for some reason i get the following message :
(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:
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.

Code: Select all
# cat /proc/loadavg
0.14 0.16 0.10 2/45 2173
no i didn't change anything in the installation... and i never go messing around with /proc and /dev

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.

I had the same problem until I installed Puppy 3.00

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

thanks alienjeff for your answers
i use Puppy 2.16.1, and 'uptime' does show the load average
Code: Select all
# uptime
21:03:16 up 16 min, load average: 0.33, 0.36, 0.25

surprise! 'top' is working again
some other weird things seem to happen with my Puppy, but always of minor importance.

its a language problem.
run top from such a script if you get that loadavg error:
/usr/local/bin/mytop

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
