Public bug reported: In ubuntu 24.04, the default terminal font is "Ubuntu Sans Mono". However, powerline 2.8.3-5, the current version in the Ubuntu repo, does not include Ubuntu Sans Mono (though it does include "Ubuntu Mono"). So powerline fails to work by default, and it fails in a way that can't be diagnosed without looking through the source code to see the supported fonts.
This can easily be fixed with a small change to a config file. I submitted the change to the powerline github repo in September 2024: https://github.com/powerline/powerline/commit/574bb1887b9f27b3c046c6b74a1f3ed75b115a75 Any chance we can get this change into the ubuntu repo where it belongs? $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS Release: 24.04 $ apt-cache policy powerline powerline: Installed: 2.8.3-5 Candidate: 2.8.3-5 Version table: *** 2.8.3-5 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: powerline (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2107669 Title: powerline doesn't work with default terminal font To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/powerline/+bug/2107669/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
