can't run ttop. cannot read from stream

[ITwrx]

I can't run ttop static binary (or when i use nimble build).

I get:

cannot read from stream
streams.nim(426)         read

trying to build from source with nim c -r ttop.nim fails with:

/ttop-1.5.0/src/ttop/tui.nim(530, 13) Error: undeclared identifier: 'getKeyWithTimeout'

I guess due to the illwill situation.

I'm running f39

thanks

@ITwrx

Can you try to do the thing I mentioned here: https://github.com/inv2004/ttop/issues/31#issuecomment-2006302921

I suppose that you have old version in nimble pkgs

Please let me know if it helps

@ITwrx I think I got it

Q1: did you run old version of ttop before? I was trying to save .blog files compatibility, but maybe lost it somewhere.

My suggestion, if it is ok to loose historical data, you can try to delete ~/.cache/ttop/*.blog , maybe /var/log/ttop/*.blog if it was installed from root

deleting the .blog files did the trick. thanks!
