New version, man page, exciting changes!! Bugs: 1. issue #200 - forgot to add all variants for -p, now works with --partition-full and --partitions-full 2. issue #199 - another one, forgot to add --disk to -D for long version. Thanks adrian15 for both of these, he was testing something and discovered these were missing. 3. Issue #187 an issue with RAID syntax not being handled in a certain case, thanks EnochTheWise for following through on this one. This turned out to be a bad copy paste, a test pattern did not match the match pattern. Fixes: 1. Fixed some docs typos. 2. Issue #188 fixed protections and filters for some glxinfo output handlers. 3. Issue #195, for Elbrus bit detection. 4. Added filter to cpu data, was not skipping if arm, so Model string was treated numerically. Enhancements: 1. Added rescatux to Debian system base detections. This closes issue #202, again from adrian15, thanks. 2. For cpu architecture, updated for latest AMD ryzen and other families, like Zen 3, which is just coming out re available data. Also latest Intel, which are trickier to ID right now, but I think I got the latest ones right, That's things like coffee lake, amber lake, comet lake, etc. 3. Huge one, full (hopefully out of the box) Russian Elbrus CPU support. Thanks to the alt-linux and the others who helped provide data and feedback to get support. Note that this was also part of correcting 64 bit detection for e2k type, which is how Elbrus IDs internally. See issue #197 which I've left open for the time being for more information on this CPU and how it's now handled by inxi. Note all available data should now work for Elbrus, including physical cpu/core counts etc. Elbrus do not show flag information, nor do they use min/max speed, so that data isn't available, but everything else seems to work well. 4. Eternal disk vendors. Thanks linux lite hardware database, you continue to help make the disk vendor feature work by supplying every known vendor ever seen. 5. To close debian bug report https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=942194 Note that the fix is simply to give the user the option to disable this behavior with the new --no-sudo and NO_SUDO configuration file options. This issue should never have been filed as a bug since even the poster admitted it was a wishlist item, but because of how debian bug tracker works, it's hard to get rid of invalid bugs. Note that this is the internal use of sudo for hddtemp and file, not starting inxi with sudo, so using this option or configuration item just removes sudo from the command. Note that because the user did not do as requested, and never actually filed a github wishlist issue, and since his request was vague and basically pointless, the fix is just to let you switch off sudo, that's all.

.TH INXI 1 "2019\-11\-19" inxi "inxi manual"
decided have skills to edit
2012-09-15 09:18:08 +00:00
.SH NAME
New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

.SH SYNOPSIS
New version, new man. Bug fixes. BSD fixes. Bugs fixed: 1. CPU: MT/HT was wrong for old xeon, made mt detection more robust and hopefully more reliable, removed all explicit b_xeon based tests. 2. fixed /dev/mapper glitch, that make /dev/mapper links fail to get id'ed. 3. openbsd: fixed memory handler; fixed cpu flags, fixed partitions handling. 4. freebsd: fixed similar partition bugs, these were caused by the darwin patch. 5. man page: fixed top synopis syntax, thanks ESR. 6. partitions fs: fixed possible failures with lsblk fs. lsblk: added debuggers so we can track down this failure in the future. 7. added sshfs filter for disk used output, note, there is a possible syntax for remote fs that isn't handled: AAA:BBB that is, no :/, only the :. This makes explicit detection of still unknown remote fs very difficult since : is a legal nix filename character.

New version, many small fixes. And a hall of shame, LOL. Bugs: 1. Issue #188 exposed a situation in glxinfo where the required opengl fields are present but contain null data. This happens when a system does not have the required opengl drivers, which was the case here. inxi failed to handle that. Thanks LinuxMonger for posting the required data to figure this corner case out. 2. Fixed a long time bug in Disk vendor ID, there was an eq (string equals) where it was supposed to use regex pattern match. Oops. Would have led to disk vendor id failures in several cases. Fixes: 1. help, man updates for RAM/Memory data, more clarifications. 2. Refactored RepoData class/package, to make it easier to handle repo string data, and make it all overall cleaner internally, and enable future extensions to certain features in inxi that may or may not one day become active. 3. Added to some regex compares \Q$VAR\E to disable regex characters in strings. I should have used that a long time ago, oh well, better late than never! 4. Found a horrible case were xdpyinfo uses 'preferred' instead of the actual pixel dimensions, shame on whoever allowed that output!!! shame! Had to add a workaround to make sure numeric values are present, if not, then use the fallback, which means, 2x more data parsing to get data that should not require that, but in this example, it did (an Arch derivative, but it could be xdpyinfo itself, don't know)> Enhancements: 1. More fixes on issue #185. Thanks tubecleaner for finding and provding required data to really solve a set of RAM issues that apply particularly in production systems. This issue report led to 2 new options: --memory-short, which only shows a basic RAM report. Memory: RAM: total: 31.43 GiB used: 14.98 GiB (47.7%) Report: arrays: 1 slots: 4 modules: 2 type: DDR4 And a 2nd, --memory-modules, only shows the occupied slots. This can be useful in situations where it's a server or vm with a lot of slots, most empty: Memory: RAM: total: 31.43 GiB used: 15.44 GiB (49.1%) Array-1: capacity: 256 GiB slots: 4 EC: None Device-1: DIMM 1 size: 16 GiB speed: 2400 MT/s Device-2: DIMM 1 size: 16 GiB speed: 2400 MT/s Note that both of these options trigger -m, so -m itself is not required. 2. More disk vendors!! The list never ends! Thanks linux-lite hardware database and users for supplying, and buying/obtaining, apparently every disk known to mankind. 3. Added fallback XFCE detection, in cases were the system does not have xprop installed, it's still possible to do a full detection of xfce, including toolkit, so now inxi does that, one less dependency to detect one more desktop. 4. Added vmwgfx driver to xorg drivers list. Note, I've never actually seen this in the wild, but I did see it as the kernel reported driver from lspci, so it may exist. Unfixed: 1. Issue #187 EnochTheWise (?) did not supply the required debugger data so there is a RAID ZFS issue that will not get fixed until the required debugger data is supplied. Please do not waste all our time filing an issue if you have no intention of actually following through so we can get it fixed. Note that a key way we get issues here is from Perl errors on the screen, which are a frequent cause of someone realizing something is wrong. This is why I'm not going to do a hack fix for the RAID ZFS issue, then the error messages will go away, and it will likely never get handled. For examples of good, useful, productive issue reports, and how to do them right: #188 and #185, both of which led to good improvements in how inxi handles corner cases in those areas.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

All options have long form variants \- see below for these and more advanced options.
New version, new man page. Bug fixes, feature/output tweaks. Bugs fixed: 1. stray undefined value corrected 2. fixed BSD no pkg server case, now shows correctly that no pkg server files were found, not that the OS is not supported. Features: 1. -t c and m headers cleaned up and simplified 2. man page edits. 3. more standarization of key names for fields, some spelling and upper/lower case corrections.

All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

New version, new man page. Bug fixes, feature/output tweaks. Bugs fixed: 1. stray undefined value corrected 2. fixed BSD no pkg server case, now shows correctly that no pkg server files were found, not that the OS is not supported. Features: 1. -t c and m headers cleaned up and simplified 2. man page edits. 3. more standarization of key names for fields, some spelling and upper/lower case corrections.

.SH PRIVACY AND SECURITY
New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

In order to maintain basic privacy and security, inxi used on IRC automatically
New version, man page. Big set of changes. Full USB refactor, plus added features. Bugs: 1. A result of the issue #156 USB refactor, I discovered that the --usb sort order, which was based on Bus+DeviceID, in fact is wrong, pure and simple. This was exposed by using a second USB hub on a bus, the Device IDs are not really related in any clearly logical way to the actual position on the bus. The solution was to fully refactor the entire USB logic and then use generated alpha sorters based on the full bus-port[.port] ID. Device ID is now printed last in the ID string, like so: 1-4:1. Note that Device IDs start at 1 for each bus, regardless of how many hubs you have attached to that port. 2. Certain situations triggered a bug in Optical devices, I'd forgotten to change $_ to $key in two places. Since that part didn't normally get triggered, I'd never noticed that bug before. Thanks TinyCore for exposing that glitch! Fixes: 1. On legacy systems, fluxbox --version does not work, -v does. Corrected. 2. for --usb, network devices should now show the correct 'type: Network'. For some weird reason, the people who made the usb types didn't seem to consider many key devices, scanners, wifi/ethernet adapters, and those are almost always "Vendor defined class". 3. A really big fix, for instances where system is using only Busybox, like TinyCore, or booting into any system running busybox for whatever reason, now avoids the various errors when using busybox ps, which only for example outputs 3, not 11, default columns for ps aux, and which does not support ps -j, which is used in the start/shell client information. This gets rid of a huge spray of errors, and actually allows for pretty complete output from systems that only have busybox tools installed. This should cover everything from TinyCore to MIPS to ARM systems that run minimalist Linux. Note that this fix goes along with the /sys based USB parser, since such systems may have USB, but are unlikely to have lsusb installed, but do have /sys USB data. 4. In some cases, strings /sbin/init would trigger a false version result, fixed that logic so now it rarely will do that. Enhancements: 1. Added Mosksha desktop, that's a Bodhi fork of Enlightenment E17; added qtile window manager (no version info). 2. Added Bodhi detection; Salix + base slackware; kde neon system base; 3. Added support for slaptget repos, basic, it may not be perfecct. 4. More disk vendors, and matches for existing vendors. 5. Full rewrite of USB data, in --usb, -A, and -N, along with core usb data engines. This makes lsusb optional, though recommended (because it has a better vendor/ product ID to string internal database) than /sys data. This was in response to a second set of issues in #156 by gm10, USB drivers. Depending on the system, using only /sys data, while slightly less informative, is between 20 and 2000 milliseconds faster, so if you want speed, either use the new --usb-sys option, or the configuration file USB_SYS=[true|false] option. 1. switched to cleaner more efficient data structures 2. added ports count to hub report, linux and bsd. 3. added [--usb|-A|-N] -xxx serial for Device items, if present. 4. added --usb -xx drivers, per interface, can be 1 or more drivers. 5. fully refactored -A and -N usb device logic, far cleaner and simple now, much easier to work with, no more hacks to find things and match them. 6. USB type: now comes from /sys, and is in general going to be more accurate than the lsusb -v based method, which was always an ugly and incomplete hack. As with drivers, it also now lists all the interface types found per device, not just the first one as with the previous method. Note that HID means the more verbose: Human Interface Device, but I shortened it. Now that the type: data is created by inxi reading the class/subclass/protocal IDs, and then figuring out what to do itself, I can have quite a bit more flexibility in terms of how type is generated. 7. added --usb -xxx interfaces: [count] for devices, which lists the device interface count. This can be useful to determine if say, a usb/keyboard adapter is a 2 interface device. Note that Audio devices generally have many interfaces, since they do more than 1 thing (audio output, microphone input, etc.). 8. Support for user configuration file item: USB_SYS=[true|false]. This is useful if you want to see only the /sys version of the data, or if you want the significant speed boost not using lsusb offers, particularly on older systems with a complex USB setup, many buses, many devices, etc. New option --usb-tool overrides USB_SYS value, and forces lsusb use. 9. New options: --usb-sys - forces all usb items to use /sys data, and skip lsusb. Note that you still have to use the feature options, like --usb, -A, or -N. This can lead to a significant improvement in execution time for inxi. 10. Rather than the previous bus:device ID string, to go along with the internal sorting strings used, inxi now shows the real Bus / port /port ids, like: 1-3.2.1:3 - Bus-Port[.port]:device id. 6. Added support for Xvesa display server. Thanks for exposing that one, TinyCore! 7. Added tce package manager to repos. That's the tinycore package manager. Changes: 1. big one, after 10 plus years, the venerable 'Card-x:' for -A,-N, and -G has been replaced by the more neutral 'Device-x:'. This was a suggestion by gm10 from Mint in issue #156 This makes sense because for a long time, most of these devices are not cards, they are SOC, motherboard builtin, USB devices, etc, so the one thing they all are are some form of a device, and the one thing that they are all not is a Card. Along with the recent change from HDD: to Local Storage in Disks: this brings inxi terminology out of the ancient times and into the present. Thanks for the nudge gm10. Removed: See inxi-perl/docs/inxi-fragments.txt for removed blocks. 1. Entire parser for lsusb -v, now it all runs either usbdevs or lsusb, and if Linux and not lsusb, it will use /sys exclusively, otherwise it uses /sys data to complete the lsusb vendor/product strings. 2. Two functions that were used by -A and -N to match usb devices and get their /sys data, that became redundant since it all now goes through the /sys parser already, so those features can get the data pre-parsed from the @usb arrays.

New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi.

Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19.

Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH.

Note that voltage information is presented as Current Voltage / Designed minimum voltage. -xxx adds battery chemistry (like Li-ion), cycles (note: there's a bug somewhere in that makes the cycle count always be 0, I don't know if that's in the batteries, the linux kernel, but it's not inxi, just FYI, the data is simply 0 always in all my datasets so far.

New version, man page. Features, bugs, fixes! Bugs: 1. Color selector accepted '' as a value, which it would then write to config file, creating errors since it's not an integer value. 2. Corrected distro id error for last fallback case, making the distro ID out of the filename itself, that was missing the assignment to $distro. 3. mmcblk0 was showing up as an unmounted partition, due to failing to filter mmcblk[0-9] in unmounted. Fixes: 1. Added missing compositor kwin_wayland to compositor detections 2. For -M, on laptops, sometimes Type: would duplicate in Chassis: type: which looks silly, so now it checks to make sure the two values are different before using the Chassis: type: data. 3. -D disk vendor, added GALAX, fixed Toshiba, which sometimes occurs other than start of disk id string, so now it checks the whole string. This seems particularly common in nvme devices from Toshiba. This is the only vendor I have found that puts the vendor string later in the device id string. 4. Added protection against unreadable but present /etc/issue. This was caused by a now fixed bug in OpenSuSe, which symbolically linked to create /etc/issue from /var/run/issue, but with 600 permissions, root read only, that is. Note that this bug has since been fixed (now has the correct 644 permissions), but I figured better safe than sorry in case anyone else decides that's a good idea in the future. Now only sends to reader if readable. 5. Related to 4, made reader not exit on failure, now just prints error message and keeps going. 6. Upped maximum distro string length to 60, from 50. AntiX for example was coming in at 48, so I decided to add some safe room now that inxi does dynamic sizing, it is not a big problem having very long distro id strings. Enhancements: 1. Added basic /proc data parser to debugger. Can't get all the data or files because it's simply too big, but grabs the basics. 2. Added vcgencmd for some ARM rasberry pi debugging. 3. ARM: add model if not found in /proc/cpuinfo, or if different. 4. Added Tdie cpu sensor type, this is coming soon in latest kernels, so catching it early. Tdie will replace k10-temp sensor item temp1. 5. Added --admin extra data option, and first set of extra data, -C, which will show CPU Errata (bugs), family, model-id, stepping (as hex (decimal) or hex if less than or equal to 9), microcode (as hex). 6. Battery: added with -x option, if found, attached battery driven devices, like wifi keyboard, mouse. If upower is present, will also try to show battery charge percent for those devices. Note that -B only shows the Device-X items if -x is used, and will not show anything in -F unless there is a system, not device, battery present, or if -Fx is used and there is a Device battery detected. Added upower to recommends. 7. Basic -Dxxx disk rotation speeds added. Requires udevadm. Not all spinning disks show rotation speeds, and it depends on udevadm, so if no rotation found, it shows nothing. 8. Added explicit Arco Linux and Antergos distro ID support. This requires more checks, but in theory, both should now show Arco Linux or Antergos instead of default 'Arch Linux' as before, plus extra data if found, like version.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6.

you set the config file value for the selection.
New version, man page. Fixes, enhancements, changes. Thanks: 1. AntiX forums, for testing -C --admin, suggestions, always helpful. Bugs: 1. Added switch to set @ps_gui, I forgot case where info block was only thing that used ps_gui (Nitrux kde nomad latte case). This led to no info: data if other ps_gui switches not activated. Now each block that can use it activates it. Fixes: 1. To clarify issue #161 added help/man explanation on how to get colors in cases where you want to preserve colors for piped or redirected output. Thanks fugo. 2. LMDE 3.0 released, slightly different system base handling, so refactored to add Debian version, see enhancement 2. Tested on some old vm instances, improved old system Debian system base id, but it's empirical, distro by distro, there is no rule I can use to automatically do it, sadly. 3. 'Motherboard' sensors field name added, a few small tweaks to sensors. This was in response to issue #159, which also raised a problem I was not really aware of, user generated sensor config files, that can have totally random field names. Longer term solution, start getting data from sys to pad out lm-sensors data, or to handle cases where no lm-sensors installed. 4. Fixed kwin_11 and kwin_wayland compositor print names, I'd left out the _, which made it look strange, like there were two compositors or something. 5. Fixed latte-dock ID, I thought the program name when running was latte, not latte-dock. inxi checks for both now. Thanks Nitrux for exposing that in vm test. 6. Sensors: added in a small filter to motherboard temp, avoid values that are too high, like SYSTIN: 118 C, filters out to only use < 90 C. Very unlikely a mobo would be more than 90C unless it's a mistake or about to melt. This may correct anoymous debugger dataset report from rakasunka. Enhancements: 1. Added --admin to -v 8 and to --debugger 2x 2. Expanded system base to use Debian version tool, like the ubuntu one, that lets me match version number to codename. The ubuntu one matches code names to release dates. Added Neptune, PureOS, Sparky, Tails, to new Debian system base handler. 3. Big enhancement: --admin -C now shows a nice report on cpu vulnerabilities, and has a good error message if no data found. Report shows: Vulnerabilities: Type: [e.g. meltdown] status/mitigation: text explanation. Note: 'status' is for when no mitigation, either not applicable, or is vulnerable. 'mitigation' is when it's handled, and how. Thanks issue #160 Vascom from Fedora for that request. 4. The never-ending saga of disk vendor IDs continues. More obscure vendors, more matches to existing vendors. Thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database Changes: 1. Reordered usb output, I don't know why I had Hubs and Devices use different ordering and different -x switch priorities, that was silly, and made it hard to read. Now shows: Device/Hub: bus-id-port-id[.port-id]:device-id info: [product info] type/ports: [devices/hubs] usb: [type, speed] -x adds drivers for devices, and usb: speed is now default for devices, same as Hubs. Why I had those different is beyond me. The USB ordering is now more sensible, the various components of each matching whether hub or device. Unfixable or Won't Fix: 1. Unable to detect Nomad desktop. As far as I can tell, Nomad is only a theme applied to KDE Plasma, there is no program by that name detectable, only a reference in ps aux to a theme called nomad. 2. Nitrux system base ID will not work until they correct their /etc/os-release file. 3. Tails live cd for some inexplicable reason uses non standard /etc/os-release field names, which forces me to either do a custom detection just for them, or for them to fix this bug. I opted for ignoring it, if I let each distro break standard formats then try to work around it, the distro ID will grow to be a 1000 lines long easily. Will file distro bug reports when I find these from now on.

For certain CPUs (some ARM, and AMD Zen family) shows CPU die count.
New version, new tarball, new man page. This should fix the Rizen multithreaded cpu output issues. Now inxi handles > 8 cores in terms of output filters, descriptions, correctly noting that it's multithreaded. Because AMD has entered the Multithreading game, I've changed the trade term: HT - HyperThreading to MT - MultiThreading to support both Intel and AMD variants. Updated CPU output filters to also account for these very large core counts. I believe this commit now adds full support for the new Ryzen series, but I'll have to see when it comes to other variants that may appear. I've tried to future proof the MT tests, but I won't know of those are fully functional and accurate until inxi sees the real data.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

* \fBSMP\fR \- Symmetric Multi Processing (more than 1 physical CPU).
New version, new tarball, new man page. This should fix the Rizen multithreaded cpu output issues. Now inxi handles > 8 cores in terms of output filters, descriptions, correctly noting that it's multithreaded. Because AMD has entered the Multithreading game, I've changed the trade term: HT - HyperThreading to MT - MultiThreading to support both Intel and AMD variants. Updated CPU output filters to also account for these very large core counts. I believe this commit now adds full support for the new Ryzen series, but I'll have to see when it comes to other variants that may appear. I've tried to future proof the MT tests, but I won't know of those are fully functional and accurate until inxi sees the real data.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

.B \-D\fR,\fB \-\-disk\fR
New version, new tarball. New features, bug fixes. This is a big one. NEW FEATURES: 1. By Request: Disk vendor is now generally going to be shown. Since this uses empirical data to grab the vendor name, from the model string, it will not always find anything. When it fails to find vendor data, no vendor: item will show. Note that some MMC devices will probably not show vendor data, but that's due to there being no data that reveals that. 2. Extended -sx volts to also show voltage from lm-sensors if present. Many systems show no voltage data with lm-sensors, but now if any is found, it will show, same as impi. 3. Moved to lsblk as primary source for partition/unmounted filesystem, uuid, and label data. Falls back to previous methods if lsblk does not return data. Some lsblk do not show complete data unless super user as well. 4. Refactored code to be more logical and clear. 5. Added for OpenBSD -r: /etc/installurl file. BUG FIXES: 1. CRITICAL: /sys/block/xxx/device/model is in some cases truncating the disk model name to 16 characters. This is not an inxi bug, it's a bug with /sys itself. To fix this, inxi now uses for GNU/Linux /dev/disk/by-id data which does not ever do this truncation. It's also faster I believe to read that directory once, filter the results, then use the data for vendor/model/serial. this was also part of the disk vendor data feature. 2. Openbsd networking fix. Was not showing IF data, now it does. 3. Fixed bug with unmounted where sometimes md0 type partitions would show even though they are in a raid array. 4. Fixed disk rev, now it searches for 3 different files in /sys to get that data. 5. Fixed bug with very old systems, with sudo 1.6 or older, for some reason that error did not get redirected to /dev/null, so now only using sudo -n after explicit version test, only if 1.7 or newer. 6. Fixed a few null results in fringe cases for graphics. Resolution now shows NA for Hz if no hz data found. This was only present on a fringe user case which is unlikely to ever impact normal X installations. 7. Fixed BSD L2 cache, was showing MiB instead of KiB, wrong math.

Show Hard Disk info. Shows total disk space and used percentage. The disk used
percentage includes space used by swap partition(s), since those are not usable
for data storage. Note that with RAID disks, the percentage will be wrong since
the total is computed from the disk sizes, but used is computed from mounted
partition used percentages. This small defect may get corrected in the future.
Also, unmounted partitions are not counted in disk use percentages since inxi
has no access to the used amount.
Also shows per disk information: Disk ID, type (if present), vendor (if detected),
model, and size. See \fBExtra Data Options\fR for more features.

New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide.

This is not an inxi bug, it's a bug with /sys itself. To fix this, inxi now uses for GNU/Linux /dev/disk/by-id data which does not ever do this truncation. It's also faster I believe to read that directory once, filter the results, then use the data for vendor/model/serial. this was also part of the disk vendor data feature. 2. Openbsd networking fix. Was not showing IF data, now it does. 3. Fixed bug with unmounted where sometimes md0 type partitions would show even though they are in a raid array. 4. Fixed disk rev, now it searches for 3 different files in /sys to get that data. 5. Fixed bug with very old systems, with sudo 1.6 or older, for some reason that error did not get redirected to /dev/null, so now only using sudo -n after explicit version test, only if 1.7 or newer. 6. Fixed a few null results in fringe cases for graphics. Resolution now shows NA for Hz if no hz data found. This was only present on a fringe user case which is unlikely to ever impact normal X installations. 7. Fixed BSD L2 cache, was showing MiB instead of KiB, wrong math.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

local/WAN IP. Shows both IPv4 and IPv6 link IP addresses.
New version, new tarball, new man page. This corrects several oversights of the 2.3.10 IPv6 update. Now there is an -x option for -i that will show the additioanl IPv6 address data for scope global, temporary, and site. Also a fallback for unhandled scope: unknown. If the tool 'ip' is used, it will filter out the deprecated temp site/global addresses, ifconfig tool does not appear to offer this option. Also changed is that now ipv6 address always shows, it's not an -x option. Probably about time to start rolling out ip v6 data to users now that ip v6 is starting, slowly, to be used more. Another small change, the link address for ipv6 is changed from ip-v6: to ip-v6-link so that it's more clear which IP v6 address it is. The last commit had a significant logic error in it that did not distinguish between the link address, which is what should have only shown, and the remaining possible addresses. I've tried to get a basic bsd support, but it's difficult to know the variants of ifconfig output syntax

New version, new man. Changes, bug fixes, enhancements! Don't delay! Bugs: 1. A real bug, the detection for true path of /dev/root had a mistake in it and would only have worked in half the cases. This was an easy fix, but a significant but since it also would lead to the actual root / partition showing in Unmounted. 2. Related to the item Fixes-2, if two USB networking devices were attached, the second one's bus and chip ID would go on the wrong line of data if -n or -i option were used. Since that would be the line belonging to the one above, that obviously was weird and wrong. 3. NEW: latest kernel can show hwmon data in sensors, for example from wifi chip. This broke CPU temp detection and showed way too high cpu temp, so this fix is fairly important since new kernels may have this new sensors hwmon syntax. 4. Sensors: IPMI alternate syntax found, also case with no data in expected columns, just N/A, so now the ipmi sensor logic skips all lines with non numeric values in the values column. This is what it should have done all along, it was trusting that values would always exist for the field names it looks for. Fixes: 1. ARM networking fix. ARM devices like rasberry pi that use usb bus for networking showed the no data message even though usb networking was right below it. This is corrected, and now that only shows if both main and usb networking failed for ARM. 2. Big repo fix: while testing distro and Trinity live cds, I discovered that apt is sometimes used with rpms, which made PCLinuxOS and ALT-Linux Repos item show the apt files but no data since the pattern was looking for start with deb. Added rpm to pattern, so all distros that use apt running rpms should now 'just work'. 3. Fixed more distro id things, PCLinuxOS should now show its full distro string. 4. Debugger: Filtered out more blocks of /proc, that data is bloated and messy, found another case where it collected a vast amount of junk system data from zfs in that case, just blocked the entire range. I had no idea /proc had so much junk data in it! 5. As noted above, IPMI, yet another alternate syntax for field names. My hope that IPMI software and sensors will be more logical and consistent than lm-sensors output is proving to be merely wishful thinking, I think now out of 3 datasets I've gotten, I've seen 3 variants for syntax, not to mention the ipmi-tool vs ipmi-sensors differences. So IPMI will be like all sensors stuff, a work in progress, to be updated with every newly discovered alternate syntax and data set. Enhancements: 1. Disk vendors, added some, improved pattern detections for others. This feature is getting better all the time. Thanks linuxlite hw db, easy to scan for missing vendors in their inxi data. 2. Added more wm, budgie-wm, mwm, variants of kwin and Trinity's Twin, several others, more refactoring of core wm/desktop code. 3. Added gpu ram and reworked memory logic for rasberry pi, which is the only SBC I am aware of that uses that tool. Now reports the actual total, and also gpu: for ram data, so you can tell that the gpu is using part of the total. Again, this comes from issue #153. Also added that info to man page for -I part. 4. Added more ARM and PCI cleaners for neater and more concise ARM/PCI output. 5. Added Trinity support to Desktop section, this had at least two different detection methods, but since the first just shows KDE original data, only the second one proved to be Trinity specific. Happily, the full data is available, toolkit, desktop version, and wm (Twin). 6. New -G,-A,-R -xxx feature: vendor:. Note that vendor data is very bloated and messy so it's trimmed down substantially, using a series of filters and rules, and thus it can contain the following: the actual vendor, like Dell, nothing, the motherboard vendor/product for board based PCI items, or a complete vendor/product string if it's unique. I couldn't think of a clean field name that meant: vendor OR vendor + basic product info OR motherboard + board version OR full product name, including vendor, so in the end, I just used vendor: but it's not quite the right term, but nothing else seemed to work better. Testers responded very enthusiastically about this feature so I guess the vendor: name is ok. Changes: 1. Biggest change: Drives: HDD: total: the HDD: is now changed to: Local Storage: This was part of issue #153 and is a good suggestion because HDD generally was used to refer to hard disks, spinning, but with nvme, m.2, ssd, etc, that term is a bit dated. 'Local' is because inxi does not include detected remote storage in the totals. 2. The recent --wm option which forced ps as data source for window manager detection has been reversed, now --wm forces wmctrl and ps aux is preferred. Still falls back to wm ctrl in case the ps test is null, this is better because I have to add the wm data manually for each one, whereas wmctrl has an unknown set and probably variable set of wm. Note that I reversed this because I saw several cases where wmctrl was wrong, and reported a generic source wm instead of the real one. Since most uses are not going to even be aware of the wm: feature as enhanced with --wm switch, this should have no impact on users in general. Since the detected wm name needs to be know to get assigned to wm: and wm version data, I think it will work better to have the known variants match with the wm data values, then just fallback to unknown ones that can get fille in over time as we find wm that people actually use and that you can get version info on and detect. Removed: 1. Got rid of tests for GTK compiled with version for many desktops, that test was always wrong because it did not have any necessary relation to the actual gtk version the desktop was built out of, and it also almost always returned no data. Since this is an expensive and slow test, and is always going to be wrong or empty anyway, I've removed it. My tests showed it taking about 300ms or so to generate no data, heh. That's the tk: feature in -S. Note I also found that gnome-shell takes an absurdly long time to give --version info, the slowest of all such things, 300ms again, just to show version? Someone should fix that, there's no possible reason why it should take 300 milliseconds to give a simple version string. Note that this returns tk: to only returning real data, which in this case means only xfce, kde, and trinity, which are the only desktops that actually report their toolkit data. I'll probably remove that code in the future unless I can think of some real use for gtk version elsewhere, but it's just junk data which doesn't even work. In the future, I will not try to emulate or guess at desktop toolkits, either they show the data in a direct form like XFCE or Trinity or KDE do, or I won't waste resources and execution time making bad guesses using inefficient code and logic. QT desktops like LXQt I'm leaving in because I believe those will tend to track more closely the QT version on the system, and the tests for QT version aren't huge ugly hacks the way they are for GTK, so they aren't as slow or intrusive, but those may also get removed since they almost never work either. But they are also slowing down the -Sx process so maybe they should be removed as well, I'll think about it. Since they only are used on LXQt and razer-qt, it probably isn't a big deal overall.

(init type/version, runlevel).
New version, new man. Fixes, stitches, and returns!! Bugs: 1. As a fix (3), failure to handle spaces in mount source names. More of a fix than a bug, since it was an old issue #63. 2. OSX errors, BSD errors, but not really inxi errors or bugs, more weird data tripping null data or unreadable file errors, but I'll call those bugs since they look like bugs to end users. See Fixes for more. 3. See Fix 4, this is sort of a bug, inxi failed to return expected values on success/failure. Fixes: 1. One of the documented config items, COLS_MAX_NO_DISPLAY had not been implemented internally. This is now corrected. 2. Apple OSX was returning errors, those were fixed. 3. Finally handled ancient issue #63, support now there for spaces in remote source name. This means that both spaces in source block name, and mount point name, are in theory both handled now. This was also to fix an osx issue #164 despite the fact that technically I do not support osx beyond fixing errors, but since in this case the issue was a long standing one, I fixed it for everything. 4. Big fix, I'd completely left undone proper unix type error number returns in inxi, oops. Thanks Unit193 for noticing that and prompting me to fix it. Now inxi returns integer success/error numbers as expected. 5. OSX xml based version info broke, of course, naturally it would, so I added in an osx fallback where if no distro version detected, use fallback unix method, which is what all the other unices use. 6. Along with space in source name, fixed mapped handling a bit more too for partitions. 6. Added cifs remote file system to disk size used blacklist, and iso9660. Not sure how I'd missed those for so long. 7. OpenBSD vmstat in 6.3 changed the column order for avm/fre, and changed to a, sigh, human readable default format, in M, so to handle this for all bsds, I had to make a dynamic column detection for avm and fre, and use those after, and also i had to add in a M detection, if found, *1024 and strip out M, sigh. 8. OpenBSD, another alternate ordering/syntax issue, the dmesg.boot data for disks does not always use the same order in comma separated list, saw user case where the first item after : was the MB size, not the second. Made detection dynamic. 9. Due to Android case, found types where no cpu speed data was found, no max speed at least, which tripped an error due to null data for ARM, this is now handled, now cpu speed min/max read permissions in /sys are checked first before trying to read, and default failures are better handled. 10. On man page, added in clarification of the moving of Memory: item from Info: line to ram Memory: line, explaining when it appears where. I do not removing the item from -I, I may revert that change, I find it non-intuitive to move that around. Enhancements: 1. Added display manager Ly, plus Ly version number. Thanks NamedKitten, this closes issues #166 #165 #162 2. Improved documentation a bit to avoid ambiguity re how to get colors in output. That handles issue #161, thanks fugo for the nudge to improve the documentation. 3. First inxi on Android tests, using termux, which has a debian based apt type installer, got inxi running on at least two devices, including pixel2, but discovered that apparently as of android 5, /sys is now locked up in terms of wildcard reads, but further analysis is required, but as of now, inxi works in termux, but fails to get any Device data for A, G, or N. Thus it also fails to match IF to Device, so none of the IP data shows up. The latter will probably be fixed since Android has ip and ifconfig already, or termux does, but so far I found no way to get device data for ARM in Android 5.x and greater (checked on android 7 and 9 in real phones). 4. More disk vendors!! thanks linuxlite / linux hardware database for offering an apparently never ending list of obscure and not so obscure disk vendors and products. 5. While I was unable to get confirmation or documentation on file names for tce repo files, I guessed that localmirrors would be used, but this may be any random text file in /opt at all, no extensions, I'd have to test to confirm or deny possible values. 6. To handle more complex debugger failures, added --debug-no-proc, --debug-no-exit, to skip or enable completion where proc or sys debugger is hanging. Changes: 1. Changed vendor in A, G, and N to -x, not -xxx, this data seems much more useful and reliable than I'd first expected when I made the feature, the -xxx was more an indication of my lack of trust in the method and source, but so far it seems pretty good, so I bumped it up to an -x option. Note that also, it's quite useful to know the vendor of, say, your network or graphics card, not just the actual device internal data, which is all inxi has ever shown previously. 2. Small change, if no partition type data is found, dev, remote, mapped, default now says 'source:' instead of 'dev:' which makes more sense. Note that df calls that column 'source', so I decided to go with their language for the default not found case. Also changed mapped to say mapped. This was part of a bit of a refactor of the partition type logic, enhanced by adding mapped to existing types, and moved the entire type detection block into the main data generator, and out of the data line constructor. Optimizations: 1. Tested, and dumped, List::Util first() as a possible way to speed up grep searches of arrays, where the goal is just to see if something is in an array. My expectation was that first(), returning the first found instance of the search term, would of course be faster since it will always exit the search loop was met with the sad fact that first() is about 2 to 4 times SLOWER than grep() native builtin. I tested this fairly carefully, and used NYTProf optimizer tool and the results were totally consistent, first() was always much slower than grep(), no matter what size the array is. I assume this means the core C programming that makes grep is simply much better than the File::Util module programming that makes first(). Removed first() and now know that nothing will be faster than grep so no need to look there for speed improvements. The moral of the story: just because something should in theory be faster, does sadly not mean it will be faster, for there are bigger things at work, skill of the programmers who made the logic, how perl handles external vs internal tools, and so on. As an aside, this forms a fairly consistent pattern where I've found Perl by itself to be faster than modules in many cases, that is, it's faster to write the code out than to use a module in many cases that I have tested, so I will always test such ideas and dump every one that is in fact slower than native Perl builtins.

