I am on Linux Mint 18.1. Reinstalling neofetch did not help. Previously I had no problem. (I am unsure what has changed on my system in the meantime.)

I need some more info before I'll be able to help:

• Do you have a .fehbg file in your home directory?
  • If so, delete it and see if this fixes the issue.
• The two pastebin links aren't neofetch logs, they're config files.
  • The log file is different, it looks like this: http://pastebin.com/gxhFhBvw

Thank you for the response. I do not seem to have that .fehbg file anywhere on my system. Sorry about providing the wrong log file(s). The correct one should now be here: http://pastebin.com/fLFPZj05

All good!

This is the command Neofetch is running to get your current wallpaper:

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri

# Output from neofetch
/home/nicholas/Firefox_wallpaper.png

Cinnamon might have it's own gsettings command for getting the wallpaper, I'll do some investigation.

Does this command print out the right image?

 gsettings get org.cinnamon.desktop.background picture-uri

The output of that command is as follows (and the quotation marks are in the original). 'file:///home/nicholas/Desktop/Pictures/wallpapers/Misc%20backgrounds/Black,%20grey/68554494-black-abstract-wallpapers.jpg' and that does seem to be the right file. (Unfortunately I have some rather similar images with similar names. I could give the files names that are more intuitive.) Still, I should be seeing not a wallpaper but a distribution logo, no? That's what I use to see, and what I am used to seeing in people's screenshots.

If image mode is available (w3m-img / imagemagick are installed) then Neofetch will use it by default. You can launch Neofetch with --ascii or edit your config file and change image="wall" to image="ascii" to get the ascii art logos.

I've also fixed the incorrect wallpaper issue and it'll be available next release or if you can't wait you can install the git version.

If you need anymore help let me know.

Aha. The ascii mode works when called with the command line option and, now that I've changed the config file in the manner you suggested, as the default. Since I don't think I want the image mode, I'm happy. Also, I am pleased that you fixed the problem with the code. (Does that include changing the position within the terminal of the fragment of wallpaper? You can see from the screenshot I supplied that the image overlaps the window border.) What puzzles me is that somehow my instance of Neofetch went from displaying ascii to displaying wallpaper without my having done anything - not so far as I recall, anyway. Thank you for the helpful and extremely speed response.

Ah: perhaps I installed one of the dependencies for the image mode, thereby enabling it . .

[dylanaraps]

The program we're using to draw images w3m-img uses a hack to display the images. It just finds the top left corner of the window and plops it there. Neofetch has a couple of config options that alow you to manually fix the issue but no automatic detection of menu bars or etc can be done.

You can use the launch flags --xoffset px or --yoffset px to change the left and top margins of the image. There are also config options called xoffset and yoffset which let you save the values. Here's an example command you can try: neofetch --yoffset 25

You'll have to keep messing around with the values until the image isn't covering the ui. :)

Image mode was probably enabled when you installed either w3m or imagemagick. Neofetch at first didn't support ascii logos so this is why it's default.

I hope this helps. :)

The bug - the wrong background showing, and it is misprinted - is alive in Neofetch 3.0.1.2.

I have the problem only when I assume super-user privileges in the terminal. As before, gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri names the wrong wallpaper and gsettings get org.cinnamon.desktop.background picture-uri gives the right one.

I've been messing with my .bashrc files (specifically, a /etc/bash.bashrc file is now the master one); perhaps that is the (proximate?) cause of the problem.
