So you must post to znver2 kernel dev’s or use another kernel.

i use xanmod Kernel there evrything is fine so not a problem for me :wink: .. i Have only think maybe its a bug from paleofetch bec manualy start is no problem .. only not show direct when open terminal

Ah, seems paleofetch is not as quick as everybody think :wink:

Maybe place

## Run paleofetch if session is interactive
if status --is-interactive
   paleofetch
end

at the start from config.fish ?

i still have zsh … i try to add on .zshrc for test but it gives me error .
/home/smoky/.zshrc:7: parse error near end’`

# Enable Powerlevel10k instant prompt. Should stay close to the top of ~/.zshrc.
# Initialization code that may require console input (password prompts, [y/n]
# confirmations, etc.) must go above this block; everything else may go below.
## Run paleofetch if session is interactive
if status --is-interactive
   paleofetch
end
if [[ -r "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh" ]]; then
  source "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh"
fi

# If you come from bash you might have to change your $PATH.
# export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH

Maybe there is a BOM(B) @SGS :laughing:

There was one indeed but this has been fixed yesterday. Try taking the zshrc from /etc/skel after updating

Try this

paleofetch --recache

Actually there is a desktop item which does this on logon, not sure if @smoky has it already though

Is away but

/home/sgs/.zshrc:282: parse error near `end'

is up. I try since yesterday to find why, if without fi, maybe end is ok but not in zsh?
I’m not a programmer :smiley:

grep -c  '[^[:print:]]' /home/sgs/.zshrc
