SUMMARY When configuring a sensor widget, the menu that is shown when clicking "Click to select a sensor..." is missing lots of content. Example: I only get offered Power and Disks. Under Disks I only have a single item "3.6 TiB Internal Drive (dm-0)" and under that I only have a single item "... Read Rate (B/s)". Even tough in an existing widget I have a graph of another drive (dm-1) - it should have been shown as well, amongst many other things. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open System Monitor 2. Add a new page 3. Click on System Monitor Sensor 4. In the right pane, click on "Click to select a sensor..." OBSERVED RESULT Very few entries in the menu, lots of content missing EXPECTED RESULT The usual content to choose from SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 23.10 / 6.3.0-7-generic (64-bit) (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.108.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
After a couple of hours of investigating, I've found out that this was caused by export LC_ALL=C in my ~/.bashrc I saw that it's still working as expected in another account on the same box, with the only difference being that this account had German set as language in KDE, whereas mine had American English. I then tried to change it to German as well to see what would happen, but even though the UI said "Deutsch", all strings were still English. Took me a long time to make the link between my .bashrc and KDE's sensor menu being scrambled. So I still think there is a bug, but it's definitely not as severe as I thought, because there will be few users that have such an additional configuration in .bashrc.
This is already reported in bug #461070.
