Btop crashes immediately with "Exception during Config::unlock() : unordered_map::at"

General system Newbie

I’m experiencing a consistent crash with btop on my EndeavourOS installation. The program fails to start with an error before any configuration files can be created.

Error Message

text

ERROR: Exception during Config::unlock() : unordered_map::at

System Information

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7530U (6-core, Zen 3+)
  • GPU: AMD Barcelo integrated graphics (Radeon)
  • Shell: Nushell (nu)
  • Terminal: Konsole

bash

$ lspci | grep -i vga
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Barcelo (rev c5)

Locale Configuration (Verified Working)

Initially had UTF-8 locale errors, but those are now resolved:

bash

$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
# ... all other LC_* variables set to en_US.UTF-8

What I’ve Tried (None Worked)

  1. Fixed UTF-8 locale issues - Generated locales, set LANG/LC_ALL in shell config
  2. Attempted btop --utf-force - No effect on the crash
  3. Updated btop to latest version from repos

(btop4win works perfectly on Windows 11 on the same hardware with full GPU monitoring)

Packages Installed

bash

$ pacman -Qs btop
local/btop (version here)

bash

$ pacman -Qs rocm
local/btop 1.4.5-1
    A monitor of system resources, bpytop ported to C++

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It seems to be a known bug.

Well, btop worked fine on ubuntu based linux and windows btop4win. I just switched to EndavourOS from Windows, so I thought this is an Endavour specific problem.

Well I don’t know it works without problems on my EOS plasma, but I haven’t got Nushell installed, and I don’t know if the bug can be related to that . Don’t think you could compare Ubuntu with a rolling distro like EOS, which has upstream updates all of the time, and I can see the last update for Btop is about a month ago.

Just tested btop on my system: works without problem here.

Just launched Btop on my EOS install. Zero issues.

EDIT:
There appears to be a bug similar to the OP’s issue that was filed in January and is still being discussed…

You mean this topic I guess ? :grin:

I didn’t even notice that. I sometimes miss text as a link. I tend to just link the page itself, much easier to see.

Chalk it up to old age and deteriorating vision.

Guess I am a lazy person and don’t want to scroll through a topic with all the links that take up a lot of space in a topic. But I agree it is just a bit of getting used to , because in the beginning I also missed a lot of that hyperlinks. Now I think it is a nice option to use.
