Insuficient columns avaible in Garuda-Rani

Hi, when I update my system with garuda-rani, I always get the following warning:

searching for conflicting packages...

> Warning: nsufficient columns available for table display

And I can’t see the version of the old package or the version of the update.

I’ve looked at these threads:

but I can’t find anyone else with the same problem, so I’ve put it aside, because I guess there’s something wrong with my configuration.
This doesn’t happen if I use garuda-update in the terminal.

You have to make the window bigger both wide and vertical. thats all it is. nothing is broken.

I see. I’ll give it a try.

I’m sorry, but I still can’t figure out how to do what you’re telling me.

I created the .config/org.garudalinux.rani/ directory and the .window-state.json file and added the content, as explained in this thread.

(Garuda Rani window size)

But I’m still getting the same result. I’m pretty clumsy, but if someone shows me the way, I’ll find the answer.

The terminal window has to be bigger so you can maximize the window or drag from the edge.
Once you get a size that works for you you can set it in plasma settings - window management - then window rules. Just use the detect window feature and click on rani.
Or if you wish to see that data more simply open konsole or you terminal of choice drag it so its bigger then run garuda-update -a

Note window has to be bigger before you run the update.

Both versions of Rani now remember window size, so just make it bigger and it should stay that size next time you open it.

Also note this is just a warning about the way the information is displayed, and there is no harm in proceeding with the update on a smaller window.

Hello again, I’ve been testing the configuration as you suggested for three days, because every time I updated and it didn’t display correctly, I had to modify the configuration and wait for other packages to update, but I still haven’t managed to fix it. Well, instead of opening Garuda-Rani in a window, it opens in full screen every time I open it. That’s the only thing I’ve managed to achieve, and that’s fine.

Even if I manually drag the console inside Garuda-Rani to the maximum size it allows, I still get the warning:

Anyway, I use garuda-update in konsole (actually garuda-update -a) because I use several AUR packages and, as I said at the beginning, I don’t get any warnings there and it looks fine. I just would have liked to do it through Garuda-Rani and try it out. Thank you for taking the trouble to help me. Thank you very much.

P.S. I apologise for so many screenshots, but it was to show how it actually looked.

looks like rani has the terminal size locked which i guess makes sense in terms of compatibility. Maybe @dr460nf1r3 has some more incite here.

Could it be because my system is a Dragonized one, and not a Mokka or one of the newer versions that would already have it configured/adjusted with the rest of the system?

I guess I must have something it doesn’t like when it updated from Garuda-Welcome to Garuda-Rani :face_with_hand_over_mouth: I know, I know, one doesn’t replace the other, I have both, just kidding :sweat_smile:

That sounds really weird. It should keep the size you resized it too after closing it in a normal way.

As for terminal size, I’m assuming it gets set upon startup somehow, I can try adjusting it.

I just re-read what I wrote, and I think the translator made me a bad trick, I meant that instead of opening in a normal window, it opens in a window that occupies the entire screen, not that they were a window without borders to the full, I do not know if I understand.

I’m sorry if I led to confusion. :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:

I think this should be resolved via this commit, had full columns after applying it, if it doesn’t work for you in a new version that is will be published at a later date, please notify (or use git version)! Thanks.
