Required prerequisites

  • I have read the documentation https://nvitop.readthedocs.io.
  • I have searched the Issue Tracker that this hasn't already been reported. (comment there if it has.)
  • I have tried the latest version of nvitop in a new isolated virtual environment.

What version of nvitop are you using?

nvitop 1.4.2

Operating system and version

Debian 6.1.119-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

NVIDIA driver version

570.124.06

NVIDIA-SMI


Python environment

installed using pip: pip install nvitop

3.11.2 (main, Nov 30 2024, 21:22:50) [GCC 12.2.0] linux
nvidia-ml-py==12.560.30
nvitop==1.4.2

Problem description

I expect nvitop to continue running after invocation, as it did the last time I used it under the same conditions.

What happens now is that when I run nvitop, it shows the UI briefly and then exits.

Steps to Reproduce

Command lines:

nvitop

Traceback


Logs


Expected behavior

No response

Additional context

I tried using the --monitor argument, but it did not change the behavior.

@XuehaiPan commented on GitHub (Apr 8, 2025):

@alej0varas Maybe your Python installation is missing the ncurses support:

python3.11 -c 'import curses'

You will need to install libcurses and libcursesw.

I think it was because the GPU driver was not working correctly. Maybe a message could be displayed in that case.

I'm closing this issue.

Thanks.
