Zsh Segmentation Fault

Issues & Assistance
1

I tried setting up zsh to work and look like fish since I already had some aliases and scripts that worked better with zsh. I used part of the provided .zshrc from garuda, but I saw that paleofetch was missing, so I added

# Run paleofetch if session is interactive
if [[ -o interactive ]] then
   paleofetch
fi

Most of the time this works perfectly, but the first time I launch the terminal after a login paleofetch fails and I get zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) paleofetch. If I launch another terminal session this doesn't happen, but the first one always gets a segmentation fault. I really don't know what is causing this, since it only happens once per login.

Just use

paleofetch

Unfortunately even without the if condition, paleofetch crashes zsh. The output is this

zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  paleofetch

I don't know if it's my terminal's problem ( i am using tilix ) or a shell problem

Work all fine

Segmentation fault" means that you tried to access memory that you do not have access to.

I think that it has to do with launching it from a gnome shortcut. For some reason if I launch it from albert launcher or from the apps list even after login there is no problem. But if I launch first thing after login with CTRL+ALT+T it goes seg fault

After some testing the error occurs not only in tilix but even in other terminals if I launch them the first time using a gnome keyboard shortcut. I tried setting a shortcut for gnome-terminal and launching it after login and the segmentation fault occurs. I really can't think of a reason for this kind of behaviour
