How To Fix diodload: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu diodload is provided by diod package.

diod is:

diod is an I/O forwarding server that implements a variant of the 9P protocol from (9P2000.L) the Plan 9 operating system. When paired with a modern version of the v9fs Linux 9P client, diod allows a file system to be exported over a TCP/IP network in a manner similar to NFS.

The file system that is exported can itself be NFS or a parallel file system like Lustre or GPFS. This can be done with minimal loss of distributed semantics because the v9fs client (when used with appropriate mount options) has no page or directory cache - all I/O operations trigger a network request. The page cache effectively moves to the server system, with diod appearing as a multi-threaded user application accessing the file system in the usual way through the VFS.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install diod

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install diod.

sudo apt -y install diod

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install diod
