btop working here, no crashes when i hit P but i’m on
nvidia and Kernel Version: 6.15.3-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Works fine for me. I’m on amd integrated gpu. Can you try to backup your existing btop config and let it generates the fresh new one?
Bug: when I hit p, btop crashes:
Debugging:
I did move the config files to another dir, the crash persisted.
I removed aur/btop-gpu-git 1.3.0.r875.e15e0b7-1 (+2 0.00)
I installed extra/btop 1.4.3-3 (555.2 KiB 1.6 MiB) (Installed)
The crash persisted.
Then, I noticed that the optional package
extra/rocm-smi-lib 6.4.1-1 8.51 MiB 1.02 MiB
was installed.
I removed extra/rocm-smi-lib 6.4.1-1 8.51 MiB 1.02 MiB
The crash disappeared.
I installed extra/rocm-smi-lib 6.4.1-1 8.51 MiB 1.02 MiB
The crash came back.
Thus, the crash is when btop access the optional package rocm-smi-lib
Now, let us find dmsg for amd
And we will find the I2C access is generating a bunch of errors. Those access is to fetch data from amd sensors. The acces is done via rocm-smi-lib.

It will work with the AMD iGPU as well and will show its usage. I am not sure if it is absolutely something needed, but it can show you the usage and memory usage for the iGPU.
What are you using to browse the internet, localhost:5500?
It’s just the preview of his MD file in browser, you can do that directly from neovim
I’ve checked with chatgpt, it’s more suitable for discreet gpu. Thanks for the info 
I like that glances (on any specific system) can be viewed remotely via web-mode.
Oh, interesting. I didn’t know that.
Had never heard of btop before reading this thread. Liking it a lot. Many thx!
