p10k doesnt load if I switch users about powerlevel10k

That's how zsh works: it sources startup files from the home directory. When you log in as root, the home directory is /root.

If you like, you can configure root's zsh to source powerlevel10k. A better solution is to never log in as root.

Hey @romkatv I added source ~/.p10k.zsh to the .zshrc for both root and pi users and issue remains even after a new session

It seems to work when I do su pi but not su - pi

Why does su pi load p10k but not su - pi?

If you want to install powerlevel10k for root, you need to log in as root and then install powerlevel10k as usual. I don't recommend doing that but you can.

Its installed for both root and pi
The issue is it doesnt load when I log in as root and switch to pi
But if I log in as root or as Pi it works fine

If you want to activate powerlevel10k, you need to source it. Usually you source it from a zsh startup file. You can find the list of zsh startup files here: https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Intro/intro_3.html

I've seen your comment the first time you sent it. There is no need to delete and send it again.

I've nothing else to add to this issue.

Update: issue was due to the Pi user unable to access the Root user .zsh files due to file permissions. doh!
