Linux/python help wanted ["resolved", kinda] 

Can somebody explain me what I need to do to get bpytop to run again? Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing helps.

it's been like this after I updated to the latest LTS version of (l)ubuntu. Maybe I did chose the wrong option at the point where it asked "delete things you don't need anymore"

it's not really important, it was just nicer to look at than htop.

@jollysea is that from apt or pip?

@noiob should be apt. not 100 sure :D

@jollysea it's probably apt. You could try the pip version (pip3 install bpytop --upgrade)

@noiob "error: externally-managed-environement"
well at least now I know it's apt and not pip :D

re: Linux/phyton help wanted 

@jollysea ah right apt wants to control python packages… hm

maybe try the script from the top answer here? tbh apt install --reinstall usually solves stuff for me

@noiob sadly, that didn't help. welp.

@jollysea @noiob could try btop instead, which iirc is just a rewrite of bpytop in c++. I regularly use btop
