Hardware: Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB Software: Twister OS 1.5 (basically just a skin on top of Raspbian 32-bit)

Bpytop doesn't show CPU temps for me on this platform, which is odd because Bashtop shows the temps just fine on the same machine. Doesn't seem to be a problem with the menu setting.

Screenshot (Bashtop left, Bpytop right):

It would be nice to have some battery/power info included in bpytop for battery backed systems (laptops, machines with UPS)

must haves for a basic feature: battery power status/meter (battery at xx%, meter or gauge, etc) power state (on battery, on A/C power)

nice to have: instantaneous power draw estimated time to empty

htop does the basic bits (battery meter, plugged status) well

I have a laptop that is so old it isn't properly supported by psutil or apps like Psensor for CPU temperature.

The CPU temperature is accessible via /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp.

cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon1/name

Result: acpitz

This seems to be short for "ACPI Thermal Zone".

cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/type

Result: acpitz

cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp

Result: 48800 (or similar)

Divide by 1000 and if the result is between 20C and 120C or so, and type or hwmon1/name is acpitz it should be a valid CPU temp. Theoretically.

If you can try accessing /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp if there is no response from psutil on core temps, I think a lot of these older machines could be supported for at least the main CPU temp.

This machine is a single-core Pentium 4, as many machines prior to Core Duo will be, so there would normally be only one main CPU temp. There were a few late-generation Pentiums with hyper-threading which would probably be reported as dual-core CPUs, but they are a couple of years newer and may be better supported by apps like psutil already.

bpytop is awesome, so awesome, that i use it to monitor multiple machines, and not having the hostname in the title it can be confusing as to which instance is which!

Upon invocation bpytop starts, displays loading screen and promptly exits with the error message: Bpytop exited with errorcode (1). See /root/snap/bpytop/147/.config/bpytop/error.log for more information! The log file boils down to PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/proc/diskstats' I can read /proc/diskstats as normal user (permission 444).

To Reproduce

snap install bpytop
bpytop

Expected behavior bpytop starts in all its glory

Hello,

This is repeat of my "issue" I opened on bashtop. I've got a working snap for bpytop: https://github.com/kz6fittycent/bpytop-snap/blob/master/snapcraft.yaml

We can transfer it to you via forum.snapcraft.io but I'm happy to keep maintaining it, as I have several snaps that I'm maintaining.

Let me know!

P.S. Thanks for your hard work! These tools are freaking awesome!

I think it would be easier (a one-liner) to install, if bpytop would be packaged as Python package, and be uploaded to the Python Package Index (PyPI). I can create a setup.py and open a PR, if desired.

Describe the bug

Individual core temperatures do not match labelled core and CPU Temperature appears wrong.

To Reproduce

Launch bpytop-1.0.44. on lightly loaded system. Run a single-threaded program that is CPU bound (ie. 100% CPU usage of a thread.) Observe that the temperature for core showing 100% usage is not the "hot" core. Also, CPU temperature does not change with load. (I did try cycling through the CPU sensors options within bpytop, this did not help.)

Expected behavior

The one core that is running at 100% should be the "hot" core. Also I think the CPU temperature should be the CPU Package temperature.

Screenshots

bpytop-screen.png: bpytop running with Core 2 at 100% showing temperature of 35C. It also shows Core 24 having a temperature of 57C, the "hot" core.

bpytop-sensors.png: partial output of lm-sensors showing Core 1 as the "hot" core, as it should. (Note lm-sensors starts numbering cores at zero instead of one like bpytop. https://github.com/lm-sensors/lm-sensors) Also the package temperature from lm-sensors is what the CPU temperature from bpytop should show, I think. Finally lm-sensors shows each core not each thread.

bpytop-i7z.png: screen shot of i7z showing Core 2 as the core with about 100% load like bpytop and also showing it as the "hot" core. Like lm-sensors i7z only shows each core not each thread like bpytop. https://github.com/ajaiantilal/i7z

Describe the bug

The 3950x's CCDs are cores 0-7 + 16-23, and 8-15, 24-31.

bpytop treats it like 0-15, and 16-31.

The two CCD's temperatures are flipped across 8-23 as a result

To Reproduce

Have a 3950x

Expected behavior

C1-C8 should use Tccd1 C9-16 should use Tccd2 C17-24 should use Tccd1 C25-32 should use Tccd2

Screenshots

Cores marked yellow and pink need their temperatures flipped

CCD grouping; Orange is CCD1, Yellow is CCD2

There are no errors in the error log for this condition, so I'm not sure how to begin troubleshooting it.

On a newly installed Linux Mint 20 (XFCE) system, MacBook3,1 from 2007 with 6GBs of RAM.

Symptoms:

Entire UI just stops updating and is unresponsive. If I press any keys those actions will all be performed after the freeze is over.

I've counted freeze durations of up to 20 seconds. Many of around 5-10 seconds.

This is with the refresh rate generally set to 2000ms (2 seconds).

I manually updated psutil using the instructions you provided, so the versions are:

bpytop version: 1.0.20
psutil version: 5.7.2

When this happens there is no sign of the CPU being overwhelmed with activity, nor any sign of unusual disk activity.

I can only surmise the bpytop (or some subcomponent like psutil) is encountering some sort of race condition in the background. Besides implementing time-based logic in the code that counts how long each function takes to respond and throws errors when it is longer than expected, I'm not sure how to even begin figuring out what is happening.

I haven't noticed any similar symptoms in any other GUI or terminal application. Only bpytop seems to be behaving this way. And I haven't seen this as far as I know on other systems I have available.

Starting with an empty error log, I ran bpytop --debug just long enough to experience an obvious long freeze, then exited. It didn't take long. This is the resulting log:

23/08/20 (22:40:20) | INFO: New instance of bpytop version 1.0.20 started with pid 33142

23/08/20 (22:41:05) | INFO: Exiting. Runtime 0:00:45 

Seems to have no information about what is happening.

I am experiencing a bunch of "glitch" type temporary errors being displayed during the init screen, but it usually goes away so fast I can't even catch a screenshot of what it says. It seems to happen during the "Doing some maths and drawing" phase of the init screen. It throws text all over the bottom half of the terminal window, then almost immediately disappears and the green check mark appears, and then the init process continues.

This is on a 2007 MacBook with (as far as I know) a fairly clean install of 64-bit Linux Mint 20, so I really want to get to the bottom of whatever I'm seeing.

If you can briefly tell me where to find the bpytop error log and what log level to set in the menu to hopefully catch these errors, I will try to clear the log and then get a clean log file with a single run of bpytop at the appropriate log level.

Hello, I was wondering if there is a particular reason we can't go further than the 100ms ( 9fps) update frequency. Is it a Linux terminal limitation?

I'd like to have a 16ms frequency to match it to my monitor (60Hz) or even further. Do you think is possible to get it?

Regards

Hello,

I am running a dual socket setup with 64 Core AMD Epyc CPUs. This results in 256 threads/cores that are displayed by the bpytop. If I am not using an ultra-wide monitor, this ends up looking bad with sections on the screen overlapping. Could you please style this better? One suggestion that I could make is adding a scrollbar within this section (when/as needed), very similar to the process list section.

Thanks!

Hello. Bpytop have all features from bashtop ? Reading in bpytop features is how if better than bashtop. If not what have better and more features ? bashtop or bpytop ? Only trying understand what to install here.

Thanks for read.
