@inet-pwnZ Hey,

Thanks for reporting the bug. Can you show the result of show osabi command inside GDB on your system?

(gdb) show osabi
The current OS ABI is "auto" (currently "none").
(gdb)

@inet-pwnZ I have applied a hotfix in https://github.com/pwndbg/pwndbg/pull/469

Can you try after that?

Pulled hotfix
now it's working
