Description

I just tried with python2.7 and I do have some stacktrace while its running, but glances keeps running (doesn't crash like in python3.6). Gives something a bit ugly like this:

Here's in plain text (I cleaned output a little):

Exception in thread Thread-7:

in case it's useful:

Corrected in the latest commit (4825f2e) in the DEVELOP branch.

Will be release in Glances 2.9.

Thanks for the fix. Also, deleting the file manually and running the glances again did fix the problem by setting the right owner on the file. 👍
