Applications & Processes Tabs are Blank with No Items. Regression?

[robinkleem]

I know that this issue has occurred in the past and was addressed. Perhaps there has been a regression?

Here are the key facts:

• I am running the latest flatpak version of resources.
• The Applications tab shows "System Processes" 0B Memory and o.o% Processor and nothing else (see image below)
• Processes tab is entirely blank and shows nothing (see image below)
• All other tabs, including GPU, are working as expected

If I run "net.nokyan.Resources" from the cli, the application starts and works (with the issues documented above), and I get the following output:

INFO  resources::application > Resources (net.nokyan.Resources)
 INFO  resources::application > Version: 1.2.1 ()
 INFO  resources::application > Datadir: /app/share/resources
 DEBUG resources::application::imp > GtkApplication<Application>::startup
 DEBUG resources::application::imp > GtkApplication<Application>::activate

If I run "sudo net.nokyan.Resources" from the cli, the application fails to start and I get the following output:

error: app/net.nokyan.Resources/x86_64/stable not installed

I have tried toggling various settings using flatseal, but this did not make any difference.

I am happy to provide any other information that may be useful to help diagnose this issue.

Hi, thanks for reporting the issue. Which operating system are you running?

[nokyan]

I am running NIxOS 24.05 (Uakari) with Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU. I'm happy to provide a more detailed hardware/software breakdown if it would be helpful. Please let me know specifically what you require. Thank you.

Resources' process scanning unfortunately doesn't work as a Flatpak on NixOS since Resources needs to launch a seperate executable outside the Flatpak sandbox to do that and NixOS (as far as I know) doesn't support running ordinary executables. In #76, @Lukas-Heiligenbrunner seems to have made it work using NixOS' own package manager. Can you try that?

[Lukas-Heiligenbrunner]

Indeed it is :) https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&show=resources&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=resources

I'm wondering why everybody tries to put gnome in front of the name, although its only a gtk and not a gnome app, yet^^

Firstly, @nokyan and @Lukas-Heiligenbrunner, thank you both for your respective work on this project. I do think once the bugs are ironed-out it will be the preeminent GUI based resources monitor for Linux distributions.

@Lukas-Heiligenbrunner, apologies, resources is indeed now part of the unstable repo now. For some or other reason when I try and run it without first installing it via nix-shell i.e. nix-shell -p resources then I get an error involving error: undefined variable 'gnome-resources. However if I install the application via configuration.nix then it installs and I can indeed browse the apps and process tabs which are correctly populated.

Unfortunately however the GPU tab does not populate with the correct information.

As documented for @nokyan, if I install the flatpak version of resources (net.nokyan.Resources) then the application and process tabs do not display correctly, however the GPU tab does display correctly.

@Lukas-Heiligenbrunner, I don't want to hijack this thread to document feedback about the Nix version of resources. Is there a separate location to post feedback for the Nix version instead?

Thank you very much for your kind words. :) Could you send a screenshot of the GPU tab? I'm not familiar with NixOS and how packaging for it works but maybe there's something I could use to locate the issue.

I'm seeing the same problem, but I am running Elementary OS 6.1. That is, no processes or applications show up. I first had a flatpak installation. Then I tried installing it directly from the AppCenter. Same problem.

Can you run flatpak run net.nokyan.Resources in a terminal and send me the output?

Ran the flatpak command you asked me to run and got the following output (see attachment).

So I installed elementary OS 6.1 in a VM and could reproduce your issue. The problem is that elementary OS 6.1 is already 2.5 years old and ships a glibc that's too old for Resources' companion process that is spawned outside the Flatpak sandbox to gather process data. Consider updating to a newer version of elementary OS.

Hi I have the same issue no process shows.

Environment: PostMarket OS edge, gnome 46, Librem 5, mobile phone, flatpak resources v 1.5.0, wayland-1.23.0-r0.

Could you please post the full logs in text form? This screenshot doesn't really help too much, I'm afraid. Though since this has probably something to do with resources-processes, you can also try running /var/lib/flatpak/app/net.nokyan.Resources/current/active/files/libexec/resources/resources-processes in a terminal and post the logs in text from here. If nothing happens after executing the command above, press Enter in the terminal. This should cause a lot of text to be printed in the console.

I can't really read anything in there, is it possible to just copy the output out of your terminal?

[CaptainMorgan12]

that is what shows on the terminal and agreed it isnt legible unfortunately
