Description Massimiliano L 2019-03-28 10:33:16 UTC
SUMMARY
The "kcm_energyinfo" ("Energy Information" - "Energy consumption statistics") module is not accessible in "System Settings" but shows up in the application launcher search. However, after opening it from the application launcher, it will appear as "frequently used" in System Settings.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE / OBSERVED RESULT
1. Open system settings and search for "Energy Information" -> nothing shows up;
2. Open application launcher and search for "Energy Information" -> module is installed and accessible as stand alone component (although default view is of wrong size).
3. (optional) open system settings and see that "Energy Information" appears between "frequently used".

EXPECTED RESULT
The module should be accessible from System Settings. Also, when the module is opened from the application launcher, the default view of the window should have a proper size (probably a different bug report is needed for this - if that's the case please let me know).

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon 5.15
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0
Qt Version: 5.12.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Apparently kcm_energyinfo does not appear as a component in the bug tracker and is also pretty buggy, although useful. Is it supposed to be maintained?
Comment 1 Massimiliano L 2019-03-28 10:43:25 UTC
I am sorry if I did not investigate this thoroughly enough, apparently "Energy Information" is part of KInfoCenter, so that's the reason it does not show up in System Settings.

As a consequence, it should not show up between System Settings "frequently used" modules.

To the user as a potential bug reporter it is also confusing that, when opened as stand alone applications, the title bar of information modules states "system settings module".

This was done recently.
