Plugin

Monitor real-time information about your GPU status and running processes with nvtop.

  • Id: tordex/nvtop
  • New plugin
  • Update to an existing plugin (version bumped in plugin.toml)

What it does

This update has some changes:

  1. Added support for shared encode/decoder. In case of shared encoder/decoder nvtop uses the encode_decode field instead of two separate fields encode and decode
  2. The buttons with process actions are shown on click the process row. Supported actions: kill process with SIGINT of SIGKILL, copy PID or command line into the clipboard
  3. Some visual improvements

External dependencies

Additional dependency: kill to be installed and available in $PATH.

Testing

  • Tested on Niri
  • Tested on Hyprland
  • Tested on Sway
  • Tested on another compositor:
  • Noctalia version tested against: 5.0.0_beta9
  • Plugin API level: 24

Checklist

Ready-for-review requirement: Every box in this section must be checked. If any statement is not true, keep the
pull request as Draft. An explanation does not replace a required check.

  • The directory name matches the part of id after the / in plugin.toml exactly.
  • It ships plugin.toml, README.md, thumbnail.webp, and translations/en.json.
  • README.md follows the
    README template, documents
    every entry id and dependency, and includes exact panel IPC commands and launcher prefixes where applicable.
  • I created thumbnail.webp with the thumbnail generator.
  • version follows semver and is bumped in this PR; plugin_api is the oldest API level this plugin requires.
  • Every non-English translation in this PR uses a locale supported by Noctalia core, and I can read, write, and
    understand that language well enough to review and maintain it (no unreviewed machine/LLM translations).
  • I did not edit catalog.toml; CI generates it.
  • This PR touches exactly one plugin directory.

Code review attestation

Plugins run as trusted, unsandboxed Luau in the user's session. Confirm:
Ready-for-review requirement: Every attestation below must be checked.

  • The code is readable and not obfuscated, minified, or generated.
  • It does not download and execute remote code.
  • Every network call, filesystem write, and spawned process is something the description above accounts for.
  • I have the right to publish this code under the license declared in plugin.toml.

Translation should be sorted by keys, as they were after they've been submitted to https://i18n.noctalia.dev
