-- WARNING -- Error loading Podman deps Lib. Podman feature in the Containers plugin is disabled (No module named 'podman')

[henkiewie]

Hi,

I've installed using the command pip install --user 'glances[web]' and the systemd service as described.

But the service won' start.
The log files says;
-- WARNING -- Error loading Podman deps Lib. Podman feature in the Containers plugin is disabled (No module named 'podman')

command line 'glances -w' starts like normal. Is there a way to solve this?

OS is KDE neon (ubuntu jammy)

It is working as expected on Linux mint (Wilma).

Greetings,
Henk

This log message is unrelated to the server not starting up. Can you check and post systemd logs?

[henkiewie]

Hi,

It is the message in the log when starting. Which by the way is in my homedir? But its not a systemctl --user service.

Just now I moved to the docker (host) version and with restart-unless stopped it always restarts when I reboot.
So thats a good workaround.
When I do `systemctl status glances.service it just gives me this.

So definitly something wrong with the installation. Maybe because I tried the sudo apt version first.
For now I will stick with the docker version. And will give the uninstall script a try.
Thanks for trying to help.

Greetings Henk

Yep, its crashing as its missing dependencies.

You used the install script to setup glances?

[henkiewie]

I did, and when i rerun its says requirement already satisfied on all entries.

[henkiewie]

I just ran uninstall script after cloning the repo. Then ran the curl command and the service is starting again.