This broke CPU temp detection and showed way too high cpu temp, so this fix is fairly important since new kernels may have this new sensors hwmon syntax. 4. Sensors: IPMI alternate syntax found, also case with no data in expected columns, just N/A, so now the ipmi sensor logic skips all lines with non numeric values in the values column. This is what it should have done all along, it was trusting that values would always exist for the field names it looks for. Fixes: 1. ARM networking fix. ARM devices like rasberry pi that use usb bus for networking showed the no data message even though usb networking was right below it. This is corrected, and now that only shows if both main and usb networking failed for ARM. 2. Big repo fix: while testing distro and Trinity live cds, I discovered that apt is sometimes used with rpms, which made PCLinuxOS and ALT-Linux Repos item show the apt files but no data since the pattern was looking for start with deb. Added rpm to pattern, so all distros that use apt running rpms should now 'just work'. 3. Fixed more distro id things, PCLinuxOS should now show its full distro string. 4. Debugger: Filtered out more blocks of /proc, that data is bloated and messy, found another case where it collected a vast amount of junk system data from zfs in that case, just blocked the entire range. I had no idea /proc had so much junk data in it! 5. As noted above, IPMI, yet another alternate syntax for field names. My hope that IPMI software and sensors will be more logical and consistent than lm-sensors output is proving to be merely wishful thinking, I think now out of 3 datasets I've gotten, I've seen 3 variants for syntax, not to mention the ipmi-tool vs ipmi-sensors differences. So IPMI will be like all sensors stuff, a work in progress, to be updated with every newly discovered alternate syntax and data set. Enhancements: 1. Disk vendors, added some, improved pattern detections for others. This feature is getting better all the time. Thanks linuxlite hw db, easy to scan for missing vendors in their inxi data. 2. Added more wm, budgie-wm, mwm, variants of kwin and Trinity's Twin, several others, more refactoring of core wm/desktop code. 3. Added gpu ram and reworked memory logic for rasberry pi, which is the only SBC I am aware of that uses that tool. Now reports the actual total, and also gpu: for ram data, so you can tell that the gpu is using part of the total. Again, this comes from issue #153. Also added that info to man page for -I part. 4. Added more ARM and PCI cleaners for neater and more concise ARM/PCI output. 5. Added Trinity support to Desktop section, this had at least two different detection methods, but since the first just shows KDE original data, only the second one proved to be Trinity specific. Happily, the full data is available, toolkit, desktop version, and wm (Twin). 6. New -G,-A,-R -xxx feature: vendor:. Note that vendor data is very bloated and messy so it's trimmed down substantially, using a series of filters and rules, and thus it can contain the following: the actual vendor, like Dell, nothing, the motherboard vendor/product for board based PCI items, or a complete vendor/product string if it's unique. I couldn't think of a clean field name that meant: vendor OR vendor + basic product info OR motherboard + board version OR full product name, including vendor, so in the end, I just used vendor: but it's not quite the right term, but nothing else seemed to work better. Testers responded very enthusiastically about this feature so I guess the vendor: name is ok. Changes: 1. Biggest change: Drives: HDD: total: the HDD: is now changed to: Local Storage: This was part of issue #153 and is a good suggestion because HDD generally was used to refer to hard disks, spinning, but with nvme, m.2, ssd, etc, that term is a bit dated. 'Local' is because inxi does not include detected remote storage in the totals. 2. The recent --wm option which forced ps as data source for window manager detection has been reversed, now --wm forces wmctrl and ps aux is preferred. Still falls back to wm ctrl in case the ps test is null, this is better because I have to add the wm data manually for each one, whereas wmctrl has an unknown set and probably variable set of wm. Note that I reversed this because I saw several cases where wmctrl was wrong, and reported a generic source wm instead of the real one. Since most uses are not going to even be aware of the wm: feature as enhanced with --wm switch, this should have no impact on users in general. Since the detected wm name needs to be know to get assigned to wm: and wm version data, I think it will work better to have the known variants match with the wm data values, then just fallback to unknown ones that can get fille in over time as we find wm that people actually use and that you can get version info on and detect. Removed: 1. Got rid of tests for GTK compiled with version for many desktops, that test was always wrong because it did not have any necessary relation to the actual gtk version the desktop was built out of, and it also almost always returned no data. Since this is an expensive and slow test, and is always going to be wrong or empty anyway, I've removed it. My tests showed it taking about 300ms or so to generate no data, heh. That's the tk: feature in -S. Note I also found that gnome-shell takes an absurdly long time to give --version info, the slowest of all such things, 300ms again, just to show version? Someone should fix that, there's no possible reason why it should take 300 milliseconds to give a simple version string. Note that this returns tk: to only returning real data, which in this case means only xfce, kde, and trinity, which are the only desktops that actually report their toolkit data. I'll probably remove that code in the future unless I can think of some real use for gtk version elsewhere, but it's just junk data which doesn't even work. In the future, I will not try to emulate or guess at desktop toolkits, either they show the data in a direct form like XFCE or Trinity or KDE do, or I won't waste resources and execution time making bad guesses using inefficient code and logic. QT desktops like LXQt I'm leaving in because I believe those will tend to track more closely the QT version on the system, and the tests for QT version aren't huge ugly hacks the way they are for GTK, so they aren't as slow or intrusive, but those may also get removed since they almost never work either. But they are also slowing down the -Sx process so maybe they should be removed as well, I'll think about it. Since they only are used on LXQt and razer-qt, it probably isn't a big deal overall.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

New version, new man. Fixes, stitches, and returns!! Bugs: 1. As a fix (3), failure to handle spaces in mount source names. More of a fix than a bug, since it was an old issue #63. 2. OSX errors, BSD errors, but not really inxi errors or bugs, more weird data tripping null data or unreadable file errors, but I'll call those bugs since they look like bugs to end users. See Fixes for more. 3. See Fix 4, this is sort of a bug, inxi failed to return expected values on success/failure. Fixes: 1. One of the documented config items, COLS_MAX_NO_DISPLAY had not been implemented internally. This is now corrected. 2. Apple OSX was returning errors, those were fixed. 3. Finally handled ancient issue #63, support now there for spaces in remote source name. This means that both spaces in source block name, and mount point name, are in theory both handled now. This was also to fix an osx issue #164 despite the fact that technically I do not support osx beyond fixing errors, but since in this case the issue was a long standing one, I fixed it for everything. 4. Big fix, I'd completely left undone proper unix type error number returns in inxi, oops. Thanks Unit193 for noticing that and prompting me to fix it. Now inxi returns integer success/error numbers as expected. 5. OSX xml based version info broke, of course, naturally it would, so I added in an osx fallback where if no distro version detected, use fallback unix method, which is what all the other unices use. 6. Along with space in source name, fixed mapped handling a bit more too for partitions. 6. Added cifs remote file system to disk size used blacklist, and iso9660. Not sure how I'd missed those for so long. 7. OpenBSD vmstat in 6.3 changed the column order for avm/fre, and changed to a, sigh, human readable default format, in M, so to handle this for all bsds, I had to make a dynamic column detection for avm and fre, and use those after, and also i had to add in a M detection, if found, *1024 and strip out M, sigh. 8. OpenBSD, another alternate ordering/syntax issue, the dmesg.boot data for disks does not always use the same order in comma separated list, saw user case where the first item after : was the MB size, not the second. Made detection dynamic. 9. Due to Android case, found types where no cpu speed data was found, no max speed at least, which tripped an error due to null data for ARM, this is now handled, now cpu speed min/max read permissions in /sys are checked first before trying to read, and default failures are better handled. 10. On man page, added in clarification of the moving of Memory: item from Info: line to ram Memory: line, explaining when it appears where. I do not removing the item from -I, I may revert that change, I find it non-intuitive to move that around. Enhancements: 1. Added display manager Ly, plus Ly version number. Thanks NamedKitten, this closes issues #166 #165 #162 2. Improved documentation a bit to avoid ambiguity re how to get colors in output. That handles issue #161, thanks fugo for the nudge to improve the documentation. 3. First inxi on Android tests, using termux, which has a debian based apt type installer, got inxi running on at least two devices, including pixel2, but discovered that apparently as of android 5, /sys is now locked up in terms of wildcard reads, but further analysis is required, but as of now, inxi works in termux, but fails to get any Device data for A, G, or N. Thus it also fails to match IF to Device, so none of the IP data shows up. The latter will probably be fixed since Android has ip and ifconfig already, or termux does, but so far I found no way to get device data for ARM in Android 5.x and greater (checked on android 7 and 9 in real phones). 4. More disk vendors!! thanks linuxlite / linux hardware database for offering an apparently never ending list of obscure and not so obscure disk vendors and products. 5. While I was unable to get confirmation or documentation on file names for tce repo files, I guessed that localmirrors would be used, but this may be any random text file in /opt at all, no extensions, I'd have to test to confirm or deny possible values. 6. To handle more complex debugger failures, added --debug-no-proc, --debug-no-exit, to skip or enable completion where proc or sys debugger is hanging. Changes: 1. Changed vendor in A, G, and N to -x, not -xxx, this data seems much more useful and reliable than I'd first expected when I made the feature, the -xxx was more an indication of my lack of trust in the method and source, but so far it seems pretty good, so I bumped it up to an -x option. Note that also, it's quite useful to know the vendor of, say, your network or graphics card, not just the actual device internal data, which is all inxi has ever shown previously. 2. Small change, if no partition type data is found, dev, remote, mapped, default now says 'source:' instead of 'dev:' which makes more sense. Note that df calls that column 'source', so I decided to go with their language for the default not found case. Also changed mapped to say mapped. This was part of a bit of a refactor of the partition type logic, enhanced by adding mapped to existing types, and moved the entire type detection block into the main data generator, and out of the data line constructor. Optimizations: 1. Tested, and dumped, List::Util first() as a possible way to speed up grep searches of arrays, where the goal is just to see if something is in an array. My expectation was that first(), returning the first found instance of the search term, would of course be faster since it will always exit the search loop was met with the sad fact that first() is about 2 to 4 times SLOWER than grep() native builtin. I tested this fairly carefully, and used NYTProf optimizer tool and the results were totally consistent, first() was always much slower than grep(), no matter what size the array is. I assume this means the core C programming that makes grep is simply much better than the File::Util module programming that makes first(). Removed first() and now know that nothing will be faster than grep so no need to look there for speed improvements. The moral of the story: just because something should in theory be faster, does sadly not mean it will be faster, for there are bigger things at work, skill of the programmers who made the logic, how perl handles external vs internal tools, and so on. As an aside, this forms a fairly consistent pattern where I've found Perl by itself to be faster than modules in many cases, that is, it's faster to write the code out than to use a module in many cases that I have tested, so I will always test such ideas and dump every one that is in fact slower than native Perl builtins.

dmidecode to read \fB/dev/mem\fR as user. \fBspeed\fR and \fBbus width\fR will not
show if \fBNo Module Installed\fR is found in \fBsize\fR.
New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

New version, new man. Fixes, stitches, and returns!! Bugs: 1. As a fix (3), failure to handle spaces in mount source names. More of a fix than a bug, since it was an old issue #63. 2. OSX errors, BSD errors, but not really inxi errors or bugs, more weird data tripping null data or unreadable file errors, but I'll call those bugs since they look like bugs to end users. See Fixes for more. 3. See Fix 4, this is sort of a bug, inxi failed to return expected values on success/failure. Fixes: 1. One of the documented config items, COLS_MAX_NO_DISPLAY had not been implemented internally. This is now corrected. 2. Apple OSX was returning errors, those were fixed. 3. Finally handled ancient issue #63, support now there for spaces in remote source name. This means that both spaces in source block name, and mount point name, are in theory both handled now. This was also to fix an osx issue #164 despite the fact that technically I do not support osx beyond fixing errors, but since in this case the issue was a long standing one, I fixed it for everything. 4. Big fix, I'd completely left undone proper unix type error number returns in inxi, oops. Thanks Unit193 for noticing that and prompting me to fix it. Now inxi returns integer success/error numbers as expected. 5. OSX xml based version info broke, of course, naturally it would, so I added in an osx fallback where if no distro version detected, use fallback unix method, which is what all the other unices use. 6. Along with space in source name, fixed mapped handling a bit more too for partitions. 6. Added cifs remote file system to disk size used blacklist, and iso9660. Not sure how I'd missed those for so long. 7. OpenBSD vmstat in 6.3 changed the column order for avm/fre, and changed to a, sigh, human readable default format, in M, so to handle this for all bsds, I had to make a dynamic column detection for avm and fre, and use those after, and also i had to add in a M detection, if found, *1024 and strip out M, sigh. 8. OpenBSD, another alternate ordering/syntax issue, the dmesg.boot data for disks does not always use the same order in comma separated list, saw user case where the first item after : was the MB size, not the second. Made detection dynamic. 9. Due to Android case, found types where no cpu speed data was found, no max speed at least, which tripped an error due to null data for ARM, this is now handled, now cpu speed min/max read permissions in /sys are checked first before trying to read, and default failures are better handled. 10. On man page, added in clarification of the moving of Memory: item from Info: line to ram Memory: line, explaining when it appears where. I do not removing the item from -I, I may revert that change, I find it non-intuitive to move that around. Enhancements: 1. Added display manager Ly, plus Ly version number. Thanks NamedKitten, this closes issues #166 #165 #162 2. Improved documentation a bit to avoid ambiguity re how to get colors in output. That handles issue #161, thanks fugo for the nudge to improve the documentation. 3. First inxi on Android tests, using termux, which has a debian based apt type installer, got inxi running on at least two devices, including pixel2, but discovered that apparently as of android 5, /sys is now locked up in terms of wildcard reads, but further analysis is required, but as of now, inxi works in termux, but fails to get any Device data for A, G, or N. Thus it also fails to match IF to Device, so none of the IP data shows up. The latter will probably be fixed since Android has ip and ifconfig already, or termux does, but so far I found no way to get device data for ARM in Android 5.x and greater (checked on android 7 and 9 in real phones). 4. More disk vendors!! thanks linuxlite / linux hardware database for offering an apparently never ending list of obscure and not so obscure disk vendors and products. 5. While I was unable to get confirmation or documentation on file names for tce repo files, I guessed that localmirrors would be used, but this may be any random text file in /opt at all, no extensions, I'd have to test to confirm or deny possible values. 6. To handle more complex debugger failures, added --debug-no-proc, --debug-no-exit, to skip or enable completion where proc or sys debugger is hanging. Changes: 1. Changed vendor in A, G, and N to -x, not -xxx, this data seems much more useful and reliable than I'd first expected when I made the feature, the -xxx was more an indication of my lack of trust in the method and source, but so far it seems pretty good, so I bumped it up to an -x option. Note that also, it's quite useful to know the vendor of, say, your network or graphics card, not just the actual device internal data, which is all inxi has ever shown previously. 2. Small change, if no partition type data is found, dev, remote, mapped, default now says 'source:' instead of 'dev:' which makes more sense. Note that df calls that column 'source', so I decided to go with their language for the default not found case. Also changed mapped to say mapped. This was part of a bit of a refactor of the partition type logic, enhanced by adding mapped to existing types, and moved the entire type detection block into the main data generator, and out of the data line constructor. Optimizations: 1. Tested, and dumped, List::Util first() as a possible way to speed up grep searches of arrays, where the goal is just to see if something is in an array. My expectation was that first(), returning the first found instance of the search term, would of course be faster since it will always exit the search loop was met with the sad fact that first() is about 2 to 4 times SLOWER than grep() native builtin. I tested this fairly carefully, and used NYTProf optimizer tool and the results were totally consistent, first() was always much slower than grep(), no matter what size the array is. I assume this means the core C programming that makes grep is simply much better than the File::Util module programming that makes first(). Removed first() and now know that nothing will be faster than grep so no need to look there for speed improvements. The moral of the story: just because something should in theory be faster, does sadly not mean it will be faster, for there are bigger things at work, skill of the programmers who made the logic, how perl handles external vs internal tools, and so on. As an aside, this forms a fairly consistent pattern where I've found Perl by itself to be faster than modules in many cases, that is, it's faster to write the code out than to use a module in many cases that I have tested, so I will always test such ideas and dump every one that is in fact slower than native Perl builtins.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

Because \fBdmidecode\fR data is extremely unreliable, inxi will try to make best guesses.
If you see \fB(check)\fR after the capacity number, you should check it with the
specifications. \fB(est)\fR is slightly more reliable, but you should still check
the real specifications before buying RAM. Unfortunately there is nothing \fBinxi\fR
New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

users will have either a wrong max module size, if present, or max capacity.
New version, many small fixes. And a hall of shame, LOL. Bugs: 1. Issue #188 exposed a situation in glxinfo where the required opengl fields are present but contain null data. This happens when a system does not have the required opengl drivers, which was the case here. inxi failed to handle that. Thanks LinuxMonger for posting the required data to figure this corner case out. 2. Fixed a long time bug in Disk vendor ID, there was an eq (string equals) where it was supposed to use regex pattern match. Oops. Would have led to disk vendor id failures in several cases. Fixes: 1. help, man updates for RAM/Memory data, more clarifications. 2. Refactored RepoData class/package, to make it easier to handle repo string data, and make it all overall cleaner internally, and enable future extensions to certain features in inxi that may or may not one day become active. 3. Added to some regex compares \Q$VAR\E to disable regex characters in strings. I should have used that a long time ago, oh well, better late than never! 4. Found a horrible case were xdpyinfo uses 'preferred' instead of the actual pixel dimensions, shame on whoever allowed that output!!! shame! Had to add a workaround to make sure numeric values are present, if not, then use the fallback, which means, 2x more data parsing to get data that should not require that, but in this example, it did (an Arch derivative, but it could be xdpyinfo itself, don't know)> Enhancements: 1. More fixes on issue #185. Thanks tubecleaner for finding and provding required data to really solve a set of RAM issues that apply particularly in production systems. This issue report led to 2 new options: --memory-short, which only shows a basic RAM report. Memory: RAM: total: 31.43 GiB used: 14.98 GiB (47.7%) Report: arrays: 1 slots: 4 modules: 2 type: DDR4 And a 2nd, --memory-modules, only shows the occupied slots. This can be useful in situations where it's a server or vm with a lot of slots, most empty: Memory: RAM: total: 31.43 GiB used: 15.44 GiB (49.1%) Array-1: capacity: 256 GiB slots: 4 EC: None Device-1: DIMM 1 size: 16 GiB speed: 2400 MT/s Device-2: DIMM 1 size: 16 GiB speed: 2400 MT/s Note that both of these options trigger -m, so -m itself is not required. 2. More disk vendors!! The list never ends! Thanks linux-lite hardware database and users for supplying, and buying/obtaining, apparently every disk known to mankind. 3. Added fallback XFCE detection, in cases were the system does not have xprop installed, it's still possible to do a full detection of xfce, including toolkit, so now inxi does that, one less dependency to detect one more desktop. 4. Added vmwgfx driver to xorg drivers list. Note, I've never actually seen this in the wild, but I did see it as the kernel reported driver from lspci, so it may exist. Unfixed: 1. Issue #187 EnochTheWise (?) did not supply the required debugger data so there is a RAID ZFS issue that will not get fixed until the required debugger data is supplied. Please do not waste all our time filing an issue if you have no intention of actually following through so we can get it fixed. Note that a key way we get issues here is from Perl errors on the screen, which are a frequent cause of someone realizing something is wrong. This is why I'm not going to do a hack fix for the RAID ZFS issue, then the error messages will go away, and it will likely never get handled. For examples of good, useful, productive issue reports, and how to do them right: #188 and #185, both of which led to good improvements in how inxi handles corner cases in those areas.

New version, new tarball, new man page. Finally, after all these years, initial memory/ram support. This feature requires dmidecode, and usually that needs to be run as root. Significantly improved dmidecode error handling and output, and have as 2.1.90 testing/initial release basic ram data. In subsequent releases, extra info for -x and -xx and -xxx will be added as well to the output. For those who want to jump on board early for ram data, update your repos, for those who want to wait for the full featured version, with -x type data, wait for 2.2.0 And that's that.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

Show basic Partition information.
New version, new man. Fixes, glitches, and stitches! Fixed some subtle and not subtle issues that I've noticed recently. Bugs: 1. The color scheme selector failed to remove the global value when a non global setting was used. This led to global values never getting removed, even though the text output said it would be, which is confusing, obviously, and always overriding the color selected. Thanks CentOS for helping find that one. Fixes: 1. Fixed possible corrupted user inxi.conf values. Now skips null values, and fully validates as integer integer values. 2. Fixed fvwm-crystal detections, integrated it into new refactored desktop logic. 3. For systems without glxinfo or running inxi out of gui/desktop, Xorg was in many cases failing to show version, which made it not show anything for server: except N/A. This is caused by a relatively recent change in behaviors in xorg, where you have to run it directly from it's true path, which is something like /usr/lib/xorg or /usr/lib/server-xorg at which point the error: /usr/lib/xorg-server/Xorg.wrap: Only console users are allowed to run the X server Figuring this out was tricky, and who the heck knows why Xorg -version would even return such a silly error in the first place, but there you have it. Next time you wonder why inxi is so long, this is why, endless churn in basic and complex things! The fix is injecting the optional xorg paths into @paths right before, and removing them right after, which avoids adding clutter to the @paths. 4. A ZFS fix, I'd noticed this one a while back, but after looking at the zfs Ubuntu tutorial page, I realized that this is the norm now, which is building zfs with /dev/sda (no partitions). This lead to failing to detect the zfs components, and reporting a bunch of partitions as unmounted which were part of that /dev/sdb type component array. By allowing /dev/sd[a-z] I fixed both errors at the same time, but I don't know if this syntax extends to say, nvme zfs as well. Note that when you build zfs arrays with say, /dev/sdb /dev/sdc you'll see two partitions per disk, /dev/sdx1 which is the main data, and /dev/sdx2, which is a tiny 8mB partition, no idea what it's for. 5. Fixed missing konversation and hexchat version numbers in -I, finally found what was going on there. Note that hexchat --version used to pop up a gui, but I guess he finally fixed that, I am hoping. 6. Fixed some gentoo repo detections, but also found more variants. Not sure what exactly is going on with repos there, will wait for gentoo user issue reports to really lock those down. 7. BSD fixes, turns out FreeBSD uses that same map ... syntax in df -kT as OSX... Also made sure to load sysctl data for -S row, I'd forgotten about the compiler test there which needs that data. 8. Fixed herbstluftwm version detection, turns out it's another one of those that passes the entire path to the version program, so it shows: /sbin/herbsuftwm 0.22.0 which broke the regex, easy fix. 9. Completed refactoring of DesktopData, now it's all data array driven for most wm, desktops, etc, which makes adding/removing one very easy. All core data is now in program_values to allow for automated detections. Enhancements: 1. With fix 1, added check_int and check_number utilities, these validate that inxi internal numeric or integer values actually are what they are supposed to be. This uses a neat Perl trick that makse the checks super fast and super accurate. Moved all internal int/numeric test regex to use these. 2. Added file based version number detection, that was done for Deepin, which uses /etc/deepin-version for its version number, but it can be used for anything. 3. Added Deepin and deepin window managers, Lumina, added bspwm wm, fixed muffin detections. Note that lumina has a weird behavior where when run outside of pinxi, it outputs to stdout, but inside of pinxi, to stderr, who the heck knows how that happens! 4. Added zorin to supported base: distros. 5. Even more disk vendors added! The list of no-name off brand chinese ssd vendors appears to be endless! Added some more specific ids to capture unique strings that can be linked to a vendor. 6. Added /usr/home to default -P paths, that's used instead of /home in the real world, so why not show it? 7. Because qt detection is possible, I've extended qt toolkit detection, but it's also not super accurate, but it's far better than gtk tk was, so I'm leaving that in. I also extended it to more wm/desktops since more are using qt now. Note: budgie 11 is going to be qt, but there's no way to distinguish between 11 and gtk 10 without doing a bunch of hacks so I'm leaving that alone. 8. Found a possible distro id source, added /etc/calamares detections to debugger, I'll see if that shows some consistent patterns before I implement a last fallback test for distro IDs. It may work. Removed: 1. Giving up on fake/slow/inaccurate GTK toolkit detections, removed the entire codeblock and stored in docs/inxi-fragments.txt, but I'm not going to do package manager type version tests anymore, if we can't get the data directly from a program or file, it's not going to happen, plus the gtk installed on the system means nothing in relation to the gtk version used to build the desktop.

Shows, if detected: \fB/ /boot /home /opt /tmp /usr /usr/home /var /var/tmp /var/log\fR.
New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Fixes, a few changes, enhancements. Fixes: 1. Removed /dev/zram type data from swap partitions, since that's ram, it's not a partition, obviously. 2. More alternate IPMI syntax found, that's clearly going to take a while to have most syntaxes handled. 3. Small lm-sensors adjustment, fringe cases might scramble up hwmon and gpu temps, this is now handled. Enhancements: 1. Added disk vendors, udinfo. 2. Exciting! New Architecture: MIPS! First datasets, confirmed working. This led to more abstracting of the previously ARM specific logic to be for SOC in general. 3. Related to 2, added in fallback busybox cases for partition data without fs. 4. Added window managers, xmonad, ratpoison, 9dm, gala (for Pantheon), notion, windowlab 5. Added Pantheon desktop detection. Note, unable to find a way to get version number. 6. IMPI sensors: added in psu fans, dimm temp. 7. New -Cxxx option: cpu boost (aka turbo), state enabled / disabled, only shows if system has that option. Changes: 1. Made toolkit for -S be -xx instead of -x, only Trinity/KDE and XFCE have that data.

New version, new man page. Bugs: 1. Both a fix and a bug, in that inxi had an out of date list of Xorg drivers. This led to all the newer Intel devices failing to show their drivers in the Xorg driver lines, like i915, i965, and so on. Updated to full current list of Xorg drivers. This is not technically a bug since it's simply things that came into existence after that logic was last updated. But it looks like a bug. Fixes: 1. Issues #170 and #168 showed a problem with inxi believing it was running in IRC when Ansible or MOTD started inxi. This is because they are not tty so trip the non tty flag, which assumes it's in IRC in that case. The fix was to add a whitelist of known clients based on the parent name inxi discovers while running inside that parent. MOTD confirmed fixed, Ansible not confirmed. Why do people file issue reports then not follow them? Who knows. Note that this issue is easy to trip by simply doing this: echo 'fred' | inxi which disables the tty test as well. To handle that scenario, that is, when inxi is not first in the pipe, I added many known terminal client names to the whitelists. This works in my tests, though the possible terminals, or programs with embedded terminals, is quite large, but inxi handles most of them automatically. When it doesn't, file an issue and I'll add your client ID to the whitelist, and use --tty in the meantime. 2. Issue #171 by Vascom finally pinned down the wide character issue which manifests in some character sets, like greek or russian utf8. The fix was more of a work-around than a true fix, but inxi now simply checks the weather local time output for wide characters, and if detected, switches the local date/time format to iso standard, which is does not contain non ascii characters as far as I can tell. This seemed to fix the issue. 3. Added iso9660 from excluded file systems for partitions, not sure how inxi missed that one for so long. 4. See bug 1, expanded and made current supported intel drivers, and a few other drivers, so now inxi has all the supported xorg drivers again. Updated docs as well to indicate where to get that data. Enhancements: 1. As usual, more disk vendor/product ID matches, thanks to linuxlite hardware database, which never stops providing new or previously unseen disk ids. Latest favorite? Swissarmy knife maker victorinox Swissflash usb device. 2. Added Elive system base ID. 3. Added Nutyx CARDS repo type.

\fBCARDS\fR (NuTyX + derived versions)
New version, new man. Big update, corrects many small typos, adds some good new features. So now inxi and pinxi will grab the inxi.1 or pinxi.1 man file and install it on systems that do not have -U blocked. The -U block of course remains the same. New features: 1. now does not require root or 'file' to get unmounted fs type. Also, for many mounted partitions, rather than showing the meaningless fuseblock it will usually get the filesystem right. 2. -U now works with optional --man option to download man page for pinxi and -U 3 dev server updates. This gets around the fact I had to remove the gz files from master to get the size small enough to make maintainers happy. Non branch inxi master works as before, updates both from github or from dev server, depending on your selection. 3. Thanks very much to the people who have been contributing in a positve way, helping to make inxi better. The untold number of small and large new features, small glitches, etc, that have been fixed this week are simply too many too list. Many to most were inxi bugs or weaknesses, now corrected. 4. binxi branch has now been made fully operational, though I do not plan on doing any work beyond the mothballing of that venerable program (gawk->bash inxi), it's fully operational, it updates, it gets its man page, but all as binxi, so you can, as with pinxi, run all of them separately. This officially terminates my support for Gawk/Bash inxi, which can be found as binxi in the inxi-legacy branch. 5. pinxi has been promoted to permanent development branch, where bug fixes, new features, etc, will be tested, along with man page updates etc. This will help reduce the number of commits to master branch. 6. Audio / Network usb cards now show the true driver(s). There are often more than one for audio, that's a nice enancement. 7. inxi outputs to json / xml, which will probably interest some developers eventually, well it already did, that was going to wait, but someone wanted it. 8. Apt repo handler now supports DEB822 format, which is not an easy format to parse. ========================================================== MAINTAINERS: Note the following: despite my strong dislike for tags, every commit that touches either inxi or inxi.1 man page will be tagged if I think they would be something relevant to distro packagers. While github insists on calling my tags releases, I want to be crystal clear: inxi has one and only one 'release', the current master branch version. The tagged commits that github calls releases are NOT releases, they are just tagged commits. The version I release tomorrow will be the current master, and all previous versions will be obsolete and will not be supported. The .gz files have been removed from the master branch history, thus shrinking it a lot. I have removed for this reason the master-plain branch, which mirrored master and provided a gz free branch, but apparently this was simply ignored so there's no reason to keep it going. If you insist on grabbing all the branches and find more data in there, then please correct your practices, you are only getting the data from the master branch. inxi is rolling release software and has no releases, so the tags are supposed to create some illusion that a tag actually means something. Since it doesn't, I decided to take the path of least resistance and just add an auto tagging tool to my commit scripts and use it when it seems appropriate, like on this commit. All development work now will happen via the pinxi branch, so that makes the process a lot cleaner, since I can now basically beta test all new commmits to master. pinxi and binxi are both standalone versions of inxi, they have their own config and data directories, config files, man pages, etc. ----------------------------------------------------- New Perl inxi is already way ahead of Gawk/Bash inxi, more features, more accurate, and most bugs being fixed now are because a lot of people are contributing eyes and testing, and are finding stuff that was wrong, or simply missing, on old inxi as well as on Perl inxi. Fixes to Perl inxi (>2.9) will not be rolled into to binxi since the entire reason I spent over 4 months on this project was to never have to touch Gawk/Bash inxi again. Most imporant, however, is that the simple fact was, Gawk/Bash inxi has been nearly impossible to work on despite my following rigorous practices in coding, and I simply won't work with that type of stuff anymore. Perl 5.x is a true delight in comparison, and makes adding new features, enhancing others, far easier, or even possible, where it wasn't before. On a technical level, I have tested Perl inxi heavily, and it will run on all Perl 5.x versions back to 5.008, which is the cutoff point. This was not that hard to do, which is why I picked Perl 5.x as the language. This means that you can drop, just as with binxi, Perl inxi onto a 10 year old system, or older, and it will run fine, albeit a touch slowly, but must faster than binxi. ----------------------------------------------------- So far users are really liking the new one, it's usually faster in most cases, the output is cleaner, there's more data, more options, and basically it's gotten the thumbs up from all the testers, and there have been a LOT, who have helped. I want to give a special thanks to the following distros for their exceptional support and testing: 0. the people who hang out on irc.oftc.net #smxi. Very patient, will test things with astounding patience, so thanks to them. Archerseven, iotaka and KittyKatt have been been incredibly helpful when it comes to testing and debugging, and finding corner cases that I would never have found. 1. AntiX: they were the first to beta test pinxi, and found massive numbers of bugs, and stuck with the testing for a long time. They made testing possible for the next wave of testers, my hats off to them, I've always liked them. 2. Manjaro also was very helpful, and found more issues and enhancements. 3. Ubuntu forums users found more, and helped enhance many faetures 4. Mint users have been very helpful, and were the impetus for some nifty new features, ilke switching all color codes off when output is piped or sent to file. They have reminded me of how valuable people's views can be who may not share the same tech world view as you, but are still very talented and observant individuals. 5. Slackware users provided some very thoughtful feedback, which was no surprise but welcome nonetheless, thanks. 6. Same with Debian forums, again, some very useful and constructive ideas and observations, and some very arcane and odd hardware that exposed even more corner case bugs. And several other distros were also helpful, each in their own way. Solus for example now has their package manager added in repos.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

New version, man page. Fixes, enhancements, changes. Thanks: 1. AntiX forums, for testing -C --admin, suggestions, always helpful. Bugs: 1. Added switch to set @ps_gui, I forgot case where info block was only thing that used ps_gui (Nitrux kde nomad latte case). This led to no info: data if other ps_gui switches not activated. Now each block that can use it activates it. Fixes: 1. To clarify issue #161 added help/man explanation on how to get colors in cases where you want to preserve colors for piped or redirected output. Thanks fugo. 2. LMDE 3.0 released, slightly different system base handling, so refactored to add Debian version, see enhancement 2. Tested on some old vm instances, improved old system Debian system base id, but it's empirical, distro by distro, there is no rule I can use to automatically do it, sadly. 3. 'Motherboard' sensors field name added, a few small tweaks to sensors. This was in response to issue #159, which also raised a problem I was not really aware of, user generated sensor config files, that can have totally random field names. Longer term solution, start getting data from sys to pad out lm-sensors data, or to handle cases where no lm-sensors installed. 4. Fixed kwin_11 and kwin_wayland compositor print names, I'd left out the _, which made it look strange, like there were two compositors or something. 5. Fixed latte-dock ID, I thought the program name when running was latte, not latte-dock. inxi checks for both now. Thanks Nitrux for exposing that in vm test. 6. Sensors: added in a small filter to motherboard temp, avoid values that are too high, like SYSTIN: 118 C, filters out to only use < 90 C. Very unlikely a mobo would be more than 90C unless it's a mistake or about to melt. This may correct anoymous debugger dataset report from rakasunka. Enhancements: 1. Added --admin to -v 8 and to --debugger 2x 2. Expanded system base to use Debian version tool, like the ubuntu one, that lets me match version number to codename. The ubuntu one matches code names to release dates. Added Neptune, PureOS, Sparky, Tails, to new Debian system base handler. 3. Big enhancement: --admin -C now shows a nice report on cpu vulnerabilities, and has a good error message if no data found. Report shows: Vulnerabilities: Type: [e.g. meltdown] status/mitigation: text explanation. Note: 'status' is for when no mitigation, either not applicable, or is vulnerable. 'mitigation' is when it's handled, and how. Thanks issue #160 Vascom from Fedora for that request. 4. The never-ending saga of disk vendor IDs continues. More obscure vendors, more matches to existing vendors. Thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database Changes: 1. Reordered usb output, I don't know why I had Hubs and Devices use different ordering and different -x switch priorities, that was silly, and made it hard to read. Now shows: Device/Hub: bus-id-port-id[.port-id]:device-id info: [product info] type/ports: [devices/hubs] usb: [type, speed] -x adds drivers for devices, and usb: speed is now default for devices, same as Hubs. Why I had those different is beyond me. The USB ordering is now more sensible, the various components of each matching whether hub or device. Unfixable or Won't Fix: 1. Unable to detect Nomad desktop. As far as I can tell, Nomad is only a theme applied to KDE Plasma, there is no program by that name detectable, only a reference in ps aux to a theme called nomad. 2. Nitrux system base ID will not work until they correct their /etc/os-release file. 3. Tails live cd for some inexplicable reason uses non standard /etc/os-release field names, which forces me to either do a custom detection just for them, or for them to fix this bug. I opted for ignoring it, if I let each distro break standard formats then try to work around it, the distro ID will grow to be a 1000 lines long easily. Will file distro bug reports when I find these from now on.

\fBURPMQ\fR (Mandriva, Mageia + derived versions)
New version, new man. Huge set of changes. Excitement!! Thrills! Spills? Bugs: 1. There was a missing main::is_int test that in some instances triggered error. This is corrected. 2. More of a fix, but legacy devices were not matching NIC to IF because the /sys path was not a link as it is now. I made a separate function to handle that match test so it could be more readily be worked with. Fixes: 1. Arch/Manjaro presented yet another Xorg.wrapper path, this time /usr/lib. Why? who knows. That to me is a bug, but since if it's not handled in inxi, it makes it look like inxi has a server: -G bug, I worked around it. Again. This creates the bug when you do not use the actual true path of Xorg where Xorg.wrapper complains and will not show -version data. Why move this? why use that wrapper thing? I don't know, makes no sense to me. 2. More MIPS data, thanks manjaro ARM people. This made MIPS much better, though it will certainly need more work. 3. Better ARM support, added in devicetree strings, which helps pad out the Devices IDs, albeit with very little data, but at least the devices are detected. Thanks Manjaro ARM people there again. 4. Removed Upstart init test for arm/mips/sparc devices. This test made MIPS device totally puke and die, killed networking, so since very few upstart running systems will be arm/mips devices, I decided there better safe than sorry. 5. Found another uptime syntax case, MIPS as root does not have the users item. 6. Many tweaks to SOC data generators, will catch more categories, but the lists will never be done since each device can be, and often is, random re the syntax. 7. USB networking failed to test usb type for 'network', which led to failed ids on some device strings. SOC types are now filtered through a function to create consistent device type strings for the per device tool to use to assign each to its proper @device_<type> array. 8. For pciconf/FreeBSD, cleaned up device class strings to get rid of 0x and trailing subsubclass values, this converts it into the same hex 4 item string that is used by GNU/Linux/lspci so I can apply consistent rules to all pci types, no matter what the generator source is, lspci, pcidump, pciconf, and eventually pcictl if I can get netbsd running. 9. Fixed internal --dbg counts for various features, and updated docs for that. 10. Fixed ARM / MIPS missing data messages, they were redundant. 11. Ongoing, moving excessive source comments to inxi-values.txt and inxi-data.txt. 12. Added unity-system-compositor as mir detection, who knew? I guess that was its production application name all along? Oh well. Enhancements: 1. Added basic support for OpenIndiana/Solaris/SunOS as a bsd type. Just enough to make errors not happen.-repos 2. future proofed unix/bsd detections just to avoid the unset $bsd_type of non BSD unix. 3. Added S6 init system to init tool. 4. Added OpenBSD pcidump to new DeviceData feature. Includes now <root required> message on Device-x: lines if not root. All working. 5. Fully refactored the old pci stuff to DeviceData package/class, due to adding so many types to that, it made sense to make it a single class. 6. Did the same to USBData, because of lsusb, usbdevs, and /sys usb, made sense to integrate the data grabber into one package/class 7. Added speed: item to USB:, it shows in Mb/s or Gb/s 8. Added Odroid C1/C2 handling, which is one big reason I opted to refactor the devices data logic into DeviceData. 9. Added ash shell, not sure if that detection will work, but if it does, it will show. 10. As part of the overall DeviceData refactor, I moved all per type data into dedicated arrays, like @device_graphics, @device_audio, @device_network, etc, which lets me totally dump all the per device item tests, and just check the arrays, which have already been tested for on the construction of the primary DeviceData set. Moved all per type detections into DeviceData so that is now one complete logic block, and the per type data generators don't need to know about any of that logic at all anymore. 11. Added sway, swaybar, way-cooler as window managers, info items. Not 100% positive about the --version, their docs weren't very consistent, but I think the guess should be right if their docs weren't incorrect. 12. Added vendor: item to network, not sure why I kept that off when I added vendor: to audio and graphics. It made sense at the time, but not now, so now -GNA all have vendor: if detected. 13. More device vendors!! The list never ends. Thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database, somehow you have users that manage to use every obscure usb/ssd/hdd known to humanity. 14. Big update to --admin, now has the following: A: partitions: shows 'raw size: ' of partition, this lets users see the amount of file system overhead, along with the available size as usual. B: partitions: show percent of raw in size: C: partitions: show if root, block size of partition file system. Uses blockdev --getbsz <part> D: partition: swap: show swappiness and vfs cache pressure, with (default) or (default <default value) added. This apparently can help debugging some kernel issues etc. Whatever, I'll take someone's word for that. E: Disks: show block size: logical: physical: 15. New option and configuration item: --partition-sort / PARTITION_SORT This lets users change default mount point sort order to any available ordering in the partition item. Man page and help menu show options. 16. Going along with the MIPS fixes, added basic support for OpenWRT, which uses an immensely stripped down busybox (no ps aux, for example), maybe because it only runs as root user/ not sure, anyway, took many fixes. Changes: 1. Changed usb: 1.1 to rev: 1.1 because for linux, we have the USB revision number, like 3.1. Note that this is going to be wrong for BSDs, but that's fine. 2. Changed slightly the output of Memory item, now it follows the following rules: A: if -m/--memory is triggered (> -v4, or -m) Memory line always shows in Memory: item, which makes sense. Note that -m overrides all other options of where Memory minireport could be located. B: if -tm is triggered, and -I is not triggered, Memory shows in in -tm C: if -I is triggered, and -m is not triggered, Memory: shows in -I line. D: no change in short form inxi no arg output, Memory is there.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

More will be added as distro data is collected. If yours is missing please
New version, new man. Big update, corrects many small typos, adds some good new features. So now inxi and pinxi will grab the inxi.1 or pinxi.1 man file and install it on systems that do not have -U blocked. The -U block of course remains the same. New features: 1. now does not require root or 'file' to get unmounted fs type. Also, for many mounted partitions, rather than showing the meaningless fuseblock it will usually get the filesystem right. 2. -U now works with optional --man option to download man page for pinxi and -U 3 dev server updates. This gets around the fact I had to remove the gz files from master to get the size small enough to make maintainers happy. Non branch inxi master works as before, updates both from github or from dev server, depending on your selection. 3. Thanks very much to the people who have been contributing in a positve way, helping to make inxi better. The untold number of small and large new features, small glitches, etc, that have been fixed this week are simply too many too list. Many to most were inxi bugs or weaknesses, now corrected. 4. binxi branch has now been made fully operational, though I do not plan on doing any work beyond the mothballing of that venerable program (gawk->bash inxi), it's fully operational, it updates, it gets its man page, but all as binxi, so you can, as with pinxi, run all of them separately. This officially terminates my support for Gawk/Bash inxi, which can be found as binxi in the inxi-legacy branch. 5. pinxi has been promoted to permanent development branch, where bug fixes, new features, etc, will be tested, along with man page updates etc. This will help reduce the number of commits to master branch. 6. Audio / Network usb cards now show the true driver(s). There are often more than one for audio, that's a nice enancement. 7. inxi outputs to json / xml, which will probably interest some developers eventually, well it already did, that was going to wait, but someone wanted it. 8. Apt repo handler now supports DEB822 format, which is not an easy format to parse. ========================================================== MAINTAINERS: Note the following: despite my strong dislike for tags, every commit that touches either inxi or inxi.1 man page will be tagged if I think they would be something relevant to distro packagers. While github insists on calling my tags releases, I want to be crystal clear: inxi has one and only one 'release', the current master branch version. The tagged commits that github calls releases are NOT releases, they are just tagged commits. The version I release tomorrow will be the current master, and all previous versions will be obsolete and will not be supported. The .gz files have been removed from the master branch history, thus shrinking it a lot. I have removed for this reason the master-plain branch, which mirrored master and provided a gz free branch, but apparently this was simply ignored so there's no reason to keep it going. If you insist on grabbing all the branches and find more data in there, then please correct your practices, you are only getting the data from the master branch. inxi is rolling release software and has no releases, so the tags are supposed to create some illusion that a tag actually means something. Since it doesn't, I decided to take the path of least resistance and just add an auto tagging tool to my commit scripts and use it when it seems appropriate, like on this commit. All development work now will happen via the pinxi branch, so that makes the process a lot cleaner, since I can now basically beta test all new commmits to master. pinxi and binxi are both standalone versions of inxi, they have their own config and data directories, config files, man pages, etc. ----------------------------------------------------- New Perl inxi is already way ahead of Gawk/Bash inxi, more features, more accurate, and most bugs being fixed now are because a lot of people are contributing eyes and testing, and are finding stuff that was wrong, or simply missing, on old inxi as well as on Perl inxi. Fixes to Perl inxi (>2.9) will not be rolled into to binxi since the entire reason I spent over 4 months on this project was to never have to touch Gawk/Bash inxi again. Most imporant, however, is that the simple fact was, Gawk/Bash inxi has been nearly impossible to work on despite my following rigorous practices in coding, and I simply won't work with that type of stuff anymore. Perl 5.x is a true delight in comparison, and makes adding new features, enhancing others, far easier, or even possible, where it wasn't before. On a technical level, I have tested Perl inxi heavily, and it will run on all Perl 5.x versions back to 5.008, which is the cutoff point. This was not that hard to do, which is why I picked Perl 5.x as the language. This means that you can drop, just as with binxi, Perl inxi onto a 10 year old system, or older, and it will run fine, albeit a touch slowly, but must faster than binxi. ----------------------------------------------------- So far users are really liking the new one, it's usually faster in most cases, the output is cleaner, there's more data, more options, and basically it's gotten the thumbs up from all the testers, and there have been a LOT, who have helped. I want to give a special thanks to the following distros for their exceptional support and testing: 0. the people who hang out on irc.oftc.net #smxi. Very patient, will test things with astounding patience, so thanks to them. Archerseven, iotaka and KittyKatt have been been incredibly helpful when it comes to testing and debugging, and finding corner cases that I would never have found. 1. AntiX: they were the first to beta test pinxi, and found massive numbers of bugs, and stuck with the testing for a long time. They made testing possible for the next wave of testers, my hats off to them, I've always liked them. 2. Manjaro also was very helpful, and found more issues and enhancements. 3. Ubuntu forums users found more, and helped enhance many faetures 4. Mint users have been very helpful, and were the impetus for some nifty new features, ilke switching all color codes off when output is piped or sent to file. They have reminded me of how valuable people's views can be who may not share the same tech world view as you, but are still very talented and observant individuals. 5. Slackware users provided some very thoughtful feedback, which was no surprise but welcome nonetheless, thanks. 6. Same with Debian forums, again, some very useful and constructive ideas and observations, and some very arcane and odd hardware that exposed even more corner case bugs. And several other distros were also helpful, each in their own way. Solus for example now has their package manager added in repos.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

extra data with \fB\-x\fR / \fB\-xx\fR.
New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

New version, man page. New features and fixes! Bugs: 1. -I line, sometimes running in showed sudo. This is hopefully now corrected. Fixes: 1. CPU architectures, small reordering based on hopefully more reliable data source, but these are hard to find conclusively. 2. -S Distro id: switched ordering of prefered os-release sources, PRETTY_NAME is not being used consistently, too many distros leave out the distro id found in VERSION, so now it uses NAME + VERSION if both are there, then PRETTY_NAME as a fallback. That reverses how it was, but it will provide better results for most distros. Distros that did this properly to begin with should see no change. 3. Now that inxi is basically debugged and working, I've removed the output of 'inxi' from the -t lines. It remains for the pinxi branch however so you can see how many resources pinxi uses to run. 4. ipmi sensors data are proving to be as random as lm-sensors. Added another alternate syntax for sensors. 5. CPU: found an alternate syntax, again, for IPMI and sensors data, added support, I hope, for that. Enhancements: 1. Added /proc debugger tool to debugger. Due to oddities with how the /proc file system is created, it will only run as user, not root, unless the --proc flag is used. More programs added to debugger commands. 2. More disk vendor strings added, fine tuning of vendor detections. There is a tendency in NVMe disk names to put the vendor name in the middle of the string. That is now handled for a few key vendors. 3. Added basic ARM SOC and server support. This will require more work in the future because the syntax used varies significantly device to device, but the featuers are now in place to add that support. Most SBC ARM devices should now at least show the model and details data in machine data, and some will show -G -A -N data as well. 4. ARM CPU: added first attempt to show the cpu variant as well as the more generic ARM data. This shows 1 or more variants, some ARM devices have two different cpu cores running at different speeds. Odroid for example. 5. Added system 'base:' data for -Sx, that modifies Distro: in supported cases. Currently only Mint and MX/AntiX supported because each specific distro must be handled explicitly using empirical file based data tests. I decided against showing this for rolling release, since really everyone knows that Antergos is made from Arch Linux, so showing that does not provide much useful information, whereas showing the Ubuntu version Mint was made from does. Note that several derived distros are changing how they use os-release, so the tools had to be revised to be more dynamic, which is a pain, and makes it even more empirical and less predictable to print what should be trivially easy to gather distro and derived source data. If your distro is not in this list and you want the base data to be present, please supply a --debug 22 dataset so I can check all the files required to make the detection work. If your distro has changed methods, please note which methods were used in the past, and which are used now. 6. Added Armbian distro detection, that's tricky. Added Rasbpian detections. Added improved Antergos, Arco, and maybe Chakra, Arch detections. 7. Big one: Hardware RAID basic support added. Note that each vendor, and unfortunatley, often each product line, has its own raid status and drive reporting tools, which makes adding the actual drive/raid/status report part very time consuming to add. I may only support this if a certain software maker's raid tools are installed because they are much simpler to parse, but for now, it only shows the presence of the raid device itself, not disks, raid status, etc.
2018-06-23 18:32:18 +00:00
If hardware RAID is detected, shows basic information. Due to complexity
of adding hardware RAID device disk / RAID reports, those will only be added
if there is demand, and reasonable reporting tools.

