Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[Mordillo98]

I'm running archlinux kernel 5.11 (installed from Feb 2021 ISO) without a GUI (no XOrg). It boots directly into terminal.

I'm getting a "Segmentation Fault (core dumped)" at the resolution line when I run fastfetch.

Neofetch will show that line as "Resolution: preferred".

You can reproduce the issue by booting into a newly created VM with the latest archlinux live ISO, and install archlinux with this script. It wipes /dev/sda by default but you can modify that script if needed after cloning it.

pacman -Sw glibc lib32-glibc
Then enable the testing repo in /etc/pacman.conf
pacman -Syy
pacman -S glibc lib32-glibc

pacman -Sy git
git clone https://github.com/Mordillo98/archlinuxinstall
cd archlinuxinstall
chmod +x minimalarchinstall.sh
./minimalarchinstall.sh

reboot. Install your package "yay -S fastfetch-git"

do the fastfetch command. You'll see the problem.

Thx !

Sadly i don't have the time to look into such edge cases yet (This is a very very new project i develop in my free time). But i just did a rewrite of the resolution code, now it just shouldn't output the "Resolution: " line on your system. Can you confirm this? In this case i will close this issue. Otherwise please post the output of "fastfetch --recache --show-errors". Thanks.

I am not a friend of putting default values when an error occurs, so probably your "preferred" will never show in fastfetch. But im planing to implement a feature to overwrite values with own strings (via flag or file) for these cases.

Tested your new code, problem fixed. :) Good job ! This can be uploaded to ArchLinux AUR if it wasn't already done.

This can marked as resolved.

Closing this. Thanks for the report. The AUR always automatically fetches the latest commit.
