ok, the above command returns: root 3199 0.0 0.2 1692 628 tty1

The above returned: Wrote 0 deleted hosts decls to leases file
Wrote 0 new dynamic host decls to
lease file
Wrote 0 leases to leases file.
No subnet declaration for eth0 (0.0.0.0).

write a subnet declaration in your dhcpcd.conf file for the network
segment to which interface eth0 is attached.**.

The output:

(there were 3 or 4 of the above.
