I tried doing this with text only info and then dragging it on to the panel, but I think I had too much info for it to work like Thermal Monitor does, so I gave up on doing it that way for now. I found that with the new System Monitor tool in KDE Plasma that it allows you to create and edit pages for sensors that you want to see, but that you can also choose to export these as a desktop widget directly from that tool. I also note that there have been some bug reports for ksystemstats in relation to memory leaks, especially if you leave the new System Monitor tool open for an extended period of time. Interestingly though, I think ksystemstats is still using some of the libraries that ksysguard was using previously, but maybe that will change more over time. In theory ksystemstats looks better as it seems that it will be easier for the developers to maintain it going forward and because it has a plugin capability for dealing with new hardware sensors. I decided to check out the comments for Thermal Monitor just to see if there were any recent issues, and that is when I learned about it needing ksysguardd to work, which I think was dropped for Plasma 5.22 as it is being replaced by ksystemstats (see ). I've already updated my laptop to Kubuntu 22.04 to see how the upgrade would go but I don't use the widget there. I've been looking into this as well as I currently use the Thermal Monitor widget on my Kubuntu 20.04 LTS desktop for monitoring CPU/GPU and most importantly for me for monitoring HDD temps. Kubuntu 22.04 with System Monitor Sensor plasmoid for comparison (each time on the far left): Debian 11 with Thermal Monitor Fix and 2. Sensor Details -> Total Sensors: CPU Group Temperature (CPU1 and CPU2 are shown - CPU3 and CPU4 were "greyed out", I presume a bug…) - Sensors and Text-Only Sensors are left blank.Įverything else did not work at all to resemble Thermal Monitor Fix (or I missed it). The only way I could get the System Monitor Sensor plasmoid to show something remotely resembling Thermal Monitor Fix was to use really strange settings (the example is for CPU): My questions are: Does anybody have a solution for 22.04 and Thermal Monitor Fix, knows another good plasmoid for this purpose or knows how to adjust the System Monitor Sensor plasmoid to look good? So in Kubuntu 22.04 I replaced it with the new System Monitor Sensor plasmoid - but it is less than aesthetically satisfying for me, no matter what I tried. Thermal Monitor Fix still works in Debian 11 KDE, despite I am using Plasma 5.24.7 and Frameworks 5.100 from Norbert Preining's backports - because I can still install ksysguardd from the official repositories as Plasma is at 5.20.5 there. Unfortunately it depends on KSysGuard (or to be more specific: on ksysguardd), which is no longer in the 22.04 repositories and seems to have been fully replaced by Plasma System Monitor. Prior to Kubuntu 22.04 I used Thermal Monitor Fix ( ) to display different temperatures in my panel (both Plasma and Latte).
