[Solved] terminal font is black

DEMONPRINCE777 · 2023-10-31 14:22:20

so i did some stuff on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Performance and after i reboot into e4rat and my terminal font was black and i thought that this might be because i am in e4rat and this is some kind of bug so i reboot into my normal wm and when i opened kitty the font was still black i installed alacritty to cheak if the promblem was in kitty but the font in it was also black but in other apps like firefox and rofi the font was white so i booted into an tty to cheak if the font is black or not it is white so how do i get my terminal font colors back?

edit: umm so i opened anki to study a bit and it was complete black and i opened librewolf it was also complete black but in the mullvad-browser and tor browser it was normal . when when the termal font was black i had no idea what was going on and now i completly dont have any idea of whats going on since it cant be an gtk issue since anki uses its own theme.

Please help me.

What?? E4rat is not a WM, nor does it change what WM you are running... in any way.

So your problem is just that the foreground color in kitty is black, right? If so, set it to not be black!

So it's mulitple GUI clients, it's not the shell (b/c the console isn't affected)
Based on your client selection, I guess you misreprensent the symptoms and it's not so much that the fonts are black, but the entire windows - possibly b/c they're all GL clients and you fucked up your GL stack.

=> Post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General
You can do that from the console, following the 1st link below.
Also remove or rename ~/.drirc

DEMONPRINCE777 · 2023-10-31 18:46:23

I am using wayland on hyprland. I am sorry but how do you do that in wayland or hyprland since thats what controls most things in wayland

Do what in wayland? Removing the ~/.drirc?
Your xorg log is obviously irrelevant w/ hyprland.

Though it's kinda odd to see anything itfp in that case.
Link a screenshot of the situation.

DEMONPRINCE777 · 2023-11-01 12:10:43

sorry for the late reply.
oh i thought you meant send the log I guess that doesnt really make sense sorry.

Start by posting your kitty config.

DEMONPRINCE777 · 2023-11-01 13:29:03

I dont know how it would help to slove the issue since kitty is not only app that this happens to

:W vim:fileencoding=utf-8:foldmethod=marker

font_family mononoki Regular

font_size 11.0

I tried to remove the pywal colors but it was the same after that

We'd need to see that included file. But the fact that it is (I believe) generated by an automated tool that can change it without your consent, this is not a very good test.

Just set an actual foreground color (after including any generated color schemes) with `foreground #ffffff` then restart kitty.

DEMONPRINCE777 · 2023-11-01 14:10:00

I changed the foreground color but nothing changed.

seth · 2023-11-01 15:36:46

Post the updated file and please use [code][/code] tags. Also edit your previous post in this regard.

No, apparently you misconfigured a whole slew of them and we're using kitty to figure "how", pywal seems a nice contender already.

DEMONPRINCE777 · 2023-11-02 11:19:45

oh ok

hmmm. forgive me if I am wrong but before i did the tweaks and stuff for performance I already had things like pywal and stuff installed and things like kitty librewolf anki were working fine and I didnt changed the config for them either soo

What happens if you add

color0  #ff0000
color1  #ff0000
color2  #ff0000
color3  #ff0000
color4  #ff0000
color5  #ff0000
color6  #ff0000
color7  #ff0000
color8  #ff0000
color9  #ff0000
color10  #ff0000
color11  #ff0000
color12  #ff0000
color13  #ff0000
color14  #ff0000
color15  #ff0000

Next to that, try the behvior of kitty in an openbox session.

DEMONPRINCE777 · 2023-11-02 15:07:39

wow openbox is light. The fonts took longer to download than openbox it self

I found that colors on konsole works and openbox was the same colors didnt work on kitty and the other apps were complete black

How does glxgears behave?

Edit your first post in the thread and there you can add "[Solved]" to the beginning of the title.

Deleting the drirc? Magic?

DEMONPRINCE777 · 2023-11-03 09:40:39
