Seems to have also been raised on https://askubuntu.com/questions/1303118/error-file-etc-sensors3-conf-permission-denied-when-running-htop

That's just a warning message caused by missing permissions due to snap confinement. As a result, optional CPU temperature stats are unavailable (N/A is shown to the right of each CPU bar, if enabled).

Suggestions:
* adjust program to read necessary files from $SNAP, $SNAP_DATA, $SNAP_COMMON, $SNAP_USER_DATA or $SNAP_USER_COMMON
* adjust snap to use snap layouts (https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/snap-layouts/7207)
* add 'hardware-observe' to 'plugs'

Just updated the snap on edge with support for manually connecting the hardware-observe interface, which fixes it (and also adds support for battery stats, btw).

$ sudo snap connect htop:hardware-observe

~Will update~ Updated candidate and stable already as well ~shortly after~. Thanks!

Fyi, the we've been granted autoconnection of the hardware-observe interface.

ameinild commented 3 years ago

Could you please update the snap store page with this information about the hardware-observe interface? So that a new user can see that this connection might be necessary?

Done! Good idea, thanks.

I was still getting that error Error: File /etc/sensors3.conf: Permission denied until I ran the following

sudo snap connect htop:system-observe
