--- THIS SCRIPT IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED ---
Applicable nvidia driver versions: 525, 530, 535, 545, 550
ABOUT --
Since nvidia driver 525, field parsing in KDE system monitor stumbled twice:
- 525: `nvidia-smi dmon` appends a tailing space on each line printed.
Fixed in plasma 5.27 [1]
- 535: There are extra columns in `nvidia-smi dmon -s pucm` output.
Fixed in plasma 5.27.7 [2]
Some systems won't receive the fixes like ubuntu 22.04 running plasma
5.24. This tool can be used instead to normalize `nvidia-smi dmon` output
before passing it to the parser.
The tool only changes anything either when called by ksystemstats or when
there is NVIDIA_SMI_ADAPTER=y env var. Otherwise, it just runs the nvidia-smi
binary as-is.

INSTALLATION --
Save the script as 'nvidia-smi' under /usr/local/bin/, make it executable and
reboot or relog.
TECHNICAL DETAILS --
`dmon -s pucm` cols expected by KDE system monitor: gpu pwr gtemp mtemp sm mem
enc dec mclk pclk fb bar1
Since 535:
- extra cols in `dmon -s u`: jpg, ofa
Since 535 (excluding some 535.x.y and 545):
- extra cols in `dmon -s m`: ccpm

It should work for you. Assuming you're in the dir where this script is stored, could you show me output of such commands:

./nvidia-smi dmon -s pucm -c 1

and

NVIDIA_SMI_ADAPTER=y ./nvidia-smi dmon -s pucm -c 1
