Python environment

$ python3 -m pip freeze | python3 -c 'import sys; print(sys.version, sys.platform); print("".join(filter(lambda s: any(word in s.lower() for word in ("nvi", "cuda", "nvml", "gpu")), sys.stdin)))'
3.10.8 (main, Oct 11 2022, 11:35:05) [GCC 11.2.0] linux
nvidia-ml-py==11.515.75
nvitop==0.11.0

Problem description

The XWayland process in WSLg uses the NVIDIA GPU in the WSL instance. However, WSL does not expose the process in the /proc directory. So the psutil fails to gather process information by reading the files under /proc/23.

Steps to Reproduce

Command lines:

$ wsl.exe --shutdown
$ wsl.exe --update
$ wsl.exe
user@WSL $ nvitop

Traceback

No response

Screenshot:

Expected behavior

Show the process information rather than N/A and No Such Process.

Additional context

I have raised an issue in microsoft/wslg#919.

[pomeloyou]

I have the same problem, do you resolve it ？

@pomeloyou Seems that you are using docker containers rather than WSLg. You need to pass --pid=host when running the container.

docker run --pid=host ...
