Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1. From a terminal window in Unity 7.7 (24.04.01 LTS) type 'screenfetch'
Expected Results:
1. You get screenfetch information
Actual results:
1. Screenfetch executes - but the following is displayed:
/usr/bin/unity:249: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\ '
help="Run unity under debugging to help debugging an issue. /!\ Only if devs
ask for it.")
/usr/bin/unity:251: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\ '
help="Path to compiz. /!\ Only if devs ask for it.")
/usr/bin/unity:253: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\ '
help="Run unity under gdb and print a backtrace on crash. /!\ Only if devs
ask for it.")
/usr/bin/unity:259: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\ '
help="Run unity /!\ This is for compatibility with other desktop interfaces
and acts the same as running unity without --replace")
Relevant notes:
1. This is a python escape sequence error. In your /usr/bin/unity file, there
is the following characters: /!\ probably designed to look like a warning
sign. Unfortunately, the \ is a reserved character in Python and \(space) will
throw a syntax error. This can be easily corrected by changing /!\ to /!\\
Basically this escapes the escape character. Removes the syntax error from
screenfetch and preserves the correct view in "unity --help"