Uses fast method, which is not available on all systems. 2. Added IPMI sensors tools ipmitool and ipmi-sensors to -s for systems that use IPMI. 3. Finished man page edits and corrections. Thanks Pete. 4. Added doubled word filter for main -NGA lines, only for Card items. 5. Gave more granular uptime output: like: uptime: 23d 5h 34m

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Fine tunings. New features: 1. for a very few systems that have wmctrl installed, will shows -xxx wm if present Enhancements: 1. made xorg display server and protocols show more consistently with other layout: Display: x11 server: X.org 1.9.12 drivers: loaded: ... if no display protocol found: Display: server: X.org 1.9.12 drivers: loaded: ... This brings the -G in line with the other lines, of not putting different data types inside of parentheses as much as possible. -I still has two of these, but so far it's not clear how to otherwise show SSH or su/sudo/login in their respective spaces. Debugger data collector also has something I should have added ages ago, gz filename now includes the basic 2 digit inxi version number, like 3.0 at end, so I can readily determine the debugger inxi version, and thus avoid having to root through lots of versions to find new stuff. These are all largely cosmetic improvements, or debugger adjustments, except for -Sxxx now offering wm: if present. Also changed Desktop: name... (toolkit data) to: Desktop: name... tk: toolkit data to be more consistent, while not adding great length to the output. These two changes should also help export to json/xml since that puts unique key/values back into key value pairs, not merging two together.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

.B \-\-usb\fR
New version, man page. Big set of changes. Full USB refactor, plus added features. Bugs: 1. A result of the issue #156 USB refactor, I discovered that the --usb sort order, which was based on Bus+DeviceID, in fact is wrong, pure and simple. This was exposed by using a second USB hub on a bus, the Device IDs are not really related in any clearly logical way to the actual position on the bus. The solution was to fully refactor the entire USB logic and then use generated alpha sorters based on the full bus-port[.port] ID. Device ID is now printed last in the ID string, like so: 1-4:1. Note that Device IDs start at 1 for each bus, regardless of how many hubs you have attached to that port. 2. Certain situations triggered a bug in Optical devices, I'd forgotten to change $_ to $key in two places. Since that part didn't normally get triggered, I'd never noticed that bug before. Thanks TinyCore for exposing that glitch! Fixes: 1. On legacy systems, fluxbox --version does not work, -v does. Corrected. 2. for --usb, network devices should now show the correct 'type: Network'. For some weird reason, the people who made the usb types didn't seem to consider many key devices, scanners, wifi/ethernet adapters, and those are almost always "Vendor defined class". 3. A really big fix, for instances where system is using only Busybox, like TinyCore, or booting into any system running busybox for whatever reason, now avoids the various errors when using busybox ps, which only for example outputs 3, not 11, default columns for ps aux, and which does not support ps -j, which is used in the start/shell client information. This gets rid of a huge spray of errors, and actually allows for pretty complete output from systems that only have busybox tools installed. This should cover everything from TinyCore to MIPS to ARM systems that run minimalist Linux. Note that this fix goes along with the /sys based USB parser, since such systems may have USB, but are unlikely to have lsusb installed, but do have /sys USB data. 4. In some cases, strings /sbin/init would trigger a false version result, fixed that logic so now it rarely will do that. Enhancements: 1. Added Mosksha desktop, that's a Bodhi fork of Enlightenment E17; added qtile window manager (no version info). 2. Added Bodhi detection; Salix + base slackware; kde neon system base; 3. Added support for slaptget repos, basic, it may not be perfecct. 4. More disk vendors, and matches for existing vendors. 5. Full rewrite of USB data, in --usb, -A, and -N, along with core usb data engines. This makes lsusb optional, though recommended (because it has a better vendor/ product ID to string internal database) than /sys data. This was in response to a second set of issues in #156 by gm10, USB drivers. Depending on the system, using only /sys data, while slightly less informative, is between 20 and 2000 milliseconds faster, so if you want speed, either use the new --usb-sys option, or the configuration file USB_SYS=[true|false] option. 1. switched to cleaner more efficient data structures 2. added ports count to hub report, linux and bsd. 3. added [--usb|-A|-N] -xxx serial for Device items, if present. 4. added --usb -xx drivers, per interface, can be 1 or more drivers. 5. fully refactored -A and -N usb device logic, far cleaner and simple now, much easier to work with, no more hacks to find things and match them. 6. USB type: now comes from /sys, and is in general going to be more accurate than the lsusb -v based method, which was always an ugly and incomplete hack. As with drivers, it also now lists all the interface types found per device, not just the first one as with the previous method. Note that HID means the more verbose: Human Interface Device, but I shortened it. Now that the type: data is created by inxi reading the class/subclass/protocal IDs, and then figuring out what to do itself, I can have quite a bit more flexibility in terms of how type is generated. 7. added --usb -xxx interfaces: [count] for devices, which lists the device interface count. This can be useful to determine if say, a usb/keyboard adapter is a 2 interface device. Note that Audio devices generally have many interfaces, since they do more than 1 thing (audio output, microphone input, etc.). 8. Support for user configuration file item: USB_SYS=[true|false]. This is useful if you want to see only the /sys version of the data, or if you want the significant speed boost not using lsusb offers, particularly on older systems with a complex USB setup, many buses, many devices, etc. New option --usb-tool overrides USB_SYS value, and forces lsusb use. 9. New options: --usb-sys - forces all usb items to use /sys data, and skip lsusb. Note that you still have to use the feature options, like --usb, -A, or -N. This can lead to a significant improvement in execution time for inxi. 10. Rather than the previous bus:device ID string, to go along with the internal sorting strings used, inxi now shows the real Bus / port /port ids, like: 1-3.2.1:3 - Bus-Port[.port]:device id. 6. Added support for Xvesa display server. Thanks for exposing that one, TinyCore! 7. Added tce package manager to repos. That's the tinycore package manager. Changes: 1. big one, after 10 plus years, the venerable 'Card-x:' for -A,-N, and -G has been replaced by the more neutral 'Device-x:'. This was a suggestion by gm10 from Mint in issue #156 This makes sense because for a long time, most of these devices are not cards, they are SOC, motherboard builtin, USB devices, etc, so the one thing they all are are some form of a device, and the one thing that they are all not is a Card. Along with the recent change from HDD: to Local Storage in Disks: this brings inxi terminology out of the ancient times and into the present. Thanks for the nudge gm10. Removed: See inxi-perl/docs/inxi-fragments.txt for removed blocks. 1. Entire parser for lsusb -v, now it all runs either usbdevs or lsusb, and if Linux and not lsusb, it will use /sys exclusively, otherwise it uses /sys data to complete the lsusb vendor/product strings. 2. Two functions that were used by -A and -N to match usb devices and get their /sys data, that became redundant since it all now goes through the /sys parser already, so those features can get the data pre-parsed from the @usb arrays.

Show USB data for attached Hubs and Devices. Hubs also show number of ports.
Be aware that a port is not always external, some may be internal, and either
used or unused (for example, a motherboard USB header connector that is not used).
New version, man page. Fixes, enhancements, changes. Thanks: 1. AntiX forums, for testing -C --admin, suggestions, always helpful. Bugs: 1. Added switch to set @ps_gui, I forgot case where info block was only thing that used ps_gui (Nitrux kde nomad latte case). This led to no info: data if other ps_gui switches not activated. Now each block that can use it activates it. Fixes: 1. To clarify issue #161 added help/man explanation on how to get colors in cases where you want to preserve colors for piped or redirected output. Thanks fugo. 2. LMDE 3.0 released, slightly different system base handling, so refactored to add Debian version, see enhancement 2. Tested on some old vm instances, improved old system Debian system base id, but it's empirical, distro by distro, there is no rule I can use to automatically do it, sadly. 3. 'Motherboard' sensors field name added, a few small tweaks to sensors. This was in response to issue #159, which also raised a problem I was not really aware of, user generated sensor config files, that can have totally random field names. Longer term solution, start getting data from sys to pad out lm-sensors data, or to handle cases where no lm-sensors installed. 4. Fixed kwin_11 and kwin_wayland compositor print names, I'd left out the _, which made it look strange, like there were two compositors or something. 5. Fixed latte-dock ID, I thought the program name when running was latte, not latte-dock. inxi checks for both now. Thanks Nitrux for exposing that in vm test. 6. Sensors: added in a small filter to motherboard temp, avoid values that are too high, like SYSTIN: 118 C, filters out to only use < 90 C. Very unlikely a mobo would be more than 90C unless it's a mistake or about to melt. This may correct anoymous debugger dataset report from rakasunka. Enhancements: 1. Added --admin to -v 8 and to --debugger 2x 2. Expanded system base to use Debian version tool, like the ubuntu one, that lets me match version number to codename. The ubuntu one matches code names to release dates. Added Neptune, PureOS, Sparky, Tails, to new Debian system base handler. 3. Big enhancement: --admin -C now shows a nice report on cpu vulnerabilities, and has a good error message if no data found. Report shows: Vulnerabilities: Type: [e.g. meltdown] status/mitigation: text explanation. Note: 'status' is for when no mitigation, either not applicable, or is vulnerable. 'mitigation' is when it's handled, and how. Thanks issue #160 Vascom from Fedora for that request. 4. The never-ending saga of disk vendor IDs continues. More obscure vendors, more matches to existing vendors. Thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database Changes: 1. Reordered usb output, I don't know why I had Hubs and Devices use different ordering and different -x switch priorities, that was silly, and made it hard to read. Now shows: Device/Hub: bus-id-port-id[.port-id]:device-id info: [product info] type/ports: [devices/hubs] usb: [type, speed] -x adds drivers for devices, and usb: speed is now default for devices, same as Hubs. Why I had those different is beyond me. The USB ordering is now more sensible, the various components of each matching whether hub or device. Unfixable or Won't Fix: 1. Unable to detect Nomad desktop. As far as I can tell, Nomad is only a theme applied to KDE Plasma, there is no program by that name detectable, only a reference in ps aux to a theme called nomad. 2. Nitrux system base ID will not work until they correct their /etc/os-release file. 3. Tails live cd for some inexplicable reason uses non standard /etc/os-release field names, which forces me to either do a custom detection just for them, or for them to fix this bug. I opted for ignoring it, if I let each distro break standard formats then try to work around it, the distro ID will grow to be a 1000 lines long easily. Will file distro bug reports when I find these from now on.

Hubs and Devices are listed in order of BusID.
New version, man page. Big set of changes. Full USB refactor, plus added features. Bugs: 1. A result of the issue #156 USB refactor, I discovered that the --usb sort order, which was based on Bus+DeviceID, in fact is wrong, pure and simple. This was exposed by using a second USB hub on a bus, the Device IDs are not really related in any clearly logical way to the actual position on the bus. The solution was to fully refactor the entire USB logic and then use generated alpha sorters based on the full bus-port[.port] ID. Device ID is now printed last in the ID string, like so: 1-4:1. Note that Device IDs start at 1 for each bus, regardless of how many hubs you have attached to that port. 2. Certain situations triggered a bug in Optical devices, I'd forgotten to change $_ to $key in two places. Since that part didn't normally get triggered, I'd never noticed that bug before. Thanks TinyCore for exposing that glitch! Fixes: 1. On legacy systems, fluxbox --version does not work, -v does. Corrected. 2. for --usb, network devices should now show the correct 'type: Network'. For some weird reason, the people who made the usb types didn't seem to consider many key devices, scanners, wifi/ethernet adapters, and those are almost always "Vendor defined class". 3. A really big fix, for instances where system is using only Busybox, like TinyCore, or booting into any system running busybox for whatever reason, now avoids the various errors when using busybox ps, which only for example outputs 3, not 11, default columns for ps aux, and which does not support ps -j, which is used in the start/shell client information. This gets rid of a huge spray of errors, and actually allows for pretty complete output from systems that only have busybox tools installed. This should cover everything from TinyCore to MIPS to ARM systems that run minimalist Linux. Note that this fix goes along with the /sys based USB parser, since such systems may have USB, but are unlikely to have lsusb installed, but do have /sys USB data. 4. In some cases, strings /sbin/init would trigger a false version result, fixed that logic so now it rarely will do that. Enhancements: 1. Added Mosksha desktop, that's a Bodhi fork of Enlightenment E17; added qtile window manager (no version info). 2. Added Bodhi detection; Salix + base slackware; kde neon system base; 3. Added support for slaptget repos, basic, it may not be perfecct. 4. More disk vendors, and matches for existing vendors. 5. Full rewrite of USB data, in --usb, -A, and -N, along with core usb data engines. This makes lsusb optional, though recommended (because it has a better vendor/ product ID to string internal database) than /sys data. This was in response to a second set of issues in #156 by gm10, USB drivers. Depending on the system, using only /sys data, while slightly less informative, is between 20 and 2000 milliseconds faster, so if you want speed, either use the new --usb-sys option, or the configuration file USB_SYS=[true|false] option. 1. switched to cleaner more efficient data structures 2. added ports count to hub report, linux and bsd. 3. added [--usb|-A|-N] -xxx serial for Device items, if present. 4. added --usb -xx drivers, per interface, can be 1 or more drivers. 5. fully refactored -A and -N usb device logic, far cleaner and simple now, much easier to work with, no more hacks to find things and match them. 6. USB type: now comes from /sys, and is in general going to be more accurate than the lsusb -v based method, which was always an ugly and incomplete hack. As with drivers, it also now lists all the interface types found per device, not just the first one as with the previous method. Note that HID means the more verbose: Human Interface Device, but I shortened it. Now that the type: data is created by inxi reading the class/subclass/protocal IDs, and then figuring out what to do itself, I can have quite a bit more flexibility in terms of how type is generated. 7. added --usb -xxx interfaces: [count] for devices, which lists the device interface count. This can be useful to determine if say, a usb/keyboard adapter is a 2 interface device. Note that Audio devices generally have many interfaces, since they do more than 1 thing (audio output, microphone input, etc.). 8. Support for user configuration file item: USB_SYS=[true|false]. This is useful if you want to see only the /sys version of the data, or if you want the significant speed boost not using lsusb offers, particularly on older systems with a complex USB setup, many buses, many devices, etc. New option --usb-tool overrides USB_SYS value, and forces lsusb use. 9. New options: --usb-sys - forces all usb items to use /sys data, and skip lsusb. Note that you still have to use the feature options, like --usb, -A, or -N. This can lead to a significant improvement in execution time for inxi. 10. Rather than the previous bus:device ID string, to go along with the internal sorting strings used, inxi now shows the real Bus / port /port ids, like: 1-3.2.1:3 - Bus-Port[.port]:device id. 6. Added support for Xvesa display server. Thanks for exposing that one, TinyCore! 7. Added tce package manager to repos. That's the tinycore package manager. Changes: 1. big one, after 10 plus years, the venerable 'Card-x:' for -A,-N, and -G has been replaced by the more neutral 'Device-x:'. This was a suggestion by gm10 from Mint in issue #156 This makes sense because for a long time, most of these devices are not cards, they are SOC, motherboard builtin, USB devices, etc, so the one thing they all are are some form of a device, and the one thing that they are all not is a Card. Along with the recent change from HDD: to Local Storage in Disks: this brings inxi terminology out of the ancient times and into the present. Thanks for the nudge gm10. Removed: See inxi-perl/docs/inxi-fragments.txt for removed blocks. 1. Entire parser for lsusb -v, now it all runs either usbdevs or lsusb, and if Linux and not lsusb, it will use /sys exclusively, otherwise it uses /sys data to complete the lsusb vendor/product strings. 2. Two functions that were used by -A and -N to match usb devices and get their /sys data, that became redundant since it all now goes through the /sys parser already, so those features can get the data pre-parsed from the @usb arrays.

BusID is generally in this format: BusID-port[.port][.port]:DeviceID
Device ID is a number created by the kernel, and has no necessary ordering
or sequence connection, but can be used to match this output to lsusb
values, which generally shows BusID / DeviceID (except for tree view, which
shows ports).
New version, new man. Huge set of changes. Excitement!! Thrills! Spills? Bugs: 1. There was a missing main::is_int test that in some instances triggered error. This is corrected. 2. More of a fix, but legacy devices were not matching NIC to IF because the /sys path was not a link as it is now. I made a separate function to handle that match test so it could be more readily be worked with. Fixes: 1. Arch/Manjaro presented yet another Xorg.wrapper path, this time /usr/lib. Why? who knows. That to me is a bug, but since if it's not handled in inxi, it makes it look like inxi has a server: -G bug, I worked around it. Again. This creates the bug when you do not use the actual true path of Xorg where Xorg.wrapper complains and will not show -version data. Why move this? why use that wrapper thing? I don't know, makes no sense to me. 2. More MIPS data, thanks manjaro ARM people. This made MIPS much better, though it will certainly need more work. 3. Better ARM support, added in devicetree strings, which helps pad out the Devices IDs, albeit with very little data, but at least the devices are detected. Thanks Manjaro ARM people there again. 4. Removed Upstart init test for arm/mips/sparc devices. This test made MIPS device totally puke and die, killed networking, so since very few upstart running systems will be arm/mips devices, I decided there better safe than sorry. 5. Found another uptime syntax case, MIPS as root does not have the users item. 6. Many tweaks to SOC data generators, will catch more categories, but the lists will never be done since each device can be, and often is, random re the syntax. 7. USB networking failed to test usb type for 'network', which led to failed ids on some device strings. SOC types are now filtered through a function to create consistent device type strings for the per device tool to use to assign each to its proper @device_<type> array. 8. For pciconf/FreeBSD, cleaned up device class strings to get rid of 0x and trailing subsubclass values, this converts it into the same hex 4 item string that is used by GNU/Linux/lspci so I can apply consistent rules to all pci types, no matter what the generator source is, lspci, pcidump, pciconf, and eventually pcictl if I can get netbsd running. 9. Fixed internal --dbg counts for various features, and updated docs for that. 10. Fixed ARM / MIPS missing data messages, they were redundant. 11. Ongoing, moving excessive source comments to inxi-values.txt and inxi-data.txt. 12. Added unity-system-compositor as mir detection, who knew? I guess that was its production application name all along? Oh well. Enhancements: 1. Added basic support for OpenIndiana/Solaris/SunOS as a bsd type. Just enough to make errors not happen.-repos 2. future proofed unix/bsd detections just to avoid the unset $bsd_type of non BSD unix. 3. Added S6 init system to init tool. 4. Added OpenBSD pcidump to new DeviceData feature. Includes now <root required> message on Device-x: lines if not root. All working. 5. Fully refactored the old pci stuff to DeviceData package/class, due to adding so many types to that, it made sense to make it a single class. 6. Did the same to USBData, because of lsusb, usbdevs, and /sys usb, made sense to integrate the data grabber into one package/class 7. Added speed: item to USB:, it shows in Mb/s or Gb/s 8. Added Odroid C1/C2 handling, which is one big reason I opted to refactor the devices data logic into DeviceData. 9. Added ash shell, not sure if that detection will work, but if it does, it will show. 10. As part of the overall DeviceData refactor, I moved all per type data into dedicated arrays, like @device_graphics, @device_audio, @device_network, etc, which lets me totally dump all the per device item tests, and just check the arrays, which have already been tested for on the construction of the primary DeviceData set. Moved all per type detections into DeviceData so that is now one complete logic block, and the per type data generators don't need to know about any of that logic at all anymore. 11. Added sway, swaybar, way-cooler as window managers, info items. Not 100% positive about the --version, their docs weren't very consistent, but I think the guess should be right if their docs weren't incorrect. 12. Added vendor: item to network, not sure why I kept that off when I added vendor: to audio and graphics. It made sense at the time, but not now, so now -GNA all have vendor: if detected. 13. More device vendors!! The list never ends. Thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database, somehow you have users that manage to use every obscure usb/ssd/hdd known to humanity. 14. Big update to --admin, now has the following: A: partitions: shows 'raw size: ' of partition, this lets users see the amount of file system overhead, along with the available size as usual. B: partitions: show percent of raw in size: C: partitions: show if root, block size of partition file system. Uses blockdev --getbsz <part> D: partition: swap: show swappiness and vfs cache pressure, with (default) or (default <default value) added. This apparently can help debugging some kernel issues etc. Whatever, I'll take someone's word for that. E: Disks: show block size: logical: physical: 15. New option and configuration item: --partition-sort / PARTITION_SORT This lets users change default mount point sort order to any available ordering in the partition item. Man page and help menu show options. 16. Going along with the MIPS fixes, added basic support for OpenWRT, which uses an immensely stripped down busybox (no ps aux, for example), maybe because it only runs as root user/ not sure, anyway, took many fixes. Changes: 1. Changed usb: 1.1 to rev: 1.1 because for linux, we have the USB revision number, like 3.1. Note that this is going to be wrong for BSDs, but that's fine. 2. Changed slightly the output of Memory item, now it follows the following rules: A: if -m/--memory is triggered (> -v4, or -m) Memory line always shows in Memory: item, which makes sense. Note that -m overrides all other options of where Memory minireport could be located. B: if -tm is triggered, and -I is not triggered, Memory shows in in -tm C: if -I is triggered, and -m is not triggered, Memory: shows in -I line. D: no change in short form inxi no arg output, Memory is there.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

New version, new man. Big update, corrects many small typos, adds some good new features. So now inxi and pinxi will grab the inxi.1 or pinxi.1 man file and install it on systems that do not have -U blocked. The -U block of course remains the same. New features: 1. now does not require root or 'file' to get unmounted fs type. Also, for many mounted partitions, rather than showing the meaningless fuseblock it will usually get the filesystem right. 2. -U now works with optional --man option to download man page for pinxi and -U 3 dev server updates. This gets around the fact I had to remove the gz files from master to get the size small enough to make maintainers happy. Non branch inxi master works as before, updates both from github or from dev server, depending on your selection. 3. Thanks very much to the people who have been contributing in a positve way, helping to make inxi better. The untold number of small and large new features, small glitches, etc, that have been fixed this week are simply too many too list. Many to most were inxi bugs or weaknesses, now corrected. 4. binxi branch has now been made fully operational, though I do not plan on doing any work beyond the mothballing of that venerable program (gawk->bash inxi), it's fully operational, it updates, it gets its man page, but all as binxi, so you can, as with pinxi, run all of them separately. This officially terminates my support for Gawk/Bash inxi, which can be found as binxi in the inxi-legacy branch. 5. pinxi has been promoted to permanent development branch, where bug fixes, new features, etc, will be tested, along with man page updates etc. This will help reduce the number of commits to master branch. 6. Audio / Network usb cards now show the true driver(s). There are often more than one for audio, that's a nice enancement. 7. inxi outputs to json / xml, which will probably interest some developers eventually, well it already did, that was going to wait, but someone wanted it. 8. Apt repo handler now supports DEB822 format, which is not an easy format to parse. ========================================================== MAINTAINERS: Note the following: despite my strong dislike for tags, every commit that touches either inxi or inxi.1 man page will be tagged if I think they would be something relevant to distro packagers. While github insists on calling my tags releases, I want to be crystal clear: inxi has one and only one 'release', the current master branch version. The tagged commits that github calls releases are NOT releases, they are just tagged commits. The version I release tomorrow will be the current master, and all previous versions will be obsolete and will not be supported. The .gz files have been removed from the master branch history, thus shrinking it a lot. I have removed for this reason the master-plain branch, which mirrored master and provided a gz free branch, but apparently this was simply ignored so there's no reason to keep it going. If you insist on grabbing all the branches and find more data in there, then please correct your practices, you are only getting the data from the master branch. inxi is rolling release software and has no releases, so the tags are supposed to create some illusion that a tag actually means something. Since it doesn't, I decided to take the path of least resistance and just add an auto tagging tool to my commit scripts and use it when it seems appropriate, like on this commit. All development work now will happen via the pinxi branch, so that makes the process a lot cleaner, since I can now basically beta test all new commmits to master. pinxi and binxi are both standalone versions of inxi, they have their own config and data directories, config files, man pages, etc. ----------------------------------------------------- New Perl inxi is already way ahead of Gawk/Bash inxi, more features, more accurate, and most bugs being fixed now are because a lot of people are contributing eyes and testing, and are finding stuff that was wrong, or simply missing, on old inxi as well as on Perl inxi. Fixes to Perl inxi (>2.9) will not be rolled into to binxi since the entire reason I spent over 4 months on this project was to never have to touch Gawk/Bash inxi again. Most imporant, however, is that the simple fact was, Gawk/Bash inxi has been nearly impossible to work on despite my following rigorous practices in coding, and I simply won't work with that type of stuff anymore. Perl 5.x is a true delight in comparison, and makes adding new features, enhancing others, far easier, or even possible, where it wasn't before. On a technical level, I have tested Perl inxi heavily, and it will run on all Perl 5.x versions back to 5.008, which is the cutoff point. This was not that hard to do, which is why I picked Perl 5.x as the language. This means that you can drop, just as with binxi, Perl inxi onto a 10 year old system, or older, and it will run fine, albeit a touch slowly, but must faster than binxi. ----------------------------------------------------- So far users are really liking the new one, it's usually faster in most cases, the output is cleaner, there's more data, more options, and basically it's gotten the thumbs up from all the testers, and there have been a LOT, who have helped. I want to give a special thanks to the following distros for their exceptional support and testing: 0. the people who hang out on irc.oftc.net #smxi. Very patient, will test things with astounding patience, so thanks to them. Archerseven, iotaka and KittyKatt have been been incredibly helpful when it comes to testing and debugging, and finding corner cases that I would never have found. 1. AntiX: they were the first to beta test pinxi, and found massive numbers of bugs, and stuck with the testing for a long time. They made testing possible for the next wave of testers, my hats off to them, I've always liked them. 2. Manjaro also was very helpful, and found more issues and enhancements. 3. Ubuntu forums users found more, and helped enhance many faetures 4. Mint users have been very helpful, and were the impetus for some nifty new features, ilke switching all color codes off when output is piped or sent to file. They have reminded me of how valuable people's views can be who may not share the same tech world view as you, but are still very talented and observant individuals. 5. Slackware users provided some very thoughtful feedback, which was no surprise but welcome nonetheless, thanks. 6. Same with Debian forums, again, some very useful and constructive ideas and observations, and some very arcane and odd hardware that exposed even more corner case bugs. And several other distros were also helpful, each in their own way. Solus for example now has their package manager added in repos.

New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

New version, man page. Major man page edits. Bug fixes. Bugs fixed: 1. RAID - both mdraid and zfs bugs corrected. Issue #135 2. EPYC cpu wrong die count corrected, and also added support for the EPYC type. Issue #135 3. Possible ARM data glitch that made reader fail on a non-existent file.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

\- Adds full mounted partition data (\fB\-p\fR), unmounted partition data (\fB\-o\fR),
New version, new man page. Big update! Get it in before your freeze!! Bugs: 1. Maybe the vendor/product regex, which when + was used, would put out errors. 2. Maybe Fix 4, since that could lead to incorrect behavior when sudo is involved depending on sudo configuration. 3. BIG: current inxi weather will probably fail if not updated to this or newer versions!! Not an inxi bug per se, but your users will see it as one. Fixes: 1. Fixed Patriot disk ID. 2. Fixes for PPC board handling. 3. Regex cleaner fixes, this could lead to error in special cases of product vendor names. 4. crazy from frugalware pointed out that $b_root detection was flawed, and relied on a bad assumption, particularly for sudo. As usual, he's right, that is now corrected, and uses $< Perl native to determine UID. Enhancements: 1. Added septor to Debian system base. 2. Removed quiet filters for downloaders when using --dbg 1, now you see the entire download action for curl/wget downloads. This went along with issue # 174 3. New feature: --wan-ip-url. This closed issue #174. Also has user config option: WAN_IP_URL as well to make changes permanent. 4. Added --dbg 1 to man and help. The other --dbg options are random and can change, but --dbg 1 is always for downloading, so might as well tell people about it. 5. To anticipate the loss of a major weather API, inxi is redone to use smxi.org based robust API. This also allows for a new switch, --weather-source (or --ws for shorter version), options 0-9, which will trigger different APIs on smxi.org. Added WEATHER_SOURCE configuration option as well. Note that 4-9 are not currently active. Also added in better error handling for weather. The main benefit here is that inxi is now largely agnostic to the weather APIs used, and those can be changed with no impact to inxi users who are running frozen pool inxi's, or who have not updated their inxi versions. NOTE: all inxi versions older than 3.0.31 will probably fail for weather quite soon. So update your inxi version in your repos!! 6. More disk vendors IDs and matches. Thanks linuxlite hardware database. 7. Going along with weather changes, added, if present, cloud cover, rain, and snow reports. Those are for previously observed hour. 8. Small change to Intel CPU architecture, taking a guess on stepping for skylake/Cascade lake ID. Guessing if stepping is > 4, it's cascade lake. But could not find this documented, so it's a guess. At worst, it means that Cascade lake, which must be a later steppingi than 4, will not be ID'ed as skylake. 9. Documentation updates for data sources. Changes: 1. inxi now uses a new system to get weather data. There is no longer a risk of weather failing if the API used locally in inxi fails or goes away. This change should be largely invisible to casual users. 2. In weather, moved dewpoint to be after humidity, which makes a little more sense.

processes (\fB\-tcm\fR), admin (\fB\-\-admin\fR). Useful for testing output and to
see what data you can get from your system.
New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Weather explanations, disks, bugs!! Bugs: 1. For sensors, in some cases, gpu failed to show correctly. This should be corrected. Fixes: 1. Made help/man explanations of weather changes more clear. Particularly in regards to no automated query info. But also for supported location syntaxes. 2. Some corner cases of null weather data return null and tripped a null data error. This is corrected. 3. Added city duplicate filter to weather output, this hopefully will in some cases avoid printing city name twice, depends on weather source. 4. Removed --weather-source option 0, that no longer works so all code was removed. 5. More deb822 fixes, loosened up even more syntax. That's a poorly designed config syntax, hard to work with. Enhancements: 1. Lots of new disk vendors. So many!! Thanks linux-lite hardware database! switched to a new method of getting disk name/vendor data, now it's a lot easier to check for new ones. 2. Added fancybar to desktop info.

DO NOT USE THIS FEATURE FOR AUTOMATED WEATHER UPDATES! You will be blocked
from any further access. This feature is not meant for widget type
weather monitoring, or Conky type use. It is meant to get weather when you need to
see it, for example, on a remote server.
New tarball, version, man page. Improved remote weather, now it uses -W, and deprecated -! location=.. That was too hard to type and too hard to remember. Also do more dyanamic reordering of weather output, depending on how much data is present, and how many x options are used. Added error handling for generic deprecated options, and for options that do not have the correct syntax for OPTARG, like with -W. This should about do it for the weather option for now unless I missed something somewhere.

Try postal codes with and without country code added. Note that City,State applies
only to USA, otherwise it's City,Country. If country name (english) does not work,
try 2 character country code (e.g. Spain: es; Great Britain: gb).
See \fIhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2\fR for current 2 letter
country codes.
I think this is the last man page edit, cleaning up line breaks and spacing stuff.

New version, new man page. Big update! Get it in before your freeze!! Bugs: 1. Maybe the vendor/product regex, which when + was used, would put out errors. 2. Maybe Fix 4, since that could lead to incorrect behavior when sudo is involved depending on sudo configuration. 3. BIG: current inxi weather will probably fail if not updated to this or newer versions!! Not an inxi bug per se, but your users will see it as one. Fixes: 1. Fixed Patriot disk ID. 2. Fixes for PPC board handling. 3. Regex cleaner fixes, this could lead to error in special cases of product vendor names. 4. crazy from frugalware pointed out that $b_root detection was flawed, and relied on a bad assumption, particularly for sudo. As usual, he's right, that is now corrected, and uses $< Perl native to determine UID. Enhancements: 1. Added septor to Debian system base. 2. Removed quiet filters for downloaders when using --dbg 1, now you see the entire download action for curl/wget downloads. This went along with issue # 174 3. New feature: --wan-ip-url. This closed issue #174. Also has user config option: WAN_IP_URL as well to make changes permanent. 4. Added --dbg 1 to man and help. The other --dbg options are random and can change, but --dbg 1 is always for downloading, so might as well tell people about it. 5. To anticipate the loss of a major weather API, inxi is redone to use smxi.org based robust API. This also allows for a new switch, --weather-source (or --ws for shorter version), options 0-9, which will trigger different APIs on smxi.org. Added WEATHER_SOURCE configuration option as well. Note that 4-9 are not currently active. Also added in better error handling for weather. The main benefit here is that inxi is now largely agnostic to the weather APIs used, and those can be changed with no impact to inxi users who are running frozen pool inxi's, or who have not updated their inxi versions. NOTE: all inxi versions older than 3.0.31 will probably fail for weather quite soon. So update your inxi version in your repos!! 6. More disk vendors IDs and matches. Thanks linuxlite hardware database. 7. Going along with weather changes, added, if present, cloud cover, rain, and snow reports. Those are for previously observed hour. 8. Small change to Intel CPU architecture, taking a guess on stepping for skylake/Cascade lake ID. Guessing if stepping is > 4, it's cascade lake. But could not find this documented, so it's a guess. At worst, it means that Cascade lake, which must be a later steppingi than 4, will not be ID'ed as skylake. 9. Documentation updates for data sources. Changes: 1. inxi now uses a new system to get weather data. There is no longer a risk of weather failing if the API used locally in inxi fails or goes away. This change should be largely invisible to casual users. 2. In weather, moved dewpoint to be after humidity, which makes a little more sense.

DO NOT USE THIS FEATURE FOR AUTOMATED WEATHER UPDATES! Use of automated queries,
New version, new man, new feature!! Bug fixes! Bugs: 1. issue #182 - in freebsd, there was an oversight in the pciconf parser, it was using unfiltered strings as regex pattern, and of course, a string flipped an error. Fix was to add the regex cleaner to the string before it's used in test. 2. NOTE: issue #182 had a second bug, but the issue poster didn't follow up with data or output so it couldn't be fixed. This was related to a syntax change in usbdevs -v output in FreeBSD. Such changes are too common, but it might also simply be a variant I have not seen or handled, but so far no data, so can't fix. Don't blame me if you get this bug, but do post requested debugger data if you want it fixed! Fixes: 1. Updated man for weather, explained more clearly how to use country codes for weather output. More clarifying in general about weather location, and weather restrictions. Enhancements: 1. Added avx/avx2 to default flag list in -C short form. Thanks damentz from liquorix for clarifying why that was a good idea. Note the initial issue came up in a Debian issue report, not here. People!! please post issues here, and don't bug maintainers with feature requests! Maintainers aren't in a position to add a feature, so you should go straight to the source. 1.a. Created in inxi-perl/docs new doc file: cpu-flags.txt, which explains all the flags, and also covers the short form flags and explains why they are used. 2. To resolve another issue, I made a new documentation file: inxi-perl/docs/inxi-custom-recommends.txt This is instructions for maintainers of distros who do not use rpm/apt/pacman but still want the --recommends feature to output their package pool package names for missing packages. I decided to not allow more than the default 3 package managers because no matter what people say, if I allow in more, the maintainer will vanish or lose interest, and I'll be stuck having to maintain their package lists forever. Also, it's silly to even include that package list for any distro that does not use rpm/apt/pacman, since the list is just wasted lines. Instructions in doc file show what to change, and how, and has an example to make it clear. Odds of this actually being used? Not high, lol, but that's fine, if people want it done, they can do it, if not, nothing bad happens, it just won't show any suggested install package, no big deal. 3. Using the new disk vendor method, added even more disk vendors. Thanks linux litet hardware database!! 4. EXCITING!! A new --admin/-a option, suggested by a user on techpatterns.com/forums/ Now -S or -b or -F with -a option for GNU/Linux shows the kernel boot parameters, from /proc/cmdline. Didn't find anything comparable for BSDs, if you can tell me where to look, I'll add it for those too, but wasn't anywhere I looked. Do the BSDs even use that method? Don't know, but the logic is there, waiting to be used if someone shows me how to get it cleanly. The 'parameters:' item shows in the main 'System:' -S output, and will just show the entire kernel parameters used to boot. This could be very helpful to distros who often have to determine if for example graphics blacklists are correctly applied for non free drivers, like nomodeset etc, or if the opposite is present. For forum/distro support, they just have to ask for: inxi -ba and they will see t the relevant graphics info, for instance, or -SGaxxx, or -Faxxx, whatever is used to trigger in this case the graphics and system lines. 5. Updated man/help for 4 as well, now explains what they will see with --admin/ -a options and -S. Good user suggestion, I wish all new features were this easy, heh.

