Not sure why it says Xubuntu 18.04.1 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 above.

cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=focal
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS"

I'm on Xubuntu 20.04

I have downloaded and compiled dmenu 5.0 and that solves the issue. I believe that the upstream bug is https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/61673.

So kindly please update dmenu .

Thank you
