    Does System Monitor crash sometimes on start up?

    I have Kubuntu 24.04
    It hasn't happened in a week or 2 but before that, very rarely, it would crash at startup.


    I have a AMD Radeon RX 6800 video card and Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz CPU.
    When I open System Monitor, it opens on Overview so I quickly click on History.

    I always keep my system up to date.
    OS=Kubuntu 24.04 CPU=Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz L3 = 32 MB RAM=24 GB
    GPU=AMD RX 6800 16 GB
    HDD=It's not 1 TB. It's 931 GB. Do the math!
    For Ubuntu/Kubuntu, get rid of the Spectre crap mitigations to get full CPU performance.Run lscpu. Notice the lines starting with Vulnerability. Do you have the word "mitigation". That's bad. Edit the file /etc/default/grub. You might find the line that says

    If it happens again you could try resetting the configuration by deleting the directory ~/.local/share/plasma-systemmonitor.

    if you start it with
    Code:
    plasma-systemmonitor --page-name History
    it will start on that page.

    You can use the KDE Menu Editor to enter the Command-line arguments "--page-name History" for the menu item, but it might be better to drag it from the menu to the desktop or a panel, then right-click that, Properties, Application tab and enter the arguments there.

      Thanks,
      that plasma-systemmonitor --page-name History
      worked but it would be better if the software saved its state without the user having to modify Start menu command line things.