\fB1\fR may not support city / country names with spaces (even if you use the \fB+\fR
sign instead of space). \fB2\fR offers pretty good data, but may not have all small
city names for \fB\-W\fR.
Please note that the data sources are not static per value, and can change any time,
or be removed, so always test to verify which source is being used for each value
if that is important to you. Data sources may be added or removed on occasions, so
try each one and see which you prefer. If you get unsupported source message, it means
that number has not been implemented.
New version, new man page, new tarball. Added -y [integer >= 80] option. This allows for absolute override of width settings. This overrides any dynamically detected widths, as well as the globals: COLS_MAX_CONSOLE='115' COLS_MAX_IRC='105' Now that inxi widths are largely dynamic in terminal, with a few lingering exceptions, it made sense to also allow for overrides of this. This is useful in cases where for example you want to output inxi to text file or for other purposes, or if you just want to test the widths, as in my case. -y cannot be used with --recommends, but otherwise it works fine, with --help/-c 94-99 you have to put -y first in the list of options. Example: inxi -v7 -y150 > inxi.txt will ignore the terminal settings and output the lines at basically max length.

New version, new man. Bug fixes, feature updates. The main reason to release this earlier than I had hoped was because of the /sys permission change for serial/uuid file data. The earlier we can get this fix out, the better for end users, otherwise they will think they have no serial data when they really do. FIXES: 1. this bug just came to my attention, apparently the (I assume) kernel people decided for us that we don't need to see our serial numbers in /sys unless we are root. This is an unfortunate but sadly predictable event. To work around this recent change (somewhere between 4.14 and 4.15 as far as I can tell), inxi -M and -B now check for root read-only and show <root required> if the file exists but is not user readable. I wish, I really wish, that people could stop changing stuff for no good reason, but that's out of my control, all I can do is adjust inxi to this reality. But shame on whoever decided that was a good idea. This is not technically an inxi bug, but rather a regression, since it's caused by a change in /sys permissions, but users would see it as a bug so I consider this an important fix. Note that the new /sys/class/dmi/id permissions result in various possible things: 1. serial/uuid file is empty but exists and is not readable by user 2. serial/uuid file is not empty and exists and is not readable by user 3. serial/uuid file does not exist 4. serial/uuid file exists, is not empty, and is readable by root Does this change make your life better? It doesn't make mine better, it makes it worse. Consider filing a bug report against whoever allowed this regression is my suggestion. BUGS: 1. A weather bug could result in odd or wrong data showing in weather output, this was due to a mistake in how the weather data was assembled internally. This error could lead to large datastore files, and odd output that is not all correct. 2. More of an enhancement, but due to the way 'v' is used in version numbers, the program_version tool in some cases could have sliced out a 'v' in the wrong place in the version string, and also could have sliced out legitimate v values. This v issue also appeared in bios version, so now the new rule for program_version and certain other version results is to trim off starting v if and only if it is followed by a number. FEATURES: 1. Added in OpenBSD support for showing machine data without having to use dmidecode. This is a combination of systcl -a and dmesg.boot data, not very good quality data sources, but it is available as user, and it does work. Note that BIOS systems are the only ones tested, I don't know what the syntax for UEFI is for the field names and strings. Coming soon is Battery and Sensors data, from the same sources. Sadly as far as I know, OpenBSD is the only BSD that has such nice, usable (well, ok, dmesg.boot data is low quality strings, not really machine safe) data. I have no new datasets from the other BSDs so I don't know if they have decided to copy/emulate this method. 2. By request, and this was listed in issue #134, item no. 1, added in weather switchable metric/imperial output. Also added an option, --weather-unit and configuration item: WEATHER_UNIT with possible values: cf|fc|c|f. The 2nd of two in cf/fc goes in () in the output. Note that windspeed is m/s or km/h as metric, inxi shows m/s as default for metric and (km/h as secondary). Also fixed -w observation date to use local time formatting. That does not work in -W so it shows the default value. 3. Updated man to show new WEATHER_UNIT config option, and new --weather-unit option. Also fixed some other small man glitches that I had missed.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

Adds security filters for IP addresses, serial numbers, MAC,
location (\fB\-w\fR), and user home directory name. On by default for IRC clients.
New version, new tarball, new man page. Unless disabled by distribution maintainers, offers weather -w option. With -x, -xx-, -xxx, shows more information. Basic line is just weather and system time there. -x adds time zone, which is useful for servers, particurly web servers. -x also adds wind speed. -xx adds humidity and barometric pressure. -xxx adds a possible new line, if data is available, heat index, wind chill, and dew point. -xxx also adds a line for location (blocked by irc/-z) / weather observation time. -z filter applies as usual to location data, removes it in irc by default. -Z overrides override. The api this uses is probably going to be dropped at some point, so this is just going to work while it works, then it will need to be updated at some point, so don't get very attached to it. Also adds option to, with -w: -! location=<location string> This lets users send an alternate location using either <city,state> or <postal code> or <latitude,longitude> (commas for city,state and latitude,longitude are not optional, and the order must be as listed. If There is a developer flag if distro maintainers do not want this enabled, simply set: B_ALLOW_WEATHER='false' before packaging and the weather feature will be disabled.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

Alternatively, the \fB\-v\fR options trigger them in the following
way: \fB\-v 3\fR adds \fB\-x\fR;
New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

New version, new man. Fixes, stitches, and returns!! Bugs: 1. As a fix (3), failure to handle spaces in mount source names. More of a fix than a bug, since it was an old issue #63. 2. OSX errors, BSD errors, but not really inxi errors or bugs, more weird data tripping null data or unreadable file errors, but I'll call those bugs since they look like bugs to end users. See Fixes for more. 3. See Fix 4, this is sort of a bug, inxi failed to return expected values on success/failure. Fixes: 1. One of the documented config items, COLS_MAX_NO_DISPLAY had not been implemented internally. This is now corrected. 2. Apple OSX was returning errors, those were fixed. 3. Finally handled ancient issue #63, support now there for spaces in remote source name. This means that both spaces in source block name, and mount point name, are in theory both handled now. This was also to fix an osx issue #164 despite the fact that technically I do not support osx beyond fixing errors, but since in this case the issue was a long standing one, I fixed it for everything. 4. Big fix, I'd completely left undone proper unix type error number returns in inxi, oops. Thanks Unit193 for noticing that and prompting me to fix it. Now inxi returns integer success/error numbers as expected. 5. OSX xml based version info broke, of course, naturally it would, so I added in an osx fallback where if no distro version detected, use fallback unix method, which is what all the other unices use. 6. Along with space in source name, fixed mapped handling a bit more too for partitions. 6. Added cifs remote file system to disk size used blacklist, and iso9660. Not sure how I'd missed those for so long. 7. OpenBSD vmstat in 6.3 changed the column order for avm/fre, and changed to a, sigh, human readable default format, in M, so to handle this for all bsds, I had to make a dynamic column detection for avm and fre, and use those after, and also i had to add in a M detection, if found, *1024 and strip out M, sigh. 8. OpenBSD, another alternate ordering/syntax issue, the dmesg.boot data for disks does not always use the same order in comma separated list, saw user case where the first item after : was the MB size, not the second. Made detection dynamic. 9. Due to Android case, found types where no cpu speed data was found, no max speed at least, which tripped an error due to null data for ARM, this is now handled, now cpu speed min/max read permissions in /sys are checked first before trying to read, and default failures are better handled. 10. On man page, added in clarification of the moving of Memory: item from Info: line to ram Memory: line, explaining when it appears where. I do not removing the item from -I, I may revert that change, I find it non-intuitive to move that around. Enhancements: 1. Added display manager Ly, plus Ly version number. Thanks NamedKitten, this closes issues #166 #165 #162 2. Improved documentation a bit to avoid ambiguity re how to get colors in output. That handles issue #161, thanks fugo for the nudge to improve the documentation. 3. First inxi on Android tests, using termux, which has a debian based apt type installer, got inxi running on at least two devices, including pixel2, but discovered that apparently as of android 5, /sys is now locked up in terms of wildcard reads, but further analysis is required, but as of now, inxi works in termux, but fails to get any Device data for A, G, or N. Thus it also fails to match IF to Device, so none of the IP data shows up. The latter will probably be fixed since Android has ip and ifconfig already, or termux does, but so far I found no way to get device data for ARM in Android 5.x and greater (checked on android 7 and 9 in real phones). 4. More disk vendors!! thanks linuxlite / linux hardware database for offering an apparently never ending list of obscure and not so obscure disk vendors and products. 5. While I was unable to get confirmation or documentation on file names for tce repo files, I guessed that localmirrors would be used, but this may be any random text file in /opt at all, no extensions, I'd have to test to confirm or deny possible values. 6. To handle more complex debugger failures, added --debug-no-proc, --debug-no-exit, to skip or enable completion where proc or sys debugger is hanging. Changes: 1. Changed vendor in A, G, and N to -x, not -xxx, this data seems much more useful and reliable than I'd first expected when I made the feature, the -xxx was more an indication of my lack of trust in the method and source, but so far it seems pretty good, so I bumped it up to an -x option. Note that also, it's quite useful to know the vendor of, say, your network or graphics card, not just the actual device internal data, which is all inxi has ever shown previously. 2. Small change, if no partition type data is found, dev, remote, mapped, default now says 'source:' instead of 'dev:' which makes more sense. Note that df calls that column 'source', so I decided to go with their language for the default not found case. Also changed mapped to say mapped. This was part of a bit of a refactor of the partition type logic, enhanced by adding mapped to existing types, and moved the entire type detection block into the main data generator, and out of the data line constructor. Optimizations: 1. Tested, and dumped, List::Util first() as a possible way to speed up grep searches of arrays, where the goal is just to see if something is in an array. My expectation was that first(), returning the first found instance of the search term, would of course be faster since it will always exit the search loop was met with the sad fact that first() is about 2 to 4 times SLOWER than grep() native builtin. I tested this fairly carefully, and used NYTProf optimizer tool and the results were totally consistent, first() was always much slower than grep(), no matter what size the array is. I assume this means the core C programming that makes grep is simply much better than the File::Util module programming that makes first(). Removed first() and now know that nothing will be faster than grep so no need to look there for speed improvements. The moral of the story: just because something should in theory be faster, does sadly not mean it will be faster, for there are bigger things at work, skill of the programmers who made the logic, how perl handles external vs internal tools, and so on. As an aside, this forms a fairly consistent pattern where I've found Perl by itself to be faster than modules in many cases, that is, it's faster to write the code out than to use a module in many cases that I have tested, so I will always test such ideas and dump every one that is in fact slower than native Perl builtins.

\- Adds (if available and/or relevant) \fBvendor:\fR item, which shows
specific vendor [product] information.
New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

\- Adds version/port(s)/driver version (if available) for each Audio
New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

New version, new man. Big bug fix, new features. Bugs: 1. Finally tracked down and solved the Xorg drivers bug which was caused by Xorg checking its list of defaults 2 times, not 1, which resulted in failed status on second try since it was already loaded. Secondary bug was found that resulted in failing to show the failed, and only showing unloaded, which was also wrong. This finally fixes issue #134 item 5. Thanks Mint users for the help on that one. 2. Small bug in Openbox version detection, typo. 3. fixed a small glitch in the dm: detection that on systems where /var/run exists but is not linked to /run, the dm would fail to get detected. Fixes: 1. Xfce when defaulting to no version found goes to 4, this is a bad idea, it's better to not show any version, since xfcie could one day be 5. 2. Fixed Blackbox fallback detection, there were cases where Blackpox not found in xprop -root, now it falls back to ps aux detection. 3. For wm: tested all known variants, added support for things like Mutter (Marco) syntax. Note that bunsenlab uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE to work around some glitches, but it's actually Openbox. If run as root, it will show openbox correctly, otherwise -Sxxx will show wm: openbox, but that's due to bunsenlabs choices there. 4. Rewrote a lot of DistroData to handle more dynamic testing of values, it's sad that at almost 2020 we are still stumbling around trying to find a consistent way to identify distros, and derived distros. 5. Added more debugger data collectors in the logging, some data was not being tracked well during log process which made debugging harder. Enhancements: 1. New feature, -Gxx now shows for Xorg drivers alternate: which are drivers that Xorg auto checks but which are not installed. Those were ignored in the past. This can be useful to see for example that there are other driver install options available. Thanks gm10 for that suggestion. 2. Tested and added the following explicit handlers for Distros: and base: in some cases: grml, peppermint, kali, siduction, aptosid, arco, manjaro, chakra, antergos, bunsenlabs, and a few others. These are a pain to add and test, basically I have to boot a live cd of each one, then test the files and ID methods, but the ID methods must also be as dynamic as possible because you never know when a distro is going to change how they use os-release vs issue vs lsb-release vs <name>-release. I would have tested a few more but their livecds failed to properly run on vbox. 3. Added a few more disk vendor IDs. 4. Added some more programs to debugger data collector for future feature vdpau, but that needs more data because we don't really know the variants for example for dual card systems. 5. Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

\- Adds PCI Bus ID/USB ID number of each Audio device.
New Feature, new version, new man page, new tarball. Laptop users should be happy, -B option now shows, if available, battery data. Quite good data for systems with /sys battery data, only rudimentary for systems using dmidecode (BSDs). dmidecode has no current voltage/charge/current supported capacity. Main row shows charge and condition. Condition shows you have much capacity the battery currently has vs its design capacity. Charge shows the Wh/percent of current capacity of battery (NOT the rated design capacity). -x adds battery vendor/model info, and battery status (like, charging, discharging, full). -xx adds battery serial number and voltage information. Note that voltage information is presented as Current Voltage / Designed minimum voltage. -xxx adds battery chemistry (like Li-ion), cycles (note: there's a bug somewhere in that makes the cycle count always be 0, I don't know if that's in the batteries, the linux kernel, but it's not inxi, just FYI, the data is simply 0 always in all my datasets so far. For dmidecode output, the location of the batter is also shown in -xxx

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, man page. Features, bugs, fixes! Bugs: 1. Color selector accepted '' as a value, which it would then write to config file, creating errors since it's not an integer value. 2. Corrected distro id error for last fallback case, making the distro ID out of the filename itself, that was missing the assignment to $distro. 3. mmcblk0 was showing up as an unmounted partition, due to failing to filter mmcblk[0-9] in unmounted. Fixes: 1. Added missing compositor kwin_wayland to compositor detections 2. For -M, on laptops, sometimes Type: would duplicate in Chassis: type: which looks silly, so now it checks to make sure the two values are different before using the Chassis: type: data. 3. -D disk vendor, added GALAX, fixed Toshiba, which sometimes occurs other than start of disk id string, so now it checks the whole string. This seems particularly common in nvme devices from Toshiba. This is the only vendor I have found that puts the vendor string later in the device id string. 4. Added protection against unreadable but present /etc/issue. This was caused by a now fixed bug in OpenSuSe, which symbolically linked to create /etc/issue from /var/run/issue, but with 600 permissions, root read only, that is. Note that this bug has since been fixed (now has the correct 644 permissions), but I figured better safe than sorry in case anyone else decides that's a good idea in the future. Now only sends to reader if readable. 5. Related to 4, made reader not exit on failure, now just prints error message and keeps going. 6. Upped maximum distro string length to 60, from 50. AntiX for example was coming in at 48, so I decided to add some safe room now that inxi does dynamic sizing, it is not a big problem having very long distro id strings. Enhancements: 1. Added basic /proc data parser to debugger. Can't get all the data or files because it's simply too big, but grabs the basics. 2. Added vcgencmd for some ARM rasberry pi debugging. 3. ARM: add model if not found in /proc/cpuinfo, or if different. 4. Added Tdie cpu sensor type, this is coming soon in latest kernels, so catching it early. Tdie will replace k10-temp sensor item temp1. 5. Added --admin extra data option, and first set of extra data, -C, which will show CPU Errata (bugs), family, model-id, stepping (as hex (decimal) or hex if less than or equal to 9), microcode (as hex). 6. Battery: added with -x option, if found, attached battery driven devices, like wifi keyboard, mouse. If upower is present, will also try to show battery charge percent for those devices. Note that -B only shows the Device-X items if -x is used, and will not show anything in -F unless there is a system, not device, battery present, or if -Fx is used and there is a Device battery detected. Added upower to recommends. 7. Basic -Dxxx disk rotation speeds added. Requires udevadm. Not all spinning disks show rotation speeds, and it depends on udevadm, so if no rotation found, it shows nothing. 8. Added explicit Arco Linux and Antergos distro ID support. This requires more checks, but in theory, both should now show Arco Linux or Antergos instead of default 'Arch Linux' as before, plus extra data if found, like version.

2018-07-03 21:36:15 +00:00
New version, new man page. Bugs: 1. Both a fix and a bug, in that inxi had an out of date list of Xorg drivers. This led to all the newer Intel devices failing to show their drivers in the Xorg driver lines, like i915, i965, and so on. Updated to full current list of Xorg drivers. This is not technically a bug since it's simply things that came into existence after that logic was last updated. But it looks like a bug. Fixes: 1. Issues #170 and #168 showed a problem with inxi believing it was running in IRC when Ansible or MOTD started inxi. This is because they are not tty so trip the non tty flag, which assumes it's in IRC in that case. The fix was to add a whitelist of known clients based on the parent name inxi discovers while running inside that parent. MOTD confirmed fixed, Ansible not confirmed. Why do people file issue reports then not follow them? Who knows. Note that this issue is easy to trip by simply doing this: echo 'fred' | inxi which disables the tty test as well. To handle that scenario, that is, when inxi is not first in the pipe, I added many known terminal client names to the whitelists. This works in my tests, though the possible terminals, or programs with embedded terminals, is quite large, but inxi handles most of them automatically. When it doesn't, file an issue and I'll add your client ID to the whitelist, and use --tty in the meantime. 2. Issue #171 by Vascom finally pinned down the wide character issue which manifests in some character sets, like greek or russian utf8. The fix was more of a work-around than a true fix, but inxi now simply checks the weather local time output for wide characters, and if detected, switches the local date/time format to iso standard, which is does not contain non ascii characters as far as I can tell. This seemed to fix the issue. 3. Added iso9660 from excluded file systems for partitions, not sure how inxi missed that one for so long. 4. See bug 1, expanded and made current supported intel drivers, and a few other drivers, so now inxi has all the supported xorg drivers again. Updated docs as well to indicate where to get that data. Enhancements: 1. As usual, more disk vendor/product ID matches, thanks to linuxlite hardware database, which never stops providing new or previously unseen disk ids. Latest favorite? Swissarmy knife maker victorinox Swissflash usb device. 2. Added Elive system base ID. 3. Added Nutyx CARDS repo type.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Fixes, stitches, and returns!! Bugs: 1. As a fix (3), failure to handle spaces in mount source names. More of a fix than a bug, since it was an old issue #63. 2. OSX errors, BSD errors, but not really inxi errors or bugs, more weird data tripping null data or unreadable file errors, but I'll call those bugs since they look like bugs to end users. See Fixes for more. 3. See Fix 4, this is sort of a bug, inxi failed to return expected values on success/failure. Fixes: 1. One of the documented config items, COLS_MAX_NO_DISPLAY had not been implemented internally. This is now corrected. 2. Apple OSX was returning errors, those were fixed. 3. Finally handled ancient issue #63, support now there for spaces in remote source name. This means that both spaces in source block name, and mount point name, are in theory both handled now. This was also to fix an osx issue #164 despite the fact that technically I do not support osx beyond fixing errors, but since in this case the issue was a long standing one, I fixed it for everything. 4. Big fix, I'd completely left undone proper unix type error number returns in inxi, oops. Thanks Unit193 for noticing that and prompting me to fix it. Now inxi returns integer success/error numbers as expected. 5. OSX xml based version info broke, of course, naturally it would, so I added in an osx fallback where if no distro version detected, use fallback unix method, which is what all the other unices use. 6. Along with space in source name, fixed mapped handling a bit more too for partitions. 6. Added cifs remote file system to disk size used blacklist, and iso9660. Not sure how I'd missed those for so long. 7. OpenBSD vmstat in 6.3 changed the column order for avm/fre, and changed to a, sigh, human readable default format, in M, so to handle this for all bsds, I had to make a dynamic column detection for avm and fre, and use those after, and also i had to add in a M detection, if found, *1024 and strip out M, sigh. 8. OpenBSD, another alternate ordering/syntax issue, the dmesg.boot data for disks does not always use the same order in comma separated list, saw user case where the first item after : was the MB size, not the second. Made detection dynamic. 9. Due to Android case, found types where no cpu speed data was found, no max speed at least, which tripped an error due to null data for ARM, this is now handled, now cpu speed min/max read permissions in /sys are checked first before trying to read, and default failures are better handled. 10. On man page, added in clarification of the moving of Memory: item from Info: line to ram Memory: line, explaining when it appears where. I do not removing the item from -I, I may revert that change, I find it non-intuitive to move that around. Enhancements: 1. Added display manager Ly, plus Ly version number. Thanks NamedKitten, this closes issues #166 #165 #162 2. Improved documentation a bit to avoid ambiguity re how to get colors in output. That handles issue #161, thanks fugo for the nudge to improve the documentation. 3. First inxi on Android tests, using termux, which has a debian based apt type installer, got inxi running on at least two devices, including pixel2, but discovered that apparently as of android 5, /sys is now locked up in terms of wildcard reads, but further analysis is required, but as of now, inxi works in termux, but fails to get any Device data for A, G, or N. Thus it also fails to match IF to Device, so none of the IP data shows up. The latter will probably be fixed since Android has ip and ifconfig already, or termux does, but so far I found no way to get device data for ARM in Android 5.x and greater (checked on android 7 and 9 in real phones). 4. More disk vendors!! thanks linuxlite / linux hardware database for offering an apparently never ending list of obscure and not so obscure disk vendors and products. 5. While I was unable to get confirmation or documentation on file names for tce repo files, I guessed that localmirrors would be used, but this may be any random text file in /opt at all, no extensions, I'd have to test to confirm or deny possible values. 6. To handle more complex debugger failures, added --debug-no-proc, --debug-no-exit, to skip or enable completion where proc or sys debugger is hanging. Changes: 1. Changed vendor in A, G, and N to -x, not -xxx, this data seems much more useful and reliable than I'd first expected when I made the feature, the -xxx was more an indication of my lack of trust in the method and source, but so far it seems pretty good, so I bumped it up to an -x option. Note that also, it's quite useful to know the vendor of, say, your network or graphics card, not just the actual device internal data, which is all inxi has ever shown previously. 2. Small change, if no partition type data is found, dev, remote, mapped, default now says 'source:' instead of 'dev:' which makes more sense. Note that df calls that column 'source', so I decided to go with their language for the default not found case. Also changed mapped to say mapped. This was part of a bit of a refactor of the partition type logic, enhanced by adding mapped to existing types, and moved the entire type detection block into the main data generator, and out of the data line constructor. Optimizations: 1. Tested, and dumped, List::Util first() as a possible way to speed up grep searches of arrays, where the goal is just to see if something is in an array. My expectation was that first(), returning the first found instance of the search term, would of course be faster since it will always exit the search loop was met with the sad fact that first() is about 2 to 4 times SLOWER than grep() native builtin. I tested this fairly carefully, and used NYTProf optimizer tool and the results were totally consistent, first() was always much slower than grep(), no matter what size the array is. I assume this means the core C programming that makes grep is simply much better than the File::Util module programming that makes first(). Removed first() and now know that nothing will be faster than grep so no need to look there for speed improvements. The moral of the story: just because something should in theory be faster, does sadly not mean it will be faster, for there are bigger things at work, skill of the programmers who made the logic, how perl handles external vs internal tools, and so on. As an aside, this forms a fairly consistent pattern where I've found Perl by itself to be faster than modules in many cases, that is, it's faster to write the code out than to use a module in many cases that I have tested, so I will always test such ideas and dump every one that is in fact slower than native Perl builtins.

specific vendor [product] information.
New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

New version, new man. Big bug fix, new features. Bugs: 1. Finally tracked down and solved the Xorg drivers bug which was caused by Xorg checking its list of defaults 2 times, not 1, which resulted in failed status on second try since it was already loaded. Secondary bug was found that resulted in failing to show the failed, and only showing unloaded, which was also wrong. This finally fixes issue #134 item 5. Thanks Mint users for the help on that one. 2. Small bug in Openbox version detection, typo. 3. fixed a small glitch in the dm: detection that on systems where /var/run exists but is not linked to /run, the dm would fail to get detected. Fixes: 1. Xfce when defaulting to no version found goes to 4, this is a bad idea, it's better to not show any version, since xfcie could one day be 5. 2. Fixed Blackbox fallback detection, there were cases where Blackpox not found in xprop -root, now it falls back to ps aux detection. 3. For wm: tested all known variants, added support for things like Mutter (Marco) syntax. Note that bunsenlab uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE to work around some glitches, but it's actually Openbox. If run as root, it will show openbox correctly, otherwise -Sxxx will show wm: openbox, but that's due to bunsenlabs choices there. 4. Rewrote a lot of DistroData to handle more dynamic testing of values, it's sad that at almost 2020 we are still stumbling around trying to find a consistent way to identify distros, and derived distros. 5. Added more debugger data collectors in the logging, some data was not being tracked well during log process which made debugging harder. Enhancements: 1. New feature, -Gxx now shows for Xorg drivers alternate: which are drivers that Xorg auto checks but which are not installed. Those were ignored in the past. This can be useful to see for example that there are other driver install options available. Thanks gm10 for that suggestion. 2. Tested and added the following explicit handlers for Distros: and base: in some cases: grml, peppermint, kali, siduction, aptosid, arco, manjaro, chakra, antergos, bunsenlabs, and a few others. These are a pain to add and test, basically I have to boot a live cd of each one, then test the files and ID methods, but the ID methods must also be as dynamic as possible because you never know when a distro is going to change how they use os-release vs issue vs lsb-release vs <name>-release. I would have tested a few more but their livecds failed to properly run on vbox. 3. Added a few more disk vendor IDs. 4. Added some more programs to debugger data collector for future feature vdpau, but that needs more data because we don't really know the variants for example for dual card systems. 5. Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

\- Adds (for single GPU, nvidia driver) screen number that GPU is running on.
New version, new man. Big bug fix, new features. Bugs: 1. Finally tracked down and solved the Xorg drivers bug which was caused by Xorg checking its list of defaults 2 times, not 1, which resulted in failed status on second try since it was already loaded. Secondary bug was found that resulted in failing to show the failed, and only showing unloaded, which was also wrong. This finally fixes issue #134 item 5.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

\- Adds IP v6 additional scope data, like Global, Site, Temporary for
New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

.B \-x \-I\fR
New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

\- Adds current init system (and init rc in some cases, like OpenRC).
New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more.

With \fB\-xx\fR, shows init/rc version number, if available.
New version, new man. Big bug fix, new features. Bugs: 1. Finally tracked down and solved the Xorg drivers bug which was caused by Xorg checking its list of defaults 2 times, not 1, which resulted in failed status on second try since it was already loaded. Secondary bug was found that resulted in failing to show the failed, and only showing unloaded, which was also wrong. This finally fixes issue #134 item 5. Thanks Mint users for the help on that one. 2. Small bug in Openbox version detection, typo. 3. fixed a small glitch in the dm: detection that on systems where /var/run exists but is not linked to /run, the dm would fail to get detected. Fixes: 1. Xfce when defaulting to no version found goes to 4, this is a bad idea, it's better to not show any version, since xfcie could one day be 5. 2. Fixed Blackbox fallback detection, there were cases where Blackpox not found in xprop -root, now it falls back to ps aux detection. 3. For wm: tested all known variants, added support for things like Mutter (Marco) syntax. Note that bunsenlab uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE to work around some glitches, but it's actually Openbox. If run as root, it will show openbox correctly, otherwise -Sxxx will show wm: openbox, but that's due to bunsenlabs choices there. 4. Rewrote a lot of DistroData to handle more dynamic testing of values, it's sad that at almost 2020 we are still stumbling around trying to find a consistent way to identify distros, and derived distros. 5. Added more debugger data collectors in the logging, some data was not being tracked well during log process which made debugging harder. Enhancements: 1. New feature, -Gxx now shows for Xorg drivers alternate: which are drivers that Xorg auto checks but which are not installed. Those were ignored in the past. This can be useful to see for example that there are other driver install options available. Thanks gm10 for that suggestion. 2. Tested and added the following explicit handlers for Distros: and base: in some cases: grml, peppermint, kali, siduction, aptosid, arco, manjaro, chakra, antergos, bunsenlabs, and a few others. These are a pain to add and test, basically I have to boot a live cd of each one, then test the files and ID methods, but the ID methods must also be as dynamic as possible because you never know when a distro is going to change how they use os-release vs issue vs lsb-release vs <name>-release. I would have tested a few more but their livecds failed to properly run on vbox. 3. Added a few more disk vendor IDs. 4. Added some more programs to debugger data collector for future feature vdpau, but that needs more data because we don't really know the variants for example for dual card systems. 5. Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item.

\- Adds default system gcc. With \fB\-xx\fR, also show other installed gcc
New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

New version, many small fixes. And a hall of shame, LOL. Bugs: 1. Issue #188 exposed a situation in glxinfo where the required opengl fields are present but contain null data. This happens when a system does not have the required opengl drivers, which was the case here. inxi failed to handle that. Thanks LinuxMonger for posting the required data to figure this corner case out. 2. Fixed a long time bug in Disk vendor ID, there was an eq (string equals) where it was supposed to use regex pattern match. Oops. Would have led to disk vendor id failures in several cases. Fixes: 1. help, man updates for RAM/Memory data, more clarifications. 2. Refactored RepoData class/package, to make it easier to handle repo string data, and make it all overall cleaner internally, and enable future extensions to certain features in inxi that may or may not one day become active. 3. Added to some regex compares \Q$VAR\E to disable regex characters in strings. I should have used that a long time ago, oh well, better late than never! 4. Found a horrible case were xdpyinfo uses 'preferred' instead of the actual pixel dimensions, shame on whoever allowed that output!!! shame! Had to add a workaround to make sure numeric values are present, if not, then use the fallback, which means, 2x more data parsing to get data that should not require that, but in this example, it did (an Arch derivative, but it could be xdpyinfo itself, don't know)> Enhancements: 1. More fixes on issue #185. Thanks tubecleaner for finding and provding required data to really solve a set of RAM issues that apply particularly in production systems. This issue report led to 2 new options: --memory-short, which only shows a basic RAM report. Memory: RAM: total: 31.43 GiB used: 14.98 GiB (47.7%) Report: arrays: 1 slots: 4 modules: 2 type: DDR4 And a 2nd, --memory-modules, only shows the occupied slots. This can be useful in situations where it's a server or vm with a lot of slots, most empty: Memory: RAM: total: 31.43 GiB used: 15.44 GiB (49.1%) Array-1: capacity: 256 GiB slots: 4 EC: None Device-1: DIMM 1 size: 16 GiB speed: 2400 MT/s Device-2: DIMM 1 size: 16 GiB speed: 2400 MT/s Note that both of these options trigger -m, so -m itself is not required. 2. More disk vendors!! The list never ends! Thanks linux-lite hardware database and users for supplying, and buying/obtaining, apparently every disk known to mankind. 3. Added fallback XFCE detection, in cases were the system does not have xprop installed, it's still possible to do a full detection of xfce, including toolkit, so now inxi does that, one less dependency to detect one more desktop. 4. Added vmwgfx driver to xorg drivers list. Note, I've never actually seen this in the wild, but I did see it as the kernel reported driver from lspci, so it may exist. Unfixed: 1. Issue #187 EnochTheWise (?) did not supply the required debugger data so there is a RAID ZFS issue that will not get fixed until the required debugger data is supplied. Please do not waste all our time filing an issue if you have no intention of actually following through so we can get it fixed. Note that a key way we get issues here is from Perl errors on the screen, which are a frequent cause of someone realizing something is wrong. This is why I'm not going to do a hack fix for the RAID ZFS issue, then the error messages will go away, and it will likely never get handled. For examples of good, useful, productive issue reports, and how to do them right: #188 and #185, both of which led to good improvements in how inxi handles corner cases in those areas.

All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

\- If present, adds maximum memory module/device size in the Array line.
New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

Only some systems will have this data available. Shows estimate if it can
New version, new man. Big update, corrects many small typos, adds some good new features. So now inxi and pinxi will grab the inxi.1 or pinxi.1 man file and install it on systems that do not have -U blocked. The -U block of course remains the same. New features: 1. now does not require root or 'file' to get unmounted fs type. Also, for many mounted partitions, rather than showing the meaningless fuseblock it will usually get the filesystem right. 2. -U now works with optional --man option to download man page for pinxi and -U 3 dev server updates. This gets around the fact I had to remove the gz files from master to get the size small enough to make maintainers happy. Non branch inxi master works as before, updates both from github or from dev server, depending on your selection. 3. Thanks very much to the people who have been contributing in a positve way, helping to make inxi better. The untold number of small and large new features, small glitches, etc, that have been fixed this week are simply too many too list. Many to most were inxi bugs or weaknesses, now corrected. 4. binxi branch has now been made fully operational, though I do not plan on doing any work beyond the mothballing of that venerable program (gawk->bash inxi), it's fully operational, it updates, it gets its man page, but all as binxi, so you can, as with pinxi, run all of them separately. This officially terminates my support for Gawk/Bash inxi, which can be found as binxi in the inxi-legacy branch. 5. pinxi has been promoted to permanent development branch, where bug fixes, new features, etc, will be tested, along with man page updates etc. This will help reduce the number of commits to master branch. 6. Audio / Network usb cards now show the true driver(s). There are often more than one for audio, that's a nice enancement. 7. inxi outputs to json / xml, which will probably interest some developers eventually, well it already did, that was going to wait, but someone wanted it. 8. Apt repo handler now supports DEB822 format, which is not an easy format to parse. ========================================================== MAINTAINERS: Note the following: despite my strong dislike for tags, every commit that touches either inxi or inxi.1 man page will be tagged if I think they would be something relevant to distro packagers. While github insists on calling my tags releases, I want to be crystal clear: inxi has one and only one 'release', the current master branch version. The tagged commits that github calls releases are NOT releases, they are just tagged commits. The version I release tomorrow will be the current master, and all previous versions will be obsolete and will not be supported. The .gz files have been removed from the master branch history, thus shrinking it a lot. I have removed for this reason the master-plain branch, which mirrored master and provided a gz free branch, but apparently this was simply ignored so there's no reason to keep it going. If you insist on grabbing all the branches and find more data in there, then please correct your practices, you are only getting the data from the master branch. inxi is rolling release software and has no releases, so the tags are supposed to create some illusion that a tag actually means something. Since it doesn't, I decided to take the path of least resistance and just add an auto tagging tool to my commit scripts and use it when it seems appropriate, like on this commit. All development work now will happen via the pinxi branch, so that makes the process a lot cleaner, since I can now basically beta test all new commmits to master. pinxi and binxi are both standalone versions of inxi, they have their own config and data directories, config files, man pages, etc. ----------------------------------------------------- New Perl inxi is already way ahead of Gawk/Bash inxi, more features, more accurate, and most bugs being fixed now are because a lot of people are contributing eyes and testing, and are finding stuff that was wrong, or simply missing, on old inxi as well as on Perl inxi. Fixes to Perl inxi (>2.9) will not be rolled into to binxi since the entire reason I spent over 4 months on this project was to never have to touch Gawk/Bash inxi again. Most imporant, however, is that the simple fact was, Gawk/Bash inxi has been nearly impossible to work on despite my following rigorous practices in coding, and I simply won't work with that type of stuff anymore. Perl 5.x is a true delight in comparison, and makes adding new features, enhancing others, far easier, or even possible, where it wasn't before. On a technical level, I have tested Perl inxi heavily, and it will run on all Perl 5.x versions back to 5.008, which is the cutoff point. This was not that hard to do, which is why I picked Perl 5.x as the language. This means that you can drop, just as with binxi, Perl inxi onto a 10 year old system, or older, and it will run fine, albeit a touch slowly, but must faster than binxi. ----------------------------------------------------- So far users are really liking the new one, it's usually faster in most cases, the output is cleaner, there's more data, more options, and basically it's gotten the thumbs up from all the testers, and there have been a LOT, who have helped. I want to give a special thanks to the following distros for their exceptional support and testing: 0. the people who hang out on irc.oftc.net #smxi. Very patient, will test things with astounding patience, so thanks to them. Archerseven, iotaka and KittyKatt have been been incredibly helpful when it comes to testing and debugging, and finding corner cases that I would never have found. 1. AntiX: they were the first to beta test pinxi, and found massive numbers of bugs, and stuck with the testing for a long time. They made testing possible for the next wave of testers, my hats off to them, I've always liked them. 2. Manjaro also was very helpful, and found more issues and enhancements. 3. Ubuntu forums users found more, and helped enhance many faetures 4. Mint users have been very helpful, and were the impetus for some nifty new features, ilke switching all color codes off when output is piped or sent to file. They have reminded me of how valuable people's views can be who may not share the same tech world view as you, but are still very talented and observant individuals. 5. Slackware users provided some very thoughtful feedback, which was no surprise but welcome nonetheless, thanks. 6. Same with Debian forums, again, some very useful and constructive ideas and observations, and some very arcane and odd hardware that exposed even more corner case bugs. And several other distros were also helpful, each in their own way. Solus for example now has their package manager added in repos.

generate one.
New version, new man. Big bug fix, new features. Bugs: 1. Finally tracked down and solved the Xorg drivers bug which was caused by Xorg checking its list of defaults 2 times, not 1, which resulted in failed status on second try since it was already loaded. Secondary bug was found that resulted in failing to show the failed, and only showing unloaded, which was also wrong. This finally fixes issue #134 item 5. Thanks Mint users for the help on that one. 2. Small bug in Openbox version detection, typo. 3. fixed a small glitch in the dm: detection that on systems where /var/run exists but is not linked to /run, the dm would fail to get detected. Fixes: 1. Xfce when defaulting to no version found goes to 4, this is a bad idea, it's better to not show any version, since xfcie could one day be 5. 2. Fixed Blackbox fallback detection, there were cases where Blackpox not found in xprop -root, now it falls back to ps aux detection. 3. For wm: tested all known variants, added support for things like Mutter (Marco) syntax. Note that bunsenlab uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE to work around some glitches, but it's actually Openbox. If run as root, it will show openbox correctly, otherwise -Sxxx will show wm: openbox, but that's due to bunsenlabs choices there. 4. Rewrote a lot of DistroData to handle more dynamic testing of values, it's sad that at almost 2020 we are still stumbling around trying to find a consistent way to identify distros, and derived distros. 5. Added more debugger data collectors in the logging, some data was not being tracked well during log process which made debugging harder. Enhancements: 1. New feature, -Gxx now shows for Xorg drivers alternate: which are drivers that Xorg auto checks but which are not installed. Those were ignored in the past. This can be useful to see for example that there are other driver install options available. Thanks gm10 for that suggestion. 2. Tested and added the following explicit handlers for Distros: and base: in some cases: grml, peppermint, kali, siduction, aptosid, arco, manjaro, chakra, antergos, bunsenlabs, and a few others. These are a pain to add and test, basically I have to boot a live cd of each one, then test the files and ID methods, but the ID methods must also be as dynamic as possible because you never know when a distro is going to change how they use os-release vs issue vs lsb-release vs <name>-release. I would have tested a few more but their livecds failed to properly run on vbox. 3. Added a few more disk vendor IDs. 4. Added some more programs to debugger data collector for future feature vdpau, but that needs more data because we don't really know the variants for example for dual card systems. 5. Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item.

