Screenfetch on Ubuntu

Screenfetch on Ubuntu



"screenFetch is a Bash Screenshot Information Tool. This handy Bash script can be used to generate one of those nifty terminal theme information + ASCII distribution logos you see in everyones screenshots nowadays. It will auto-detect your distribution and display an ASCII version of that distributions logo and some valuable information to the right. There are options to specify no ASCII art, colors, taking a screenshot upon displaying info, and even customizing the screenshot command! This script is very easy to add to and can easily be extended."


screenfetch


screenfetch -v

screenfetch -n

screenfetch -N


screenFetch can be installed on Ubuntu via terminal (ctrl+alt+t) :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:djcj/screenfetch
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install screenfetch

After the installation is complete you can run screenFetch by opening a terminal and type in the command screenfetch or wherever you saved the script to. This will generate an ASCII logo with the information printed to the side of the logo.  There are some options that may be specified on the command line, and those are shown below or by executing screenfetch -h :
  -v Verbose output.
 -o OPTIONS Allows for setting script variables on the
 command line. Must be in the following format...
 OPTION1="OPTIONARG1";OPTION2="OPTIONARG2"
 -n Do not display ASCII distribution logo.
 -N Strip all color from output.
 -t Truncate output based on terminal width (Experimental!).
 -p Output in portrait mode, with logo above info.
 -s(m) Using this flag tells the script that you want it
 to take a screenshot. Use the -m flag if you would like
 to move it to a new location afterwards.
 -c string You may change the outputted colors with -c. The format is
 as follows: [0-9][0-9],[0-9][0-9]. The first argument controls the
 ASCII logo colors and the label colors. The second argument
 controls the colors of the information found. One argument may be
 used without the other.
 -a PATH You can specify a custom ASCII art by passing the path
 to a Bash script, defining `startline` and `fulloutput`
 variables, and optionally `labelcolor` and `textcolor`.
 See the `asciiText` function in the source code for more
 informations on the variables format.
 -S COMMAND Here you can specify a custom screenshot command for
 the script to execute. Surrounding quotes are required.
 -D DISTRO Here you can specify your distribution for the script
 to use. Surrounding quotes are required.
 -A DISTRO Here you can specify the distribution art that you want
 displayed. This is for when you want your distro
 detected but want to display a different logo.
 -E Suppress output of errors.
 -V, --version Display current script version.
 -h, --help Display this help.
