bpytop: [BUG] PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/proc/diskstats' when running from snap
Upon invocation bpytop starts, displays loading screen and promptly exits with the error message:
Bpytop exited with errorcode (1). See /root/snap/bpytop/147/.config/bpytop/error.log for more information!
The log file boils down to
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/proc/diskstats'
I can read /proc/diskstats as normal user (permission 444).
To Reproduce
snap install bpytop
bpytop
Expected behavior bpytop starts in all its glory

This tip from the README file fixed the issue for me:
@misieck @0nyr Read the install instructions: https://snapcraft.io/install/bpytop/ubuntu or https://github.com/aristocratos/bpytop#snap-package
(As would a non snap package so it works on systems that snap doesn’t work on (like where ~ isn’t in /home) )
@kz6fittycent Figured that was likely. Guess they need to manually review it, not sure who would actually be dumb enough to write malware in python though 😃
