Comment 1 Nico Erfurth 2005-12-03 07:02:55 UTC
Works for me.

How do you start nethogs? Maybe it tries to listen on the wrong interface?
Comment 2 Amit Kotlovski 2005-12-03 07:32:07 UTC
My station is also the router, so i have eth0 for the lan interface, and ppp0
for the outside connection.
When i run
# nethogs ppp0

i get this:
NetHogs version 0.6.0

  PID USER     PROGRAM                      DEV        SENT      RECEIVED
0     root     unknown                                 0.000       0.000 KB/sec

  TOTAL                                                0.000       0.000 KB/sec

And it doesn't change.

When i run
# nethogs eth0

i get:
NetHogs version 0.6.0

  PID USER     PROGRAM                      DEV        SENT      RECEIVED
0     root     unknown                                 0.000       0.068 KB/sec

  TOTAL                                                0.000       0.068 KB/sec

Where the RECEIVED numbers change, but no PROGRAM specification is shown.

i run it from the root user.

Well, it works for me... If anyone can give a hand :-)
Comment 4 Marcelo Goes (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-26 15:32:42 UTC
Not much we can do here.
Upstream is aware of this bug, hopefully a solution will come out.
