BashTop & BpyTop

[Member manyroads]

I’m probably the only person here trying to use these system monitoring tools. (They are to my mind much ‘better’ than htop.) Anyway on my modified antiX19 dwm base, Bashtop (the bash version) works but BpyTop (the python version) does not.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem? If so, were you able to ‘fix’ it. Obviously I can live with this bug… (self-induced probably).

Where did you get this script? It probably needs a few packages that you don’t have installed in your system. Does the developer list the python modules needed for it to work? Does the terminal output explain in what lines the script fails? Probably we could follow the terminal output for clues to get it to work.

I found the tool here:

https://github.com/aristocratos/bpytop

There are no error messages…

Based on the github page:

Debian based

Available for debian/ubuntu from Azlux’s repository

On that site:

    echo "deb http://packages.azlux.fr/debian/ buster main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azlux.list
    wget -qO - https://azlux.fr/repo.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

Then:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --install-recommends bpytop

Whoever packaged it confused some real dependencies with recommended dependencies.

Test it. It worked for me.

@ile here is what I get when I attempt to install rofi-top

configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.40 gio-unix-2.0 gmodule-2.0 libgtop-2.0) were not met:
 
No package 'libgtop-2.0' found
 
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

I tried installing different/ additional libgtop versions and glib…. the error persists.

EDIT

The dev version worked… but now rofi is undiscoverable by the apps….

checking for rofi... no
configure: error: Package requirements (rofi) were not met:
 
No package 'rofi' found
 
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
 
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables rofi_CFLAGS
and rofi_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

This is pretty poorly pieced together for a debian based system (methinks).
