I can confirm the same on Ubuntu.

I can have a look at the code in the evening unless somebody knows immediately what is the problem and has a solution.

marosg42 commented 6 years ago

Here is a working workaround

bash -c "cat /proc/loadavg | cut -d ' ' -f 1"

Is it a regression appears on 1.20 or an enhancement request? On 1.8 for me it fails to work.

@yeawellwhatever did it work before?

No clue really. Pretty new to mate and the last time i used Gnome 2 was years ago.

If it had never worked before i suppose it should fall under enhancement request then? Although quotinh everything in bash -c does work perfectly.
