Oops, great catch! Turned out that we were generally failing to pick
up non-outbound connections at all due to a bug in Stem. Fixed...

... and filed a ticket to clarify this in the spec...

> Otherwise I'm finding nyx to be a very good experience so far! Thanks again!

Thanks, glad you like it!

On reflection this message is coming from Stem when it is both unable
to connect and can't find a 'tor' process running...

https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/tree/stem/connection.py#n184

Per chance is your process running under a different name? There might
also be an issue in the helper function that's attempting to determine
this...

https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/tree/stem/util/system.py#n399

Is 'tor' listed when you run "ps -ao ucomm="?
