Description

For a bug: Describe the bug and list the steps you used when the issue occurred.

After installing Glances in Windows 10 WSL Kali Linux I receive this error message.
It looks like I possibly need the Docker package?
As well as several plug-ins?

Hi @johnsparkmytech

The problem did not came from the missing Docker lib.

It is a PsUtil error. PsUtil try to read the /etc/mtab, but did not succes.
For the moment, PsUtil is not compatible with Windows WSL.

Follow this feature request: giampaolo/psutil#1251
