Powerline not working in konsole

[Mmshukla21]

i just configured manjaro’s default konsole theme to breeze dark and now powerline seems to be not working!?

[Mmshukla21]

looks like i mistakenly changed this shell from bash to zsh, don’t know what happened when i changed the global theme, auto completion in konsole is also not working, please help!!! im confused, don’t know what to do, please get powerline working for me

Hi @Mmshukla21,

What happens when you start zsh manually from the terminal?

zsh

[Mmshukla21]

it works but when i try to restart konsole again the next time it goes back to the same bash shell again with the breath theme

[Mirdarthos]

That is what I expected, yes. Now:

1. Open Konsole.
2. Go to Settings → Configure Konsole at the bottom there.
3. Click on Profiles.

And tell me if you created a custom profile or not?

Hi,

Type this:

sudo chsh -s /bin/zsh your_user_name

Then log out and log back in, it will switch your default shell from bash to zsh

[rcht]

This is equivalent to

chsh -s /bin/zsh

as a non-root user. No root user needed.

Cool, didn’t know about that

[Mmshukla21]

i haven’t created any custom profile

[Mmshukla21]

thanks it worked

[Mirdarthos]

Cool.

Now, to change it, run the command @rcht gave, in the terminal:

chsh -s /bin/zsh

And log out and back in, or just reboot after. Should, theoretically work.

yes it worked thnx @oguere he was right, it was just a single command!!!
