    genodeftest - 2012-08-29

    Hi
    Thanks for making process explorer for linux!

    I tried to install it on Fedora 17 and it refuses to run. The reason is that the "procexp.sh" file tries to run procexp from /usr/lib/procexp, but it is installed to /opt/process_explorer-1.0-189/procexp/ which is out of specification. Furthermore the rpm package provides some files which should not be installed (process_explorer.spec, make_rpm.py and all those hidden files .project, .pydevproject, .svn

    http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines does provide how to package for Fedora, but this may differ from e.g. Suse (also rpm-based).

    The file structure of yumex, a python-based frontend for yum on fedora:

    Furthermore procexp doesn't display any useful information when installed from rpm on fedora. Command line output:

    procexp
network card speed detection results
------------------------------------
  ethernet device lo has unknown speed
  network graph scaling for lo is set to autoscale
  ethernet device em1 has speed 1000 Mb/s according to ethtool
unhandled exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/procexp", line 354, in updateUI
    reader.doReadProcessInfo()
  File "/opt/process_explorer-1.0-189/procexp/procreader/reader.py", line 553, in doReadProcessInfo

    self.__processList__[process]["PPID"] = int(procStatSplitted[3])
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'S'

    The "unhandled exception" is printed to terminal all the time, about once per second. procexp does not show any processes in list, no graphs and even system and network information popups do not display any data. Running with sudo privileges is no option since it is strongly discouraged to do that with graphical applications.

    procexp works fine now having PyQWT, ethtool and python-configobj (plus their dependencies) installed.
    The "unhandled exception" output does not occur any more.

    Hello genodeftest,

    Did you install the dependicy packages by hand ?
    Best regards,
    Carl.

    Yes since there is no RPM for Version 1.1.
    I'm running procexp from source now, works fine too
