This happens if the executable is launched in the other folder than it's location (because program doesn't find then "flot" folder). To workaround, start program in the same folder where the GranityLinux file is. I.e. in command prompt run ./GranityLinux. The fix for this is coming after V1.9.1. | This happens if the executable is launched in the other folder than it's location (because program doesn't find then "flot" folder).
