Sudden Terminal issue: error: unexpected argument '--shlvl' found

Issues & Assistance
1

After today’s usual updates and reboot, my Garuda Linux show the following promt in all bash terminals:

error: unexpected argument '--shlvl' found

Usage: starship prompt <--status <STATUS_CODE>|--pipestatus <PIPESTATUS>|--terminal-width <TERMINAL_WIDTH>|--path <PATH>|--logical-path <LOGICAL_PATH>|--cmd-duration <CMD_DURATION>|--keymap <KEYMAP>|--jobs <JOBS>>

For more information, try '--help'.

NOTE:
    passed arguments: ["prompt", "--terminal-width=88", "--status=0", "--pipestatus=0", "--jobs=0", "--shlvl=1", "--cmd-duration=32"]

I have Garuda XFCE and this prompt happens both in the default terminal and Alacritty.

I think I have to modify some starship file but not sure which one. Almost every bash command redirect to this prompt. Luckily the xonsh (python command line) command still works and I can use it almost normally.
Any suggestions to help me solve this issue? Haven’t found anything similar in Google yet.
Thanks

Well starship --help just redirects to the same error prompt while in Bash, so I can only see it using xonsh.
May I ask what do you mean by “add garuda-inxi”??

From Template you delete on first post

  • After rebooting, post the FULL output of garuda-inxi in the body of the post (not linked externally, or collapsed with the “hide details” feature)
  • Format terminal output (including your garuda-inxi) as a code block by clicking the preformatted text button (</>) , or put three tildes (~) above and below the text
5

Ok I will post the output of garuda-inxi.
Is there a way to “obscure” my username in the starship bug report before forwarding it to Github?

You can use garuda-assistant

Where do you see your username?
In my log/bug-report I do not see my name.

Enter `y` to accept, or anything else to decline, and `Enter key` to confirm your choice:

I see my username in the starship bug-report if generated directly from bash, in which I have installed and configured in-house Perl libraries and paths as well as tools like SDKMAN for my daily work, as they all run through bash. If I run starship bug-report from fish or xonsh it shows neither my username nor my custom libraries.

If you do not post garuda-inxi, I close the thread.

Use what not display your private things!
Did you read the issue ?

It’s a known problem, follow the guide.
Please answer all questions, we are not Clairvoyants

I have already inserted the output of the garuda-inxi at the beginning as you requested. You may have missed it.
I don’t understand what “issue” you are referring in “Did you read the issue?”
I explain again:

  • When running starship bug-info from bash, it shows my private things and I cannot find a way to remove them, as I don’t want them to be visible on Github
  • When running starship bug-info from any other non-bash terminal, it doesn’t show any of the private things, but I don’t know if it shows the exact settings as the bash output appart from my private configurations
    So which one should I forward to Github, if that is still an option?
    Yes I am looking at the thread mentioning the SHLVL issue.
    I am also trying to answer all your questions, but seems we are not … mmm…synchronized.
11

I use in all DE’s, KDE, Hyprland and i3wm, the xfce4terminal, without problems.
If the GitHub link did not help, IDK where your problem is, sorry.

Mmm ok, I was afraid you should say something like that. Can I ask that you don’t close this thread yet? I will try this week with fresh installations of Garuda at my home, to see if the same happens or it is just here at my work computer. Thanks anyway

Just test it in a VM, that saves you a new installation on bare metal :wink:
