• Ksysguard

    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.

    You might also want to look into psensor. The description says:

    Psensor is a graphical hardware temperature monitor for Linux. It can monitor:
    * 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. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_9_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

    Not quite he format I was accustomed to, but I can see what I need from
    the task bar icon

    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.
