Problem Overview
System Monitor application failed to detect my storage disk and show 0 B of space.
I have just recently installed Kubuntu 24.04 onto my machine (MSI Modern 14 B11MOU) with KDE Plasma 5.27, yet the System Monitor program failed to detect any storage disk despite running df -h and dolphin file manager show that the machine indeed detects my disk and its total/available space. I allocate around 70% of the disk to Kubuntu, 20% to Windows, and the rest to the system itself.
Symptoms
- The disk section shows no information.
- Disk usage graphs are empty.
- Editing disk info with disk page doesn't show any partition disks
Expectations
- Disk section shows the information with its graph
- Editing disk shows each of the available partition disks
Output of inxi -F -xxx
Neofetch output
Screenshots

Image: disk shows 0 B of both used and total space, and disks sensor detects zero disk partitions

Image: KDE Partition Manager, clearly shows Kubuntu itself does detect all disk partition properly
I have tried to look for similar posts on a plethora of forums, yet couldn't find the exact same one and decided to ask to this forum, I apologize if I miss a specific forum. Any help would be highly appreciated, thank you..
