Neofetch: Add Raspberry PI support on Raspbian!

[ladislavskufca]

Basics from making another $os to uname to fixing all current commands to work on it!

Also time to create new ascii image to display it there!

And so on...

[ladislavskufca]

Don't know how to assign this task to users. :laughing:

[dylanaraps]

What's the output of uname?

[ladislavskufca]

Hey sorry, something came in today so I had no time to boot thing up & install newest Raspbian. Gonna do it tommorow. We have 8 hours time delay anyway.

Was also thinking about ascii image, came up with great idea, I just have to realize it. :laughing:

[dylanaraps]

No problem!

[ladislavskufca]

So I just installed latest OS from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ called Raspbian Jessie. Booted up without internet connection with default settings and uname says Linux for me. Mkey then, let me copy your script. Guess what.

Works like it should (default config). Now we need to fix packages.

[ladislavskufca]

Scrot function also works but without internet I had to take picture with phone.

[dylanaraps]

Awesome!

Now we need to fix packages.

Fixed.

[dylanaraps]

Ascii art is also done.

Once you can confirm that this works on your PI, we can close this issue.

[dylanaraps]

Ping @mclado.

[dylanaraps]

Closing this as it should work just fine.

Following installation instructions for Debian, when I run sudo apt-get update I get this error:

W: Failed to fetch http://dl.bintray.com/dawidd6/neofetch/dists/jessie/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

I'm running a Raspberry Pi 3 with the latest Raspbian release (based on Debian Jessie). Is there anything I'm missing? Maybe the package isn't build for my architecture?

I can always try to install using the manual installation but having it on the package manager is always better.

@dawidd6 only has amd64 and i386 support in his repository (despite Neofetch working on damn near anything, I ran it on a armel based QNAP NAS a few weeks ago to test it). Perhaps he can add support for other architectures to his repo

Neofetch is being added to the official Debian repositories soon though, so when Debian Stretch (and it's equivalent Raspbian version) comes out you should be able to install it without any additional repositories.

@vallovic @iandrewt i've investigated the problem. Here are some facts:

I'm providing neofetch debian package for "all" architectures, but now i see that apt doesn't look into "binary-all" directory. If there's no "binary-$arch", then apt throws error as above. The thing is, bintray makes only "amd64" and "i386" dirs, despite the fact, that package is marked: "Architecture: all" in control file as well in bintray itself.

The fix is simple. Just change this line in "/etc/apt/sources.list":
deb http://dl.bintray.com/dawidd6/neofetch jessie main
To this:
deb [arch=all] http://dl.bintray.com/dawidd6/neofetch jessie main

Tested on RPi2:

[vallovic]

It worked, @dawidd6 ! 😄 Just installed, configured a bit and that's neofetch running on my RPi3. Thanks!

Since 2.0 release this issue is resolved fully. There's no need to add [arch=all] anymore
