Bug ID: 474155
Summary: plasma-systemmonitor should show bandwidth in SI
bits/s, not binary-prefixed bytes/s
Classification: Applications
Product: plasma-systemmonitor
Version: 5.27.7
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: ksysguard-b...@kde.org
Reporter: andreas_norda...@hotmail.com
CC: ahiems...@heimr.nl, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
I would like plasma-systemmonitor's bandwidth view (specifically its Y-axis) to
show 1000s of b/s, not 1024s of B/s. E.g. my internet bandwidth is 10 Mb/s, not
1.3 MiB/s.
I don't think it needs to be configurable: Isn't SI-b/s simply the common unit
of bandwidth? To the point of being confusing when it's anything else? Case in
point: Every ISP gives numbers in megabits/s. Try asking any non-technical
person what that is in mebibytes/s.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run plasma-systemmonitor → Logg → Network
2. Take a bandwidth test.
OBSERVED RESULT
Wrong unit on the Y-axis.
EXPECTED RESULT
Right unit on the Y-axis.