\- Adds device type in the Device line.
New version, new man. Completed man edits. Many small bugs fixed. Enhancements: 1. in some cases, will detect partition table type (GTP,MBR) either with or without root. Uses fast method, which is not available on all systems. 2. Added IPMI sensors tools ipmitool and ipmi-sensors to -s for systems that use IPMI. 3. Finished man page edits and corrections. Thanks Pete. 4. Added doubled word filter for main -NGA lines, only for Card items. 5. Gave more granular uptime output: like: uptime: 23d 5h 34m

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

.B \-x \-N\fR
New version, new man. Fixes, stitches, and returns!! Bugs: 1. As a fix (3), failure to handle spaces in mount source names. More of a fix than a bug, since it was an old issue #63. 2. OSX errors, BSD errors, but not really inxi errors or bugs, more weird data tripping null data or unreadable file errors, but I'll call those bugs since they look like bugs to end users. See Fixes for more. 3. See Fix 4, this is sort of a bug, inxi failed to return expected values on success/failure. Fixes: 1. One of the documented config items, COLS_MAX_NO_DISPLAY had not been implemented internally. This is now corrected. 2. Apple OSX was returning errors, those were fixed. 3. Finally handled ancient issue #63, support now there for spaces in remote source name. This means that both spaces in source block name, and mount point name, are in theory both handled now. This was also to fix an osx issue #164 despite the fact that technically I do not support osx beyond fixing errors, but since in this case the issue was a long standing one, I fixed it for everything. 4. Big fix, I'd completely left undone proper unix type error number returns in inxi, oops. Thanks Unit193 for noticing that and prompting me to fix it. Now inxi returns integer success/error numbers as expected. 5. OSX xml based version info broke, of course, naturally it would, so I added in an osx fallback where if no distro version detected, use fallback unix method, which is what all the other unices use. 6. Along with space in source name, fixed mapped handling a bit more too for partitions. 6. Added cifs remote file system to disk size used blacklist, and iso9660. Not sure how I'd missed those for so long. 7. OpenBSD vmstat in 6.3 changed the column order for avm/fre, and changed to a, sigh, human readable default format, in M, so to handle this for all bsds, I had to make a dynamic column detection for avm and fre, and use those after, and also i had to add in a M detection, if found, *1024 and strip out M, sigh. 8. OpenBSD, another alternate ordering/syntax issue, the dmesg.boot data for disks does not always use the same order in comma separated list, saw user case where the first item after : was the MB size, not the second. Made detection dynamic. 9. Due to Android case, found types where no cpu speed data was found, no max speed at least, which tripped an error due to null data for ARM, this is now handled, now cpu speed min/max read permissions in /sys are checked first before trying to read, and default failures are better handled. 10. On man page, added in clarification of the moving of Memory: item from Info: line to ram Memory: line, explaining when it appears where. I do not removing the item from -I, I may revert that change, I find it non-intuitive to move that around. Enhancements: 1. Added display manager Ly, plus Ly version number. Thanks NamedKitten, this closes issues #166 #165 #162 2. Improved documentation a bit to avoid ambiguity re how to get colors in output. That handles issue #161, thanks fugo for the nudge to improve the documentation. 3. First inxi on Android tests, using termux, which has a debian based apt type installer, got inxi running on at least two devices, including pixel2, but discovered that apparently as of android 5, /sys is now locked up in terms of wildcard reads, but further analysis is required, but as of now, inxi works in termux, but fails to get any Device data for A, G, or N. Thus it also fails to match IF to Device, so none of the IP data shows up. The latter will probably be fixed since Android has ip and ifconfig already, or termux does, but so far I found no way to get device data for ARM in Android 5.x and greater (checked on android 7 and 9 in real phones). 4. More disk vendors!! thanks linuxlite / linux hardware database for offering an apparently never ending list of obscure and not so obscure disk vendors and products. 5. While I was unable to get confirmation or documentation on file names for tce repo files, I guessed that localmirrors would be used, but this may be any random text file in /opt at all, no extensions, I'd have to test to confirm or deny possible values. 6. To handle more complex debugger failures, added --debug-no-proc, --debug-no-exit, to skip or enable completion where proc or sys debugger is hanging. Changes: 1. Changed vendor in A, G, and N to -x, not -xxx, this data seems much more useful and reliable than I'd first expected when I made the feature, the -xxx was more an indication of my lack of trust in the method and source, but so far it seems pretty good, so I bumped it up to an -x option. Note that also, it's quite useful to know the vendor of, say, your network or graphics card, not just the actual device internal data, which is all inxi has ever shown previously. 2. Small change, if no partition type data is found, dev, remote, mapped, default now says 'source:' instead of 'dev:' which makes more sense. Note that df calls that column 'source', so I decided to go with their language for the default not found case. Also changed mapped to say mapped. This was part of a bit of a refactor of the partition type logic, enhanced by adding mapped to existing types, and moved the entire type detection block into the main data generator, and out of the data line constructor. Optimizations: 1. Tested, and dumped, List::Util first() as a possible way to speed up grep searches of arrays, where the goal is just to see if something is in an array. My expectation was that first(), returning the first found instance of the search term, would of course be faster since it will always exit the search loop was met with the sad fact that first() is about 2 to 4 times SLOWER than grep() native builtin. I tested this fairly carefully, and used NYTProf optimizer tool and the results were totally consistent, first() was always much slower than grep(), no matter what size the array is. I assume this means the core C programming that makes grep is simply much better than the File::Util module programming that makes first(). Removed first() and now know that nothing will be faster than grep so no need to look there for speed improvements. The moral of the story: just because something should in theory be faster, does sadly not mean it will be faster, for there are bigger things at work, skill of the programmers who made the logic, how perl handles external vs internal tools, and so on. As an aside, this forms a fairly consistent pattern where I've found Perl by itself to be faster than modules in many cases, that is, it's faster to write the code out than to use a module in many cases that I have tested, so I will always test such ideas and dump every one that is in fact slower than native Perl builtins.

All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Fine tunings. New features: 1. for a very few systems that have wmctrl installed, will shows -xxx wm if present Enhancements: 1. made xorg display server and protocols show more consistently with other layout: Display: x11 server: X.org 1.9.12 drivers: loaded: ... if no display protocol found: Display: server: X.org 1.9.12 drivers: loaded: ... This brings the -G in line with the other lines, of not putting different data types inside of parentheses as much as possible. -I still has two of these, but so far it's not clear how to otherwise show SSH or su/sudo/login in their respective spaces. Debugger data collector also has something I should have added ages ago, gz filename now includes the basic 2 digit inxi version number, like 3.0 at end, so I can readily determine the debugger inxi version, and thus avoid having to root through lots of versions to find new stuff. These are all largely cosmetic improvements, or debugger adjustments, except for -Sxxx now offering wm: if present. Also changed Desktop: name... (toolkit data) to: Desktop: name... tk: toolkit data to be more consistent, while not adding great length to the output. These two changes should also help export to json/xml since that puts unique key/values back into key value pairs, not merging two together.

\- md\-raid: Adds second RAID Info line with extra data: blocks, chunk size,
New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.
2018-04-06 22:52:08 +00:00
bitmap (if present). Resync line, shows blocks synced/total blocks.
New version, man page. New features and fixes! Bugs: 1. -I line, sometimes running in showed sudo. This is hopefully now corrected. Fixes: 1. CPU architectures, small reordering based on hopefully more reliable data source, but these are hard to find conclusively. 2. -S Distro id: switched ordering of prefered os-release sources, PRETTY_NAME is not being used consistently, too many distros leave out the distro id found in VERSION, so now it uses NAME + VERSION if both are there, then PRETTY_NAME as a fallback. That reverses how it was, but it will provide better results for most distros. Distros that did this properly to begin with should see no change. 3. Now that inxi is basically debugged and working, I've removed the output of 'inxi' from the -t lines. It remains for the pinxi branch however so you can see how many resources pinxi uses to run. 4. ipmi sensors data are proving to be as random as lm-sensors. Added another alternate syntax for sensors. 5. CPU: found an alternate syntax, again, for IPMI and sensors data, added support, I hope, for that. Enhancements: 1. Added /proc debugger tool to debugger. Due to oddities with how the /proc file system is created, it will only run as user, not root, unless the --proc flag is used. More programs added to debugger commands. 2. More disk vendor strings added, fine tuning of vendor detections. There is a tendency in NVMe disk names to put the vendor name in the middle of the string. That is now handled for a few key vendors. 3. Added basic ARM SOC and server support. This will require more work in the future because the syntax used varies significantly device to device, but the featuers are now in place to add that support. Most SBC ARM devices should now at least show the model and details data in machine data, and some will show -G -A -N data as well. 4. ARM CPU: added first attempt to show the cpu variant as well as the more generic ARM data. This shows 1 or more variants, some ARM devices have two different cpu cores running at different speeds. Odroid for example. 5. Added system 'base:' data for -Sx, that modifies Distro: in supported cases. Currently only Mint and MX/AntiX supported because each specific distro must be handled explicitly using empirical file based data tests. I decided against showing this for rolling release, since really everyone knows that Antergos is made from Arch Linux, so showing that does not provide much useful information, whereas showing the Ubuntu version Mint was made from does. Note that several derived distros are changing how they use os-release, so the tools had to be revised to be more dynamic, which is a pain, and makes it even more empirical and less predictable to print what should be trivially easy to gather distro and derived source data. If your distro is not in this list and you want the base data to be present, please supply a --debug 22 dataset so I can check all the files required to make the detection work. If your distro has changed methods, please note which methods were used in the past, and which are used now. 6. Added Armbian distro detection, that's tricky. Added Rasbpian detections. Added improved Antergos, Arco, and maybe Chakra, Arch detections. 7. Big one: Hardware RAID basic support added. Note that each vendor, and unfortunatley, often each product line, has its own raid status and drive reporting tools, which makes adding the actual drive/raid/status report part very time consuming to add. I may only support this if a certain software maker's raid tools are installed because they are much simpler to parse, but for now, it only shows the presence of the raid device itself, not disks, raid status, etc.

\- Hardware RAID: Adds driver version, bus ID.
New version, new tarball, new man page. Unless disabled by distribution maintainers, offers weather -w option. With -x, -xx-, -xxx, shows more information. Basic line is just weather and system time there. -x adds time zone, which is useful for servers, particurly web servers. -x also adds wind speed. -xx adds humidity and barometric pressure. -xxx adds a possible new line, if data is available, heat index, wind chill, and dew point. -xxx also adds a line for location (blocked by irc/-z) / weather observation time. -z filter applies as usual to location data, removes it in irc by default. -Z overrides override. The api this uses is probably going to be dropped at some point, so this is just going to work while it works, then it will need to be updated at some point, so don't get very attached to it. Also adds option to, with -w: -! location=<location string> This lets users send an alternate location using either <city,state> or <postal code> or <latitude,longitude> (commas for city,state and latitude,longitude are not optional, and the order must be as listed. If There is a developer flag if distro maintainers do not want this enabled, simply set: B_ALLOW_WEATHER='false' before packaging and the weather feature will be disabled.

New version, new tarball. New features, bug fixes. This is a big one. NEW FEATURES: 1. By Request: Disk vendor is now generally going to be shown. Since this uses empirical data to grab the vendor name, from the model string, it will not always find anything. When it fails to find vendor data, no vendor: item will show. Note that some MMC devices will probably not show vendor data, but that's due to there being no data that reveals that. 2. Extended -sx volts to also show voltage from lm-sensors if present. Many systems show no voltage data with lm-sensors, but now if any is found, it will show, same as impi. 3. Moved to lsblk as primary source for partition/unmounted filesystem, uuid, and label data. Falls back to previous methods if lsblk does not return data. Some lsblk do not show complete data unless super user as well. 4. Refactored code to be more logical and clear. 5. Added for OpenBSD -r: /etc/installurl file. BUG FIXES: 1. CRITICAL: /sys/block/xxx/device/model is in some cases truncating the disk model name to 16 characters. This is not an inxi bug, it's a bug with /sys itself. To fix this, inxi now uses for GNU/Linux /dev/disk/by-id data which does not ever do this truncation. It's also faster I believe to read that directory once, filter the results, then use the data for vendor/model/serial. this was also part of the disk vendor data feature. 2. Openbsd networking fix. Was not showing IF data, now it does. 3. Fixed bug with unmounted where sometimes md0 type partitions would show even though they are in a raid array. 4. Fixed disk rev, now it searches for 3 different files in /sys to get that data. 5. Fixed bug with very old systems, with sudo 1.6 or older, for some reason that error did not get redirected to /dev/null, so now only using sudo -n after explicit version test, only if 1.7 or newer. 6. Fixed a few null results in fringe cases for graphics. Resolution now shows NA for Hz if no hz data found. This was only present on a fringe user case which is unlikely to ever impact normal X installations. 7. Fixed BSD L2 cache, was showing MiB instead of KiB, wrong math.

New version, new man. Small new enhancements. 1. Added to -s for ipmi, with -x: voltage 12v,5v,3.3v,vbat; for -xx, dimm/soc p1/p2 voltages 2. enhanced wm: feature, needed more filters and protection against redundant data 3. basic apple osx fixes to keep it from crashing, but I'm not spending any more time on apple junk unless someone pays me for my time, I can't stand the product or company, it's the total antitheses of freedom or free software, or even openness. 4. openbsd/bsd fixes: openbsd was failing to get cpu flags due to a small oversight 5. -C now shows bits: for the true bits of cpu, not the kernel bits. This is not a reliable measurement but should be right about 95+ percent of the time, and basically all of the time for GNU/Linux on Intel/AMD, most of the time for ARM. When it doesn't know it does not guess, and shows N/A. 6. bsd fix for usb, was running numeric action on string value 7. fixed stderr tool for program_version, now it's hard-coded in program_values which removes an unneded regex search for every program version test. 8. Mate detection, switched to using mate-sesssion instead of mate-about, the latter is not getting updated and has the wrong version number on it.

New version, new man. Big bug fix, new features. Bugs: 1. Finally tracked down and solved the Xorg drivers bug which was caused by Xorg checking its list of defaults 2 times, not 1, which resulted in failed status on second try since it was already loaded. Secondary bug was found that resulted in failing to show the failed, and only showing unloaded, which was also wrong. This finally fixes issue #134 item 5. Thanks Mint users for the help on that one. 2. Small bug in Openbox version detection, typo. 3. fixed a small glitch in the dm: detection that on systems where /var/run exists but is not linked to /run, the dm would fail to get detected. Fixes: 1. Xfce when defaulting to no version found goes to 4, this is a bad idea, it's better to not show any version, since xfcie could one day be 5. 2. Fixed Blackbox fallback detection, there were cases where Blackpox not found in xprop -root, now it falls back to ps aux detection. 3. For wm: tested all known variants, added support for things like Mutter (Marco) syntax. Note that bunsenlab uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE to work around some glitches, but it's actually Openbox. If run as root, it will show openbox correctly, otherwise -Sxxx will show wm: openbox, but that's due to bunsenlabs choices there. 4. Rewrote a lot of DistroData to handle more dynamic testing of values, it's sad that at almost 2020 we are still stumbling around trying to find a consistent way to identify distros, and derived distros. 5. Added more debugger data collectors in the logging, some data was not being tracked well during log process which made debugging harder. Enhancements: 1. New feature, -Gxx now shows for Xorg drivers alternate: which are drivers that Xorg auto checks but which are not installed. Those were ignored in the past. This can be useful to see for example that there are other driver install options available. Thanks gm10 for that suggestion. 2. Tested and added the following explicit handlers for Distros: and base: in some cases: grml, peppermint, kali, siduction, aptosid, arco, manjaro, chakra, antergos, bunsenlabs, and a few others. These are a pain to add and test, basically I have to boot a live cd of each one, then test the files and ID methods, but the ID methods must also be as dynamic as possible because you never know when a distro is going to change how they use os-release vs issue vs lsb-release vs <name>-release. I would have tested a few more but their livecds failed to properly run on vbox. 3. Added a few more disk vendor IDs. 4. Added some more programs to debugger data collector for future feature vdpau, but that needs more data because we don't really know the variants for example for dual card systems. 5. Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item.

a subset of distributions. The distro must be both derived from a parent distro (e.g. Mint from

the complexity of distribution identification, these will only be added as relatively solid
methods are found for each distribution system base detection.

\- Adds memory use output to CPU (\fB\-xt c\fR), and CPU use to memory
(\fB\-xt m\fR).
New version, new man. Big update, corrects many small typos, adds some good new features. So now inxi and pinxi will grab the inxi.1 or pinxi.1 man file and install it on systems that do not have -U blocked. The -U block of course remains the same. New features: 1. now does not require root or 'file' to get unmounted fs type. Also, for many mounted partitions, rather than showing the meaningless fuseblock it will usually get the filesystem right. 2. -U now works with optional --man option to download man page for pinxi and -U 3 dev server updates. This gets around the fact I had to remove the gz files from master to get the size small enough to make maintainers happy. Non branch inxi master works as before, updates both from github or from dev server, depending on your selection. 3. Thanks very much to the people who have been contributing in a positve way, helping to make inxi better. The untold number of small and large new features, small glitches, etc, that have been fixed this week are simply too many too list. Many to most were inxi bugs or weaknesses, now corrected. 4. binxi branch has now been made fully operational, though I do not plan on doing any work beyond the mothballing of that venerable program (gawk->bash inxi), it's fully operational, it updates, it gets its man page, but all as binxi, so you can, as with pinxi, run all of them separately. This officially terminates my support for Gawk/Bash inxi, which can be found as binxi in the inxi-legacy branch. 5. pinxi has been promoted to permanent development branch, where bug fixes, new features, etc, will be tested, along with man page updates etc. This will help reduce the number of commits to master branch. 6. Audio / Network usb cards now show the true driver(s). There are often more than one for audio, that's a nice enancement. 7. inxi outputs to json / xml, which will probably interest some developers eventually, well it already did, that was going to wait, but someone wanted it. 8. Apt repo handler now supports DEB822 format, which is not an easy format to parse. ========================================================== MAINTAINERS: Note the following: despite my strong dislike for tags, every commit that touches either inxi or inxi.1 man page will be tagged if I think they would be something relevant to distro packagers. While github insists on calling my tags releases, I want to be crystal clear: inxi has one and only one 'release', the current master branch version. The tagged commits that github calls releases are NOT releases, they are just tagged commits. The version I release tomorrow will be the current master, and all previous versions will be obsolete and will not be supported. The .gz files have been removed from the master branch history, thus shrinking it a lot. I have removed for this reason the master-plain branch, which mirrored master and provided a gz free branch, but apparently this was simply ignored so there's no reason to keep it going. If you insist on grabbing all the branches and find more data in there, then please correct your practices, you are only getting the data from the master branch. inxi is rolling release software and has no releases, so the tags are supposed to create some illusion that a tag actually means something. Since it doesn't, I decided to take the path of least resistance and just add an auto tagging tool to my commit scripts and use it when it seems appropriate, like on this commit. All development work now will happen via the pinxi branch, so that makes the process a lot cleaner, since I can now basically beta test all new commmits to master. pinxi and binxi are both standalone versions of inxi, they have their own config and data directories, config files, man pages, etc. ----------------------------------------------------- New Perl inxi is already way ahead of Gawk/Bash inxi, more features, more accurate, and most bugs being fixed now are because a lot of people are contributing eyes and testing, and are finding stuff that was wrong, or simply missing, on old inxi as well as on Perl inxi. Fixes to Perl inxi (>2.9) will not be rolled into to binxi since the entire reason I spent over 4 months on this project was to never have to touch Gawk/Bash inxi again. Most imporant, however, is that the simple fact was, Gawk/Bash inxi has been nearly impossible to work on despite my following rigorous practices in coding, and I simply won't work with that type of stuff anymore. Perl 5.x is a true delight in comparison, and makes adding new features, enhancing others, far easier, or even possible, where it wasn't before. On a technical level, I have tested Perl inxi heavily, and it will run on all Perl 5.x versions back to 5.008, which is the cutoff point. This was not that hard to do, which is why I picked Perl 5.x as the language. This means that you can drop, just as with binxi, Perl inxi onto a 10 year old system, or older, and it will run fine, albeit a touch slowly, but must faster than binxi. ----------------------------------------------------- So far users are really liking the new one, it's usually faster in most cases, the output is cleaner, there's more data, more options, and basically it's gotten the thumbs up from all the testers, and there have been a LOT, who have helped. I want to give a special thanks to the following distros for their exceptional support and testing: 0. the people who hang out on irc.oftc.net #smxi. Very patient, will test things with astounding patience, so thanks to them. Archerseven, iotaka and KittyKatt have been been incredibly helpful when it comes to testing and debugging, and finding corner cases that I would never have found. 1. AntiX: they were the first to beta test pinxi, and found massive numbers of bugs, and stuck with the testing for a long time. They made testing possible for the next wave of testers, my hats off to them, I've always liked them. 2. Manjaro also was very helpful, and found more issues and enhancements. 3. Ubuntu forums users found more, and helped enhance many faetures 4. Mint users have been very helpful, and were the impetus for some nifty new features, ilke switching all color codes off when output is piped or sent to file. They have reminded me of how valuable people's views can be who may not share the same tech world view as you, but are still very talented and observant individuals. 5. Slackware users provided some very thoughtful feedback, which was no surprise but welcome nonetheless, thanks. 6. Same with Debian forums, again, some very useful and constructive ideas and observations, and some very arcane and odd hardware that exposed even more corner case bugs. And several other distros were also helpful, each in their own way. Solus for example now has their package manager added in repos.

New version, man page. Fixes, enhancements, changes. Thanks: 1. AntiX forums, for testing -C --admin, suggestions, always helpful. Bugs: 1. Added switch to set @ps_gui, I forgot case where info block was only thing that used ps_gui (Nitrux kde nomad latte case). This led to no info: data if other ps_gui switches not activated. Now each block that can use it activates it. Fixes: 1. To clarify issue #161 added help/man explanation on how to get colors in cases where you want to preserve colors for piped or redirected output. Thanks fugo. 2. LMDE 3.0 released, slightly different system base handling, so refactored to add Debian version, see enhancement 2. Tested on some old vm instances, improved old system Debian system base id, but it's empirical, distro by distro, there is no rule I can use to automatically do it, sadly. 3. 'Motherboard' sensors field name added, a few small tweaks to sensors. This was in response to issue #159, which also raised a problem I was not really aware of, user generated sensor config files, that can have totally random field names. Longer term solution, start getting data from sys to pad out lm-sensors data, or to handle cases where no lm-sensors installed. 4. Fixed kwin_11 and kwin_wayland compositor print names, I'd left out the _, which made it look strange, like there were two compositors or something. 5. Fixed latte-dock ID, I thought the program name when running was latte, not latte-dock. inxi checks for both now. Thanks Nitrux for exposing that in vm test. 6. Sensors: added in a small filter to motherboard temp, avoid values that are too high, like SYSTIN: 118 C, filters out to only use < 90 C. Very unlikely a mobo would be more than 90C unless it's a mistake or about to melt. This may correct anoymous debugger dataset report from rakasunka. Enhancements: 1. Added --admin to -v 8 and to --debugger 2x 2. Expanded system base to use Debian version tool, like the ubuntu one, that lets me match version number to codename. The ubuntu one matches code names to release dates. Added Neptune, PureOS, Sparky, Tails, to new Debian system base handler. 3. Big enhancement: --admin -C now shows a nice report on cpu vulnerabilities, and has a good error message if no data found. Report shows: Vulnerabilities: Type: [e.g. meltdown] status/mitigation: text explanation. Note: 'status' is for when no mitigation, either not applicable, or is vulnerable. 'mitigation' is when it's handled, and how. Thanks issue #160 Vascom from Fedora for that request. 4. The never-ending saga of disk vendor IDs continues. More obscure vendors, more matches to existing vendors. Thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database Changes: 1. Reordered usb output, I don't know why I had Hubs and Devices use different ordering and different -x switch priorities, that was silly, and made it hard to read. Now shows: Device/Hub: bus-id-port-id[.port-id]:device-id info: [product info] type/ports: [devices/hubs] usb: [type, speed] -x adds drivers for devices, and usb: speed is now default for devices, same as Hubs. Why I had those different is beyond me. The USB ordering is now more sensible, the various components of each matching whether hub or device. Unfixable or Won't Fix: 1. Unable to detect Nomad desktop. As far as I can tell, Nomad is only a theme applied to KDE Plasma, there is no program by that name detectable, only a reference in ps aux to a theme called nomad. 2. Nitrux system base ID will not work until they correct their /etc/os-release file. 3. Tails live cd for some inexplicable reason uses non standard /etc/os-release field names, which forces me to either do a custom detection just for them, or for them to fix this bug. I opted for ignoring it, if I let each distro break standard formats then try to work around it, the distro ID will grow to be a 1000 lines long easily. Will file distro bug reports when I find these from now on.

\- For Devices, adds driver(s).
New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Big update, corrects many small typos, adds some good new features. So now inxi and pinxi will grab the inxi.1 or pinxi.1 man file and install it on systems that do not have -U blocked. The -U block of course remains the same. New features: 1. now does not require root or 'file' to get unmounted fs type. Also, for many mounted partitions, rather than showing the meaningless fuseblock it will usually get the filesystem right. 2. -U now works with optional --man option to download man page for pinxi and -U 3 dev server updates. This gets around the fact I had to remove the gz files from master to get the size small enough to make maintainers happy. Non branch inxi master works as before, updates both from github or from dev server, depending on your selection. 3. Thanks very much to the people who have been contributing in a positve way, helping to make inxi better. The untold number of small and large new features, small glitches, etc, that have been fixed this week are simply too many too list. Many to most were inxi bugs or weaknesses, now corrected. 4. binxi branch has now been made fully operational, though I do not plan on doing any work beyond the mothballing of that venerable program (gawk->bash inxi), it's fully operational, it updates, it gets its man page, but all as binxi, so you can, as with pinxi, run all of them separately. This officially terminates my support for Gawk/Bash inxi, which can be found as binxi in the inxi-legacy branch. 5. pinxi has been promoted to permanent development branch, where bug fixes, new features, etc, will be tested, along with man page updates etc. This will help reduce the number of commits to master branch. 6. Audio / Network usb cards now show the true driver(s). There are often more than one for audio, that's a nice enancement. 7. inxi outputs to json / xml, which will probably interest some developers eventually, well it already did, that was going to wait, but someone wanted it. 8. Apt repo handler now supports DEB822 format, which is not an easy format to parse. ========================================================== MAINTAINERS: Note the following: despite my strong dislike for tags, every commit that touches either inxi or inxi.1 man page will be tagged if I think they would be something relevant to distro packagers. While github insists on calling my tags releases, I want to be crystal clear: inxi has one and only one 'release', the current master branch version. The tagged commits that github calls releases are NOT releases, they are just tagged commits. The version I release tomorrow will be the current master, and all previous versions will be obsolete and will not be supported. The .gz files have been removed from the master branch history, thus shrinking it a lot. I have removed for this reason the master-plain branch, which mirrored master and provided a gz free branch, but apparently this was simply ignored so there's no reason to keep it going. If you insist on grabbing all the branches and find more data in there, then please correct your practices, you are only getting the data from the master branch. inxi is rolling release software and has no releases, so the tags are supposed to create some illusion that a tag actually means something. Since it doesn't, I decided to take the path of least resistance and just add an auto tagging tool to my commit scripts and use it when it seems appropriate, like on this commit. All development work now will happen via the pinxi branch, so that makes the process a lot cleaner, since I can now basically beta test all new commmits to master. pinxi and binxi are both standalone versions of inxi, they have their own config and data directories, config files, man pages, etc. ----------------------------------------------------- New Perl inxi is already way ahead of Gawk/Bash inxi, more features, more accurate, and most bugs being fixed now are because a lot of people are contributing eyes and testing, and are finding stuff that was wrong, or simply missing, on old inxi as well as on Perl inxi. Fixes to Perl inxi (>2.9) will not be rolled into to binxi since the entire reason I spent over 4 months on this project was to never have to touch Gawk/Bash inxi again. Most imporant, however, is that the simple fact was, Gawk/Bash inxi has been nearly impossible to work on despite my following rigorous practices in coding, and I simply won't work with that type of stuff anymore. Perl 5.x is a true delight in comparison, and makes adding new features, enhancing others, far easier, or even possible, where it wasn't before. On a technical level, I have tested Perl inxi heavily, and it will run on all Perl 5.x versions back to 5.008, which is the cutoff point. This was not that hard to do, which is why I picked Perl 5.x as the language. This means that you can drop, just as with binxi, Perl inxi onto a 10 year old system, or older, and it will run fine, albeit a touch slowly, but must faster than binxi. ----------------------------------------------------- So far users are really liking the new one, it's usually faster in most cases, the output is cleaner, there's more data, more options, and basically it's gotten the thumbs up from all the testers, and there have been a LOT, who have helped. I want to give a special thanks to the following distros for their exceptional support and testing: 0. the people who hang out on irc.oftc.net #smxi. Very patient, will test things with astounding patience, so thanks to them. Archerseven, iotaka and KittyKatt have been been incredibly helpful when it comes to testing and debugging, and finding corner cases that I would never have found. 1. AntiX: they were the first to beta test pinxi, and found massive numbers of bugs, and stuck with the testing for a long time. They made testing possible for the next wave of testers, my hats off to them, I've always liked them. 2. Manjaro also was very helpful, and found more issues and enhancements. 3. Ubuntu forums users found more, and helped enhance many faetures 4. Mint users have been very helpful, and were the impetus for some nifty new features, ilke switching all color codes off when output is piped or sent to file. They have reminded me of how valuable people's views can be who may not share the same tech world view as you, but are still very talented and observant individuals. 5. Slackware users provided some very thoughtful feedback, which was no surprise but welcome nonetheless, thanks. 6. Same with Debian forums, again, some very useful and constructive ideas and observations, and some very arcane and odd hardware that exposed even more corner case bugs. And several other distros were also helpful, each in their own way. Solus for example now has their package manager added in repos.

\- Adds humidity and barometric pressure.
New version, new man. Big bug fix, new features. Bugs: 1. Finally tracked down and solved the Xorg drivers bug which was caused by Xorg checking its list of defaults 2 times, not 1, which resulted in failed status on second try since it was already loaded. Secondary bug was found that resulted in failing to show the failed, and only showing unloaded, which was also wrong. This finally fixes issue #134 item 5. Thanks Mint users for the help on that one. 2. Small bug in Openbox version detection, typo. 3. fixed a small glitch in the dm: detection that on systems where /var/run exists but is not linked to /run, the dm would fail to get detected. Fixes: 1. Xfce when defaulting to no version found goes to 4, this is a bad idea, it's better to not show any version, since xfcie could one day be 5. 2. Fixed Blackbox fallback detection, there were cases where Blackpox not found in xprop -root, now it falls back to ps aux detection. 3. For wm: tested all known variants, added support for things like Mutter (Marco) syntax. Note that bunsenlab uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE to work around some glitches, but it's actually Openbox. If run as root, it will show openbox correctly, otherwise -Sxxx will show wm: openbox, but that's due to bunsenlabs choices there. 4. Rewrote a lot of DistroData to handle more dynamic testing of values, it's sad that at almost 2020 we are still stumbling around trying to find a consistent way to identify distros, and derived distros. 5. Added more debugger data collectors in the logging, some data was not being tracked well during log process which made debugging harder. Enhancements: 1. New feature, -Gxx now shows for Xorg drivers alternate: which are drivers that Xorg auto checks but which are not installed. Those were ignored in the past. This can be useful to see for example that there are other driver install options available. Thanks gm10 for that suggestion. 2. Tested and added the following explicit handlers for Distros: and base: in some cases: grml, peppermint, kali, siduction, aptosid, arco, manjaro, chakra, antergos, bunsenlabs, and a few others. These are a pain to add and test, basically I have to boot a live cd of each one, then test the files and ID methods, but the ID methods must also be as dynamic as possible because you never know when a distro is going to change how they use os-release vs issue vs lsb-release vs <name>-release. I would have tested a few more but their livecds failed to properly run on vbox. 3. Added a few more disk vendor IDs. 4. Added some more programs to debugger data collector for future feature vdpau, but that needs more data because we don't really know the variants for example for dual card systems. 5. Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item.

New version, new man. Completed man edits. Many small bugs fixed. Enhancements: 1. in some cases, will detect partition table type (GTP,MBR) either with or without root. Uses fast method, which is not available on all systems. 2. Added IPMI sensors tools ipmitool and ipmi-sensors to -s for systems that use IPMI. 3. Finished man page edits and corrections. Thanks Pete. 4. Added doubled word filter for main -NGA lines, only for Card items. 5. Gave more granular uptime output: like: uptime: 23d 5h 34m

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

Added to -s for ipmi, with -x: voltage 12v,5v,3.3v,vbat; for -xx, dimm/soc p1/p2 voltages 2. enhanced wm: feature, needed more filters and protection against redundant data 3. basic apple osx fixes to keep it from crashing, but I'm not spending any more time on apple junk unless someone pays me for my time, I can't stand the product or company, it's the total antitheses of freedom or free software, or even openness. 4. openbsd/bsd fixes: openbsd was failing to get cpu flags due to a small oversight 5. -C now shows bits: for the true bits of cpu, not the kernel bits. This is not a reliable measurement but should be right about 95+ percent of the time, and basically all of the time for GNU/Linux on Intel/AMD, most of the time for ARM. When it doesn't know it does not guess, and shows N/A. 6. bsd fix for usb, was running numeric action on string value 7. fixed stderr tool for program_version, now it's hard-coded in program_values which removes an unneded regex search for every program version test. 8. Mate detection, switched to using mate-sesssion instead of mate-about, the latter is not getting updated and has the wrong version number on it.

data (if available) as the voltage now / minimum design voltage.
New Feature, new version, new man page, new tarball. Laptop users should be happy, -B option now shows, if available, battery data. Quite good data for systems with /sys battery data, only rudimentary for systems using dmidecode (BSDs). dmidecode has no current voltage/charge/current supported capacity. Main row shows charge and condition. Condition shows you have much capacity the battery currently has vs its design capacity. Charge shows the Wh/percent of current capacity of battery (NOT the rated design capacity). -x adds battery vendor/model info, and battery status (like, charging, discharging, full). -xx adds battery serial number and voltage information. Note that voltage information is presented as Current Voltage / Designed minimum voltage. -xxx adds battery chemistry (like Li-ion), cycles (note: there's a bug somewhere in that makes the cycle count always be 0, I don't know if that's in the batteries, the linux kernel, but it's not inxi, just FYI, the data is simply 0 always in all my datasets so far. For dmidecode output, the location of the batter is also shown in -xxx

New version, new man page. Bug fix, enhancements, fixes. Bugs: 1. Big bug found on certain systems, they use non system memory memory arrays, inxi failed to anticipate that situation, and would exit with error when run as root for -m when it hit those array types. These arrays did not have modules listed, so the module array was undefined, which caused the failure. Thanks Manjaro anonymous debugger dataset 'loki' for finding this failure. This is literally the first dataset I've seen that had this issue, but who knows how many other system boards will show something like that as well. Fixes: 1. Related to bug 1, do not show the max module size item if not system memory and size is less than 10 MiB. Assuming there that it's one of these odd boards. Enhancements: 1. For bug 1, extended Memory: report to include array type if not system memory. That instance had Video Memory, Flash Memory, and Cache Memory arrays along with the regular System Memory array. Now shows: use: Video Memory for example if not System Memory to make it clear what is going on. 2. Added basic Parrot system base, but for some inexplicable reason, Parrot changed the /etc/debian_version file to show 'stable' instead of the release number. Why? Who knows, it would be so much easier if people making these derived distros would be consistent and not change things for no good reason. 3. Added a few more pattern matches to existing vendors for disks. As usual, thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database for the endless lists of disk data. 4. Added internal dmidecode debugger switches, that makes it much easier to inject test dmidecode data from text files using debugger switches internally. 5. Added -Cxx item, which will run if root and -C are used, now grabs L1 and L3 cache data from dmidecode and shows it. I didn't realize that data was there, not sure how I'd missed it all these years, I guess pinxi really is much easier to work on! This only runs if user has dmidecode permissions from root or sudo.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

\- Adds disk serial number.
New version, new man. Big bug fix, new features. Bugs: 1. Finally tracked down and solved the Xorg drivers bug which was caused by Xorg checking its list of defaults 2 times, not 1, which resulted in failed status on second try since it was already loaded. Secondary bug was found that resulted in failing to show the failed, and only showing unloaded, which was also wrong. This finally fixes issue #134 item 5. Thanks Mint users for the help on that one. 2. Small bug in Openbox version detection, typo. 3. fixed a small glitch in the dm: detection that on systems where /var/run exists but is not linked to /run, the dm would fail to get detected. Fixes: 1. Xfce when defaulting to no version found goes to 4, this is a bad idea, it's better to not show any version, since xfcie could one day be 5. 2. Fixed Blackbox fallback detection, there were cases where Blackpox not found in xprop -root, now it falls back to ps aux detection. 3. For wm: tested all known variants, added support for things like Mutter (Marco) syntax. Note that bunsenlab uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE to work around some glitches, but it's actually Openbox. If run as root, it will show openbox correctly, otherwise -Sxxx will show wm: openbox, but that's due to bunsenlabs choices there. 4. Rewrote a lot of DistroData to handle more dynamic testing of values, it's sad that at almost 2020 we are still stumbling around trying to find a consistent way to identify distros, and derived distros. 5. Added more debugger data collectors in the logging, some data was not being tracked well during log process which made debugging harder. Enhancements: 1. New feature, -Gxx now shows for Xorg drivers alternate: which are drivers that Xorg auto checks but which are not installed. Those were ignored in the past. This can be useful to see for example that there are other driver install options available. Thanks gm10 for that suggestion. 2. Tested and added the following explicit handlers for Distros: and base: in some cases: grml, peppermint, kali, siduction, aptosid, arco, manjaro, chakra, antergos, bunsenlabs, and a few others. These are a pain to add and test, basically I have to boot a live cd of each one, then test the files and ID methods, but the ID methods must also be as dynamic as possible because you never know when a distro is going to change how they use os-release vs issue vs lsb-release vs <name>-release. I would have tested a few more but their livecds failed to properly run on vbox. 3. Added a few more disk vendor IDs. 4. Added some more programs to debugger data collector for future feature vdpau, but that needs more data because we don't really know the variants for example for dual card systems. 5. Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item.

