Please try iotop-c, since iotop is not maintained upstream and is
incompatible with Python 3.12 so will likely be removed from Debian.

Bug#1054558: iotop: crashes on non-utf8 characters

2023-10-25 Thread Marc Lehmann 
Package: iotop
Version: 0.6-42-ga14256a-0.1+b2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

independent of locale (or the fatc that locales are per-process), if
iotop finds a command line argument that is not utf-8 encoded, it simply
crashes. regardless of how it handles encodings it does not understand, it
should not simply crash:

   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/iotop/data.py", line 311, in get_cmdline
   cmdline = proc_cmdline.read(4096)
 ^^^
 File "", line 322, in decode
   UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 2259: 
invalid continuation byte
