Extra GPU lines reported in Windows scoop install, not present in MSYS2 master install

[NathanielJS1541]

Description

Same as issue #1759, but happens when running from Windows Terminal, powershell, and cmd too. There is an extra line which just says GPU: Caption before GPUs are listed, and an extra line that says GPU after the GPUs are listed. However, this does not happen when running the latest master branch in MSYS2.

Does this issue still occur in the master branch?

Does not appear to be present in the master branch, although could still be an issue as they both report the same version (7.1.0). It could be an issue with the version installed with scoop in this case.

Neofetch version

Neofetch 7.1.0 (Installed with scoop).

Screenshots

Screenshots demonstrating the issue:

Same computer, same configuration file, but from MSYS2 installed from latest master:

I'm having the same issue!

I'm getting the "GPU: Caption" message with MSYS2

edit: Wait, when you said "master branch", you mean self compiled? I just did a "pacman -S neofetch"

This was kinda bugging me so I hacked together a solution

Open the neofetch file in a text editor, for scoop users its in "C:\Users\(username)\scoop\apps\neofetch\7.1.0\neofetch"

Then go to line 2502 and replace:

            while read -r line; do
                prin "${subtitle:+${subtitle}${gpu_name}}" "$(trim "$line")"
            done < <(wmic path Win32_VideoController get caption)

with:

            while read -r line; do
                trimmed="$(trim "$line")"
                if [[ ! $trimmed == *"Caption"* && ! $trimmed = "" ]]; then
                    prin "${subtitle:+${subtitle}${gpu_name}}" "$(trim "$line")"
                fi
            done < <(wmic path Win32_VideoController get caption)

This will simply exclude the "Caption" and blank line, I also had a Citrix adaptor showing in GPUs so I've added it to the exclusions:

if [[ ! $trimmed == *"Caption"* && ! $trimmed = *"Citrix"* && ! $trimmed = "" ]]; then

happy hacking 👍

PS this "fix" is working fine on MSYS2 too, but you will need to edit the file in /usr/bin/neofetch

Same issue, fix works (scoop)

Winfetch doesn't have this issue btw

This fix still seems to be necessary, tried on windows 10 through msys2 and it immediately fixed the output

EDIT: fix also necessary and working on the scoop version of neofetch
