I have been trying to build a Docker image for glances, but I get the following error:

W: --force-yes is deprecated, use one of the options starting with --allow instead.

I've tried with Ubuntu Xenial and Bionic as base image. I've tried the develop and release/glances2 branches. Always the same error.

See nicolargo/glances#916

Dear support,
I found that after in-place upgrading Debian-11.7 -> Debian-12.0 the glances binary no longer works:

# glances Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/glances", line 5, in <module> from glances import main ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'glances'

I want to hear the opinion of the community on this?
Very thanks for the support.

So following the autoinstall instructions i get this output. It fails saying that the script is not compliant with my system. How do i go about fixing this?

At least in Ubuntu 16.04, upgrading system pip was not a very sensible action (required sudo apt-get purge python-pip && sudo apt-get install python-pip to recover)

If your only goal is to avoid having some specific broken version, it might be nice to indicate so.

Any reason why not to try to autoinstall gcc lib on Ubuntu at #L57?

IMO, pip should also be upgraded first with pip install --upgrade pip at #L90 (optional)

and then setuptools should be included on $DEPS at #L89.

Hey guys,

i would love to see OS X Compability here.
A "pip install glances" on OS X Sierra worked just fine and glances started without any visible issues to me.
If you need any information to make this work, i will be giving them to you asap.

best regards,
ss89

Any thoughts on this? http://codepad.org/7XSooaT9

Source: nicolargo/glances#1448 (comment) (by @KenanSulayman)

The “Glances Auto Install script” as listed on the website should not install Homebrew without explicit warning and the website should explicitly mention that the automated installation will try install Homebrew on the host system.

I deeply abhor Homebrew and would have loved to be given a choice, and even better, had glances use my existing MacPorts installation.

Thanks

If any of the do_with_root argument itself contains a space, it will be re-tokenized (because of $*).

You should replace all the unquoted $*s with "$@". (NOT the echo one; it doesn't make sense)

It might be a good idea to shellcheck https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck the script

The script is not working on Ubuntu 20.04

Description

When installing glances via the install.sh script on a VPS hosted by Strato the installation fails with the following messages:
Server 1:
Detected system: strato
Server 2:
Detected system: plesk

The scripts seems to be unable to use the lsb_release tool on the servers although it is installed. When using the workaround:
find /etc -type f -maxdepth 1 \( ! -wholename /etc/os-release ! -wholename /etc/lsb-release -wholename /etc/\*release -o -wholename /etc/\*version \) 2> /dev/null
it gets the following outputs:
/etc/strato-release /etc/debian_version
and
/etc/plesk-release /etc/debian_version /etc/strato-release

which result in the error that this is a unsupported system.

Servers

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit + Plesk 12.5

As far as I can see that this issue is related to the way the distribution detection is done.
Maybe the script simply needs to be expanded with the values I stated above. I would create a pull request if that is the case. If further development would be needed, then I personally can't help.

If further information is needed I will provide it.

I appreciate any support!

Describe the bug
In the installation/setup script are wrong package names called. So the simple install instruction from website don't work.

used command:

curl -L https://bit.ly/glances | /bin/bash

Error:

install python packages with pip as the superuser, using sudo without using the -H modifier, causes permissions issues in pip cache folder.

it was necessary, I run sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.cache/pip/ to correct the permissions

I wanted to throw out an improvement suggestion, which is to launch docker containers and set up a .travis.yml file to create a matrix of tests for each supported OS.

We could put in a flag or something to dump the output into a file and use that to verify the installation was successful.

Is there any reason why not using python3 by default (via pip3 on ubuntu) ?

Dear support,
I tried to reinstall glances with the glancesautoinstall script (curl -L https://bit.ly/glances | /bin/bash) and got the following error:

`# curl -L https://bit.ly/glances | /bin/bash

Install dependencies
error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.

If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
sure you have python3-full installed.

If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.

See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information.

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.`

As far as I understand, you now need to change the way you install glances in a Debian-12 environment?
Very thanks for the support.

Hi,

I am trying to build your Dockerfile in order to get last version of glances, however the installation script is not compatible with latest ubuntu.

python-pip is not supported anymore, either you should use migrate to python3 (with python3-pip) or use the following to get it install : curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py

In the mean time, I will try to work on a Dockerfile to do it.
Thank you.

EDIT: I am doing a PR on your main repo with an updated Dockerfile. I let you have a look. Thanks again.
