Troubleshooting


CPU-X won't start

  • First of all, check binary permissions (do a chmod 755 if they are wrong).
  • If this doesn't solve the problem, run CPU-X with --verbose argument, and read produced output in terminal. If you are confronted to a bug, please open a new issue.

A label is empty

  • If you manually build CPU-X, check dependencies.
  • CPU-X needs root privileges to run fine. Opening CPU-X as regular user will lead of blank labels. You can start the daemon to avoid to run the UI as root user (on a graphical environment, use the Start daemon button; you can read how to start the daemon without asking password).
  • If none of previous cases, your hardware is not recognized by a library.

High CPU usage

  • You can decrease refresh time with --refresh argument to avoid CPU-X high CPU usage.
  • If current tab is Caches or Bench (and a benchmark is running), this is a normal behavior.
