Working widgets

SUMMARY
Widgets are blank after reboot, but when I add the same widgets, they are working with the same setting.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. I have 4 widgets setup on the right side of my external screen
2. After rebooting they are all blank
3. When adding the same widgets back, they are working with the same settings as the ones that are blank and I don't have to configure anything.

Another day widgets not working

Video shows adding the same widgets and they are already working with same settings as the blank widgets.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2021-03-21 13:19:17 UTC
Is `ksystemstats` running? If not, do the widgets start working if you run it manually?
Comment 6 jonzn4SUSE 2021-03-21 17:10:50 UTC
I run ksystemstats to get the Network widget to work, but the other widgets I have to add again.

Comment 8 jonzn4SUSE 2021-03-21 17:24:19 UTC
My bad... I didn't check if ksystemstats was running before I ran it.  I'll check if it's running after rebooting.

Widgets are working after reboot except Network

Yes, ksystemstats is running after rebooting, but the widget is not working until I run it manually.

After this reboot the other widgets are working this time.  The blank widget issue does not happen every reboot, but it happens enough for me top open this bug.
Comment 10 jonzn4SUSE 2021-03-21 17:41:18 UTC
After running the cmd, this is the output I get...

Could not retrieve information for NVidia GPU 0
Found unsupported GPU: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0
"Session bus not found\nTo circumvent this problem try the following command (with Linux and bash)\nexport $(dbus-launch)"

[1]    Exit 1                        ksystemstats --replace
Comment 11 Nate Graham 2021-03-21 17:49:27 UTC
Got it. Looks like there's something wrong with the interaction of the ksystemststs daemon and the applet on boot, until it's restarted manually.

Widgets dead again

This time i just logged out because the desktop lag has returned.  I logged back in and the widgets are dead again.  Notice the date and time at the bottom of the pic.

Any idea why this issue never affects the root user?  This blank widget thing is...

Please include the output of "qdbus" 

and "ps aux | grep dbus"
Comment 17 jonzn4SUSE 2021-03-28 06:08:38 UTC
Did you want this ran after a reboot?  I haven't reboot in a few days to avoid the issue.

Here it is before rebooting.

Just rebooted after 1300+ updates and the widgets are working minus Network speed.
