<p>It's possible that your graphs won't look great out of the box due to the reliance on braille fonts.</p>
<p>One example of this is seeing a bunch of missing font characters, caused when the terminal isn't
configured properly to render braille fonts.</p>
<figure>
<img src="../assets/screenshots/troubleshooting/no_braille.webp"
alt="Example of a terminal with no braille font." />
<figcaption>Powershell shown missing braille fonts</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>Another example is when braille is rendered as a block of dots, with the non-coloured dots also
appearing. This may look strange for some users, and it is also caused by misconfiguration or missing
fonts.</p>
<figure>
<img src="../assets/screenshots/troubleshooting/weird_braille.webp"
alt="Example of a terminal with the wrong braille font." />
<figcaption>Braille fonts rendering as a block of dots</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>In either case, you may need to install a specific font and configure your terminal to use it. For
example, installing <a href="https://yudit.org/download/fonts/UBraille/">UBraille</a>
and ensuring your terminal uses it should work.</p>
<p>Another alternative is to use the <code>--dot_marker</code> option to render graph charts using dots
instead of the braille characters, which generally seems better supported out of the box,
at the expense of looking less intricate:</p>
<figure>
<img src="../assets/screenshots/troubleshooting/dots.webp"
alt="Example of running bottom with the dot marker flag" />

href="#why-cant-i-see-all-my-processesprocess-usage-on-macos">Why can't I see all my processes/process
usage on macOS?</a></h2>
<p>You may have to run the program with elevated privileges - for example:</p>
<div class="highlight">
<pre><span></span><code>sudo btm
</code></pre>
</div>
<p><em>Please note that you should be certain that you trust any software you grant root privileges.</em>
</p>
<p>There are measures taken to try to maximize the amount of information obtained without elevated
privileges, but there may still be some limitations.</p>
<h2 id="my-configuration-file-isnt-working"><a class="toclink" href="#my-configuration-file-isnt-working">My
configuration file isn't working</a></h2>
<p>If your configuration files aren't working, here are a few things to try:</p>
<h3 id="check-the-formatting"><a class="toclink" href="#check-the-formatting">Check the formatting</a></h3>
<p>It may be handy to refer to the automatically generated config files or the <a
href="https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom/tree/master/sample_configs">sample configuration files</a>.
The config files also follow the <a href="https://toml.io/en/">TOML</a> format.</p>
<p>Also make sure your config options are under the right table - for example, to set your temperature type,
you must set it under the <code>[flags]</code> table:</p>
<div class="highlight">
<pre><span></span><code><span class="k">[flags]</span>
<span class="n">temperature_type</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">&quot;f&quot;</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Meanwhile, if you want to set a custom color scheme, it would be under the <code>[colors]</code> table:
</p>
<div class="highlight">
<pre><span></span><code><span class="k">[colors]</span>
<span class="n">table_header_color</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">&quot;LightBlue&quot;</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<h3 id="check-the-configuration-file-location"><a class="toclink"
href="#check-the-configuration-file-location">Check the configuration file location</a></h3>
<p>Make sure bottom is reading the right configuration file. By default, bottom looks for config files at
these locations:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>OS</th>
<th>Default Config Location</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>macOS</td>
<td><code>$HOME/Library/Application Support/bottom/bottom.toml</code><br />
<code>~/.config/bottom/bottom.toml</code> <br /> <code>$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bottom/bottom.toml</code>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Linux</td>
<td><code>~/.config/bottom/bottom.toml</code> <br /> <code>$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bottom/bottom.toml</code>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Windows</td>
<td><code>C:\Users\&lt;USER&gt;\AppData\Roaming\bottom\bottom.toml</code></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>If you want to use a config file in another location, use the <code>--config</code> or <code>-C</code>
flags along with the path to the configuration file, like so:</p>
<div class="highlight">
<pre><span></span><code>btm -C path_to_config
</code></pre>
</div>
<h2 id="my-installation-through-snap-has-some-widgets-that-are-blankshow-no-data"><a class="toclink"
href="#my-installation-through-snap-has-some-widgets-that-are-blankshow-no-data">My installation through
snap has some widgets that are blank/show no data</a></h2>
<p>Make sure bottom is given the correct permissions. <a
href="https://snapcraft.io/docs/interface-management">Snapcraft</a> explains how to do so.</p>