New version, new tarball. This version is very peaceful, no big changes, just a few fixes and small new features added. This version corrects a few small glitches reported by users, and adds basic support for disk speed report. Note that this is not as accurate as I'd like, it tries, but there is not a lot of data to be had. Limits of disk speed seems to be, roughly: 1. most speed is reported as max board can do, not max drive can support 2. usually when speed is reported as lower than max board speed, it's correct, but, as usual, exceptions to this were found during testing. 3. usually if drive is faster than board speed, it reports board speed, but, again, exceptions to this rule were found during testing. However, with this said, it's usually more or less right, at least right in terms of the fastest speed you can expect to get with your board. NVMe was also supported, that's much more complicated because NVMe has >= 1 lane, and each lane has up and down data. The reported speed is max in one direction, and is a function of the PCIe 1,2 20% overhead, and PCIe 3,4,5 ~1.5% overhead. inxi shows the actual usable data rate, not the GT/s rate, which is the total transfers per second the unit supports. So due to the unreliable nature of the data, this is only a -xx option. There is also in general no data for USB, and none for mmcblk (sd cards usually). This feature may be enhanced with a C Perl XS library in the future, we'll see how that goes. FIXES: 1. corrected an issue where a networking card of type Bridge failed to be detected. This is now handled. This was a PCI type I'd never seen before, but it exists, and a user had it, so now it will work as expected for this type. 2. changed the default units in weather to be m (metric) imperial (i). While this is not very intuitive for me, it's easier to explain I think. The previous c / f syntax is supported internally, and inxi will just translate c to m and f to i, so it doesn't matter which is or was used on a config file or with the --weather-unit option. 3. BSD uptime had a parsing glitch, there was a spelling variant I'd never seen in GNU/Linux that broke the regex. This is corrected now. 4. Fixed a few small man page glitches, some ordering stuff, nothing major. 5. Fixed BSD hostname issues. There was a case where a setup could have no hostname, inxi did not handle that correctly. This fix would have applied to gnu/linux as well. 6. Fixed a few bsd, openbsd mostly, dm detections, there is a secondary path in OpenBSD that was not checked. This also went along with refactoring the dm logic to be much more efficient and optimized. 7. Fine tuned dmidecode error message. 8. Fixed PCI ID issue, it was failing to catch a certain bridged network type. 9. A more global fix for unhandled tmpfs types, in this case, shm, but added a global test that will handle all tmpfs from now on, and exclude that data from -p reports. NEW FEATURES: 1. First attempt to add basic disk speed (Gb/s). Supported types: ATA, NVMe. No speed data so far handled or found: mmcblk; USB. Also possibly older /dev/hda type devices (IDE bus) may not get handled in all cases. This may get more work in the future, but that's a long ways off. This case oddly was one where BSDs had support for basic disk speed reports before GNU/Linux, but that was really just because it was part of a single data line that inxi parsed for disk data anyway with BSDs. 2. Man items added for -Dxx disk speed options.
2018-05-21 21:45:09 +00:00
\- Adds disk speed (if available). This is the theoretical top speed of the
device as reported. This speed may be restricted by system board limits, eg.
a SATA 3 drive on a SATA 2 board may report SATA 2 speeds, but this is not
completely consistent, sometimes a SATA 3 device on a SATA 2 board reports
its design speed.
NVMe drives: adds lanes, and (per direction) speed is calculated with
lane speed * lanes * PCIe overhead. PCIe 1 and 2 have data rates of
GT/s * .8 = Gb/s (10 bits required to transfer 8 bits of data).
PCIe 3 and greater transfer data at a rate of GT/s * 128/130 * lanes = Gb/s
(130 bits required to transfer 128 bits of data).
For a PCIe 3 NVMe drive, with speed of \fB8 GT/s\fR and \fB4\fR lanes
(\fB8GT/s * 128/130 * 4 = 31.6 Gb/s\fR):
\fBspeed: 31.6 Gb/s lanes: 4\fR

\- For free drivers, adds OpenGL compatibility version number if available.
New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item.

\- If available, shows \fBalternate:\fR Xorg drivers. This means a driver on
the default list of drivers Xorg automatically checks for the card, but which
is not installed. For example, if you have \fBnouveau\fR driver, \fBnvidia\fR would
show as alternate if it was not installed. Note that \fBalternate:\fR does NOT mean you
should have it, it's just one of the drivers Xorg checks to see if is present
and loaded when checking the card. This can let you know there are other driver options.
Note that if you have explicitly set the driver in \fBxorg.conf\fR, Xorg will not
create this automatic check driver list.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

\- Adds init type version number (and rc if present).
New version, new man. Big bug fix, new features. Bugs: 1. Finally tracked down and solved the Xorg drivers bug which was caused by Xorg checking its list of defaults 2 times, not 1, which resulted in failed status on second try since it was already loaded. Secondary bug was found that resulted in failing to show the failed, and only showing unloaded, which was also wrong. This finally fixes issue #134 item 5. Thanks Mint users for the help on that one. 2. Small bug in Openbox version detection, typo. 3. fixed a small glitch in the dm: detection that on systems where /var/run exists but is not linked to /run, the dm would fail to get detected. Fixes: 1. Xfce when defaulting to no version found goes to 4, this is a bad idea, it's better to not show any version, since xfcie could one day be 5. 2. Fixed Blackbox fallback detection, there were cases where Blackpox not found in xprop -root, now it falls back to ps aux detection. 3. For wm: tested all known variants, added support for things like Mutter (Marco) syntax. Note that bunsenlab uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE to work around some glitches, but it's actually Openbox. If run as root, it will show openbox correctly, otherwise -Sxxx will show wm: openbox, but that's due to bunsenlabs choices there. 4. Rewrote a lot of DistroData to handle more dynamic testing of values, it's sad that at almost 2020 we are still stumbling around trying to find a consistent way to identify distros, and derived distros. 5. Added more debugger data collectors in the logging, some data was not being tracked well during log process which made debugging harder. Enhancements: 1. New feature, -Gxx now shows for Xorg drivers alternate: which are drivers that Xorg auto checks but which are not installed. Those were ignored in the past. This can be useful to see for example that there are other driver install options available. Thanks gm10 for that suggestion. 2. Tested and added the following explicit handlers for Distros: and base: in some cases: grml, peppermint, kali, siduction, aptosid, arco, manjaro, chakra, antergos, bunsenlabs, and a few others. These are a pain to add and test, basically I have to boot a live cd of each one, then test the files and ID methods, but the ID methods must also be as dynamic as possible because you never know when a distro is going to change how they use os-release vs issue vs lsb-release vs <name>-release. I would have tested a few more but their livecds failed to properly run on vbox. 3. Added a few more disk vendor IDs. 4. Added some more programs to debugger data collector for future feature vdpau, but that needs more data because we don't really know the variants for example for dual card systems. 5. Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item.

New version, new man. Completed man edits. Many small bugs fixed. Enhancements: 1. in some cases, will detect partition table type (GTP,MBR) either with or without root. Uses fast method, which is not available on all systems. 2. Added IPMI sensors tools ipmitool and ipmi-sensors to -s for systems that use IPMI. 3. Finished man page edits and corrections. Thanks Pete. 4. Added doubled word filter for main -NGA lines, only for Card items. 5. Gave more granular uptime output: like: uptime: 23d 5h 34m

\- Adds system default runlevel, if detected. Supports Systemd/Upstart/SysVinit
New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

\- Adds parent program (or tty) that started shell, if not IRC client.
New version, new tarball, new man page. Fixed an old bug where if you start inxi with an ssh command sometimes it will not show any client information, just the debugger PPID output. Now it will test as a final check to see if it can detect any parent to the process. Actually grandparent I believe. Seems to work, it's a fringe case but why not handle it? New -xx feature, for -I it will show, if inxi is not running in IRC client and if is running in X, and if the grandparent is not 'login', will show the application the shell is running in. Example: Info: Processes: 271 Uptime: 5:36 Memory: 3255.8/4048.5MB Runlevel: 3 Gcc sys: 4.7.2 alt: 4.0/4.2/4.4/4.5/4.6 Client: Shell (bash 4.2.37 - started in konsole) inxi: 1.8.33

New version, many small fixes. And a hall of shame, LOL. Bugs: 1. Issue #188 exposed a situation in glxinfo where the required opengl fields are present but contain null data. This happens when a system does not have the required opengl drivers, which was the case here. inxi failed to handle that. Thanks LinuxMonger for posting the required data to figure this corner case out. 2. Fixed a long time bug in Disk vendor ID, there was an eq (string equals) where it was supposed to use regex pattern match. Oops. Would have led to disk vendor id failures in several cases. Fixes: 1. help, man updates for RAM/Memory data, more clarifications. 2. Refactored RepoData class/package, to make it easier to handle repo string data, and make it all overall cleaner internally, and enable future extensions to certain features in inxi that may or may not one day become active. 3. Added to some regex compares \Q$VAR\E to disable regex characters in strings. I should have used that a long time ago, oh well, better late than never! 4. Found a horrible case were xdpyinfo uses 'preferred' instead of the actual pixel dimensions, shame on whoever allowed that output!!! shame! Had to add a workaround to make sure numeric values are present, if not, then use the fallback, which means, 2x more data parsing to get data that should not require that, but in this example, it did (an Arch derivative, but it could be xdpyinfo itself, don't know)> Enhancements: 1. More fixes on issue #185. Thanks tubecleaner for finding and provding required data to really solve a set of RAM issues that apply particularly in production systems. This issue report led to 2 new options: --memory-short, which only shows a basic RAM report. Memory: RAM: total: 31.43 GiB used: 14.98 GiB (47.7%) Report: arrays: 1 slots: 4 modules: 2 type: DDR4 And a 2nd, --memory-modules, only shows the occupied slots. This can be useful in situations where it's a server or vm with a lot of slots, most empty: Memory: RAM: total: 31.43 GiB used: 15.44 GiB (49.1%) Array-1: capacity: 256 GiB slots: 4 EC: None Device-1: DIMM 1 size: 16 GiB speed: 2400 MT/s Device-2: DIMM 1 size: 16 GiB speed: 2400 MT/s Note that both of these options trigger -m, so -m itself is not required. 2. More disk vendors!! The list never ends! Thanks linux-lite hardware database and users for supplying, and buying/obtaining, apparently every disk known to mankind. 3. Added fallback XFCE detection, in cases were the system does not have xprop installed, it's still possible to do a full detection of xfce, including toolkit, so now inxi does that, one less dependency to detect one more desktop. 4. Added vmwgfx driver to xorg drivers list. Note, I've never actually seen this in the wild, but I did see it as the kernel reported driver from lspci, so it may exist. Unfixed: 1. Issue #187 EnochTheWise (?) did not supply the required debugger data so there is a RAID ZFS issue that will not get fixed until the required debugger data is supplied. Please do not waste all our time filing an issue if you have no intention of actually following through so we can get it fixed. Note that a key way we get issues here is from Perl errors on the screen, which are a frequent cause of someone realizing something is wrong. This is why I'm not going to do a hack fix for the RAID ZFS issue, then the error messages will go away, and it will likely never get handled. For examples of good, useful, productive issue reports, and how to do them right: #188 and #185, both of which led to good improvements in how inxi handles corner cases in those areas.

This can be useful to see for example that there are other driver install options available. Thanks gm10 for that suggestion. 2. Tested and added the following explicit handlers for Distros: and base: in some cases: grml, peppermint, kali, siduction, aptosid, arco, manjaro, chakra, antergos, bunsenlabs, and a few others. These are a pain to add and test, basically I have to boot a live cd of each one, then test the files and ID methods, but the ID methods must also be as dynamic as possible because you never know when a distro is going to change how they use os-release vs issue vs lsb-release vs <name>-release. I would have tested a few more but their livecds failed to properly run on vbox. 3. Added a few more disk vendor IDs. 4. Added some more programs to debugger data collector for future feature vdpau, but that needs more data because we don't really know the variants for example for dual card systems. 5. Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

New version, new man. Big bug fix, new features. Bugs: 1. Finally tracked down and solved the Xorg drivers bug which was caused by Xorg checking its list of defaults 2 times, not 1, which resulted in failed status on second try since it was already loaded. Secondary bug was found that resulted in failing to show the failed, and only showing unloaded, which was also wrong. This finally fixes issue #134 item 5. Thanks Mint users for the help on that one. 2. Small bug in Openbox version detection, typo. 3. fixed a small glitch in the dm: detection that on systems where /var/run exists but is not linked to /run, the dm would fail to get detected. Fixes: 1. Xfce when defaulting to no version found goes to 4, this is a bad idea, it's better to not show any version, since xfcie could one day be 5. 2. Fixed Blackbox fallback detection, there were cases where Blackpox not found in xprop -root, now it falls back to ps aux detection. 3. For wm: tested all known variants, added support for things like Mutter (Marco) syntax. Note that bunsenlab uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE to work around some glitches, but it's actually Openbox. If run as root, it will show openbox correctly, otherwise -Sxxx will show wm: openbox, but that's due to bunsenlabs choices there. 4. Rewrote a lot of DistroData to handle more dynamic testing of values, it's sad that at almost 2020 we are still stumbling around trying to find a consistent way to identify distros, and derived distros. 5. Added more debugger data collectors in the logging, some data was not being tracked well during log process which made debugging harder. Enhancements: 1. New feature, -Gxx now shows for Xorg drivers alternate: which are drivers that Xorg auto checks but which are not installed. Those were ignored in the past.

all of the time since it depends on the order that data is found in \fBdmidecode\fR
New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

output for \fBtype 6\fR and \fBtype 17\fR.
New version, new tarball. Another logic redo to handle a fringe case (dmidecode places type 17 in front of type 16), now each array is created as a multidimenstional, 2x array, and each device is a 3 dimensional array. This seems to clean up the problems with bad ordering of dmidecode data.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi.

Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

shows progress bar.
New version, man page. New features and fixes! Bugs: 1. -I line, sometimes running in showed sudo. This is hopefully now corrected. Fixes: 1. CPU architectures, small reordering based on hopefully more reliable data source, but these are hard to find conclusively. 2. -S Distro id: switched ordering of prefered os-release sources, PRETTY_NAME is not being used consistently, too many distros leave out the distro id found in VERSION, so now it uses NAME + VERSION if both are there, then PRETTY_NAME as a fallback. That reverses how it was, but it will provide better results for most distros. Distros that did this properly to begin with should see no change. 3. Now that inxi is basically debugged and working, I've removed the output of 'inxi' from the -t lines. It remains for the pinxi branch however so you can see how many resources pinxi uses to run. 4. ipmi sensors data are proving to be as random as lm-sensors. Added another alternate syntax for sensors. 5. CPU: found an alternate syntax, again, for IPMI and sensors data, added support, I hope, for that. Enhancements: 1. Added /proc debugger tool to debugger. Due to oddities with how the /proc file system is created, it will only run as user, not root, unless the --proc flag is used. More programs added to debugger commands. 2. More disk vendor strings added, fine tuning of vendor detections. There is a tendency in NVMe disk names to put the vendor name in the middle of the string. That is now handled for a few key vendors. 3. Added basic ARM SOC and server support. This will require more work in the future because the syntax used varies significantly device to device, but the featuers are now in place to add that support. Most SBC ARM devices should now at least show the model and details data in machine data, and some will show -G -A -N data as well. 4. ARM CPU: added first attempt to show the cpu variant as well as the more generic ARM data. This shows 1 or more variants, some ARM devices have two different cpu cores running at different speeds. Odroid for example. 5. Added system 'base:' data for -Sx, that modifies Distro: in supported cases. Currently only Mint and MX/AntiX supported because each specific distro must be handled explicitly using empirical file based data tests. I decided against showing this for rolling release, since really everyone knows that Antergos is made from Arch Linux, so showing that does not provide much useful information, whereas showing the Ubuntu version Mint was made from does. Note that several derived distros are changing how they use os-release, so the tools had to be revised to be more dynamic, which is a pain, and makes it even more empirical and less predictable to print what should be trivially easy to gather distro and derived source data. If your distro is not in this list and you want the base data to be present, please supply a --debug 22 dataset so I can check all the files required to make the detection work. If your distro has changed methods, please note which methods were used in the past, and which are used now. 6. Added Armbian distro detection, that's tricky. Added Rasbpian detections. Added improved Antergos, Arco, and maybe Chakra, Arch detections. 7. Big one: Hardware RAID basic support added. Note that each vendor, and unfortunatley, often each product line, has its own raid status and drive reporting tools, which makes adding the actual drive/raid/status report part very time consuming to add. I may only support this if a certain software maker's raid tools are installed because they are much simpler to parse, but for now, it only shows the presence of the raid device itself, not disks, raid status, etc.

New version, new man. Small new enhancements. 1. Added to -s for ipmi, with -x: voltage 12v,5v,3.3v,vbat; for -xx, dimm/soc p1/p2 voltages 2. enhanced wm: feature, needed more filters and protection against redundant data 3. basic apple osx fixes to keep it from crashing, but I'm not spending any more time on apple junk unless someone pays me for my time, I can't stand the product or company, it's the total antitheses of freedom or free software, or even openness. 4. openbsd/bsd fixes: openbsd was failing to get cpu flags due to a small oversight 5. -C now shows bits: for the true bits of cpu, not the kernel bits. This is not a reliable measurement but should be right about 95+ percent of the time, and basically all of the time for GNU/Linux on Intel/AMD, most of the time for ARM. When it doesn't know it does not guess, and shows N/A. 6. bsd fix for usb, was running numeric action on string value 7. fixed stderr tool for program_version, now it's hard-coded in program_values which removes an unneded regex search for every program version test. 8. Mate detection, switched to using mate-sesssion instead of mate-about, the latter is not getting updated and has the wrong version number on it.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6.

.B \-xx \-S\fR
New version, new man. Changes, bug fixes, enhancements! Don't delay! Bugs: 1. A real bug, the detection for true path of /dev/root had a mistake in it and would only have worked in half the cases. This was an easy fix, but a significant but since it also would lead to the actual root / partition showing in Unmounted. 2. Related to the item Fixes-2, if two USB networking devices were attached, the second one's bus and chip ID would go on the wrong line of data if -n or -i option were used. Since that would be the line belonging to the one above, that obviously was weird and wrong. 3. NEW: latest kernel can show hwmon data in sensors, for example from wifi chip. This broke CPU temp detection and showed way too high cpu temp, so this fix is fairly important since new kernels may have this new sensors hwmon syntax. 4. Sensors: IPMI alternate syntax found, also case with no data in expected columns, just N/A, so now the ipmi sensor logic skips all lines with non numeric values in the values column. This is what it should have done all along, it was trusting that values would always exist for the field names it looks for. Fixes: 1. ARM networking fix. ARM devices like rasberry pi that use usb bus for networking showed the no data message even though usb networking was right below it. This is corrected, and now that only shows if both main and usb networking failed for ARM. 2. Big repo fix: while testing distro and Trinity live cds, I discovered that apt is sometimes used with rpms, which made PCLinuxOS and ALT-Linux Repos item show the apt files but no data since the pattern was looking for start with deb. Added rpm to pattern, so all distros that use apt running rpms should now 'just work'. 3. Fixed more distro id things, PCLinuxOS should now show its full distro string. 4. Debugger: Filtered out more blocks of /proc, that data is bloated and messy, found another case where it collected a vast amount of junk system data from zfs in that case, just blocked the entire range. I had no idea /proc had so much junk data in it! 5. As noted above, IPMI, yet another alternate syntax for field names. My hope that IPMI software and sensors will be more logical and consistent than lm-sensors output is proving to be merely wishful thinking, I think now out of 3 datasets I've gotten, I've seen 3 variants for syntax, not to mention the ipmi-tool vs ipmi-sensors differences. So IPMI will be like all sensors stuff, a work in progress, to be updated with every newly discovered alternate syntax and data set. Enhancements: 1. Disk vendors, added some, improved pattern detections for others. This feature is getting better all the time. Thanks linuxlite hw db, easy to scan for missing vendors in their inxi data. 2. Added more wm, budgie-wm, mwm, variants of kwin and Trinity's Twin, several others, more refactoring of core wm/desktop code. 3. Added gpu ram and reworked memory logic for rasberry pi, which is the only SBC I am aware of that uses that tool. Now reports the actual total, and also gpu: for ram data, so you can tell that the gpu is using part of the total. Again, this comes from issue #153. Also added that info to man page for -I part. 4. Added more ARM and PCI cleaners for neater and more concise ARM/PCI output. 5. Added Trinity support to Desktop section, this had at least two different detection methods, but since the first just shows KDE original data, only the second one proved to be Trinity specific. Happily, the full data is available, toolkit, desktop version, and wm (Twin). 6. New -G,-A,-R -xxx feature: vendor:. Note that vendor data is very bloated and messy so it's trimmed down substantially, using a series of filters and rules, and thus it can contain the following: the actual vendor, like Dell, nothing, the motherboard vendor/product for board based PCI items, or a complete vendor/product string if it's unique. I couldn't think of a clean field name that meant: vendor OR vendor + basic product info OR motherboard + board version OR full product name, including vendor, so in the end, I just used vendor: but it's not quite the right term, but nothing else seemed to work better. Testers responded very enthusiastically about this feature so I guess the vendor: name is ok. Changes: 1. Biggest change: Drives: HDD: total: the HDD: is now changed to: Local Storage: This was part of issue #153 and is a good suggestion because HDD generally was used to refer to hard disks, spinning, but with nvme, m.2, ssd, etc, that term is a bit dated. 'Local' is because inxi does not include detected remote storage in the totals. 2. The recent --wm option which forced ps as data source for window manager detection has been reversed, now --wm forces wmctrl and ps aux is preferred. Still falls back to wm ctrl in case the ps test is null, this is better because I have to add the wm data manually for each one, whereas wmctrl has an unknown set and probably variable set of wm. Note that I reversed this because I saw several cases where wmctrl was wrong, and reported a generic source wm instead of the real one. Since most uses are not going to even be aware of the wm: feature as enhanced with --wm switch, this should have no impact on users in general. Since the detected wm name needs to be know to get assigned to wm: and wm version data, I think it will work better to have the known variants match with the wm data values, then just fallback to unknown ones that can get fille in over time as we find wm that people actually use and that you can get version info on and detect. Removed: 1. Got rid of tests for GTK compiled with version for many desktops, that test was always wrong because it did not have any necessary relation to the actual gtk version the desktop was built out of, and it also almost always returned no data. Since this is an expensive and slow test, and is always going to be wrong or empty anyway, I've removed it. My tests showed it taking about 300ms or so to generate no data, heh. That's the tk: feature in -S. Note I also found that gnome-shell takes an absurdly long time to give --version info, the slowest of all such things, 300ms again, just to show version? Someone should fix that, there's no possible reason why it should take 300 milliseconds to give a simple version string. Note that this returns tk: to only returning real data, which in this case means only xfce, kde, and trinity, which are the only desktops that actually report their toolkit data. I'll probably remove that code in the future unless I can think of some real use for gtk version elsewhere, but it's just junk data which doesn't even work. In the future, I will not try to emulate or guess at desktop toolkits, either they show the data in a direct form like XFCE or Trinity or KDE do, or I won't waste resources and execution time making bad guesses using inefficient code and logic. QT desktops like LXQt I'm leaving in because I believe those will tend to track more closely the QT version on the system, and the tests for QT version aren't huge ugly hacks the way they are for GTK, so they aren't as slow or intrusive, but those may also get removed since they almost never work either. But they are also slowing down the -Sx process so maybe they should be removed as well, I'll think about it. Since they only are used on LXQt and razer-qt, it probably isn't a big deal overall.

\- Adds display manager (\fBdm\fR) type, if present. If none, shows N/A.
Supports most known display managers, including gdm, gdm3,
New version, new man. Fine tunings. New features: 1. for a very few systems that have wmctrl installed, will shows -xxx wm if present Enhancements: 1. made xorg display server and protocols show more consistently with other layout: Display: x11 server: X.org 1.9.12 drivers: loaded: ... if no display protocol found: Display: server: X.org 1.9.12 drivers: loaded: ... This brings the -G in line with the other lines, of not putting different data types inside of parentheses as much as possible. -I still has two of these, but so far it's not clear how to otherwise show SSH or su/sudo/login in their respective spaces. Debugger data collector also has something I should have added ages ago, gz filename now includes the basic 2 digit inxi version number, like 3.0 at end, so I can readily determine the debugger inxi version, and thus avoid having to root through lots of versions to find new stuff. These are all largely cosmetic improvements, or debugger adjustments, except for -Sxxx now offering wm: if present. Also changed Desktop: name... (toolkit data) to: Desktop: name... tk: toolkit data to be more consistent, while not adding great length to the output. These two changes should also help export to json/xml since that puts unique key/values back into key value pairs, not merging two together.

idm, kdm, lightdm, lxdm, mdm, nodm, sddm, slim, tint, wdm, and xdm.
New version, new man. Several bug fixes, enhancements, options. Bugs: 1. In some cases, -S Desktop showed xfce when it wasn't xfce. This should be largely corrected now. 2. Big bug: using lxqt-about for lxqt --version, now opens a dialog box, gui, so removed that, and now checking lxqt-session for version info instead. Fixes: 1. Now calling hitachi hgst drives vendor: HGST (Hitachi) to differentiate between regular Hitachi and HGST hitachi. Added a few more disk vendors. 2. Distro base and core: added linuxlite, elementary. Some distros use: /etc/upstream-release/lsb-release so testing for that and os-release now too. 3. Extended qt detections, may catch a few stray ones now in non kde qt desktops. 4. Complete refactor of desktop, desktop info, wm, and -G compositor, now much easier to extend each feature and add detections, move order around, etc. Also moved wm to -Sxx now that I use fallback ps aux tests, which were themselves also totally refactored and optimized. Fixed WindowMaker id, which is made more annoying because they are the only upper/lower case program name, but in at least debian, the actual program name is wmaker internally. Also tightened in particular gnome-shell, which was failing to show due to too restrictive filtering of desktop/vm repeats. Most wm do not contain the desktop name in the string, gnome-shell does, only one I'm aware of. 5. Removed N/A from wmctrl output, which just means null, which is what we want. 6. Removed gnome-shell from info: since it will now appear in wm: if found. Added a few -panel items to info: Enhancements: 1. Showing type: network bridge for -N when it's type 0680, which is an odd pci type, generally it's a network bridge, but I figured it's best to show that explicitly to avoid confusion. This extends the 'type:' from just USB. 2. Added more window managers to wm, matchbox, flwm, fvwm2 (used to just use fvwm, this was wrong, it's its own thing), a few others. 3. Added a few more compositors to -Gxx. kwin_x11 should be the most noticeable, but added some more obscure ones too. This feature requires more work. 4. Extended ARM syntax to support a new one, path to /sys/device... has an extra /soc/ in it, that is now handled, all are tested for. Confirmed working. Note that ARM has to be confirmed fixed on a device by device basis, since there are key syntax differences in the paths, but it will get easier the more variants that are discovered. Added another trimmer to cut off \x00|01|02|03 special non printing characters which show as weird jibbberish in output, for model/serial number. 5. Refactored wm, info, desktop, compositor, now all use @ps_gui, which is all that is tested against, not the entire ps_cmd array. This drops the possible tests down massively since the only things in ps_gui will be the actual stuff found that matches all the patterns required for that system, not all ps items. Added marco, muffin fixes. Was showing wm: Metacity (Marco) that is not correct, now shows marco, which then allows to get version too. 5. -Sxxx now shows wm: version as well, which can be of use now and then. 6. --wm added to trip force using of ps data for wm, this can be useful because I don't know all variants of wmctrl output, so that makes it easier to test. 7. Added finally support for --debug 3, which now shows timers, functions, and args printed to screen. 8. Added qmake --version to fallback qt detection.

window manager, so this can be useful to see what window manager is actually running.
If none found, shows nothing. Uses a less accurate fallback tool \fBwmctrl\fR
if \fBps\fR tests fail to find data.
New version, new man. Fixes, a few changes, enhancements. Fixes: 1. Removed /dev/zram type data from swap partitions, since that's ram, it's not a partition, obviously. 2. More alternate IPMI syntax found, that's clearly going to take a while to have most syntaxes handled. 3. Small lm-sensors adjustment, fringe cases might scramble up hwmon and gpu temps, this is now handled. Enhancements: 1. Added disk vendors, udinfo. 2. Exciting! New Architecture: MIPS! First datasets, confirmed working. This led to more abstracting of the previously ARM specific logic to be for SOC in general. 3. Related to 2, added in fallback busybox cases for partition data without fs. 4. Added window managers, xmonad, ratpoison, 9dm, gala (for Pantheon), notion, windowlab 5. Added Pantheon desktop detection. Note, unable to find a way to get version number. 6. IMPI sensors: added in psu fans, dimm temp. 7. New -Cxxx option: cpu boost (aka turbo), state enabled / disabled, only shows if system has that option. Changes: 1. Made toolkit for -S be -xx instead of -x, only Trinity/KDE and XFCE have that data.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

\- Adds slot length.
New version, new tarball, new man page. Unless disabled by distribution maintainers, offers weather -w option. With -x, -xx-, -xxx, shows more information. Basic line is just weather and system time there. -x adds time zone, which is useful for servers, particurly web servers. -x also adds wind speed. -xx adds humidity and barometric pressure. -xxx adds a possible new line, if data is available, heat index, wind chill, and dew point. -xxx also adds a line for location (blocked by irc/-z) / weather observation time. -z filter applies as usual to location data, removes it in irc by default. -Z overrides override. The api this uses is probably going to be dropped at some point, so this is just going to work while it works, then it will need to be updated at some point, so don't get very attached to it. Also adds option to, with -w: -! location=<location string> This lets users send an alternate location using either <city,state> or <postal code> or <latitude,longitude> (commas for city,state and latitude,longitude are not optional, and the order must be as listed. If There is a developer flag if distro maintainers do not want this enabled, simply set: B_ALLOW_WEATHER='false' before packaging and the weather feature will be disabled.

RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16.

New version, new man page. Big update! Get it in before your freeze!! Bugs: 1. Maybe the vendor/product regex, which when + was used, would put out errors. 2. Maybe Fix 4, since that could lead to incorrect behavior when sudo is involved depending on sudo configuration. 3. BIG: current inxi weather will probably fail if not updated to this or newer versions!! Not an inxi bug per se, but your users will see it as one. Fixes: 1. Fixed Patriot disk ID. 2. Fixes for PPC board handling. 3. Regex cleaner fixes, this could lead to error in special cases of product vendor names. 4. crazy from frugalware pointed out that $b_root detection was flawed, and relied on a bad assumption, particularly for sudo. As usual, he's right, that is now corrected, and uses $< Perl native to determine UID. Enhancements: 1. Added septor to Debian system base. 2. Removed quiet filters for downloaders when using --dbg 1, now you see the entire download action for curl/wget downloads. This went along with issue # 174 3. New feature: --wan-ip-url. This closed issue #174. Also has user config option: WAN_IP_URL as well to make changes permanent. 4. Added --dbg 1 to man and help. The other --dbg options are random and can change, but --dbg 1 is always for downloading, so might as well tell people about it. 5. To anticipate the loss of a major weather API, inxi is redone to use smxi.org based robust API. This also allows for a new switch, --weather-source (or --ws for shorter version), options 0-9, which will trigger different APIs on smxi.org. Added WEATHER_SOURCE configuration option as well. Note that 4-9 are not currently active. Also added in better error handling for weather. The main benefit here is that inxi is now largely agnostic to the weather APIs used, and those can be changed with no impact to inxi users who are running frozen pool inxi's, or who have not updated their inxi versions. NOTE: all inxi versions older than 3.0.31 will probably fail for weather quite soon. So update your inxi version in your repos!! 6. More disk vendors IDs and matches. Thanks linuxlite hardware database. 7. Going along with weather changes, added, if present, cloud cover, rain, and snow reports. Those are for previously observed hour. 8. Small change to Intel CPU architecture, taking a guess on stepping for skylake/Cascade lake ID. Guessing if stepping is > 4, it's cascade lake. But could not find this documented, so it's a guess. At worst, it means that Cascade lake, which must be a later steppingi than 4, will not be ID'ed as skylake. 9. Documentation updates for data sources. Changes: 1. inxi now uses a new system to get weather data. There is no longer a risk of weather failing if the API used locally in inxi fails or goes away. This change should be largely invisible to casual users. 2. In weather, moved dewpoint to be after humidity, which makes a little more sense.
2019-02-07 02:31:55 +00:00
\- Adds wind chill, heat index, and dew point, if available.
New version, new man. A few more modifications to weather. Fixes: 1. In case with zero wind speed, it now shows zero, not N/A, as expected. Enhancements: 1. Depending on weather source used: * Shows precipitation, not rain/snow. * Adds Sunrise/sunset (most sources do not have this)
2019-02-08 04:52:41 +00:00
\- Adds cloud cover, rain, snow, or precipitation (amount in previous hour
to observation time), if available.
New version, new man. Changes, bug fixes, enhancements! Don't delay! Bugs: 1. A real bug, the detection for true path of /dev/root had a mistake in it and would only have worked in half the cases. This was an easy fix, but a significant but since it also would lead to the actual root / partition showing in Unmounted. 2. Related to the item Fixes-2, if two USB networking devices were attached, the second one's bus and chip ID would go on the wrong line of data if -n or -i option were used. Since that would be the line belonging to the one above, that obviously was weird and wrong. 3. NEW: latest kernel can show hwmon data in sensors, for example from wifi chip. This broke CPU temp detection and showed way too high cpu temp, so this fix is fairly important since new kernels may have this new sensors hwmon syntax. 4. Sensors: IPMI alternate syntax found, also case with no data in expected columns, just N/A, so now the ipmi sensor logic skips all lines with non numeric values in the values column. This is what it should have done all along, it was trusting that values would always exist for the field names it looks for. Fixes: 1. ARM networking fix. ARM devices like rasberry pi that use usb bus for networking showed the no data message even though usb networking was right below it. This is corrected, and now that only shows if both main and usb networking failed for ARM. 2. Big repo fix: while testing distro and Trinity live cds, I discovered that apt is sometimes used with rpms, which made PCLinuxOS and ALT-Linux Repos item show the apt files but no data since the pattern was looking for start with deb. Added rpm to pattern, so all distros that use apt running rpms should now 'just work'. 3. Fixed more distro id things, PCLinuxOS should now show its full distro string. 4. Debugger: Filtered out more blocks of /proc, that data is bloated and messy, found another case where it collected a vast amount of junk system data from zfs in that case, just blocked the entire range. I had no idea /proc had so much junk data in it! 5. As noted above, IPMI, yet another alternate syntax for field names. My hope that IPMI software and sensors will be more logical and consistent than lm-sensors output is proving to be merely wishful thinking, I think now out of 3 datasets I've gotten, I've seen 3 variants for syntax, not to mention the ipmi-tool vs ipmi-sensors differences. So IPMI will be like all sensors stuff, a work in progress, to be updated with every newly discovered alternate syntax and data set. Enhancements: 1. Disk vendors, added some, improved pattern detections for others. This feature is getting better all the time. Thanks linuxlite hw db, easy to scan for missing vendors in their inxi data. 2. Added more wm, budgie-wm, mwm, variants of kwin and Trinity's Twin, several others, more refactoring of core wm/desktop code. 3. Added gpu ram and reworked memory logic for rasberry pi, which is the only SBC I am aware of that uses that tool. Now reports the actual total, and also gpu: for ram data, so you can tell that the gpu is using part of the total. Again, this comes from issue #153. Also added that info to man page for -I part. 4. Added more ARM and PCI cleaners for neater and more concise ARM/PCI output. 5. Added Trinity support to Desktop section, this had at least two different detection methods, but since the first just shows KDE original data, only the second one proved to be Trinity specific. Happily, the full data is available, toolkit, desktop version, and wm (Twin). 6. New -G,-A,-R -xxx feature: vendor:. Note that vendor data is very bloated and messy so it's trimmed down substantially, using a series of filters and rules, and thus it can contain the following: the actual vendor, like Dell, nothing, the motherboard vendor/product for board based PCI items, or a complete vendor/product string if it's unique. I couldn't think of a clean field name that meant: vendor OR vendor + basic product info OR motherboard + board version OR full product name, including vendor, so in the end, I just used vendor: but it's not quite the right term, but nothing else seemed to work better. Testers responded very enthusiastically about this feature so I guess the vendor: name is ok. Changes: 1. Biggest change: Drives: HDD: total: the HDD: is now changed to: Local Storage: This was part of issue #153 and is a good suggestion because HDD generally was used to refer to hard disks, spinning, but with nvme, m.2, ssd, etc, that term is a bit dated. 'Local' is because inxi does not include detected remote storage in the totals. 2. The recent --wm option which forced ps as data source for window manager detection has been reversed, now --wm forces wmctrl and ps aux is preferred. Still falls back to wm ctrl in case the ps test is null, this is better because I have to add the wm data manually for each one, whereas wmctrl has an unknown set and probably variable set of wm. Note that I reversed this because I saw several cases where wmctrl was wrong, and reported a generic source wm instead of the real one. Since most uses are not going to even be aware of the wm: feature as enhanced with --wm switch, this should have no impact on users in general. Since the detected wm name needs to be know to get assigned to wm: and wm version data, I think it will work better to have the known variants match with the wm data values, then just fallback to unknown ones that can get fille in over time as we find wm that people actually use and that you can get version info on and detect. Removed: 1. Got rid of tests for GTK compiled with version for many desktops, that test was always wrong because it did not have any necessary relation to the actual gtk version the desktop was built out of, and it also almost always returned no data. Since this is an expensive and slow test, and is always going to be wrong or empty anyway, I've removed it. My tests showed it taking about 300ms or so to generate no data, heh. That's the tk: feature in -S. Note I also found that gnome-shell takes an absurdly long time to give --version info, the slowest of all such things, 300ms again, just to show version? Someone should fix that, there's no possible reason why it should take 300 milliseconds to give a simple version string. Note that this returns tk: to only returning real data, which in this case means only xfce, kde, and trinity, which are the only desktops that actually report their toolkit data. I'll probably remove that code in the future unless I can think of some real use for gtk version elsewhere, but it's just junk data which doesn't even work. In the future, I will not try to emulate or guess at desktop toolkits, either they show the data in a direct form like XFCE or Trinity or KDE do, or I won't waste resources and execution time making bad guesses using inefficient code and logic. QT desktops like LXQt I'm leaving in because I believe those will tend to track more closely the QT version on the system, and the tests for QT version aren't huge ugly hacks the way they are for GTK, so they aren't as slow or intrusive, but those may also get removed since they almost never work either. But they are also slowing down the -Sx process so maybe they should be removed as well, I'll think about it. Since they only are used on LXQt and razer-qt, it probably isn't a big deal overall.

New version, man page. Big set of changes. Full USB refactor, plus added features. Bugs: 1. A result of the issue #156 USB refactor, I discovered that the --usb sort order, which was based on Bus+DeviceID, in fact is wrong, pure and simple. This was exposed by using a second USB hub on a bus, the Device IDs are not really related in any clearly logical way to the actual position on the bus. The solution was to fully refactor the entire USB logic and then use generated alpha sorters based on the full bus-port[.port] ID. Device ID is now printed last in the ID string, like so: 1-4:1. Note that Device IDs start at 1 for each bus, regardless of how many hubs you have attached to that port. 2. Certain situations triggered a bug in Optical devices, I'd forgotten to change $_ to $key in two places. Since that part didn't normally get triggered, I'd never noticed that bug before. Thanks TinyCore for exposing that glitch! Fixes: 1. On legacy systems, fluxbox --version does not work, -v does. Corrected. 2. for --usb, network devices should now show the correct 'type: Network'. For some weird reason, the people who made the usb types didn't seem to consider many key devices, scanners, wifi/ethernet adapters, and those are almost always "Vendor defined class". 3. A really big fix, for instances where system is using only Busybox, like TinyCore, or booting into any system running busybox for whatever reason, now avoids the various errors when using busybox ps, which only for example outputs 3, not 11, default columns for ps aux, and which does not support ps -j, which is used in the start/shell client information. This gets rid of a huge spray of errors, and actually allows for pretty complete output from systems that only have busybox tools installed. This should cover everything from TinyCore to MIPS to ARM systems that run minimalist Linux. Note that this fix goes along with the /sys based USB parser, since such systems may have USB, but are unlikely to have lsusb installed, but do have /sys USB data. 4. In some cases, strings /sbin/init would trigger a false version result, fixed that logic so now it rarely will do that. Enhancements: 1. Added Mosksha desktop, that's a Bodhi fork of Enlightenment E17; added qtile window manager (no version info). 2. Added Bodhi detection; Salix + base slackware; kde neon system base; 3. Added support for slaptget repos, basic, it may not be perfecct. 4. More disk vendors, and matches for existing vendors. 5. Full rewrite of USB data, in --usb, -A, and -N, along with core usb data engines. This makes lsusb optional, though recommended (because it has a better vendor/ product ID to string internal database) than /sys data. This was in response to a second set of issues in #156 by gm10, USB drivers. Depending on the system, using only /sys data, while slightly less informative, is between 20 and 2000 milliseconds faster, so if you want speed, either use the new --usb-sys option, or the configuration file USB_SYS=[true|false] option. 1. switched to cleaner more efficient data structures 2. added ports count to hub report, linux and bsd. 3. added [--usb|-A|-N] -xxx serial for Device items, if present. 4. added --usb -xx drivers, per interface, can be 1 or more drivers. 5. fully refactored -A and -N usb device logic, far cleaner and simple now, much easier to work with, no more hacks to find things and match them. 6. USB type: now comes from /sys, and is in general going to be more accurate than the lsusb -v based method, which was always an ugly and incomplete hack. As with drivers, it also now lists all the interface types found per device, not just the first one as with the previous method. Note that HID means the more verbose: Human Interface Device, but I shortened it. Now that the type: data is created by inxi reading the class/subclass/protocal IDs, and then figuring out what to do itself, I can have quite a bit more flexibility in terms of how type is generated. 7. added --usb -xxx interfaces: [count] for devices, which lists the device interface count. This can be useful to determine if say, a usb/keyboard adapter is a 2 interface device. Note that Audio devices generally have many interfaces, since they do more than 1 thing (audio output, microphone input, etc.). 8. Support for user configuration file item: USB_SYS=[true|false]. This is useful if you want to see only the /sys version of the data, or if you want the significant speed boost not using lsusb offers, particularly on older systems with a complex USB setup, many buses, many devices, etc. New option --usb-tool overrides USB_SYS value, and forces lsusb use. 9. New options: --usb-sys - forces all usb items to use /sys data, and skip lsusb. Note that you still have to use the feature options, like --usb, -A, or -N. This can lead to a significant improvement in execution time for inxi. 10. Rather than the previous bus:device ID string, to go along with the internal sorting strings used, inxi now shows the real Bus / port /port ids, like: 1-3.2.1:3 - Bus-Port[.port]:device id. 6. Added support for Xvesa display server. Thanks for exposing that one, TinyCore! 7. Added tce package manager to repos. That's the tinycore package manager. Changes: 1. big one, after 10 plus years, the venerable 'Card-x:' for -A,-N, and -G has been replaced by the more neutral 'Device-x:'. This was a suggestion by gm10 from Mint in issue #156 This makes sense because for a long time, most of these devices are not cards, they are SOC, motherboard builtin, USB devices, etc, so the one thing they all are are some form of a device, and the one thing that they are all not is a Card. Along with the recent change from HDD: to Local Storage in Disks: this brings inxi terminology out of the ancient times and into the present. Thanks for the nudge gm10. Removed: See inxi-perl/docs/inxi-fragments.txt for removed blocks. 1. Entire parser for lsusb -v, now it all runs either usbdevs or lsusb, and if Linux and not lsusb, it will use /sys exclusively, otherwise it uses /sys data to complete the lsusb vendor/product strings. 2. Two functions that were used by -A and -N to match usb devices and get their /sys data, that became redundant since it all now goes through the /sys parser already, so those features can get the data pre-parsed from the @usb arrays.

USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

\fBdmidecode\fR derived output).
New version, new man. Big bug fix, new features. Bugs: 1. Finally tracked down and solved the Xorg drivers bug which was caused by Xorg checking its list of defaults 2 times, not 1, which resulted in failed status on second try since it was already loaded. Secondary bug was found that resulted in failing to show the failed, and only showing unloaded, which was also wrong. This finally fixes issue #134 item 5. Thanks Mint users for the help on that one. 2. Small bug in Openbox version detection, typo. 3. fixed a small glitch in the dm: detection that on systems where /var/run exists but is not linked to /run, the dm would fail to get detected. Fixes: 1. Xfce when defaulting to no version found goes to 4, this is a bad idea, it's better to not show any version, since xfcie could one day be 5. 2. Fixed Blackbox fallback detection, there were cases where Blackpox not found in xprop -root, now it falls back to ps aux detection. 3. For wm: tested all known variants, added support for things like Mutter (Marco) syntax. Note that bunsenlab uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE to work around some glitches, but it's actually Openbox. If run as root, it will show openbox correctly, otherwise -Sxxx will show wm: openbox, but that's due to bunsenlabs choices there. 4. Rewrote a lot of DistroData to handle more dynamic testing of values, it's sad that at almost 2020 we are still stumbling around trying to find a consistent way to identify distros, and derived distros. 5. Added more debugger data collectors in the logging, some data was not being tracked well during log process which made debugging harder. Enhancements: 1. New feature, -Gxx now shows for Xorg drivers alternate: which are drivers that Xorg auto checks but which are not installed. Those were ignored in the past. This can be useful to see for example that there are other driver install options available. Thanks gm10 for that suggestion. 2. Tested and added the following explicit handlers for Distros: and base: in some cases: grml, peppermint, kali, siduction, aptosid, arco, manjaro, chakra, antergos, bunsenlabs, and a few others. These are a pain to add and test, basically I have to boot a live cd of each one, then test the files and ID methods, but the ID methods must also be as dynamic as possible because you never know when a distro is going to change how they use os-release vs issue vs lsb-release vs <name>-release. I would have tested a few more but their livecds failed to properly run on vbox. 3. Added a few more disk vendor IDs. 4. Added some more programs to debugger data collector for future feature vdpau, but that needs more data because we don't really know the variants for example for dual card systems. 5. Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item.

New version, man page. Features, bugs, fixes! Bugs: 1. Color selector accepted '' as a value, which it would then write to config file, creating errors since it's not an integer value. 2. Corrected distro id error for last fallback case, making the distro ID out of the filename itself, that was missing the assignment to $distro. 3. mmcblk0 was showing up as an unmounted partition, due to failing to filter mmcblk[0-9] in unmounted. Fixes: 1. Added missing compositor kwin_wayland to compositor detections 2. For -M, on laptops, sometimes Type: would duplicate in Chassis: type: which looks silly, so now it checks to make sure the two values are different before using the Chassis: type: data. 3. -D disk vendor, added GALAX, fixed Toshiba, which sometimes occurs other than start of disk id string, so now it checks the whole string. This seems particularly common in nvme devices from Toshiba. This is the only vendor I have found that puts the vendor string later in the device id string. 4. Added protection against unreadable but present /etc/issue. This was caused by a now fixed bug in OpenSuSe, which symbolically linked to create /etc/issue from /var/run/issue, but with 600 permissions, root read only, that is. Note that this bug has since been fixed (now has the correct 644 permissions), but I figured better safe than sorry in case anyone else decides that's a good idea in the future. Now only sends to reader if readable. 5. Related to 4, made reader not exit on failure, now just prints error message and keeps going. 6. Upped maximum distro string length to 60, from 50. AntiX for example was coming in at 48, so I decided to add some safe room now that inxi does dynamic sizing, it is not a big problem having very long distro id strings. Enhancements: 1. Added basic /proc data parser to debugger. Can't get all the data or files because it's simply too big, but grabs the basics. 2. Added vcgencmd for some ARM rasberry pi debugging. 3. ARM: add model if not found in /proc/cpuinfo, or if different. 4. Added Tdie cpu sensor type, this is coming soon in latest kernels, so catching it early. Tdie will replace k10-temp sensor item temp1. 5. Added --admin extra data option, and first set of extra data, -C, which will show CPU Errata (bugs), family, model-id, stepping (as hex (decimal) or hex if less than or equal to 9), microcode (as hex). 6. Battery: added with -x option, if found, attached battery driven devices, like wifi keyboard, mouse. If upower is present, will also try to show battery charge percent for those devices. Note that -B only shows the Device-X items if -x is used, and will not show anything in -F unless there is a system, not device, battery present, or if -Fx is used and there is a Device battery detected. Added upower to recommends. 7. Basic -Dxxx disk rotation speeds added. Requires udevadm. Not all spinning disks show rotation speeds, and it depends on udevadm, so if no rotation found, it shows nothing. 8. Added explicit Arco Linux and Antergos distro ID support. This requires more checks, but in theory, both should now show Arco Linux or Antergos instead of default 'Arch Linux' as before, plus extra data if found, like version.

New version, new man. Fixes, a few changes, enhancements. Fixes: 1. Removed /dev/zram type data from swap partitions, since that's ram, it's not a partition, obviously. 2. More alternate IPMI syntax found, that's clearly going to take a while to have most syntaxes handled. 3. Small lm-sensors adjustment, fringe cases might scramble up hwmon and gpu temps, this is now handled. Enhancements: 1. Added disk vendors, udinfo. 2. Exciting! New Architecture: MIPS! First datasets, confirmed working. This led to more abstracting of the previously ARM specific logic to be for SOC in general. 3. Related to 2, added in fallback busybox cases for partition data without fs. 4. Added window managers, xmonad, ratpoison, 9dm, gala (for Pantheon), notion, windowlab 5. Added Pantheon desktop detection. Note, unable to find a way to get version number. 6. IMPI sensors: added in psu fans, dimm temp. 7. New -Cxxx option: cpu boost (aka turbo), state enabled / disabled, only shows if system has that option. Changes: 1. Made toolkit for -S be -xx instead of -x, only Trinity/KDE and XFCE have that data.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new tarball. New features, bug fixes. This is a big one. NEW FEATURES: 1. By Request: Disk vendor is now generally going to be shown. Since this uses empirical data to grab the vendor name, from the model string, it will not always find anything. When it fails to find vendor data, no vendor: item will show. Note that some MMC devices will probably not show vendor data, but that's due to there being no data that reveals that. 2. Extended -sx volts to also show voltage from lm-sensors if present. Many systems show no voltage data with lm-sensors, but now if any is found, it will show, same as impi. 3. Moved to lsblk as primary source for partition/unmounted filesystem, uuid, and label data. Falls back to previous methods if lsblk does not return data. Some lsblk do not show complete data unless super user as well. 4. Refactored code to be more logical and clear. 5. Added for OpenBSD -r: /etc/installurl file. BUG FIXES: 1. CRITICAL: /sys/block/xxx/device/model is in some cases truncating the disk model name to 16 characters. This is not an inxi bug, it's a bug with /sys itself. To fix this, inxi now uses for GNU/Linux /dev/disk/by-id data which does not ever do this truncation. It's also faster I believe to read that directory once, filter the results, then use the data for vendor/model/serial. this was also part of the disk vendor data feature. 2. Openbsd networking fix. Was not showing IF data, now it does. 3. Fixed bug with unmounted where sometimes md0 type partitions would show even though they are in a raid array. 4. Fixed disk rev, now it searches for 3 different files in /sys to get that data. 5. Fixed bug with very old systems, with sudo 1.6 or older, for some reason that error did not get redirected to /dev/null, so now only using sudo -n after explicit version test, only if 1.7 or newer. 6. Fixed a few null results in fringe cases for graphics. Resolution now shows NA for Hz if no hz data found. This was only present on a fringe user case which is unlikely to ever impact normal X installations. 7. Fixed BSD L2 cache, was showing MiB instead of KiB, wrong math.

New version, new man. Changes, bug fixes, enhancements! Don't delay! Bugs: 1. A real bug, the detection for true path of /dev/root had a mistake in it and would only have worked in half the cases. This was an easy fix, but a significant but since it also would lead to the actual root / partition showing in Unmounted. 2. Related to the item Fixes-2, if two USB networking devices were attached, the second one's bus and chip ID would go on the wrong line of data if -n or -i option were used. Since that would be the line belonging to the one above, that obviously was weird and wrong. 3. NEW: latest kernel can show hwmon data in sensors, for example from wifi chip. This broke CPU temp detection and showed way too high cpu temp, so this fix is fairly important since new kernels may have this new sensors hwmon syntax. 4. Sensors: IPMI alternate syntax found, also case with no data in expected columns, just N/A, so now the ipmi sensor logic skips all lines with non numeric values in the values column. This is what it should have done all along, it was trusting that values would always exist for the field names it looks for. Fixes: 1. ARM networking fix. ARM devices like rasberry pi that use usb bus for networking showed the no data message even though usb networking was right below it. This is corrected, and now that only shows if both main and usb networking failed for ARM. 2. Big repo fix: while testing distro and Trinity live cds, I discovered that apt is sometimes used with rpms, which made PCLinuxOS and ALT-Linux Repos item show the apt files but no data since the pattern was looking for start with deb. Added rpm to pattern, so all distros that use apt running rpms should now 'just work'. 3. Fixed more distro id things, PCLinuxOS should now show its full distro string. 4. Debugger: Filtered out more blocks of /proc, that data is bloated and messy, found another case where it collected a vast amount of junk system data from zfs in that case, just blocked the entire range. I had no idea /proc had so much junk data in it! 5. As noted above, IPMI, yet another alternate syntax for field names. My hope that IPMI software and sensors will be more logical and consistent than lm-sensors output is proving to be merely wishful thinking, I think now out of 3 datasets I've gotten, I've seen 3 variants for syntax, not to mention the ipmi-tool vs ipmi-sensors differences. So IPMI will be like all sensors stuff, a work in progress, to be updated with every newly discovered alternate syntax and data set. Enhancements: 1. Disk vendors, added some, improved pattern detections for others. This feature is getting better all the time. Thanks linuxlite hw db, easy to scan for missing vendors in their inxi data. 2. Added more wm, budgie-wm, mwm, variants of kwin and Trinity's Twin, several others, more refactoring of core wm/desktop code. 3. Added gpu ram and reworked memory logic for rasberry pi, which is the only SBC I am aware of that uses that tool. Now reports the actual total, and also gpu: for ram data, so you can tell that the gpu is using part of the total. Again, this comes from issue #153. Also added that info to man page for -I part. 4. Added more ARM and PCI cleaners for neater and more concise ARM/PCI output. 5. Added Trinity support to Desktop section, this had at least two different detection methods, but since the first just shows KDE original data, only the second one proved to be Trinity specific. Happily, the full data is available, toolkit, desktop version, and wm (Twin). 6. New -G,-A,-R -xxx feature: vendor:. Note that vendor data is very bloated and messy so it's trimmed down substantially, using a series of filters and rules, and thus it can contain the following: the actual vendor, like Dell, nothing, the motherboard vendor/product for board based PCI items, or a complete vendor/product string if it's unique. I couldn't think of a clean field name that meant: vendor OR vendor + basic product info OR motherboard + board version OR full product name, including vendor, so in the end, I just used vendor: but it's not quite the right term, but nothing else seemed to work better. Testers responded very enthusiastically about this feature so I guess the vendor: name is ok. Changes: 1. Biggest change: Drives: HDD: total: the HDD: is now changed to: Local Storage: This was part of issue #153 and is a good suggestion because HDD generally was used to refer to hard disks, spinning, but with nvme, m.2, ssd, etc, that term is a bit dated. 'Local' is because inxi does not include detected remote storage in the totals. 2. The recent --wm option which forced ps as data source for window manager detection has been reversed, now --wm forces wmctrl and ps aux is preferred. Still falls back to wm ctrl in case the ps test is null, this is better because I have to add the wm data manually for each one, whereas wmctrl has an unknown set and probably variable set of wm. Note that I reversed this because I saw several cases where wmctrl was wrong, and reported a generic source wm instead of the real one. Since most uses are not going to even be aware of the wm: feature as enhanced with --wm switch, this should have no impact on users in general. Since the detected wm name needs to be know to get assigned to wm: and wm version data, I think it will work better to have the known variants match with the wm data values, then just fallback to unknown ones that can get fille in over time as we find wm that people actually use and that you can get version info on and detect. Removed: 1. Got rid of tests for GTK compiled with version for many desktops, that test was always wrong because it did not have any necessary relation to the actual gtk version the desktop was built out of, and it also almost always returned no data. Since this is an expensive and slow test, and is always going to be wrong or empty anyway, I've removed it. My tests showed it taking about 300ms or so to generate no data, heh. That's the tk: feature in -S. Note I also found that gnome-shell takes an absurdly long time to give --version info, the slowest of all such things, 300ms again, just to show version? Someone should fix that, there's no possible reason why it should take 300 milliseconds to give a simple version string. Note that this returns tk: to only returning real data, which in this case means only xfce, kde, and trinity, which are the only desktops that actually report their toolkit data. I'll probably remove that code in the future unless I can think of some real use for gtk version elsewhere, but it's just junk data which doesn't even work. In the future, I will not try to emulate or guess at desktop toolkits, either they show the data in a direct form like XFCE or Trinity or KDE do, or I won't waste resources and execution time making bad guesses using inefficient code and logic. QT desktops like LXQt I'm leaving in because I believe those will tend to track more closely the QT version on the system, and the tests for QT version aren't huge ugly hacks the way they are for GTK, so they aren't as slow or intrusive, but those may also get removed since they almost never work either. But they are also slowing down the -Sx process so maybe they should be removed as well, I'll think about it. Since they only are used on LXQt and razer-qt, it probably isn't a big deal overall.

New version, man page. Bug fixes, enhancements. Bugs: 1. A long standing bug was finally identified and fixed. -n/-i would fail to match a Device to the right IF in cases where they had the same chip / vendor IDs. Added busID for non Soc type devices to fix that. I hope. This fix has been tested on a machine that had this bug, and it is now corrected. Thanks skynet for the dataset. 2. deepin-wm was failing to get listed correctly with new fixes, this is corrected. Fixes: 1. mate version was depending on two tools, mate-about and mate-session, which somewhat randomly vary in which has the actual highest version number. Fix was to run both in MATE for version, and run those through a new version compare tool. Thanks mint/gm10 for reporting that bug. 2. -Gxx compositors: added some missing ones that were being checked for in- correctly. 3. For distro id, fixed a glitch in the parser for files, now correctly removes empty () with or without spaces in it. 4. Got rid of ' SOC?' part of no data for ram or slots, that also triggers in non SOC cases, so best to not guess if I can't get it right. Enhancements: 1. More disk vendor ID matches, also, somehow missed QEMU as vendor, thanks to linux hardware database (linuxlite) for great samples of vendor/product strings. 2. Added a bunch of compositors, found a new source that listed a lot inxi did not have already. 3. Added version v: for some compositors in -Gxxx. 4. New program_data() tool provides an easier to use simple program version/print name generator, including extra level tests, to get rid of some code that repeats. 5. Found some useful QEMU virtual machines for ARM, MIPS, PPC, and SPARC, so made initial debugging for each type, so basic working error free support is well on its way for all 4 architectures, which was unexpected. More fine tunings to all of them to avoid bugs, and to catch more devices, as well. Note that QEMU images are hard to make, and they were not complete in terms of what you would see on physical hardware, so I don't know what features will work or not work, there may be further variants in audio/network/graphics IDs that remain unhandled, new datasets always welcome for such platforms! 6. Found yet another desktop! Added Manokwari support, which is at this point a reworking of gnome, but it was identifiable, minus a version number. 7. Added deepin and blankon to system base supported list, these hide their debian roots, so I had to use the manual method to provide system base.

\- Adds (if available) \fBcompositor:\fR version \fBv:\fR.
New version, new man. Changes, bug fixes, enhancements! Don't delay! Bugs: 1. A real bug, the detection for true path of /dev/root had a mistake in it and would only have worked in half the cases. This was an easy fix, but a significant but since it also would lead to the actual root / partition showing in Unmounted. 2. Related to the item Fixes-2, if two USB networking devices were attached, the second one's bus and chip ID would go on the wrong line of data if -n or -i option were used. Since that would be the line belonging to the one above, that obviously was weird and wrong. 3. NEW: latest kernel can show hwmon data in sensors, for example from wifi chip. This broke CPU temp detection and showed way too high cpu temp, so this fix is fairly important since new kernels may have this new sensors hwmon syntax. 4. Sensors: IPMI alternate syntax found, also case with no data in expected columns, just N/A, so now the ipmi sensor logic skips all lines with non numeric values in the values column. This is what it should have done all along, it was trusting that values would always exist for the field names it looks for. Fixes: 1. ARM networking fix. ARM devices like rasberry pi that use usb bus for networking showed the no data message even though usb networking was right below it. This is corrected, and now that only shows if both main and usb networking failed for ARM. 2. Big repo fix: while testing distro and Trinity live cds, I discovered that apt is sometimes used with rpms, which made PCLinuxOS and ALT-Linux Repos item show the apt files but no data since the pattern was looking for start with deb. Added rpm to pattern, so all distros that use apt running rpms should now 'just work'. 3. Fixed more distro id things, PCLinuxOS should now show its full distro string. 4. Debugger: Filtered out more blocks of /proc, that data is bloated and messy, found another case where it collected a vast amount of junk system data from zfs in that case, just blocked the entire range. I had no idea /proc had so much junk data in it! 5. As noted above, IPMI, yet another alternate syntax for field names. My hope that IPMI software and sensors will be more logical and consistent than lm-sensors output is proving to be merely wishful thinking, I think now out of 3 datasets I've gotten, I've seen 3 variants for syntax, not to mention the ipmi-tool vs ipmi-sensors differences. So IPMI will be like all sensors stuff, a work in progress, to be updated with every newly discovered alternate syntax and data set. Enhancements: 1. Disk vendors, added some, improved pattern detections for others. This feature is getting better all the time. Thanks linuxlite hw db, easy to scan for missing vendors in their inxi data. 2. Added more wm, budgie-wm, mwm, variants of kwin and Trinity's Twin, several others, more refactoring of core wm/desktop code. 3. Added gpu ram and reworked memory logic for rasberry pi, which is the only SBC I am aware of that uses that tool. Now reports the actual total, and also gpu: for ram data, so you can tell that the gpu is using part of the total. Again, this comes from issue #153. Also added that info to man page for -I part. 4. Added more ARM and PCI cleaners for neater and more concise ARM/PCI output. 5. Added Trinity support to Desktop section, this had at least two different detection methods, but since the first just shows KDE original data, only the second one proved to be Trinity specific. Happily, the full data is available, toolkit, desktop version, and wm (Twin). 6. New -G,-A,-R -xxx feature: vendor:.

\- For \fBShell:\fR adds \fB(su|sudo|login)\fR to shell name if present.
New version, new man. Big bug fix, new features. Bugs: 1. Finally tracked down and solved the Xorg drivers bug which was caused by Xorg checking its list of defaults 2 times, not 1, which resulted in failed status on second try since it was already loaded. Secondary bug was found that resulted in failing to show the failed, and only showing unloaded, which was also wrong. This finally fixes issue #134 item 5. Thanks Mint users for the help on that one. 2. Small bug in Openbox version detection, typo. 3. fixed a small glitch in the dm: detection that on systems where /var/run exists but is not linked to /run, the dm would fail to get detected. Fixes: 1. Xfce when defaulting to no version found goes to 4, this is a bad idea, it's better to not show any version, since xfcie could one day be 5. 2. Fixed Blackbox fallback detection, there were cases where Blackpox not found in xprop -root, now it falls back to ps aux detection. 3. For wm: tested all known variants, added support for things like Mutter (Marco) syntax. Note that bunsenlab uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE to work around some glitches, but it's actually Openbox. If run as root, it will show openbox correctly, otherwise -Sxxx will show wm: openbox, but that's due to bunsenlabs choices there. 4. Rewrote a lot of DistroData to handle more dynamic testing of values, it's sad that at almost 2020 we are still stumbling around trying to find a consistent way to identify distros, and derived distros. 5. Added more debugger data collectors in the logging, some data was not being tracked well during log process which made debugging harder. Enhancements: 1. New feature, -Gxx now shows for Xorg drivers alternate: which are drivers that Xorg auto checks but which are not installed. Those were ignored in the past. This can be useful to see for example that there are other driver install options available. Thanks gm10 for that suggestion. 2. Tested and added the following explicit handlers for Distros: and base: in some cases: grml, peppermint, kali, siduction, aptosid, arco, manjaro, chakra, antergos, bunsenlabs, and a few others. These are a pain to add and test, basically I have to boot a live cd of each one, then test the files and ID methods, but the ID methods must also be as dynamic as possible because you never know when a distro is going to change how they use os-release vs issue vs lsb-release vs <name>-release. I would have tested a few more but their livecds failed to properly run on vbox. 3. Added a few more disk vendor IDs. 4. Added some more programs to debugger data collector for future feature vdpau, but that needs more data because we don't really know the variants for example for dual card systems. 5. Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item.
2018-07-03 21:36:15 +00:00
New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

New version, many small fixes. And a hall of shame, LOL. Bugs: 1. Issue #188 exposed a situation in glxinfo where the required opengl fields are present but contain null data. This happens when a system does not have the required opengl drivers, which was the case here. inxi failed to handle that. Thanks LinuxMonger for posting the required data to figure this corner case out. 2. Fixed a long time bug in Disk vendor ID, there was an eq (string equals) where it was supposed to use regex pattern match. Oops. Would have led to disk vendor id failures in several cases. Fixes: 1. help, man updates for RAM/Memory data, more clarifications. 2. Refactored RepoData class/package, to make it easier to handle repo string data, and make it all overall cleaner internally, and enable future extensions to certain features in inxi that may or may not one day become active. 3. Added to some regex compares \Q$VAR\E to disable regex characters in strings. I should have used that a long time ago, oh well, better late than never! 4. Found a horrible case were xdpyinfo uses 'preferred' instead of the actual pixel dimensions, shame on whoever allowed that output!!! shame! Had to add a workaround to make sure numeric values are present, if not, then use the fallback, which means, 2x more data parsing to get data that should not require that, but in this example, it did (an Arch derivative, but it could be xdpyinfo itself, don't know)> Enhancements: 1. More fixes on issue #185. Thanks tubecleaner for finding and provding required data to really solve a set of RAM issues that apply particularly in production systems. This issue report led to 2 new options: --memory-short, which only shows a basic RAM report. Memory: RAM: total: 31.43 GiB used: 14.98 GiB (47.7%) Report: arrays: 1 slots: 4 modules: 2 type: DDR4 And a 2nd, --memory-modules, only shows the occupied slots. This can be useful in situations where it's a server or vm with a lot of slots, most empty: Memory: RAM: total: 31.43 GiB used: 15.44 GiB (49.1%) Array-1: capacity: 256 GiB slots: 4 EC: None Device-1: DIMM 1 size: 16 GiB speed: 2400 MT/s Device-2: DIMM 1 size: 16 GiB speed: 2400 MT/s Note that both of these options trigger -m, so -m itself is not required. 2. More disk vendors!! The list never ends! Thanks linux-lite hardware database and users for supplying, and buying/obtaining, apparently every disk known to mankind. 3. Added fallback XFCE detection, in cases were the system does not have xprop installed, it's still possible to do a full detection of xfce, including toolkit, so now inxi does that, one less dependency to detect one more desktop. 4. Added vmwgfx driver to xorg drivers list. Note, I've never actually seen this in the wild, but I did see it as the kernel reported driver from lspci, so it may exist. Unfixed: 1. Issue #187 EnochTheWise (?) did not supply the required debugger data so there is a RAID ZFS issue that will not get fixed until the required debugger data is supplied. Please do not waste all our time filing an issue if you have no intention of actually following through so we can get it fixed. Note that a key way we get issues here is from Perl errors on the screen, which are a frequent cause of someone realizing something is wrong. This is why I'm not going to do a hack fix for the RAID ZFS issue, then the error messages will go away, and it will likely never get handled. For examples of good, useful, productive issue reports, and how to do them right: #188 and #185, both of which led to good improvements in how inxi handles corner cases in those areas.

.B \-xxx \-m\fR, \fB\-\-memory\-modules\fR
New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

\- Adds device Type Detail, e.g. \fBdetail: DDR3 (Synchronous)\fR.
New version, new man. Big bug fix, new features. Bugs: 1. Finally tracked down and solved the Xorg drivers bug which was caused by Xorg checking its list of defaults 2 times, not 1, which resulted in failed status on second try since it was already loaded. Secondary bug was found that resulted in failing to show the failed, and only showing unloaded, which was also wrong. This finally fixes issue #134 item 5. Thanks Mint users for the help on that one. 2. Small bug in Openbox version detection, typo. 3. fixed a small glitch in the dm: detection that on systems where /var/run exists but is not linked to /run, the dm would fail to get detected. Fixes: 1. Xfce when defaulting to no version found goes to 4, this is a bad idea, it's better to not show any version, since xfcie could one day be 5. 2. Fixed Blackbox fallback detection, there were cases where Blackpox not found in xprop -root, now it falls back to ps aux detection. 3. For wm: tested all known variants, added support for things like Mutter (Marco) syntax. Note that bunsenlab uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE to work around some glitches, but it's actually Openbox. If run as root, it will show openbox correctly, otherwise -Sxxx will show wm: openbox, but that's due to bunsenlabs choices there. 4. Rewrote a lot of DistroData to handle more dynamic testing of values, it's sad that at almost 2020 we are still stumbling around trying to find a consistent way to identify distros, and derived distros. 5. Added more debugger data collectors in the logging, some data was not being tracked well during log process which made debugging harder. Enhancements: 1. New feature, -Gxx now shows for Xorg drivers alternate: which are drivers that Xorg auto checks but which are not installed. Those were ignored in the past. This can be useful to see for example that there are other driver install options available. Thanks gm10 for that suggestion. 2. Tested and added the following explicit handlers for Distros: and base: in some cases: grml, peppermint, kali, siduction, aptosid, arco, manjaro, chakra, antergos, bunsenlabs, and a few others. These are a pain to add and test, basically I have to boot a live cd of each one, then test the files and ID methods, but the ID methods must also be as dynamic as possible because you never know when a distro is going to change how they use os-release vs issue vs lsb-release vs <name>-release. I would have tested a few more but their livecds failed to properly run on vbox. 3. Added a few more disk vendor IDs. 4. Added some more programs to debugger data collector for future feature vdpau, but that needs more data because we don't really know the variants for example for dual card systems. 5. Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item.

New version, new man. Several bug fixes, enhancements, options. Bugs: 1. In some cases, -S Desktop showed xfce when it wasn't xfce. This should be largely corrected now. 2. Big bug: using lxqt-about for lxqt --version, now opens a dialog box, gui, so removed that, and now checking lxqt-session for version info instead. Fixes: 1. Now calling hitachi hgst drives vendor: HGST (Hitachi) to differentiate between regular Hitachi and HGST hitachi. Added a few more disk vendors. 2. Distro base and core: added linuxlite, elementary. Some distros use: /etc/upstream-release/lsb-release so testing for that and os-release now too. 3. Extended qt detections, may catch a few stray ones now in non kde qt desktops. 4. Complete refactor of desktop, desktop info, wm, and -G compositor, now much easier to extend each feature and add detections, move order around, etc. Also moved wm to -Sxx now that I use fallback ps aux tests, which were themselves also totally refactored and optimized. Fixed WindowMaker id, which is made more annoying because they are the only upper/lower case program name, but in at least debian, the actual program name is wmaker internally. Also tightened in particular gnome-shell, which was failing to show due to too restrictive filtering of desktop/vm repeats. Most wm do not contain the desktop name in the string, gnome-shell does, only one I'm aware of. 5. Removed N/A from wmctrl output, which just means null, which is what we want. 6. Removed gnome-shell from info: since it will now appear in wm: if found. Added a few -panel items to info: Enhancements: 1. Showing type: network bridge for -N when it's type 0680, which is an odd pci type, generally it's a network bridge, but I figured it's best to show that explicitly to avoid confusion. This extends the 'type:' from just USB. 2. Added more window managers to wm, matchbox, flwm, fvwm2 (used to just use fvwm, this was wrong, it's its own thing), a few others. 3. Added a few more compositors to -Gxx. kwin_x11 should be the most noticeable, but added some more obscure ones too. This feature requires more work. 4. Extended ARM syntax to support a new one, path to /sys/device... has an extra /soc/ in it, that is now handled, all are tested for. Confirmed working. Note that ARM has to be confirmed fixed on a device by device basis, since there are key syntax differences in the paths, but it will get easier the more variants that are discovered. Added another trimmer to cut off \x00|01|02|03 special non printing characters which show as weird jibbberish in output, for model/serial number. 5. Refactored wm, info, desktop, compositor, now all use @ps_gui, which is all that is tested against, not the entire ps_cmd array. This drops the possible tests down massively since the only things in ps_gui will be the actual stuff found that matches all the patterns required for that system, not all ps items. Added marco, muffin fixes. Was showing wm: Metacity (Marco) that is not correct, now shows marco, which then allows to get version too. 5. -Sxxx now shows wm: version as well, which can be of use now and then. 6. --wm added to trip force using of ps data for wm, this can be useful because I don't know all variants of wmctrl output, so that makes it easier to test. 7. Added finally support for --debug 3, which now shows timers, functions, and args printed to screen. 8. Added qmake --version to fallback qt detection.

\- Adds, if present, memory module voltage. Only some systems will have this
New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

\- Adds device serial number.
New version, new man. Big update, corrects many small typos, adds some good new features. So now inxi and pinxi will grab the inxi.1 or pinxi.1 man file and install it on systems that do not have -U blocked. The -U block of course remains the same. New features: 1. now does not require root or 'file' to get unmounted fs type. Also, for many mounted partitions, rather than showing the meaningless fuseblock it will usually get the filesystem right. 2. -U now works with optional --man option to download man page for pinxi and -U 3 dev server updates. This gets around the fact I had to remove the gz files from master to get the size small enough to make maintainers happy. Non branch inxi master works as before, updates both from github or from dev server, depending on your selection. 3. Thanks very much to the people who have been contributing in a positve way, helping to make inxi better. The untold number of small and large new features, small glitches, etc, that have been fixed this week are simply too many too list. Many to most were inxi bugs or weaknesses, now corrected. 4. binxi branch has now been made fully operational, though I do not plan on doing any work beyond the mothballing of that venerable program (gawk->bash inxi), it's fully operational, it updates, it gets its man page, but all as binxi, so you can, as with pinxi, run all of them separately. This officially terminates my support for Gawk/Bash inxi, which can be found as binxi in the inxi-legacy branch. 5. pinxi has been promoted to permanent development branch, where bug fixes, new features, etc, will be tested, along with man page updates etc. This will help reduce the number of commits to master branch. 6. Audio / Network usb cards now show the true driver(s). There are often more than one for audio, that's a nice enancement. 7. inxi outputs to json / xml, which will probably interest some developers eventually, well it already did, that was going to wait, but someone wanted it. 8. Apt repo handler now supports DEB822 format, which is not an easy format to parse. ========================================================== MAINTAINERS: Note the following: despite my strong dislike for tags, every commit that touches either inxi or inxi.1 man page will be tagged if I think they would be something relevant to distro packagers. While github insists on calling my tags releases, I want to be crystal clear: inxi has one and only one 'release', the current master branch version. The tagged commits that github calls releases are NOT releases, they are just tagged commits. The version I release tomorrow will be the current master, and all previous versions will be obsolete and will not be supported. The .gz files have been removed from the master branch history, thus shrinking it a lot. I have removed for this reason the master-plain branch, which mirrored master and provided a gz free branch, but apparently this was simply ignored so there's no reason to keep it going. If you insist on grabbing all the branches and find more data in there, then please correct your practices, you are only getting the data from the master branch. inxi is rolling release software and has no releases, so the tags are supposed to create some illusion that a tag actually means something. Since it doesn't, I decided to take the path of least resistance and just add an auto tagging tool to my commit scripts and use it when it seems appropriate, like on this commit. All development work now will happen via the pinxi branch, so that makes the process a lot cleaner, since I can now basically beta test all new commmits to master. pinxi and binxi are both standalone versions of inxi, they have their own config and data directories, config files, man pages, etc. ----------------------------------------------------- New Perl inxi is already way ahead of Gawk/Bash inxi, more features, more accurate, and most bugs being fixed now are because a lot of people are contributing eyes and testing, and are finding stuff that was wrong, or simply missing, on old inxi as well as on Perl inxi. Fixes to Perl inxi (>2.9) will not be rolled into to binxi since the entire reason I spent over 4 months on this project was to never have to touch Gawk/Bash inxi again. Most imporant, however, is that the simple fact was, Gawk/Bash inxi has been nearly impossible to work on despite my following rigorous practices in coding, and I simply won't work with that type of stuff anymore. Perl 5.x is a true delight in comparison, and makes adding new features, enhancing others, far easier, or even possible, where it wasn't before. On a technical level, I have tested Perl inxi heavily, and it will run on all Perl 5.x versions back to 5.008, which is the cutoff point. This was not that hard to do, which is why I picked Perl 5.x as the language. This means that you can drop, just as with binxi, Perl inxi onto a 10 year old system, or older, and it will run fine, albeit a touch slowly, but must faster than binxi. ----------------------------------------------------- So far users are really liking the new one, it's usually faster in most cases, the output is cleaner, there's more data, more options, and basically it's gotten the thumbs up from all the testers, and there have been a LOT, who have helped. I want to give a special thanks to the following distros for their exceptional support and testing: 0. the people who hang out on irc.oftc.net #smxi. Very patient, will test things with astounding patience, so thanks to them. Archerseven, iotaka and KittyKatt have been been incredibly helpful when it comes to testing and debugging, and finding corner cases that I would never have found. 1. AntiX: they were the first to beta test pinxi, and found massive numbers of bugs, and stuck with the testing for a long time. They made testing possible for the next wave of testers, my hats off to them, I've always liked them. 2. Manjaro also was very helpful, and found more issues and enhancements. 3. Ubuntu forums users found more, and helped enhance many faetures 4. Mint users have been very helpful, and were the impetus for some nifty new features, ilke switching all color codes off when output is piped or sent to file. They have reminded me of how valuable people's views can be who may not share the same tech world view as you, but are still very talented and observant individuals. 5. Slackware users provided some very thoughtful feedback, which was no surprise but welcome nonetheless, thanks. 6. Same with Debian forums, again, some very useful and constructive ideas and observations, and some very arcane and odd hardware that exposed even more corner case bugs. And several other distros were also helpful, each in their own way. Solus for example now has their package manager added in repos.

