[BUG] Inconsistent terminal/shell in debian motd #2048
Description
Read the FAQ first
- I have checked the FAQ but the issue is not covered
Description
Currently I'm using hyfetch but I wanted to try fastfetch. It looks like drop in replacement for former but I can see one issue in fastfetch that bothers me.
I use debian way of updating motd - by adding a simple script to /etc/update-motd.d/00-fastfetch:
#!/bin/bash
fastfetch --pipe false
Executing hyfetch in the same manner provides following data:
Shell: zsh 5.9
Terminal: run-parts
but fastfetch gives different information:
Shell: run-parts
Terminal:
I wonder if this is somehow related to #366 and can be improved? Or maybe it's not a bug at all?
