[Debian] hyfetch does not render logo in motd

[skibbipl]

Describe the bug

I saw that hyfetch is packaged for debian so I decided to replace unmaintained neofetch. I have a motd script that displays neofetch banner after login. So I replaced neofetch with hyfetch, but moth displays only system info without the logo part.

• [?] Does this issue still occur in the master branch? (Required)

Expected behavior

Logo displayed after logging in to system.

Screenshots

executing hyfetch from terminal motd version

Config file

Please paste the content of ~/.config/hyfetch.json below:

{
    "preset": "rainbow",
    "mode": "rgb",
    "light_dark": "dark",
    "lightness": 0.65,
    "color_align": {
        "mode": "horizontal",
        "custom_colors": [],
        "fore_back": null
    },
    "backend": "neofetch",
    "args": null,
    "distro": null,
    "pride_month_shown": [],
    "pride_month_disable": false
}

Additional context

It works fine with original neofetch.

Apologies if my responses are slow for a bit, I'm working around family stuff for a few days.

Can you try setting args in the config to "-v", and piping the output of the motd to a file that you can upload? If not, I'll see if I can recreate this later today when I'm home.

I added the "-v" to the config but motd is not displaying debug information. I'm not sure how exactly motd executes the scripts in debian. It's some PAM magic and perhaps this causes the issue. However regular hyfetch displays following warnings:

The change causing that behavior is the stdout flag. Fix options are:

Set args in hyfetch.json to "--stdout=off"

Set $HOME/.config/neowofetch/config.conf to have stdout=off (for me it's the final option in the file).

[skibbipl]

Yeah, problem solved! Thanks.

[BKasin]

Glad I could help!

[skibbipl]

Perhaps this could be added to FAQ?

[BKasin]

Yeah, I'll add a section for it.
