script doesn't do anything

Maybe I misunderstood how to use it or something, but when I launch hollywood in a terminal all I get is this:

I tried with -d 2 but nothing either. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 and using the version installed through the package manager (1.20 according to the changelog).

Some solutions

1. Maybe Hollywood is still running in the background so its unable to (re)start. Do ps or ps ax and find out if its still running. If yes, kill it with sudo kill <pid>
2. Do cat /usr/bin/hollywood to find out if the file is maybe empty
3. Reinstall Hollywood
4. Restart your terminal or your whole linux
5. What does it output, when you do /usr/bin/hollywood --help?
6. Does just hollywood (Without /usr/bin/) work?

Are you running hollywood directly or are you running it via a container @darealshinji ?
If you're running it directly how did you install it on your system ?

@SanoHD @mcrmonkey This happens when I try to run it in docker: https://youtu.be/5haiCkSKglo

For what ever reason it seems as though there are a few missing parts ( for example ccze cmatrix ) in the jess/hollywood image 🤷

I've put a PR in ( 548 ) to upgrade the base image and few other minor tweaks to make it go again ( removed --no-install-recommends ...bit of a cheat though )

I get the same as @MarcelWeidum in his video.
I've tried installing it with snap and launched it with /snap/bin/hollywood but the same.

@darealshinji the PR of @mcrmonkey is working. Fork his repo and run docker with that repo. It will work :)

Installing it with apt and --install-recommends did it. I just didn't realize there was stuff missing.
