Ksysguard

[faeychild]

My sporadic research suggest that the various thermal monitors I have
tried require that ksysguard be installed for their operation

Is ksysguard no longer part of Plasma?

Yes and no. The Friendly Folks at KDE rewrote it, and it's now called
plasma-systemmonitor. It's in the Mageia 9 repos.

There is also a plasma-applet-thermal-monitor that might address your
needs.

* the temperature of the motherboard and CPU sensors (using lm-sensors).
* the temperature of the NVidia GPUs (using XNVCtrl).
* the temperature of ATI/AMD GPUs (not enabled in Ubuntu PPAs or official distribution repositories, see the instructions for enabling its support).
* the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives (using hddtemp or libatasmart).
* the rotation speed of the fans (using lm-sensors).
* the CPU usage (using Gtop2).

I've used it, and it worked well on my hardware. Of course, I can't say
for sure how any of those will work on yours.

The change to plasma-systemmonitor is also mentioned in the release notes.

Those along with https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_9_Errata should be at least
skimmed by any Mageia 9 user.

I am criminally negligent when it comes to errata and release notes
and now it has bitten me in the ass

Mea Culpa. Some of my problems were addressed

Currently everything is OK with some aesthetic niggles, I have gotten
off lightly

I don't even try to remember the many items listed there, so when ever I do
a new install, I skim those pages first, and look there for any solutions to
problems encountered before looking elsewhere.
