KDE system monitor for GPU broke after nvidia 535 [Solved]

[dove]

I use system monitor in panel while using blender to keep track of vram usage. Nvidia 535 broke this. After researching this I found this https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1 ... _kde_once/. My question is the fix was on Ubuntu and will it be OK on MX or/and will the it just be fixed if I wait which seems to be suggested in this link?

[dolphin_oracle]

looks ok to me. its easy enough to try, and if it doesn't work delete the file.

[dove]

It worked like a charm. Looks to be safe on MX KDE

[Stevo]

Is that widget from the Debian repos, or manually installed via KDE's "get new stuff"?

[dove]

This seems to be known KDE problem with nvidia drivers

[dove]

Also it was from "get stuff"

Please click the checkmark in the top right of the post (to the left of the username) that holds the solution to mark the topic solved, thanks :)

Stevo read the top part of the nvidia-smi in the fix to see what the problem is.

: <<'README'

Applicable nvidia driver versions: 525, 530, 535, 545, 550

ABOUT --

  Since nvidia driver 525, field parsing in KDE system monitor stumbled twice:

  - 525: `nvidia-smi dmon` appends a tailing space on each line printed.
    Fixed in plasma 5.27 [1]

  - 535: There are extra columns in `nvidia-smi dmon -s pucm` output.
    Fixed in plasma 5.27.7 [2]

  Some systems won't receive the fixes like ubuntu 22.04 running plasma
  5.24. This tool can be used instead to normalize `nvidia-smi dmon` output
  before passing it to the parser.

  The tool only changes anything either when called by ksystemstats or when
  there is NVIDIA_SMI_ADAPTER=y env var. Otherwise, it just runs the nvidia-smi
  binary as-is.

  [2] https://invent.kde.org/plasma/ksystemstats/-/commit/7f9ead6bdd

INSTALLATION --

  Save the script as 'nvidia-smi' under /usr/local/bin/, make it executable and
  reboot or relog.

TECHNICAL DETAILS --

  `dmon -s pucm` cols expected by KDE system monitor: gpu pwr gtemp mtemp sm mem
  enc dec mclk pclk fb bar1

  Since 535:
  - extra cols in `dmon -s u`: jpg, ofa

  Since 535 (excluding some 535.x.y and 545):
  - extra cols in `dmon -s m`: ccpm

Maybe the developer putting it in the KDE stuff repository can fix it? (Steve waving arms)
