System monitor widgets not showing any sensors

As I mentioned in the title, the newly installed KDE desktop, when using widgets such as CPU usage, or memory usage, they do not show anything, it's like they cannot detect any sensors whatsoever. Does anyone have an idea what might be the issue? I have lm_sensors installed

Install , opps, you do

sudo pacman -Syu lm_sensors

after use

sudo sensors-detect

but do you run this ^

Thanks for the tip, i assumed that this was something i needed to do, but i was also required to run:

kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell

in order to get sensors detected. And i know there is a faster way to do this, but i have an alias for this command :smiley:

Thanks again!
