for some reason i get the following message :
Code:
top: failed to read 'loadavg'

(top worked correctly first)
browsing the web didn't help me to fix it, i just found out that it refers to proc/loadavg
how to remedy to this problem?

In a terminal, type:
Code:
cat /proc/loadavg
and see if any load info is displayed.

You didn't happen to, uh ... change anything in your installation recently, did you? If so, please advise.

Okay ... /etc/loadavg at least exists! That's a start. Now at the command line, type: uptime to see if the load averages are listed in the response.

Thanks Ziebert - which leads me to query Botanic, what version of Puppy are you using?

its a language problem.

run top from such a script if you get that loadavg error:

/usr/local/bin/mytop

Code:
#!/bin/bash

export LANG=C
top

Hello everybody:

Sorry for any errors language (I speak Spanish)

In 2.17.1 puppy to initiate "top" window opens and closes quickly.

Writing in console:

# Export LANG = C
# Top

Presents all data on the console.

How do you boot from the menu?

"mytop" does not exist.

Thanks.

Thor
