Thanks, I have forward-ported the patch, added a commit message and pushed the patch upstream:
https://repo.or.cz/iotop.git/commit/443737ec620a699286b9b2e44dbcaac53f553812 At some point in the next few weeks I'll make a new release, upload it to Debian and get it synced to Ubuntu. Since the patch is only a workaround, it would be good to have a proper fix; guess the encoding using chardet or similar and coerce the bytes into Unicode. Any help with that is welcome. status fixcommitted ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #737043 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=737043 ** Also affects: iotop (Debian) via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=737043 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1932523 Title: iotop can raise UnicodeDecodeError because /proc/pid/status can have non-utf-8 data in Name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iotop/+bug/1932523/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
