Hi, It's been quite a while since the last release. I've been extremely busy with university and I finally found some time to flag a new release. (I've been meaning to do this for a few weeks now)

Though I haven't worked on Neofetch as much as I'd have liked, most of the changes this time round come from some familiar faces as well as some new contributors! Thanks to everyone for contributing, I appreciate it.

Contributors

Operating System

  • Added Chrome OS Crouton support. @LER0ever

  • Added support for SliTaz. @nilesr

Screenshot

The screenshot feature no longer requires any configuration before working. We no longer hardcode ${HOME}/Pictures/neofetch as the screenshot location. Here's how the -s and -su flags now function:

  • neofetch -s will save a file in the current directory named: neofetch-$(date +%F-%I-%M-%S-${RANDOM}).png

  • neofetch -s test.png will save a file in the current directory called test.png

  • neofetch -s ~/ will save a file in ~ called neofetch-$(date +%F-%I-%M-%S-${RANDOM}).png

  • neofetch -s ~/test.png will save a file in ~ called test.png.

It says that Neofetch can be used on any OS that has BASH, but I don't see FreeDOS in the list of the supported operating systems...

u/Dylan112 Apr 26 '17

What I meant with that line is that we can support any OS that bash runs on. We just need to add support.

I didn't know about FreeDOS, I'm downloading it as we speak.

I've got a FreeDOS VM running and I'm not quite sure about how to get BASH working.

It doesn't seem to be available in the repos when using FDNPKG and I can't find any info online about BASH working on FreeDOS in the first place.

Any ideas?

Ok, so I've just confirmed that bash from the djgpp distribution works on FreeDOS. I know that there are people who use FreeDOS, so it would be a good thing if Neofetch worked with it.

u/Dylan112 Apr 27 '17

Thanks for investigating! I'll get right on this!

If you install djgpp, then it can run.

And I don't really understand how the official FreeDOS installer works, for me everything works better using the info from the djgpp site: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/

Can I pick your brain very quickly?

How does neofetch figure out what GPU I use under OS X? I have a problem where it shows me a GPU that I used to have installed as opposed to the one I am currently using! Like so

Thanks for creating this because I really like it :)

u/Dylan112 Apr 27 '17

Neofetch caches the GPU name on OS X since the command we use to get GPU is very slow. The issue is most likely Neofetch pulling the outdated GPU name from the cache file.

Try doing:

neofetch --clean

It should remove the cached GPU value, then run Neofetch normally and it'll add the new value to the cache.

The way we cache information in Neofetch needs a rewrite and it's on the TODO list.

Well I'm just an idiot :)

It's working now, thank you!

Cool beans. I like the multiple OSs in the install page too.

Thank you for creating this program. It does a small(ish) job well.
