nethogs needs to be updated to 0.8.1 on kernel 4.3.3-2+

[PeterPablo]

I updated my Raspberry Pi B using sudo BRANCH=next rpi-update to Linux rpi 4.4.0-rc7+ #831 PREEMPT Mon Dec 28 19:09:59 GMT 2015 armv6l GNU/Linux.

Nethogs fails to start:

root@rpi:~# nethogs eth0
creating socket failed while establishing local IP - are you root?
nethogs -V
 version 0.8.0

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=808433
Related bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1294363

According to https://<email address hidden>/msg1380919.html, version 0.8.1 (https://github.com/raboof/nethogs/releases/tag/v0.8.1) fixes the issue. Could somebody please ping the proper person handling the raspbian apt repository and close this report? Thank you!

Seems like it's fixed in nethogs version 0.8.1

[Anderson (anderson-redhat-bugs)]

Thanks for the heads up. I just contacted upstream because I didn't even know 0.8.1 was out since their main web site hasn't been updated in years.

It seems 0.8.2 maybe coming out very soon as per: https://github.com/raboof/nethogs

So, I may just package that up...

[Anderson (anderson-redhat-bugs)]

never mind on 0.8.2, I will package up 0.8.1

Why not Fedora 22?

(In reply to Clodoaldo Pinto Neto from comment #9)
> Why not Fedora 22?

Is it broken in Fedora 22? I don't have any F22 install to test it on. If it is, I can build for it.

[Clodoaldo (clodoaldo-redhat-bugs)]

Yes it is broken in 22. 0.8.2 works when built from source.

[Clodoaldo (clodoaldo-redhat-bugs)]

The new 0.8.2 Fedora 22 package works for me.

[Diederik (didi-debian)]

The best chance of achieving that is making sure that the Debian bug gets fixed and possibly even in Jessie as it then (normally) trickles down into Raspbian.
Normally getting a new version into Jessie is a no-go, but at least 1 person reported it stopped working in Debian Jessie, so there may be a chance (or another solution).

[Diederik (didi-debian)]

Changed the status to Confirmed as several ppl in the upstream bug reported it too.

[Mirzet Kadic (caracal-enl)]

I hope you can add this version to 16.04 or we will have a LTS w/o nethogs....

[Erik Nasaroff (erik-nasaroff)]

Package has been updated in Ubuntu 16.04. It is working now.

[TomaszChmielewski (mangoo-wpkg)]

Interestingly, nethogs 0.8.0 works for me with 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04 running "3.13.0-77-generic #121-Ubuntu" kernel, however, fails to start on Ubuntu 14.04 running "3.13.0-86-generic #130-Ubuntu" kernel (64 bit).

# nethogs eth0
creating socket failed while establishing local IP - are you root?

[Amr Ibrahim (amribrahim1987)]

Please, this needs to be fixed in Trusty 14.04.5 w/ Xenial HWE stack.

[Andy Brody (abrody)]

Hi folks,

This seems like a good candidate for an SRU for Trusty: nethogs is completely broken by this bug because it crashes at startup.

Attached is a debdiff with a no-change backport from Xenial (nethogs 0.8.1-0.3) to Trusty (currently nethogs 0.8.0-1).

I've tested that the backport solves this bug. I tested both kernels available on Trusty: the original linux-image-generic (3.13.0-121) and the linux-image-generic-lts-xenial (4.4.0-83) are both affected by the bug and fixed by the update to nethogs 0.8.1.

You can also find the backported package in my PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~abrody/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=nethogs&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=trusty

I don't really know what I'm doing with the debdiff, so please let me know if I can make corrections. It seems like the UDD import for nethogs has been failing for quite some time: http://package-import.ubuntu.com/status/nethogs.html#2016-02-22 20:07:41.198487

I did test that the debdiff applies cleanly:

$ pull-lp-source nethogs trusty
$ pull-lp-source -d nethogs xenial
$ cd nethogs-0.8.0
$ quilt pop -a
$ patch -p1 < ../trusty-backport.debdiff
$ debuild -S

[Regression potential]

Since the package is already entirely nonfunctional in trusty (as far as I can tell) the regression potential seems low. The updated version also has had a long time to be tested in Xenial, and this same upstream version is available in Debian Jessie backports.

[Pander (pander)]

Is this still an issue for Raspbian? Otherwise, please update the status of this issue.

[Diederik (didi-debian)]

It is for Raspbian Jessie as the Jessie version never got updated, but it is fixed in Stretch.
