Hi and welcome,

Neofetch is abandoned.
But there are dozens of *fetch tools available in the repos/AUR.

Hi @xhuxj, and welcome!

I’m afraid this is the wrong place to report it.

What’s more, the neofetch github repository has been archived in April:

This repository has been archived by the owner on Apr 26, 2024. It is now read-only.

So I don’t think it’s being actively maintained or developed any more.

However, a great alternative that I’ve switched to is fastfetch. It’s even in the extra repository:

$ pamac search -i fastfetch
[...]
fastfetch  2.31.0-1                                                                                                                                                                                                         extra
A feature-rich and performance oriented neofetch like system information tool

So can be installed with:

pamac install fastfetch

Hope this helps!

Fastfetch is a good one to use. There’s even a tutorial on setting it up so that it shows the Manjaro logo:

[HowTo] Display a Manjaro Logo (Instead of Arch) in Fastfetch

With the recently announced abandonment of Neofetch, many of us are choosing to use an alternative system information display option like Fastfetch. Fastfetch is written in C and is built for customization. For me, it opens almost instantly, whereas Neofetch often lags before displaying. By default, Fastfetch shows several more categories than Neofetch. As of now, Arch-based distributions default to the Arch logo in Fastfetch. I’ve tested this on Manjaro and Endeavor, and I assume it’s …

Tip

When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.

Instead of like this:

Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.

For more information, please see:

@Fabby

On this forum here you need to have Trust Level 1 (=TL1) to be able to post screenshots and links in-line.

That’s dumb! Why is that?

Well, that’s because on our old forum we got tons of screenshots of text, links to SPAM, PR0N and other things you don’t want on a forum, so all the new users are prohibited from posting links and pics because of a few bad actors.

As I’m a moderator on the forum, I have taken the liberty of doing this for you, this time.

Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

There’s even a tutorial on setting it up so that it shows the Manjaro logo:

It shows Manjaro for me without the -l switch.

[xhuxj]

ok thank you!

[Ben]

[xhuxj]

i am gonna use it right now

[scotty65]

@Ben

It shows Manjaro for me without the -l switch.

It looks like fastfetch has since been updated to include the Manjaro logo.

[linux-aarhus]

It could be caused by a custom package which upon installation has rewritten either /etc/os-release or /etc/lsb-release.

If your goal is sharing system information for support issues - please use inxi -Fxxxc0

[xhuxj]

ok thank you

[xhuxj]

Yes I find a lsb_release file, which gives the wrong description of my os. Can I delete it? or keep it there from making my someone app failing to work

[linux-aarhus]

Some applications rely on the information found in lsb-release and os-release to work properly.

One example is the nvidia-driver-assistant package.

I cannot tell what would be the correct action.

@xhuxj

Can I delete it?

Reinstall the package manjaro-release - that should do it.

sudo pacman -Syu manjaro-release

If that doesn’t fix it

sudo pacman -R manjaro-release && sudo pacman -S manjaro-release

'fastfetch` gives me the right answear
