Bug report Screenfetch(version 3.9.1) -- When DISPLAY has an ip on a WSL2 Unbuntu 20.04 without X then screenfetch just hangs for awhile then prints xdpyinfo: unable to open display "xxxxxxx" -- If I export DISPLAY="" then it works fine.

Maybe try something like this:

x_works(){

If there is no xdpyinfo

 # Bash will return 127
 # If X cant connect, it returns 1
 # If X can connect, it returns 0
 xdpyinfo 1>/dev/null 2>&1
 WORKS="$?"
 return $WORKS

}

if x_works; then

By the way WSL1 says:


awk: fatal: cannot open file `/proc/fb' for reading (No such file or directory)
