What happened?

I just asked him to fix the errors, and then the terminal started flickering

What did you expect to happen?

Logically, it should display correctly

Run gemini to enter the interactive CLI, then run the /about command.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue may be related to a compatibility problem or a bug in the current version of the CLI, and checking the terminal settings or updating the CLI version might help.

Guidance

  • The terminal flickering after running a command suggests a potential issue with the terminal settings or the command itself, so checking the terminal configuration and the command's output might provide more insights.
  • Running the /about command in the Gemini CLI provides information about the current version and configuration, which could be useful for troubleshooting.
  • The provided link to the user-attachments repository might contain additional information or assets related to the issue, and reviewing its contents could help identify the cause.
  • Considering the CLI version is 0.38.2, checking for any known issues or updates related to this version might be helpful.

Notes

The provided information is limited, and without more details about the errors or the exact commands run, it's challenging to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the lack of information about the specific errors or commands, it's safer to try workarounds such as checking terminal settings or reviewing the user-attachments repository for clues rather than attempting to upgrade or modify the CLI version without clear evidence of a version-related issue.
