Lately I've learned UA-cam-dl, ffmpeg and mpv. They're useful for downloading, editing and playing videos. Now with jp2a you can create ascii images. But I can't figure out what to do with them once they're created. I don't use neofetch or screenfetch enough to bother changing the art there. There's ascii wallpaper, which it turns out, is already a thing. Then there's The World Around Us, which is a mysterious and strangely moving ascii animation. Never seen anything like it.
How do i add it into my neofetch WITH THE COLORS. I do this while using --colors and make it pepetea.sh and paste it in there then read it out on neofetch it doesn't display colors on it its just white... Any way to fix this?
@@destiny_02 i got some very weird results when trying to send to a txt file and opening with kate.... i too would like to preserve the colors and save as an image file. i hope the guy who made this video will say how.
@@destiny_02 right. but when i take your suggestion and redirect to say, kate i see the escape codes instead of the colors. what program should redirect the jp2a output to so we can see the colored text as desired and save as some type of image file? that is what the thrust of the original question is as well. a simple copy and paste works great in black and white, but colors are not making the jump
@@SnailBen the issue here is kate itself doesn't support should color codes (sublime trxt does with some plugin afaik), if you want a picture, just screenshot the terminal. Also, you can use cat command on that file to print out colored text again in terminal
something I saw back in the xp days on some of the game's text files(it's not important what or where :p) and always wondered how it was done, didn't even think it could be this easy! Thanks for sharing the tricks :) Subbed
how does one save the image with --colors? i've tried ImageMagick and saving as .jpg but got very strange results. when i try to simply copy/paste into kate, the colors do not paste with the text. i can save as html and read it with a browser, but it's a lot of inline code and it would seem simpler to have an image file... am i missing something simple??
Hello how are you, excellent video, it is very good to convert an image to ascii, could you make a video on how to replace the logo that neofetch shows with these images or with a non-ascii image? Greetings from Argentina.
i think pop os installs jp2a.. because i typed it in my term before downloading it, and its there, and i dont recall installing it.. or ever hearing about it lol.
I mean, In android, you can switch from one custom ROM to another ( If you don't know custom ROM, it's just like this distros but for Android) without loosing data The data stores in internal storage only system changes
I don't know exactly how to, but if you have home directory on separate partition then it could be preserved using manual partitioning while installing new distro...... Try searching on internet to learn how to do it
Yet another cool thing I didn't know I wanted
One of the best UA-camrs,
No extending the video to 10 minute mark. Just straight forward, no BS♥️♥️
might be off topic but
the thumbs up expression was majestic
Thank you... just what i was looking for
Makes we wonder how this was done back in the days of the C64.
Same stuff, the code isn't complex and heavy.
Now i need my amogus png, turn it into ascii and place that on my neofetch.
I need Rick Astley
sus

Looks fun.
Hey! Are you using Zsh? Or is it some customized bash script?
Customized bash script. I'll do a video soon :D

redirect the output of this program to a file then copy paste from there

@@SnailBen those are not weird results, they are ANSI Escape Codes, they are responsible for colors.

No need to get it from the AUR, it's in the community repository (by now) so you can just install it through pacman!
It's cool
I gonna use it for fetchmaster 6000 script.
& BTW did your Arch audio problems fixed? (I was the guy who gave the packages suggestions lol)

Lol I use to love playing with bgascii in Windows, fun times.
Yeah I found it at sudo apt install jp2a
How to window system to working Characert to images ? Thanks
THANK YOU! any tips for getting higher details?
how to make it centre aligned?
Suscribed. May I ask which distro are you using?
Endeavour OS
Imma go watch this on Odysee
Thank you
Thanks mate
It is possible to run this command automatically, everytime I open terminal? It may show custom image every time I open terminal.
edit your .bashrc file and echo "askii art here" then save and close it. then source ~/.bashrc close terminal and then reopen it
@@brandonlee712 Thanks a lot. Now it shows my logo every time I open the terminal.
when I try to copy, it won't keep it's format. What setting am I overlooking?
I have the same problem. have you found a solution bro?
How do you save the coloured one?
Im getting the error: "Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x89 0x50" when I try to load a PNG what could that be?
How to install it on fedora?
nice thanks bro
Or you can pipe it with > like a real unix chad. Great vid tho!
Nice!

Is there a good equivalent to this for PNG images?
I wondered too, and just saved my image.png as a image.jpg and it now works OK
Bro, the first image he used was a png. Did you not watch the video?
@@AbhishekBM Watched it again, yes you are right. But kept getting error message (Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x89 0x50) so just tried .jpg
@@TheClembo yeah, that's the starting bytes of png file. I wonder how it worked for him.
does this work on kali linux?
how to install?
Is there any way to switch different distro without losing data?
Backup lol
@@liftlinux9421 How to?

Seems pretty pointless, but nice shoutout for Odysee.
