MX-19 Repository: The bpytop Thread

[SwampRabbit]

bpytop 1.0.26 SEE LAST POST FOR LATEST VERSION in the MX Test Repository for MX-19.
Use MX Package Installer to install.

bpytop for MX Linux now comes with a desktop menu entry!
No need to only launch it from the terminal, you can find it under Utilities and System in the Whisker menu or the right click menu.

bpytop is a really neat and extensive resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes.
It is a python port of bashtop.

Features:

• Easy to use, with a game inspired menu system.
• Full mouse support, all buttons with a highlighted key is clickable and mouse scroll works in process list and menu boxes.
• Fast and responsive UI with UP, DOWN keys process selection.
• Function for showing detailed stats for selected process.
• Ability to filter processes, multiple filters can be entered.
• UI menu for changing all config file options.
• Auto scaling graph for network usage.
• Shows current read and write speeds for disks.
• Uses the same theme files as bashtop so any theme made for bashtop will work.

More information for end users can be found GitHub README.

Please let us know if you run into any issues using it or don't.

Has an unmet dependency

@ChrisUK

Thanks for the quick testing, yes it is needs psutils from the Test Repo, let me check that moving that one will not break something that relies on the default Debian Buster 2.7 python version.

[SwampRabbit]

From first glance, it looks like moving python3-psutil from the Test Repo to main would cause issues, but sent a PM to the Repo Manager just in case.

[SwampRabbit]

bpytop is being moved back to the MX Test Repo to ensure we don't have move other things out of the MX Test Repo into Main without ensuring stability.

bpytop and its dependencies are stable though. Apologies on the back and forth.

I use this on antiX very low on resources as it is python based.

dependency
python3-psutil (5.5.1-1) this was not enough needed dev too.
python3-all-dev (3.7.3-1) so dropped this on too.

But the way I installed it with pip3 install bpytop --upgrade but then again I,m not normal.

thank you for that but python3-all-dev is not a dependency if you install it from our repos

normal users should use MXPI to install

[Helen-Earth]

Thanks for your reply.
I use it with antiX and the main reason I install from pip the developer updates it all time, some times every few days and upon opening get dunst notify about an update. Sorry if confused you.
