Failed to resolve logo source #2628
Description
Read the FAQ first
- I have checked the FAQ but the issue is not covered
Description
I want to use a custom image instead of a logo, but when I set the image (both through editing the config file and through commands) it just shows the default logo (so the Linux Mint logo for me)
When i run fastfetch --config ~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc --show-errors it gives me a message saying "Failed to resolve logo source"
I am running this on the kitty terminal

You should specify paths to a desired file from a common directory e.g.:
/~or$HOMETry these options:
"source": "~/<path_to_images_dir>/images/tachippuccin.png""source": "$HOME/<path_to_images_dir>/images/tachippuccin.png""source": "/home/<your_username>/<path_to_images_dir>/images/tachippuccin.png"I find this guide about linux paths on linux handbook quite informative, you may want to take a look at it too.

I changed my file path to
~/.config/fastfetch/images/tachippuccin.pngand instead i get an error that saysLogo (kitty-icat): 'kitten icat' returned empty output(replaced some of the characters so the code shows properly)However, it does work when I change the image protocal to
kittyorkitty-direct! Thank you.CarterLi commentedon Oct 5, 2026
