Glances Web UI shows a blank page on Ubuntu 22.04

Here’s the error:

After upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04, Glances Web UI shows a blank page on any browser.

What is happening and how can you remediate it?

Glances packages for Ubuntu 21.10 and 22.04 are different of course but the filelist for the latter does not include the /glances/outputs/static/public directory at all.
Copying the public directory and its contents from the older package resolves the issue.

1. Get a prior working version, here: glances_3.1.5.orig.tar.gz
   
   

$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/glances/glances_3.1.5.orig.tar.gz
...
..
.

Saving to: ‘glances_3.1.5.orig.tar.gz’

glances_3.1.5.orig.tar.gz         
 100%[==============================================>]   6.49M  4.55MB/s    in 1.4s
...
..
.

2. Extract it

$ tar zxvf glances_3.1.5.orig.tar.gz

3. cd into

$ cd ~/desktop/glances-3.1.5/glances/outputs/static
...
..
.

$ ll

...
..
.

4. Copy cp the public directory to your current glances location.

$ sudo cp -r public /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/glances/outputs/static
