How to report a bug ?

First of all, try to run Glances with the -d (Debug) flag on the command line. A glances.log file will be generated with a lot of information (to find the glances.log path, please run 'make show-version').

Then you need a GitHub account (it's free...) to log bug on the Glances' tracker.

Click on this link and enter the following information:

• Glances and PsUtil version (output of make show-version command)
• System configuration: Operating system name and version (output of uname -a and python -V on GNU/Linux)
• Problem description (in English) and optionaly error message displayed by Glances
• A copy/paste of relevant messages in the log file (glances.log)
• A copy/paste of make show-issue

Thanks for your time !
