Neofetch not opening

To do this. wrap the text in triple backtics (```) to get the correct formatting.

Alternatively, select all the test and click thee </> button in the editor toolbar.

That means you are using zsh, and not bash…
if you use bash, you will get :

bash: neofetch: command not found

when i ran echo $SHELL it came up as bash though

While the </> (code) button should work …

A useful thing could be …

cat ~/.bashrc | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

EDIT - ah nevermind you fixed it now @Cryptos70928.
Well, that end pipe above can still be useful in the future :wink:

ok. Just to be sure.
run as below:

$ bash

now you are 100% sure that you are using bash. Then:

$ source ~/.bashrc

of course after adding neofetch at the end of .bashrc

i ran it and neofetch came up

whenever i do bash, neofetch comes up but i have to manually type bash

no… you are using zsh. That’s why
you have to set bash as your default.

use chsh

$ which bash
(example) /usr/bin/bash

$ chsh -s /usr/bin/bash username

/usr/bin/bash, or whatever you get up
username is ur username

to check your current sh, you can type this…

$ grep `whoami` /etc/passwd

the /usr/bin/bash doesnt exist for me

I was an example… type

$ which bash

and if you want to keep using zsh, you could also add neofetch to .zshrc instead of .bashrc

All is up to you

i did which bash it came up as /usr/bin/bash but it says it doesnt exist in etc shells

should i add /usr/bin/bash in /etc/shells ?

let’s see the content of /etc/shells

$ less /etc/shells

there are:

/bin/sh
/bin/bash
/bin/zsh
/usr/bin/zsh
/usr/bin/git–shell

just use /bin/bash

$ chsh -s /bin/bash [username]

you need to logout, and login I think for changes to take effect.
