[ x] bug report

On macos Big Sur version 11.0.1, see screenshot for errors
Previously on Catalina before upgrading, screenfetch used to print a multi colored apple logo ascii art,
print 64bit Mac OS X 10.15, x86_64 Darwin along with correct information about shell, resolution, gpu, ram, uptime etc

[marslo]

solution:

due to the output from /usr/bin/sw_vers was changed as:

$ /usr/bin/sw_vers
ProductName:    macOS
ProductVersion: 11.0.1
BuildVersion:   20B29

So, the issue can be manual fixed by modify Line 1057:

                    if [[ -x /usr/bin/sw_vers ]] && /usr/bin/sw_vers | grep -E '\s*[mM]ac\s*OS\s*X?' >/dev/null; then
                        distro="Mac OS X"

By using grep -E '\s*[mM]ac\s*OS\s*X?' instead of grep -i 'Mac OS X'

to match both Mac OS X or macOS in lower or higher version.

I still have that problem on a M1 Mac. I used the latest source code from Github.

Hello Is there a timeline for the resolution of this issue? Running a macbook pro 2019 and reinstalled using brew. Thanks

I still have that problem on a M1 Mac. I used the latest source code from Github.

I try now and its very easy man, just go this way;

This work for me in M1

$ sudo vim /opt/homebrew/Cellar/screenfetch/3.9.1/bin/screenfetch

This work for me in Intel chip

$ sudo vim /usr/local/Cellar/screenfetch/3.9.1/bin/screenfetch

Just diff installation directory of homebrew packages

Then go to the line 1057: like @marslo told and replace the line

if [[ -x /usr/bin/sw_vers ]] && /usr/bin/sw_vers | grep -E '\s*[mM]ac\s*OS\s*X?' >/dev/null; then
                        distro="Mac OS X"

Restart your terminal and done!

Can confirm, fixed it for me as well. Thank you @marslo . Can we cut a new release @KittyKatt ?

[KittyKatt]

Yes, might need to be in a couple of days if that's okay?

[johnpekcan]

Yup yup, we can most certainly handle that 😇 , thank you @KittyKatt !

[cmirza]

Please add this to the next release. Thank you.

If you've installed screenFetch via Homebrew, you can go ahead and get the fix with --HEAD:

brew install --HEAD screenfetch
