Why is gitstatus running on my system even though it’s not installed, why is it preventing me from deleting folders that contain git repositories, and, most important, how do I get rid of it?
pacman doesn’t even find any gitstatus packages, but the “Add/Remove Software” thingy shows some AUR pieces that are all not installed.
“git status” still works after killing the gitstatus process, so it’s a workaround to being able to remove folders with git repositories, but I’d like a more permanent solution.
What even is a powerlevel theme -.-
And why does a “theme” run background processes that prevent me from doing stuff?
Is is possible to just disable gitstatus or do I have to remove the whole theme? Is that even possible? What else will break if I remove the whole theme?
It is part of powerlevel10k (and ist is installed as a depency)
This theme is part of the design of your terminal / shell
A theme may need to run background processes to be able to show elapsed time / hourglass-symbols or similar things (in 5h uptime it did cost me < 1min process time )
What makes a NTFS partition “weird” and how would one un-weird it?
Tried that, I didn’t see anything about gitstatus, though.
Thanks for your suggestions! I will have a look at the github page.
I wonder what that entails. Time to find out, I guess. Thanks for your suggestion!
Not my understanding of the word “theme” but if that’s how it is, then fiiiine.
Thanks for your post, it was very insightful.
Well, maybe, I don’t know the ins and outs of Manjaro (yet), and that specific issue seems to be the result of some dozens of packages stacked on top of each other so it might take a while for me to find out.
NTFS is a proprietary filesystem that usually doesnt do permissions in the same way *nix does.
(It can be made to do so, but that breaks other things … it becomes a cyclical scenario of ‘why ntfs?’)
Then rethink ‘theme’ … at least for the context of your terminal prompt.
In that context ‘theme’ is more accurately described as a collection of functions that run at the beginning of every terminal session. This could be anything from reporting time or current location to … well, what you see here.
And no … you dont have to use it. I personally find zsh and all the extra stuff … too extra.
Bash with PS1 reporting username@host and current working directory ftw
It’s not since you don’t have Roman’s separate gitstatus project installed. gitstatusd as your output shows. What it is has already been explained. Topic title edited.
