None of the indicators are working except for processes: 🤕

What filesystem(s) are you using?

Other (please specify in the Additional Information area at the end)"

What version of bottom are you running?

bottom 0.10.2

How did you install bottom?

In Termux with:

cargo install --no-default-features starship
cargo install --no-default-features bottom

Describe the issue

btm is executing, but most of the indicators are flatlining/dead and show no activity except for the enumerated processes. Is this functionality sacrificed through the switches/flags used in the installation?

What is the expected behaviour?

I am trying to find a visually pleasing and modern process monitor implementation for my Termux host environment of my unrooted Android device, but am having much difficulty. I just want the process monitor to work!

What is the actual behaviour?

All the indicators, except for processes proper, are static and not indicating anything.

How can we reproduce this?

1. pkg upd && pkg upg
2. cargo install --no-default-features starship
3. cargo install --no-default-features bottom
4. btm --version
5. btm --help
6. btm

Additional information

I determined the filesystem of f2fs with:

❯ stat -f .

Hmm... I remember it working (paritally) on a non-rooted device last I tried. I can check again later though.
