Okay that is a good reason why it does not work. As long as dietpi-software list returns an error, no need to check the dashboard.

Here is the relevant code that runs in line 166 of the script. Can you try these manually:

free -m
free -tm
RAM_PHYS=$(free -m | mawk '/^Mem:/{print $2;exit}')
echo `$RAM_PHYS`
RAM_TOTAL=$(free -tm | mawk '/^Total:/{print $2;exit}')
echo `$RAM_TOTAL`
RAM_SWAP=$(( $RAM_TOTAL - $RAM_PHYS ))
echo `$RAM_SWAP`
