It shows Loading... but not preview

[Archie-2021]

Should I use zsh as my shell for this to work? I installed all the prerequisite packages (including zsh) but it is not working.

Hey, non of them, it doesn't even show the simple text files anymore.

PS. Sorry I didn't understand the question properly, It is lf-ueberzug I am talking about.

Also it doesn't exit properly and crashes on exit.

Alright, I'll have a look. Haven't updated the scripts to the newer versions of lf.

I've checked the ueberzug and youtube gadgets quickly, and everything seems to work just fine. May I kindly ask you to post the outputs of the following commands:

uname -a
command -v lf
lf -version
ueberzug version
jq --version
youtube-dl --version
zsh --version

Looks good to me. The next step is to verify that you can run ueberzug overlays, as that seems to be the problem on your side. Unfortunately, ueberzug apparently isn't maintained anymore so you'll have to check out the README of one of the forks.

Also: you are using X11, right? You're not on wayland, are you?

Can you link one, I am not sure what you are referring here.

Yes I am on X , using EOS.

ueberzug is the program used to create overlays of images on top of terminal emulators, creating the impression of viewing images or videos "inside the terminal". I assume that these don't work on your side. Try getting to run a minimal working example with ueberzug.

using EOS

What is EOS?

Hi, I have a the same issue. After closing lf with q, I have to manually kill the process with Ctrl-C two times, this is the output:

^C/home/fra/.config/lf/lf-ueberzug-cleaner: 3: cannot create /tmp/lf-ueberzug-vuCz1G/fifo: Interrupted system call
^C/home/fra/.config/lf/lf-ueberzug-cleaner: 3: cannot create /tmp/lf-ueberzug-vuCz1G/fifo: Interrupted system call

@WalkingGarbage Hi. Can you check whether ueberzug overlays work in principle on your setup?

I'm sorry, I'm not really sure what you mean. I tried doing ueberzug layer -l 613356.png but:
