Btop has been rewritten in C++, hence the ++
- aport ( @aport@programming.dev ) 15•11 months ago
Uh oh, time to rewrite it in rust
- gbin ( @gbin@lemmy.ca ) 1•11 months ago
The rust one is called bottom (btm) see the other thread :). When you already have a rust environment it is just at a cargo install away which is convenient.
Jeez, never saw that, mine just open the program

Pro tip: configure a font that doesn’t show open circles for unused braille characters to have a higher priority than your current font to get better-looking graphs.
On my system, braille characters are provided by DejaVu Serif, and it was as easy as just installing the font.
Where do you see open circles? I don’t understand sorry
- ReversalHatchery ( @ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org ) 4•11 months ago
I think they mean the variable width of the graph’s columns. If you watch it as the graph moves, there are gaps at every 2 columns.
I don’t understand though the thing about font priorities.
And also, would that just change all fonts? Unless you mod the font to only have the braille characters… - Thurstylark ( @thurstylark@lemm.ee ) English2•11 months ago
No, you’ve got it set up right. Many people will have graphs where each character rectangle has open circles for the unused braile dots in the character block.

Launch top? Quick glance, type ‘q’, then kill
- bizdelnick ( @bizdelnick@lemmy.ml ) 2•11 months ago
Just type
k
to kill. - dmrzl ( @dmrzl@programming.dev ) 2•11 months ago
Lol, top. Try that to figure out the load on a 256 core DGX slurm setup with that shit. Top is barely usable on consumer hardware…
- Aatube ( @Aatube@kbin.social ) 6•11 months ago
I mean, you do sometimes need to check out which processes are running to debug
- bizdelnick ( @bizdelnick@lemmy.ml ) 3•11 months ago
Aren’t
top

enough for that?- Aatube ( @Aatube@kbin.social ) 5•11 months ago
If it looks better and does the same thing efficiently, I’ll take the thing that looks better.
- bizdelnick ( @bizdelnick@lemmy.ml ) 1•11 months ago
You have a pre-installed tool and a tool that looks better but which you need to install. When you need it for a rare task, and you administer many machines, it is easier to use what you already have on each of them.
- Aatube ( @Aatube@kbin.social ) 1•11 months ago
Do these programs not work over SSH?
- bizdelnick ( @bizdelnick@lemmy.ml ) 1•11 months ago
Sorry, I don’t understand what you are talking about. Yes, you can run them in SSH session. No, you still need to have them installed on the remote machine to do this. And installing diagnostic tools is not only time consuming, sometimes it can be even impossible if you already get in troubles (and if you did not, why would you need them?).
- Aatube ( @Aatube@kbin.social ) 1•11 months ago
Hmm, that’s a fair argument. I’m pretty sure new server installations can just have their default program list modified though.
- ReversalHatchery ( @ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org ) 1•11 months ago

Ah, I see. I use htop as a task manager.
- anoklola ( @anoklola@mastodon.world ) 1•11 months ago
To get a comprehensive overview of your system’s resource usage, install and run the
btop
command. It’s a top-like interactive system monitor that displays a range of system information, including:-CPU usage (per core and overall)
-RAM usage (free, used, and cached)
-Disk usage (per disk and overall)
-Network usage (bytes sent and received)
-Process list (with CPU, RAM, and disk usage per process)
-System temperature
-Uptime
- TwinTusks ( @TwinTusks@outpost.zeuslink.net ) English5•11 months ago
I only use htop to kill process when it froze.
- Raccoonn ( @furycd001@lemmy.ml ) 1•11 months ago
I just use xkill for that…
- TwinTusks ( @TwinTusks@outpost.zeuslink.net ) English1•11 months ago
A question, what tod do when the laptop is completely frozen, as in you can’t even move your mouse. Is the only solution to force shutdown?
- Matty_r ( @Matty_r@programming.dev ) 4•11 months ago
You can try the Magic SysRq key, if its enabled.
- Raccoonn ( @furycd001@lemmy.ml ) 2•11 months ago
Thankfully I’ve never had that happen, but if it did I would probably just switch to a tty & use the killall command on whatever was giving me bother…
- El Gringo Loco ( @el_gringo_loco@lemmy.one ) 5•11 months ago
Yeah, that looks very cool. Wish I could use it as my wallpaper or a widget in gnome
Open btop in the terminal, then (note the terminal window must not be in fullscreen) right click with the mouse on the top bar of the terminal window and select “Always on top”.
- Papamousse ( @Frederic@beehaw.org ) 4•11 months ago

- BrioxorMorbide ( @BrioxorMorbide@lemm.ee ) English3•11 months ago
Can it show each core’s frequency? Or is there anything other than htop that can do that?
- tobimai ( @tobimai@startrek.website ) 1•11 months ago
It does
- BrioxorMorbide ( @BrioxorMorbide@lemm.ee ) 1•11 months ago
I don’t see any option in 1.2.13, and https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/issues/190 suggests it isn’t implemented yet.
- tobimai ( @tobimai@startrek.website ) 1•11 months ago
True, i confused it with clock frequency.
- dan ( @dan@upvote.au ) 3•11 months ago
This looks great! Thanks for the recommendation.
I like Netdata because it’s web based, has a large number of metrics, you can pan/zoom the graphs, and it doesn’t use much CPU power. Console UIs are nice but they’re more limiting than something web-based.
- 4am ( @4am@lemm.ee ) 3•11 months ago
I just wish there was a .deb package.
Still gonna get around to making a playbook for installing it someday. btop (and it’s predecessors) are awesome.
- caseyweederman ( @caseyweederman@lemmy.ca ) 7•11 months ago
There’s a deb in Ubuntu Universe.
Oh heck, it’s in Debian Bookworm too, and Bullseye-Backports.
Debs all around.- 4am ( @4am@lemm.ee ) 3•11 months ago

Purely on aesthetics, I find bashtop nicer, but I couldn’t get it on my server.
I often use glances for general monitoring. - Lampros Liontos ( @reteo@mastodon.online ) 2•11 months ago
It’s very attractive, but it also seems to have a minimum window size requirement that exceeds the “stack” in my “master and stack.”
It’s great to use if you need a dashboard to track issues, but for a quick look at running processes, I think I’ll stick with htop.
