  • gotop version (gotop -V): gotop v4.0.0 (20200607T220652)
  • The output of uname -a: Linux UD-TinyPiNAS 4.19.127-1-MANJARO-ARM #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 11 06:12:53 CDT 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux
  • Terminal emulator (e.g. iTerm or gnome terminal): Kitty
  • Any relevenat hardware info: Raspberry Pi 4 1 GB RAM
  • Additional notes: gotop was installed from the AUR package gotop-bin using yay The RPI 4 is on my local network and being SSH'd onto
  • Screenshot of gotop: image

What happens is, although the RPI 4 has the function to measure the CPU temperature by running /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp nothing is shown. Also in the CPU field all of the processes show either NaN or +inf.

The temperature issue is already reported at issue #37. The CPU issue might be due to the architecture of the system because issue #104 shows that somebody using arch on a armv7 raspberry pi outputs CPU values different than NaN and inf, although claiming to be inconsistent with htop.
