[SOLVED] Screenfetch won't show # of packages installed?

topdollar · 2016-07-01 21:59:45

No matter what I do, when I do screenfetch, it won't show the number of packages installed! Works perfect in Arch but I can't see what I am missing! Any help would be appreciated!

Thx!

Which version of screenfetch are you using?

What is the actual terminal output when you run the command?

What is the output of:

dpkg -l | grep -c ^i

topdollar@odin:~$ dpkg -l | grep -c ^i
1330

Ooops, sorry. The actual command used by the script appears to be:

dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall$ | wc -l

Or:

dpkg --get-selections | wc -l

Depending on which version you are using.

Do they produce an output?

I think my command is better

Is this the BunsenLabs version of screenfetch?

Thx! HoaS!

topdollar@odin:~$ dpkg --get-selections | wc -l
1366

And it is our version of screenfetch!

There's the problem -- it doesn't recognise your system as BunsenLabs so it doesn't know how to count the packages.

What is the output of:

apt-cache policy bunsen-os-release

topdollar · 2016-07-01 23:58:05

topdollar@odin:~$ apt-cache policy bunsen-os-release
bunsen-os-release:

How about:

cat /etc/os-release

Are you sure?

I cannot reproduce this in my BL system:

empty@TheLab ~ % apt-cache policy screenfetch
screenfetch:
  Installed: 1:3.7.0~bl3+5b09eac-1
  Candidate: 1:3.7.0~bl3+5b09eac-1
  Version table:
 *** 1:3.7.0~bl3+5b09eac-1 0
        100 http://pkg.bunsenlabs.org/debian/ jessie-backports/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     3.6.5-1 0
        500 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages

That error does occur with the Debian jessie version.

Install the screenfetch package from the BL jessie-backports repository. Instructions on setting the repo up are on pkg.bunsenlabs.org. The screenfetch currently in jessie doesn't have BL support since that was merged by upstream only a month or two ago.

if ill run the bl labs script is this done automaticly ? just a beginner with linux having the same problem as above , if not is it possible to make it like this for simple people like me :-).

There is an option in the welcome script to add the BunsenLabs jessie-backports repository to your system, I think.

Once the repository is added, the package can be installed with:

sudo apt-get install -t jessie-backports screenfetch

Full instructions here:
https://pkg.bunsenlabs.org/#jessie-backports

There is, but at the moment it's only invoked if the user wants to upgrade xfce4-power-manager. I think it should be added as an option anyway, like Debian backports.

thank you

@HoaS

@nobody
