Public bug reported: This is a 15.10 fresh install, although the user has a home partition saved from previous installs. Note that creating a fresh user shows the same problem, however.
When launching glances this happens: $ glances Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/glances", line 9, in <module> load_entry_point('Glances==2.3', 'console_scripts', 'glances')() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/glances/__init__.py", line 119, in main args=core.get_args()) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/glances/core/glances_standalone.py", line 62, in __init__ self.stats.update() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/glances/core/glances_stats.py", line 156, in update self._plugins[p].update() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/glances/plugins/glances_processcount.py", line 58, in update glances_processes.update() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/glances/core/glances_processes.py", line 555, in update standard_stats=self.get_max_processes() is None) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/glances/core/glances_processes.py", line 362, in __get_process_stats proc.as_dict(attrs=['cpu_percent', 'memory_percent', 'name', 'cpu_times'], ad_value='')) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/psutil/__init__.py", line 429, in as_dict ret = attr() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/psutil/__init__.py", line 505, in name name = self._proc.name() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/psutil/_pslinux.py", line 645, in wrapper return fun(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/psutil/_pslinux.py", line 676, in name return f.read().split(' ')[1].replace('(', '').replace(')', '') File "/usr/lib/python3.4/codecs.py", line 319, in decode (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 20: invalid continuation byte ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: glances 2.3-1build1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-27.32-generic 4.2.8-ckt1 Uname: Linux 4.2.0-27-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Date: Mon Feb 8 17:48:40 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-02-08 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Release amd64 (20151021) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: glances UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: glances (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug wily -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1543210 Title: glances crashes with utf-8 decoding related problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glances/+bug/1543210/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
