Fastfetch won't leave .bashrc | i3wm

[Sqooky]

Due to fastfetch for some reason not supporting lolcat when it comes to drawing the logos, I decided to swap back to neofetch because I like the little rainbow. However upon replacing the line fastfetch -l garuda in .bashrc upon restart it had automatically put itself back into the bottom of my config, which yields an annoying result of two fetches. It has continued to do this after multiple reboots and me commenting it out. Any particular reason or does it just work this way.

(however in the meanwhile I have some cool things that while not directly related are fun!)

unrelated fun stuff:

queercat, lolcat but pride flags
cool little rain effect
psensor, pretty good temp monitor

garuda-inxi

I can guarantee the behaviour you are experiencing is not normal. Try to comment out

if [ -x /usr/bin/fastfetch ]; then
fastfetch --load-config siddharth
fi

line in .bashrc and then make it immutable with

sudo chattr +i .bashrc

This will make .bashrc “un-writable” so open opening your bash shell whatever program is rewriting it will most likely throw and error and you can catch it. Once the culprit is found you can handle it however you like and if you wanna make your .bashrc file mutable, i.e. writable again do this

sudo chattr -i .bashrc

To view attributes of a file/dir

lsattr

I believe this is the culprit here: etc/skel/.config/i3/config · master · Garuda Linux 🦅 / Themes and Settings / Settings / Garuda i3 settings · GitLab

[...]
exec --no-startup-id ~/.local/bin/fastfetch-garuda
[...]

Here is ~/.local/bin/fastfetch-garuda: etc/skel/.local/bin/fastfetch-garuda · master · Garuda Linux 🦅 / Themes and Settings / Settings / Garuda i3 settings · GitLab

#!/bin/bash
# - 06.03.2023 - Add fastfetch preset to bash and fish shell.
# Remove 'exec --no-startup-id ~/.local/bin/fastfetch-garuda' in '~/.config/i3/config' to disable this script.

set -e

sed -i 's/--load-config neofetch/--load-config garuda/g' ~/.config/fish/config.fish

grep -qxF 'fastfetch -l garuda' ~/.bashrc || echo 'fastfetch -l garuda' >> ~/.bashrc

It’s that last line that insists on re-adding the Fastfetch config to your .bashrc.

Just comment out or delete the exec --no-startup-id ~/.local/bin/fastfetch-garuda line in ~/.config/i3/config to disable the script and you should be good to go.

[kilo]

I’m a little late to the party here, but fastfetch does work with lolcat. See here.

For example:

fastfetch --logo garuda --pipe false | lolcat

[Sqooky]

you are correct my good sir!

[Sqooky]

@kilo

fastfetch --logo garuda --pipe false | lolcat

oh thank you that’s quite useful!

[SGS]

@kilo

fastfetch --logo garuda --pipe false | lolcat

No garuda-inxi, so

@Sqooky

Desktop: i3

@BluishHumility must check the screenshot.

I move it from Newbies to i3wm

since i only changed it in i3wm, it only affects i3wm

[BluishHumility]

@SGS

@Sqooky

Desktop: i3

@BluishHumility must check the screenshot.

garuda-inxi is there, just hidden with the “hide details” feature.

Summary

I don’t know why people do that with the inxi output!

[SGS]

Hidden inxi must be on top, not on bottom
