Created attachment 135813 [details] screenshot of plasmoids on computer 1 SUMMARY ksysguardd plasmoids are "bilingual", leading to some values not being monitorable since the plasmoid seems to expect german but the underlying tools deliver english output. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. ? 2. ? 3. ? ... i haven't found any way to clearly reproduce it. I have two systems both running the same versions of packages (I ran rpm -qa | sort -V on both and fed the output into diff), and the behaviour of ksysguardd plasmoids is broken on both, but differently. OBSERVED RESULT Plasmoids display no values, or values with german (unusable) descriptions. I've attached two screenshots from my two desktops which make it much more clear. EXPECTED RESULT plasmoids should consistently use the same language all over, and consistently monitor and display system values.

Created attachment 135814 [details] screenshot of plasmoids on computer 2 Specifically, compare the "disk usage" plasmoid in both screenshots. Both computers have their storage set up the same way: one physical harddisk, all filesystems are logical volumes in LVM in the same volumegroup, even the names are similar, for example the root filesystem is /dev/system/rootvol on both computers. Also, the user running the desktop is member of the same groups (wheel, disk, and all that) on both systems.
at least the part about the disk usage plasmoind displaying "Linux Filesystem" instead of the device or mountpoint has been solved - the filesystems in question did not have a file system label. I believe that should actually be in the documentation for the plasmoid somewhere.

That would be much more informative.
The mixed language output might just be that the German translation is not finished yet. For the disk names we use whatever the Solid library returns as displayName() of the disk (i.e. the names also in Dolphin sidebar) which I guess uses the label but indeed maybe mountpoint might make more sense, both sets of names in your screenshot are not very useful Any other plasmoid not working?
Needsinfo because waiting for inco
other ksysguard plasmoids seem to work fine.
Ok if they are fine, then I will close this, seems like you figured the out the issue with the names of the hard drives
