Hi all,
some commands (like mkinicpio, makepkg, and also pacman) give a truncated output like in image below (this is for mkinicpio)

Can anyone tell me why? I use KDE 5 and konsole is 3.01 with kde Framerowrks 5.8.0
thanks

What actual command was used? That doesn't look like pacman or mkinitcpio output, it looks like yaourt output. Do you have the same problem if you use pacman, makepkg, or mkinitcpio directly?

this is mkinitcpio -p linux output I just use these commands directly

Do you get the same results in a tty, or just in Konsole? If just Konsole, have you tried other terminal emulators? You could also try the following for diagnostics:
source /usr/lib/initcpio/functions
msg "some longish message to see if it gets cut off"
The first of those will likely give a couple error messages, but they can be ignored. The test is whether the second line prints out the whole message.

Did you resize the terminal at some point?

Try a different font. I recommend a monospaced font. I find Konsole gets its kerning very, very wrong with whatever the default is on the systems I have installed recently.

Thank you! the problem was the default monospace font in konsole (oxygen monospace): selecting i.e Andale Monospace the problem solved
