Solved neofetch --w3m

[Cath O'Deray]

… sysutils/neofetch. The logo is set with the --w3m option (requires www/w3m-img), otherwise you get the common ascii logo. …

An extract from the shot produced by twllnbrck:



Why do I not get a comparably good logo?

% pkg info -x w3m
w3m-img-0.5.3.20211026_1
% neofetch --w3m auto

neofetch(1)

This is what I get:

neofetch invoked in xterm with

neofetch --w3m --source beastie.jpg

www/w3m-img, version number is the same as above. It does not work properly in x11/xfce4-terminal, however.

Hi grahamperrin . I have not used sysutils/neofetch for a long time. But as long as I can remember I used the --source path/to/image.png option with a logo from an icon set which I forgot.

Thanks, solved.

It doesn't work on my system.

Does the file exist?

 

[fernandel]

yes

I think graphics presentation is an issue with all vte based terminals.
After some digging I found a link to the current implementation tracker:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/253

 

[Cath O'Deray]

Styrsven thanks for that. I forgot that not all apps are capable.

neofetch --w3m --source /usr/src/stand/images/freebsd-logo-rev.png works for me with Konsole; not with QTerminal, and so on.

fernandel if that's not the explanation, then:

pkg info -x w3m

 

[fernandel]

$ pkg info -x w3m
w3m-img-0.5.3.20211026_1

 

[Cath O'Deray]

fernandel does it work for you now, with a different application?

Here, with xterm:

 

[fernandel]

No, it doesn't work with xterm either and I tried "neofetch --caca.....the same.

 

[twllnbrck]

fernandel maybe it is up to your terminal emulator. I built x11/xterm with ReGIS and sixel support. I can not say much about x11/rxvt-unicode.

I am using packages and x11/xtermhas ReGIS off and rxvt-unicode doesn't have those options. Thank you for help.
