Move this line after line where you install it line 36

I said NO do not install and it says installed to me
nice project by the way
love dilbert

when ever i add some file with by custom ASCII art the box get distorted

No matter what I try and add to show the number of packages it always comes up with unknown

. I am using a custom command for customization in my bashrc.
I was wondering if there was a way to add the package count manually to the command in openSUSE?

It should be great to be able to provide directory of random ascii art text files and -r flag could randomly shuffle them

When I run the script on a Debian based OS getting that message before showing me the info box

ls can't access '/var/db/pkg/*/*': The file or directory does not exist

I used fm6000 in several wms exclusively dwm, xmonad, openbox
and everytime it shows de UNKNOWN so i have to use -de flag and specify manually which wm i am currently using.
However I did some research and found that wmctrl can be useful to detect current wm.

sub get_de {
    my $de = $ENV{DESKTOP_SESSION};
    unless ($de) { $de = $ENV{XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP}
}
    unless ($de) { $de = $ENV{XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP}
}
    unless ($de) { $de = `wmctrl -m | grep Name | awk '{print $2}' `}
    unless ($de) { $de = "Unknown" }
    return $de;
}

Here I tried to use it in my noobie way but I unable to get rid of trailing new line it gives at the end.
wmctrl -m | grep Name | awk '{print $2}'
I know implementing wmctrl might add to another dependancy stack but i think its worth it.

I hope you'd find some fix for it.

On running the install script. fm6000 is installed correctly but the script prints out some error.

the error:

sh: line 166: return: can only 'return' from a function or sourced script

When I use fm6000 it shows that the uptime option in it is invalid and when I do an uptime it shows the correct output, but in fm6000 it shows me the local time as my uptime.

I use "xmonad" but it does not show and instead is blank.

In the list of packages using the command, the name of the title for the amount of packages on your system is called "PACKAGE" when it should be "PACKAGES"

It would be cool to have this script be a part of the brew core packages so users can simply

brew install fm6000

and remove the manual process of cloning, making executable, and executing.

I can take a crack at it to try to get it done https://docs.brew.sh/Formula-Cookbook

This spits out following error WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts..
I think the solution might be either to redirect the error to /dev/null or to use dpkg-query which both neofetch and pfetch use.

dpkg-query -f '\n' -W' or dpkg-query -W -f='${binary:Package}\n'

But there was slight difference between apt list --installed | wc -l and dpkg-query -f '\n' -W | wc -l.

I did man apt and found this, but I can't figure out how to get the apt list --installed functionality using apt-get or apt-cache.

The apt(8) commandline is designed as an end-user tool and it
       may change behavior between versions. While it tries not to
       break backward compatibility this is not guaranteed either if
       a change seems beneficial for interactive use.

       All features of apt(8) are available in dedicated APT tools
       like apt-get(8) and apt-cache(8) as well.  apt(8) just
       changes the default value of some options (see apt.conf(5)
       and specifically the Binary scope). So you should prefer
       using these commands (potentially with some additional
       options enabled) in your scripts as they keep backward
       compatibility as much as possible.

I followed every step as it is and when i run it, i am getting an error message sh: line 1: dpkg-query: command not found along with the fm6000 output. i'm also attaching a screenshot of the error.

I get this error

Hi there, love this script but would it be possible to add support for random colours and/or random character e.g. it picks a random ASCII character and random colours each time you run the script when you pass it a "--random" or "-r" flag or something?

I'm getting this error sh: line 1: dpkg-query: command not found and after this line there is the normal output of the script, how can i get rid of this error.

I wonder how you can show "≻⊲⋗". I cannot reproduce that.
I'm using Fira Code Retina font

Had some problems with OpenBSD support (made a fork).
Added following lines to get_uptime seems fixing it...

sub get_uptime { my $seconds; my $now = time(); # macOS if ($os eq "OSX") { my $boot = sysctl -n kern.boottime; ($boot) = $boot =~ /{ sec = (\d+)/; $seconds = $now - $boot; } elsif ($os eq "OpenBSD") { my $boot = sysctl -n kern.boottime; $seconds = $now - $boot;

I edited the file so that my $color='random but would also like to do this for the character displayed.

Could not find how to do this, any idea?

This is what happens when you use Pacman in ubuntu:
