correct me if im wrong but i believe this comes from some part of the bar ( when i comment out the ) the error messages disappear

Do you have swap or zram? i recommend setting up the latter
My guess is that the swap memory indicator threw that when attempting to get the percentage by calculating used/total*100

[loeken]

I have neither, ( also havent heard of zram before ) I would rather like my applications to crash then swap to disk and i have plenty of ram so i dont want to use compression in ram (if i understand zrams purposes correctly )

could we maybe check if total not null and skip calculation to not divide by zero if null?

can you point me at where this calculation is located?

i raised a small pr to fix it in the 2 locations ive found this removes the logspam for me
