[BUG] Does not work without sysguard, which is no always available anymore #24

Closed exzombie closed 2 years ago

exzombie commented 2 years ago

Hi,

Based on other issues (#6, #8, #18), I know you are aware that ksysguard has been deprecated. I opened this issue to make it clear that it already cannot even be installed on some distros (NixOS 21.11 and Debian testing, for example). Therefore, this widget will need to be ported to the new resource monitoring library sooner rather than later. I'll see if I can help, but my free time is unpredictable, so no promises :)

Hello, Since v2.6.0 the package ksysguard is no longer needed and this widget now use libksysguard and this package is an requirement of ksystemstats and that is an requirement of plasma-systemmonitor and plasma-workspace. So libksysguard should be installed by default on recent plasma versions.

:man_facepalming: Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. I was testing an outdated version, should have double-checked. After removing the files and reinstalling, it works.

Thanks for maintaining this excellent plasmoid!
