SUMMARY The Network speed widget shows no graph. No network sensors are available in the Sensors detail panel, although other sensor categories (CPUs, Disks etc.) are listed. Other system monitoring widgets work fine. It is worth mentioning that the network monitor panel in the System load tab of KSysGuard works fine. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add a Network speed widget to the desktop OBSERVED RESULT The Network speed widget shows no upload/download graphs EXPECTED RESULT The Network speed widget should show upload/download graphs SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: ArchLinux (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.11.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Affected hardware is Dell XPS 15 9570.
This has already been fixed for Plasma 6, but then it was re-broken again by Bug 476666. :/
Thanks Nate, but as I understand this is being worked for Plasma 6: will the fix be backported to 5.27 series?
I'd say it's doubtful, unfortunately.
Well, this is disappointing. A standard feature breaks in the current stable version and there's no plan to fix it. Not everybody will jump on Plasma 6 on day 0 so I was expecting more care for the 5.27 series.
