Bug ID: 444152
Summary: System monitor does not allow executing commands or
launching apps
Product: plasma-systemmonitor
Version: 5.23.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: ksysguard-b...@kde.org
Reporter: david.cortes.riv...@gmail.com
CC: ahiems...@heimr.nl, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
>From the new system monitoring app, it is not possible to lauch new processes
as one would be able to do in e.g. MS windows. This is particularly useful when
one needs to kill or restart key processes - for example, if I kill kwin
through this app, there is no way to easily recover, whereas in MS windows one
can kill a process and easily launch it again from there.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch system monitor.
2. Go to "Processes".
3. Find kwin_x11 and kill it.
4. Try to recover from that.
OBSERVED RESULT
Not possible to relaunch kwin or other processes from there.
EXPECTED RESULT
Should let me issue commands and launch processes from there as an aid in
emergency situations (I'm likely to have this app also while my system is low
on resources for example).
