I’m not sure how but system was working fine before I tried installing some packages…specifically the plugins for netspeed but now when I try to run it I get:
[famewolf@e525 ~]$ deepin-system-monitor
deepin-system-monitor: error while loading shared libraries: libnethogs.so.0.8.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I’ve tried with both “nethogs” and “nethogs-git”. I’ve uninstalled both packages and reinstalled them. any ideas?
update I figured it out eventually. The deepin-system monitor is looking for libnethogs.so.0.8.5 and the latest nethogs now is libnethogs.so.0.8.6. I added a symbolic link to libnethogs.so.0.8.5 pointing to libnethogs.so.0.8.6 and it worked fine for now but it needs to be recompiled by someone. I wasn’t sure where to report this. Please let me know if you know where.
Well I must be an idiot. I registered at the arch bug site and search on deepin-system-monitor to confirm it had not been reported but did not see anywhere to add a new bug. I ended up sending an email to the email of the packages of that particular community package with the info.
I have no knowledge but I read this on the wiki. May be of some help:
If a partial upgrade scenario has been created, and binaries are broken because they cannot find the libraries they are linked against, do not “fix” the problem simply by symlinking . Libraries receive soname bumps when they are not backwards compatible . A simple pacman -Syu to a properly synced mirror will fix the problem as long as pacman is not broken.
Updated mirrors via the popup window on endeavouros. It didn’t fix the issue as deepin-system-monitor has not been upgraded and is a binary only package. While I understand what your saying the symlink was a quick and dirty fix to get the monitor working because deepin doesn’t have anything that shows network speed as least not that I can get to work. There are 3 different plugins stating they show cpu and network speed but none of them actually WORK with the existing deepin installation which is probably why they were not included in the meta package.
I just ran reflector --latest 200 --protocol http --protocol https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and will try the pacman -Syu again after it finishes but yeah I believe so.
I also finally got logged into the bug tracker. Last pass was trying to use my confirmation code as my username which explains the issue. Now I can add a task.
Thank you! I knew how to git clone and do a make install but had not yet learned enough on makepkg. I was reading to see if “checkinstall” which will build a rpm, deb etc depending on distro worked in arch. I’ve added it to my notes to read more on asap.
I think I’m missing a few steps…the dir you provided has a PKGBUILD and a .install file which basically looks like a generic template with nothing in it. I don’t see the actual source or am I not supposed to? Apologies if I’m missing something basic.
update
Ok I see my problem…shouldn’t use git clone…will try wget.

Aborting…
So…is there a simple method to downgrade nethogs? (it may have gotten upgraded as a dependency of a plugin that did not work and was later uninstalled.)
Still interested in knowing how to downgrade but package maintainer just replied in email “Thanks for the info. Fixed in deepin-system-monitor 5.0.0-3.”
