No bars in terminal emulator

[LuxLucian]

Running cava in a terminal (alacritty, xterm, urxvt) shows no bars. The background can be changed, and running it in a TTY shows the bars. I did try the noncurses and raw modes, and I am on Arch.

I forgot to mention I am using the pulseaudio monitor.

can this be the same as #109 and #121?

I thought I fixed that...

try setting your locale as described in those issues.

I run the command with no errors prior, but I will try it again. Do you think running cava on Wayland might have any effect?

that's strange, that bug should have been fixed in d4848c3

@LuxLucian can I ask you what version are you on? cava -v

i have the same issue, but this didn't do anything.
cava -v output is 0.7.3 if so

[apprehensions]

ah nevermind, my locale.conf is configured wrong
make sure you adjust your locale.conf to your liking

LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

hi @ThreshMain,

out of curiosity, what is the output of the command locale in your terminal?

I am just trying to recreate this issue.

I also have this issue, and LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 cava fixed it. Maybe I'm suffering from the same problem? Here's the output of locale:

LANG=C
LC_CTYPE=
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=

Yep, it was my /etc/locale.conf that didn't exist. I can confirm that it's a locale problem.

I'll just leave this open until I have a fix or proper description in readme

@LuxLucian so much thank you, you solved my problem :D

LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 cava did not help me. I had the /etc/locale.conf file. I had to regenerate the locale and set /etc/environment to

LANG=en_US.utf-8
LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8
