[Pw_forum] All Lowdin charges are zero

Dear Giuseppe,
Thank you for quick reply, but I hardly understand the terms and local moonspeak because I'm  using Quantum Espresso for few days only. 
I understand that some information for projwfc is missed but the topic you mentioned does not give me any clue of what should I do with my input to have it.
Could you please point me to some step-by-step instruction of what should I do to get correct Lowdin charges? I googled for this extensively and the only thing which I've found is the following:
1) do optimization with pw.x
2) do scf with pw.x
3) run projwfc.x

That is what I did without success...

Sincerely,