.TP
New version, man page. Big set of changes. Full USB refactor, plus added features. Bugs: 1. A result of the issue #156 USB refactor, I discovered that the --usb sort order, which was based on Bus+DeviceID, in fact is wrong, pure and simple. This was exposed by using a second USB hub on a bus, the Device IDs are not really related in any clearly logical way to the actual position on the bus. The solution was to fully refactor the entire USB logic and then use generated alpha sorters based on the full bus-port[.port] ID. Device ID is now printed last in the ID string, like so: 1-4:1. Note that Device IDs start at 1 for each bus, regardless of how many hubs you have attached to that port. 2. Certain situations triggered a bug in Optical devices, I'd forgotten to change $_ to $key in two places. Since that part didn't normally get triggered, I'd never noticed that bug before. Thanks TinyCore for exposing that glitch! Fixes: 1. On legacy systems, fluxbox --version does not work, -v does. Corrected. 2. for --usb, network devices should now show the correct 'type: Network'. For some weird reason, the people who made the usb types didn't seem to consider many key devices, scanners, wifi/ethernet adapters, and those are almost always "Vendor defined class". 3. A really big fix, for instances where system is using only Busybox, like TinyCore, or booting into any system running busybox for whatever reason, now avoids the various errors when using busybox ps, which only for example outputs 3, not 11, default columns for ps aux, and which does not support ps -j, which is used in the start/shell client information. This gets rid of a huge spray of errors, and actually allows for pretty complete output from systems that only have busybox tools installed. This should cover everything from TinyCore to MIPS to ARM systems that run minimalist Linux. Note that this fix goes along with the /sys based USB parser, since such systems may have USB, but are unlikely to have lsusb installed, but do have /sys USB data. 4. In some cases, strings /sbin/init would trigger a false version result, fixed that logic so now it rarely will do that. Enhancements: 1. Added Mosksha desktop, that's a Bodhi fork of Enlightenment E17; added qtile window manager (no version info). 2. Added Bodhi detection; Salix + base slackware; kde neon system base; 3. Added support for slaptget repos, basic, it may not be perfecct. 4. More disk vendors, and matches for existing vendors. 5. Full rewrite of USB data, in --usb, -A, and -N, along with core usb data engines. This makes lsusb optional, though recommended (because it has a better vendor/ product ID to string internal database) than /sys data. This was in response to a second set of issues in #156 by gm10, USB drivers. Depending on the system, using only /sys data, while slightly less informative, is between 20 and 2000 milliseconds faster, so if you want speed, either use the new --usb-sys option, or the configuration file USB_SYS=[true|false] option. 1. switched to cleaner more efficient data structures 2. added ports count to hub report, linux and bsd. 3. added [--usb|-A|-N] -xxx serial for Device items, if present. 4. added --usb -xx drivers, per interface, can be 1 or more drivers. 5. fully refactored -A and -N usb device logic, far cleaner and simple now, much easier to work with, no more hacks to find things and match them. 6. USB type: now comes from /sys, and is in general going to be more accurate than the lsusb -v based method, which was always an ugly and incomplete hack. As with drivers, it also now lists all the interface types found per device, not just the first one as with the previous method. Note that HID means the more verbose: Human Interface Device, but I shortened it. Now that the type: data is created by inxi reading the class/subclass/protocal IDs, and then figuring out what to do itself, I can have quite a bit more flexibility in terms of how type is generated. 7. added --usb -xxx interfaces: [count] for devices, which lists the device interface count. This can be useful to determine if say, a usb/keyboard adapter is a 2 interface device. Note that Audio devices generally have many interfaces, since they do more than 1 thing (audio output, microphone input, etc.). 8. Support for user configuration file item: USB_SYS=[true|false]. This is useful if you want to see only the /sys version of the data, or if you want the significant speed boost not using lsusb offers, particularly on older systems with a complex USB setup, many buses, many devices, etc. New option --usb-tool overrides USB_SYS value, and forces lsusb use. 9. New options: --usb-sys - forces all usb items to use /sys data, and skip lsusb. Note that you still have to use the feature options, like --usb, -A, or -N. This can lead to a significant improvement in execution time for inxi. 10. Rather than the previous bus:device ID string, to go along with the internal sorting strings used, inxi now shows the real Bus / port /port ids, like: 1-3.2.1:3 - Bus-Port[.port]:device id. 6. Added support for Xvesa display server. Thanks for exposing that one, TinyCore! 7. Added tce package manager to repos. That's the tinycore package manager. Changes: 1. big one, after 10 plus years, the venerable 'Card-x:' for -A,-N, and -G has been replaced by the more neutral 'Device-x:'. This was a suggestion by gm10 from Mint in issue #156 This makes sense because for a long time, most of these devices are not cards, they are SOC, motherboard builtin, USB devices, etc, so the one thing they all are are some form of a device, and the one thing that they are all not is a Card. Along with the recent change from HDD: to Local Storage in Disks: this brings inxi terminology out of the ancient times and into the present. Thanks for the nudge gm10. Removed: See inxi-perl/docs/inxi-fragments.txt for removed blocks. 1. Entire parser for lsusb -v, now it all runs either usbdevs or lsusb, and if Linux and not lsusb, it will use /sys exclusively, otherwise it uses /sys data to complete the lsusb vendor/product strings. 2. Two functions that were used by -A and -N to match usb devices and get their /sys data, that became redundant since it all now goes through the /sys parser already, so those features can get the data pre-parsed from the @usb arrays.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

\- zfs\-raid: Adds portion allocated (used) by RAID array/device.
New version, man page. New features and fixes! Bugs: 1. -I line, sometimes running in showed sudo. This is hopefully now corrected. Fixes: 1. CPU architectures, small reordering based on hopefully more reliable data source, but these are hard to find conclusively. 2. -S Distro id: switched ordering of prefered os-release sources, PRETTY_NAME is not being used consistently, too many distros leave out the distro id found in VERSION, so now it uses NAME + VERSION if both are there, then PRETTY_NAME as a fallback. That reverses how it was, but it will provide better results for most distros. Distros that did this properly to begin with should see no change. 3. Now that inxi is basically debugged and working, I've removed the output of 'inxi' from the -t lines. It remains for the pinxi branch however so you can see how many resources pinxi uses to run. 4. ipmi sensors data are proving to be as random as lm-sensors. Added another alternate syntax for sensors. 5. CPU: found an alternate syntax, again, for IPMI and sensors data, added support, I hope, for that. Enhancements: 1. Added /proc debugger tool to debugger. Due to oddities with how the /proc file system is created, it will only run as user, not root, unless the --proc flag is used. More programs added to debugger commands. 2. More disk vendor strings added, fine tuning of vendor detections. There is a tendency in NVMe disk names to put the vendor name in the middle of the string. That is now handled for a few key vendors. 3. Added basic ARM SOC and server support. This will require more work in the future because the syntax used varies significantly device to device, but the featuers are now in place to add that support. Most SBC ARM devices should now at least show the model and details data in machine data, and some will show -G -A -N data as well. 4. ARM CPU: added first attempt to show the cpu variant as well as the more generic ARM data. This shows 1 or more variants, some ARM devices have two different cpu cores running at different speeds. Odroid for example. 5. Added system 'base:' data for -Sx, that modifies Distro: in supported cases. Currently only Mint and MX/AntiX supported because each specific distro must be handled explicitly using empirical file based data tests. I decided against showing this for rolling release, since really everyone knows that Antergos is made from Arch Linux, so showing that does not provide much useful information, whereas showing the Ubuntu version Mint was made from does. Note that several derived distros are changing how they use os-release, so the tools had to be revised to be more dynamic, which is a pain, and makes it even more empirical and less predictable to print what should be trivially easy to gather distro and derived source data. If your distro is not in this list and you want the base data to be present, please supply a --debug 22 dataset so I can check all the files required to make the detection work. If your distro has changed methods, please note which methods were used in the past, and which are used now. 6. Added Armbian distro detection, that's tricky. Added Rasbpian detections. Added improved Antergos, Arco, and maybe Chakra, Arch detections. 7. Big one: Hardware RAID basic support added. Note that each vendor, and unfortunatley, often each product line, has its own raid status and drive reporting tools, which makes adding the actual drive/raid/status report part very time consuming to add. I may only support this if a certain software maker's raid tools are installed because they are much simpler to parse, but for now, it only shows the presence of the raid device itself, not disks, raid status, etc.
2018-06-23 18:32:18 +00:00
New version, new man. Changes, bug fixes, enhancements! Don't delay! Bugs: 1. A real bug, the detection for true path of /dev/root had a mistake in it and would only have worked in half the cases. This was an easy fix, but a significant but since it also would lead to the actual root / partition showing in Unmounted. 2. Related to the item Fixes-2, if two USB networking devices were attached, the second one's bus and chip ID would go on the wrong line of data if -n or -i option were used. Since that would be the line belonging to the one above, that obviously was weird and wrong. 3. NEW: latest kernel can show hwmon data in sensors, for example from wifi chip. This broke CPU temp detection and showed way too high cpu temp, so this fix is fairly important since new kernels may have this new sensors hwmon syntax. 4. Sensors: IPMI alternate syntax found, also case with no data in expected columns, just N/A, so now the ipmi sensor logic skips all lines with non numeric values in the values column. This is what it should have done all along, it was trusting that values would always exist for the field names it looks for. Fixes: 1. ARM networking fix. ARM devices like rasberry pi that use usb bus for networking showed the no data message even though usb networking was right below it. This is corrected, and now that only shows if both main and usb networking failed for ARM. 2. Big repo fix: while testing distro and Trinity live cds, I discovered that apt is sometimes used with rpms, which made PCLinuxOS and ALT-Linux Repos item show the apt files but no data since the pattern was looking for start with deb. Added rpm to pattern, so all distros that use apt running rpms should now 'just work'. 3. Fixed more distro id things, PCLinuxOS should now show its full distro string. 4. Debugger: Filtered out more blocks of /proc, that data is bloated and messy, found another case where it collected a vast amount of junk system data from zfs in that case, just blocked the entire range. I had no idea /proc had so much junk data in it! 5. As noted above, IPMI, yet another alternate syntax for field names. My hope that IPMI software and sensors will be more logical and consistent than lm-sensors output is proving to be merely wishful thinking, I think now out of 3 datasets I've gotten, I've seen 3 variants for syntax, not to mention the ipmi-tool vs ipmi-sensors differences. So IPMI will be like all sensors stuff, a work in progress, to be updated with every newly discovered alternate syntax and data set. Enhancements: 1. Disk vendors, added some, improved pattern detections for others. This feature is getting better all the time. Thanks linuxlite hw db, easy to scan for missing vendors in their inxi data. 2. Added more wm, budgie-wm, mwm, variants of kwin and Trinity's Twin, several others, more refactoring of core wm/desktop code. 3. Added gpu ram and reworked memory logic for rasberry pi, which is the only SBC I am aware of that uses that tool. Now reports the actual total, and also gpu: for ram data, so you can tell that the gpu is using part of the total. Again, this comes from issue #153. Also added that info to man page for -I part. 4. Added more ARM and PCI cleaners for neater and more concise ARM/PCI output. 5. Added Trinity support to Desktop section, this had at least two different detection methods, but since the first just shows KDE original data, only the second one proved to be Trinity specific. Happily, the full data is available, toolkit, desktop version, and wm (Twin). 6. New -G,-A,-R -xxx feature: vendor:. Note that vendor data is very bloated and messy so it's trimmed down substantially, using a series of filters and rules, and thus it can contain the following: the actual vendor, like Dell, nothing, the motherboard vendor/product for board based PCI items, or a complete vendor/product string if it's unique. I couldn't think of a clean field name that meant: vendor OR vendor + basic product info OR motherboard + board version OR full product name, including vendor, so in the end, I just used vendor: but it's not quite the right term, but nothing else seemed to work better. Testers responded very enthusiastically about this feature so I guess the vendor: name is ok. Changes: 1. Biggest change: Drives: HDD: total: the HDD: is now changed to: Local Storage: This was part of issue #153 and is a good suggestion because HDD generally was used to refer to hard disks, spinning, but with nvme, m.2, ssd, etc, that term is a bit dated. 'Local' is because inxi does not include detected remote storage in the totals. 2. The recent --wm option which forced ps as data source for window manager detection has been reversed, now --wm forces wmctrl and ps aux is preferred. Still falls back to wm ctrl in case the ps test is null, this is better because I have to add the wm data manually for each one, whereas wmctrl has an unknown set and probably variable set of wm. Note that I reversed this because I saw several cases where wmctrl was wrong, and reported a generic source wm instead of the real one. Since most uses are not going to even be aware of the wm: feature as enhanced with --wm switch, this should have no impact on users in general. Since the detected wm name needs to be know to get assigned to wm: and wm version data, I think it will work better to have the known variants match with the wm data values, then just fallback to unknown ones that can get fille in over time as we find wm that people actually use and that you can get version info on and detect. Removed: 1. Got rid of tests for GTK compiled with version for many desktops, that test was always wrong because it did not have any necessary relation to the actual gtk version the desktop was built out of, and it also almost always returned no data. Since this is an expensive and slow test, and is always going to be wrong or empty anyway, I've removed it. My tests showed it taking about 300ms or so to generate no data, heh. That's the tk: feature in -S. Note I also found that gnome-shell takes an absurdly long time to give --version info, the slowest of all such things, 300ms again, just to show version? Someone should fix that, there's no possible reason why it should take 300 milliseconds to give a simple version string. Note that this returns tk: to only returning real data, which in this case means only xfce, kde, and trinity, which are the only desktops that actually report their toolkit data. I'll probably remove that code in the future unless I can think of some real use for gtk version elsewhere, but it's just junk data which doesn't even work. In the future, I will not try to emulate or guess at desktop toolkits, either they show the data in a direct form like XFCE or Trinity or KDE do, or I won't waste resources and execution time making bad guesses using inefficient code and logic. QT desktops like LXQt I'm leaving in because I believe those will tend to track more closely the QT version on the system, and the tests for QT version aren't huge ugly hacks the way they are for GTK, so they aren't as slow or intrusive, but those may also get removed since they almost never work either. But they are also slowing down the -Sx process so maybe they should be removed as well, I'll think about it. Since they only are used on LXQt and razer-qt, it probably isn't a big deal overall.

New version, man page. Bug fixes, enhancements. Bugs: 1. A long standing bug was finally identified and fixed. -n/-i would fail to match a Device to the right IF in cases where they had the same chip / vendor IDs. Added busID for non Soc type devices to fix that. I hope. This fix has been tested on a machine that had this bug, and it is now corrected. Thanks skynet for the dataset. 2. deepin-wm was failing to get listed correctly with new fixes, this is corrected. Fixes: 1. mate version was depending on two tools, mate-about and mate-session, which somewhat randomly vary in which has the actual highest version number. Fix was to run both in MATE for version, and run those through a new version compare tool. Thanks mint/gm10 for reporting that bug. 2. -Gxx compositors: added some missing ones that were being checked for in- correctly. 3. For distro id, fixed a glitch in the parser for files, now correctly removes empty () with or without spaces in it. 4. Got rid of ' SOC?' part of no data for ram or slots, that also triggers in non SOC cases, so best to not guess if I can't get it right. Enhancements: 1. More disk vendor ID matches, also, somehow missed QEMU as vendor, thanks to linux hardware database (linuxlite) for great samples of vendor/product strings. 2. Added a bunch of compositors, found a new source that listed a lot inxi did not have already. 3. Added version v: for some compositors in -Gxxx. 4. New program_data() tool provides an easier to use simple program version/print name generator, including extra level tests, to get rid of some code that repeats. 5. Found some useful QEMU virtual machines for ARM, MIPS, PPC, and SPARC, so made initial debugging for each type, so basic working error free support is well on its way for all 4 architectures, which was unexpected. More fine tunings to all of them to avoid bugs, and to catch more devices, as well. Note that QEMU images are hard to make, and they were not complete in terms of what you would see on physical hardware, so I don't know what features will work or not work, there may be further variants in audio/network/graphics IDs that remain unhandled, new datasets always welcome for such platforms! 6. Found yet another desktop! Added Manokwari support, which is at this point a reworking of gnome, but it was identifiable, minus a version number. 7. Added deepin and blankon to system base supported list, these hide their debian roots, so I had to use the manual method to provide system base.

\- Adds, if in X, or with \fB--display\fR, bar/dock/panel/tray items
(\fBinfo\fR). If none found, shows nothing. Supports desktop items like gnome\-panel,
lxpanel, xfce4\-panel, lxqt\-panel, tint2, cairo-dock, trayer, and many others.
New version, new man. Several bug fixes, enhancements, options. Bugs: 1. In some cases, -S Desktop showed xfce when it wasn't xfce. This should be largely corrected now. 2. Big bug: using lxqt-about for lxqt --version, now opens a dialog box, gui, so removed that, and now checking lxqt-session for version info instead. Fixes: 1. Now calling hitachi hgst drives vendor: HGST (Hitachi) to differentiate between regular Hitachi and HGST hitachi. Added a few more disk vendors. 2. Distro base and core: added linuxlite, elementary. Some distros use: /etc/upstream-release/lsb-release so testing for that and os-release now too. 3. Extended qt detections, may catch a few stray ones now in non kde qt desktops. 4. Complete refactor of desktop, desktop info, wm, and -G compositor, now much easier to extend each feature and add detections, move order around, etc. Also moved wm to -Sxx now that I use fallback ps aux tests, which were themselves also totally refactored and optimized. Fixed WindowMaker id, which is made more annoying because they are the only upper/lower case program name, but in at least debian, the actual program name is wmaker internally. Also tightened in particular gnome-shell, which was failing to show due to too restrictive filtering of desktop/vm repeats. Most wm do not contain the desktop name in the string, gnome-shell does, only one I'm aware of. 5. Removed N/A from wmctrl output, which just means null, which is what we want. 6. Removed gnome-shell from info: since it will now appear in wm: if found. Added a few -panel items to info: Enhancements: 1. Showing type: network bridge for -N when it's type 0680, which is an odd pci type, generally it's a network bridge, but I figured it's best to show that explicitly to avoid confusion. This extends the 'type:' from just USB. 2. Added more window managers to wm, matchbox, flwm, fvwm2 (used to just use fvwm, this was wrong, it's its own thing), a few others. 3. Added a few more compositors to -Gxx. kwin_x11 should be the most noticeable, but added some more obscure ones too. This feature requires more work. 4. Extended ARM syntax to support a new one, path to /sys/device... has an extra /soc/ in it, that is now handled, all are tested for. Confirmed working. Note that ARM has to be confirmed fixed on a device by device basis, since there are key syntax differences in the paths, but it will get easier the more variants that are discovered. Added another trimmer to cut off \x00|01|02|03 special non printing characters which show as weird jibbberish in output, for model/serial number. 5. Refactored wm, info, desktop, compositor, now all use @ps_gui, which is all that is tested against, not the entire ps_cmd array. This drops the possible tests down massively since the only things in ps_gui will be the actual stuff found that matches all the patterns required for that system, not all ps items. Added marco, muffin fixes. Was showing wm: Metacity (Marco) that is not correct, now shows marco, which then allows to get version too. 5. -Sxxx now shows wm: version as well, which can be of use now and then. 6. --wm added to trip force using of ps data for wm, this can be useful because I don't know all variants of wmctrl output, so that makes it easier to test. 7. Added finally support for --debug 3, which now shows timers, functions, and args printed to screen. 8. Added qmake --version to fallback qt detection.

\- Adds (if present), window manager (\fBwm\fR) version number.
New version, new man. Big bug fix, new features. Bugs: 1. Finally tracked down and solved the Xorg drivers bug which was caused by Xorg checking its list of defaults 2 times, not 1, which resulted in failed status on second try since it was already loaded. Secondary bug was found that resulted in failing to show the failed, and only showing unloaded, which was also wrong. This finally fixes issue #134 item 5. Thanks Mint users for the help on that one. 2. Small bug in Openbox version detection, typo. 3. fixed a small glitch in the dm: detection that on systems where /var/run exists but is not linked to /run, the dm would fail to get detected. Fixes: 1. Xfce when defaulting to no version found goes to 4, this is a bad idea, it's better to not show any version, since xfcie could one day be 5. 2. Fixed Blackbox fallback detection, there were cases where Blackpox not found in xprop -root, now it falls back to ps aux detection. 3. For wm: tested all known variants, added support for things like Mutter (Marco) syntax. Note that bunsenlab uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE to work around some glitches, but it's actually Openbox. If run as root, it will show openbox correctly, otherwise -Sxxx will show wm: openbox, but that's due to bunsenlabs choices there. 4. Rewrote a lot of DistroData to handle more dynamic testing of values, it's sad that at almost 2020 we are still stumbling around trying to find a consistent way to identify distros, and derived distros. 5. Added more debugger data collectors in the logging, some data was not being tracked well during log process which made debugging harder. Enhancements: 1. New feature, -Gxx now shows for Xorg drivers alternate: which are drivers that Xorg auto checks but which are not installed. Those were ignored in the past. This can be useful to see for example that there are other driver install options available. Thanks gm10 for that suggestion. 2. Tested and added the following explicit handlers for Distros: and base: in some cases: grml, peppermint, kali, siduction, aptosid, arco, manjaro, chakra, antergos, bunsenlabs, and a few others. These are a pain to add and test, basically I have to boot a live cd of each one, then test the files and ID methods, but the ID methods must also be as dynamic as possible because you never know when a distro is going to change how they use os-release vs issue vs lsb-release vs <name>-release. I would have tested a few more but their livecds failed to properly run on vbox. 3. Added a few more disk vendor IDs. 4. Added some more programs to debugger data collector for future feature vdpau, but that needs more data because we don't really know the variants for example for dual card systems. 5. Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item.

\- Adds (if present), display manager (\fBdm\fR) version number.
New version, man page. Big set of changes. Full USB refactor, plus added features. Bugs: 1. A result of the issue #156 USB refactor, I discovered that the --usb sort order, which was based on Bus+DeviceID, in fact is wrong, pure and simple. This was exposed by using a second USB hub on a bus, the Device IDs are not really related in any clearly logical way to the actual position on the bus. The solution was to fully refactor the entire USB logic and then use generated alpha sorters based on the full bus-port[.port] ID. Device ID is now printed last in the ID string, like so: 1-4:1. Note that Device IDs start at 1 for each bus, regardless of how many hubs you have attached to that port. 2. Certain situations triggered a bug in Optical devices, I'd forgotten to change $_ to $key in two places. Since that part didn't normally get triggered, I'd never noticed that bug before. Thanks TinyCore for exposing that glitch! Fixes: 1. On legacy systems, fluxbox --version does not work, -v does. Corrected. 2. for --usb, network devices should now show the correct 'type: Network'. For some weird reason, the people who made the usb types didn't seem to consider many key devices, scanners, wifi/ethernet adapters, and those are almost always "Vendor defined class". 3. A really big fix, for instances where system is using only Busybox, like TinyCore, or booting into any system running busybox for whatever reason, now avoids the various errors when using busybox ps, which only for example outputs 3, not 11, default columns for ps aux, and which does not support ps -j, which is used in the start/shell client information. This gets rid of a huge spray of errors, and actually allows for pretty complete output from systems that only have busybox tools installed. This should cover everything from TinyCore to MIPS to ARM systems that run minimalist Linux. Note that this fix goes along with the /sys based USB parser, since such systems may have USB, but are unlikely to have lsusb installed, but do have /sys USB data. 4. In some cases, strings /sbin/init would trigger a false version result, fixed that logic so now it rarely will do that. Enhancements: 1. Added Mosksha desktop, that's a Bodhi fork of Enlightenment E17; added qtile window manager (no version info). 2. Added Bodhi detection; Salix + base slackware; kde neon system base; 3. Added support for slaptget repos, basic, it may not be perfecct. 4. More disk vendors, and matches for existing vendors. 5. Full rewrite of USB data, in --usb, -A, and -N, along with core usb data engines. This makes lsusb optional, though recommended (because it has a better vendor/ product ID to string internal database) than /sys data. This was in response to a second set of issues in #156 by gm10, USB drivers. Depending on the system, using only /sys data, while slightly less informative, is between 20 and 2000 milliseconds faster, so if you want speed, either use the new --usb-sys option, or the configuration file USB_SYS=[true|false] option. 1. switched to cleaner more efficient data structures 2. added ports count to hub report, linux and bsd. 3. added [--usb|-A|-N] -xxx serial for Device items, if present. 4. added --usb -xx drivers, per interface, can be 1 or more drivers. 5. fully refactored -A and -N usb device logic, far cleaner and simple now, much easier to work with, no more hacks to find things and match them. 6. USB type: now comes from /sys, and is in general going to be more accurate than the lsusb -v based method, which was always an ugly and incomplete hack. As with drivers, it also now lists all the interface types found per device, not just the first one as with the previous method. Note that HID means the more verbose: Human Interface Device, but I shortened it. Now that the type: data is created by inxi reading the class/subclass/protocal IDs, and then figuring out what to do itself, I can have quite a bit more flexibility in terms of how type is generated. 7. added --usb -xxx interfaces: [count] for devices, which lists the device interface count. This can be useful to determine if say, a usb/keyboard adapter is a 2 interface device. Note that Audio devices generally have many interfaces, since they do more than 1 thing (audio output, microphone input, etc.). 8. Support for user configuration file item: USB_SYS=[true|false]. This is useful if you want to see only the /sys version of the data, or if you want the significant speed boost not using lsusb offers, particularly on older systems with a complex USB setup, many buses, many devices, etc. New option --usb-tool overrides USB_SYS value, and forces lsusb use. 9. New options: --usb-sys - forces all usb items to use /sys data, and skip lsusb. Note that you still have to use the feature options, like --usb, -A, or -N. This can lead to a significant improvement in execution time for inxi. 10. Rather than the previous bus:device ID string, to go along with the internal sorting strings used, inxi now shows the real Bus / port /port ids, like: 1-3.2.1:3 - Bus-Port[.port]:device id. 6. Added support for Xvesa display server. Thanks for exposing that one, TinyCore! 7. Added tce package manager to repos. That's the tinycore package manager. Changes: 1. big one, after 10 plus years, the venerable 'Card-x:' for -A,-N, and -G has been replaced by the more neutral 'Device-x:'. This was a suggestion by gm10 from Mint in issue #156 This makes sense because for a long time, most of these devices are not cards, they are SOC, motherboard builtin, USB devices, etc, so the one thing they all are are some form of a device, and the one thing that they are all not is a Card. Along with the recent change from HDD: to Local Storage in Disks: this brings inxi terminology out of the ancient times and into the present. Thanks for the nudge gm10. Removed: See inxi-perl/docs/inxi-fragments.txt for removed blocks. 1. Entire parser for lsusb -v, now it all runs either usbdevs or lsusb, and if Linux and not lsusb, it will use /sys exclusively, otherwise it uses /sys data to complete the lsusb vendor/product strings. 2. Two functions that were used by -A and -N to match usb devices and get their /sys data, that became redundant since it all now goes through the /sys parser already, so those features can get the data pre-parsed from the @usb arrays.

\- Adds \fBinterfaces:\fR for non hub devices.
New version, new man. Huge set of changes. Excitement!! Thrills! Spills? Bugs: 1. There was a missing main::is_int test that in some instances triggered error. This is corrected. 2. More of a fix, but legacy devices were not matching NIC to IF because the /sys path was not a link as it is now. I made a separate function to handle that match test so it could be more readily be worked with. Fixes: 1. Arch/Manjaro presented yet another Xorg.wrapper path, this time /usr/lib. Why? who knows. That to me is a bug, but since if it's not handled in inxi, it makes it look like inxi has a server: -G bug, I worked around it. Again. This creates the bug when you do not use the actual true path of Xorg where Xorg.wrapper complains and will not show -version data. Why move this? why use that wrapper thing? I don't know, makes no sense to me. 2. More MIPS data, thanks manjaro ARM people. This made MIPS much better, though it will certainly need more work. 3. Better ARM support, added in devicetree strings, which helps pad out the Devices IDs, albeit with very little data, but at least the devices are detected. Thanks Manjaro ARM people there again. 4. Removed Upstart init test for arm/mips/sparc devices. This test made MIPS device totally puke and die, killed networking, so since very few upstart running systems will be arm/mips devices, I decided there better safe than sorry. 5. Found another uptime syntax case, MIPS as root does not have the users item. 6. Many tweaks to SOC data generators, will catch more categories, but the lists will never be done since each device can be, and often is, random re the syntax. 7. USB networking failed to test usb type for 'network', which led to failed ids on some device strings. SOC types are now filtered through a function to create consistent device type strings for the per device tool to use to assign each to its proper @device_<type> array. 8. For pciconf/FreeBSD, cleaned up device class strings to get rid of 0x and trailing subsubclass values, this converts it into the same hex 4 item string that is used by GNU/Linux/lspci so I can apply consistent rules to all pci types, no matter what the generator source is, lspci, pcidump, pciconf, and eventually pcictl if I can get netbsd running. 9. Fixed internal --dbg counts for various features, and updated docs for that. 10. Fixed ARM / MIPS missing data messages, they were redundant. 11. Ongoing, moving excessive source comments to inxi-values.txt and inxi-data.txt. 12. Added unity-system-compositor as mir detection, who knew? I guess that was its production application name all along? Oh well. Enhancements: 1. Added basic support for OpenIndiana/Solaris/SunOS as a bsd type. Just enough to make errors not happen.-repos 2. future proofed unix/bsd detections just to avoid the unset $bsd_type of non BSD unix. 3. Added S6 init system to init tool. 4. Added OpenBSD pcidump to new DeviceData feature. Includes now <root required> message on Device-x: lines if not root. All working. 5. Fully refactored the old pci stuff to DeviceData package/class, due to adding so many types to that, it made sense to make it a single class. 6. Did the same to USBData, because of lsusb, usbdevs, and /sys usb, made sense to integrate the data grabber into one package/class 7. Added speed: item to USB:, it shows in Mb/s or Gb/s 8. Added Odroid C1/C2 handling, which is one big reason I opted to refactor the devices data logic into DeviceData. 9. Added ash shell, not sure if that detection will work, but if it does, it will show. 10. As part of the overall DeviceData refactor, I moved all per type data into dedicated arrays, like @device_graphics, @device_audio, @device_network, etc, which lets me totally dump all the per device item tests, and just check the arrays, which have already been tested for on the construction of the primary DeviceData set. Moved all per type detections into DeviceData so that is now one complete logic block, and the per type data generators don't need to know about any of that logic at all anymore. 11. Added sway, swaybar, way-cooler as window managers, info items. Not 100% positive about the --version, their docs weren't very consistent, but I think the guess should be right if their docs weren't incorrect. 12. Added vendor: item to network, not sure why I kept that off when I added vendor: to audio and graphics. It made sense at the time, but not now, so now -GNA all have vendor: if detected. 13. More device vendors!! The list never ends. Thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database, somehow you have users that manage to use every obscure usb/ssd/hdd known to humanity. 14. Big update to --admin, now has the following: A: partitions: shows 'raw size: ' of partition, this lets users see the amount of file system overhead, along with the available size as usual. B: partitions: show percent of raw in size: C: partitions: show if root, block size of partition file system. Uses blockdev --getbsz <part> D: partition: swap: show swappiness and vfs cache pressure, with (default) or (default <default value) added. This apparently can help debugging some kernel issues etc. Whatever, I'll take someone's word for that. E: Disks: show block size: logical: physical: 15. New option and configuration item: --partition-sort / PARTITION_SORT This lets users change default mount point sort order to any available ordering in the partition item. Man page and help menu show options. 16. Going along with the MIPS fixes, added basic support for OpenWRT, which uses an immensely stripped down busybox (no ps aux, for example), maybe because it only runs as root user/ not sure, anyway, took many fixes. Changes: 1. Changed usb: 1.1 to rev: 1.1 because for linux, we have the USB revision number, like 3.1. Note that this is going to be wrong for BSDs, but that's fine. 2. Changed slightly the output of Memory item, now it follows the following rules: A: if -m/--memory is triggered (> -v4, or -m) Memory line always shows in Memory: item, which makes sense. Note that -m overrides all other options of where Memory minireport could be located. B: if -tm is triggered, and -I is not triggered, Memory shows in in -tm C: if -I is triggered, and -m is not triggered, Memory: shows in -I line.

New version, new man. Fine tunings. New features: 1. for a very few systems that have wmctrl installed, will shows -xxx wm if present Enhancements: 1. made xorg display server and protocols show more consistently with other layout: Display: x11 server: X.org 1.9.12 drivers: loaded: ... if no display protocol found: Display: server: X.org 1.9.12 drivers: loaded: ... This brings the -G in line with the other lines, of not putting different data types inside of parentheses as much as possible. -I still has two of these, but so far it's not clear how to otherwise show SSH or su/sudo/login in their respective spaces. Debugger data collector also has something I should have added ages ago, gz filename now includes the basic 2 digit inxi version number, like 3.0 at end, so I can readily determine the debugger inxi version, and thus avoid having to root through lots of versions to find new stuff. These are all largely cosmetic improvements, or debugger adjustments, except for -Sxxx now offering wm: if present. Also changed Desktop: name... (toolkit data) to: Desktop: name... tk: toolkit data to be more consistent, while not adding great length to the output. These two changes should also help export to json/xml since that puts unique key/values back into key value pairs, not merging two together.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man page. Big update! Get it in before your freeze!! Bugs: 1. Maybe the vendor/product regex, which when + was used, would put out errors. 2. Maybe Fix 4, since that could lead to incorrect behavior when sudo is involved depending on sudo configuration. 3. BIG: current inxi weather will probably fail if not updated to this or newer versions!! Not an inxi bug per se, but your users will see it as one. Fixes: 1. Fixed Patriot disk ID. 2. Fixes for PPC board handling. 3. Regex cleaner fixes, this could lead to error in special cases of product vendor names. 4. crazy from frugalware pointed out that $b_root detection was flawed, and relied on a bad assumption, particularly for sudo. As usual, he's right, that is now corrected, and uses $< Perl native to determine UID. Enhancements: 1. Added septor to Debian system base. 2. Removed quiet filters for downloaders when using --dbg 1, now you see the entire download action for curl/wget downloads. This went along with issue # 174 3. New feature: --wan-ip-url. This closed issue #174. Also has user config option: WAN_IP_URL as well to make changes permanent. 4. Added --dbg 1 to man and help. The other --dbg options are random and can change, but --dbg 1 is always for downloading, so might as well tell people about it. 5. To anticipate the loss of a major weather API, inxi is redone to use smxi.org based robust API. This also allows for a new switch, --weather-source (or --ws for shorter version), options 0-9, which will trigger different APIs on smxi.org. Added WEATHER_SOURCE configuration option as well. Note that 4-9 are not currently active. Also added in better error handling for weather. The main benefit here is that inxi is now largely agnostic to the weather APIs used, and those can be changed with no impact to inxi users who are running frozen pool inxi's, or who have not updated their inxi versions. NOTE: all inxi versions older than 3.0.31 will probably fail for weather quite soon. So update your inxi version in your repos!! 6. More disk vendors IDs and matches. Thanks linuxlite hardware database. 7. Going along with weather changes, added, if present, cloud cover, rain, and snow reports. Those are for previously observed hour. 8. Small change to Intel CPU architecture, taking a guess on stepping for skylake/Cascade lake ID. Guessing if stepping is > 4, it's cascade lake. But could not find this documented, so it's a guess. At worst, it means that Cascade lake, which must be a later steppingi than 4, will not be ID'ed as skylake. 9. Documentation updates for data sources. Changes: 1. inxi now uses a new system to get weather data. There is no longer a risk of weather failing if the API used locally in inxi fails or goes away. This change should be largely invisible to casual users. 2. In weather, moved dewpoint to be after humidity, which makes a little more sense.

\- Adds location (city state country), observation altitude (if available),
New version, new man. A few more modifications to weather. Fixes: 1. In case with zero wind speed, it now shows zero, not N/A, as expected. Enhancements: 1. Depending on weather source used: * Shows precipitation, not rain/snow. * Adds Sunrise/sunset (most sources do not have this)
2019-02-08 04:52:41 +00:00
weather observation time (if available), sunset/sunrise (if available).
New version, new man. Big update, corrects many small typos, adds some good new features. So now inxi and pinxi will grab the inxi.1 or pinxi.1 man file and install it on systems that do not have -U blocked. The -U block of course remains the same. New features: 1. now does not require root or 'file' to get unmounted fs type. Also, for many mounted partitions, rather than showing the meaningless fuseblock it will usually get the filesystem right. 2. -U now works with optional --man option to download man page for pinxi and -U 3 dev server updates. This gets around the fact I had to remove the gz files from master to get the size small enough to make maintainers happy. Non branch inxi master works as before, updates both from github or from dev server, depending on your selection. 3. Thanks very much to the people who have been contributing in a positve way, helping to make inxi better. The untold number of small and large new features, small glitches, etc, that have been fixed this week are simply too many too list. Many to most were inxi bugs or weaknesses, now corrected. 4. binxi branch has now been made fully operational, though I do not plan on doing any work beyond the mothballing of that venerable program (gawk->bash inxi), it's fully operational, it updates, it gets its man page, but all as binxi, so you can, as with pinxi, run all of them separately. This officially terminates my support for Gawk/Bash inxi, which can be found as binxi in the inxi-legacy branch. 5. pinxi has been promoted to permanent development branch, where bug fixes, new features, etc, will be tested, along with man page updates etc. This will help reduce the number of commits to master branch. 6. Audio / Network usb cards now show the true driver(s). There are often more than one for audio, that's a nice enancement. 7. inxi outputs to json / xml, which will probably interest some developers eventually, well it already did, that was going to wait, but someone wanted it. 8. Apt repo handler now supports DEB822 format, which is not an easy format to parse. ========================================================== MAINTAINERS: Note the following: despite my strong dislike for tags, every commit that touches either inxi or inxi.1 man page will be tagged if I think they would be something relevant to distro packagers. While github insists on calling my tags releases, I want to be crystal clear: inxi has one and only one 'release', the current master branch version. The tagged commits that github calls releases are NOT releases, they are just tagged commits. The version I release tomorrow will be the current master, and all previous versions will be obsolete and will not be supported. The .gz files have been removed from the master branch history, thus shrinking it a lot. I have removed for this reason the master-plain branch, which mirrored master and provided a gz free branch, but apparently this was simply ignored so there's no reason to keep it going. If you insist on grabbing all the branches and find more data in there, then please correct your practices, you are only getting the data from the master branch. inxi is rolling release software and has no releases, so the tags are supposed to create some illusion that a tag actually means something. Since it doesn't, I decided to take the path of least resistance and just add an auto tagging tool to my commit scripts and use it when it seems appropriate, like on this commit. All development work now will happen via the pinxi branch, so that makes the process a lot cleaner, since I can now basically beta test all new commmits to master. pinxi and binxi are both standalone versions of inxi, they have their own config and data directories, config files, man pages, etc. ----------------------------------------------------- New Perl inxi is already way ahead of Gawk/Bash inxi, more features, more accurate, and most bugs being fixed now are because a lot of people are contributing eyes and testing, and are finding stuff that was wrong, or simply missing, on old inxi as well as on Perl inxi. Fixes to Perl inxi (>2.9) will not be rolled into to binxi since the entire reason I spent over 4 months on this project was to never have to touch Gawk/Bash inxi again. Most imporant, however, is that the simple fact was, Gawk/Bash inxi has been nearly impossible to work on despite my following rigorous practices in coding, and I simply won't work with that type of stuff anymore. Perl 5.x is a true delight in comparison, and makes adding new features, enhancing others, far easier, or even possible, where it wasn't before. On a technical level, I have tested Perl inxi heavily, and it will run on all Perl 5.x versions back to 5.008, which is the cutoff point. This was not that hard to do, which is why I picked Perl 5.x as the language. This means that you can drop, just as with binxi, Perl inxi onto a 10 year old system, or older, and it will run fine, albeit a touch slowly, but must faster than binxi. ----------------------------------------------------- So far users are really liking the new one, it's usually faster in most cases, the output is cleaner, there's more data, more options, and basically it's gotten the thumbs up from all the testers, and there have been a LOT, who have helped. I want to give a special thanks to the following distros for their exceptional support and testing: 0. the people who hang out on irc.oftc.net #smxi. Very patient, will test things with astounding patience, so thanks to them. Archerseven, iotaka and KittyKatt have been been incredibly helpful when it comes to testing and debugging, and finding corner cases that I would never have found. 1. AntiX: they were the first to beta test pinxi, and found massive numbers of bugs, and stuck with the testing for a long time. They made testing possible for the next wave of testers, my hats off to them, I've always liked them. 2. Manjaro also was very helpful, and found more issues and enhancements. 3. Ubuntu forums users found more, and helped enhance many faetures 4. Mint users have been very helpful, and were the impetus for some nifty new features, ilke switching all color codes off when output is piped or sent to file. They have reminded me of how valuable people's views can be who may not share the same tech world view as you, but are still very talented and observant individuals. 5. Slackware users provided some very thoughtful feedback, which was no surprise but welcome nonetheless, thanks. 6. Same with Debian forums, again, some very useful and constructive ideas and observations, and some very arcane and odd hardware that exposed even more corner case bugs. And several other distros were also helpful, each in their own way. Solus for example now has their package manager added in repos.

New version, man page. Features, bugs, fixes! Bugs: 1. Color selector accepted '' as a value, which it would then write to config file, creating errors since it's not an integer value. 2. Corrected distro id error for last fallback case, making the distro ID out of the filename itself, that was missing the assignment to $distro. 3. mmcblk0 was showing up as an unmounted partition, due to failing to filter mmcblk[0-9] in unmounted. Fixes: 1. Added missing compositor kwin_wayland to compositor detections 2. For -M, on laptops, sometimes Type: would duplicate in Chassis: type: which looks silly, so now it checks to make sure the two values are different before using the Chassis: type: data. 3. -D disk vendor, added GALAX, fixed Toshiba, which sometimes occurs other than start of disk id string, so now it checks the whole string. This seems particularly common in nvme devices from Toshiba. This is the only vendor I have found that puts the vendor string later in the device id string. 4. Added protection against unreadable but present /etc/issue. This was caused by a now fixed bug in OpenSuSe, which symbolically linked to create /etc/issue from /var/run/issue, but with 600 permissions, root read only, that is. Note that this bug has since been fixed (now has the correct 644 permissions), but I figured better safe than sorry in case anyone else decides that's a good idea in the future. Now only sends to reader if readable. 5. Related to 4, made reader not exit on failure, now just prints error message and keeps going. 6. Upped maximum distro string length to 60, from 50. AntiX for example was coming in at 48, so I decided to add some safe room now that inxi does dynamic sizing, it is not a big problem having very long distro id strings. Enhancements: 1. Added basic /proc data parser to debugger. Can't get all the data or files because it's simply too big, but grabs the basics. 2. Added vcgencmd for some ARM rasberry pi debugging. 3. ARM: add model if not found in /proc/cpuinfo, or if different. 4. Added Tdie cpu sensor type, this is coming soon in latest kernels, so catching it early. Tdie will replace k10-temp sensor item temp1. 5. Added --admin extra data option, and first set of extra data, -C, which will show CPU Errata (bugs), family, model-id, stepping (as hex (decimal) or hex if less than or equal to 9), microcode (as hex). 6. Battery: added with -x option, if found, attached battery driven devices, like wifi keyboard, mouse. If upower is present, will also try to show battery charge percent for those devices. Note that -B only shows the Device-X items if -x is used, and will not show anything in -F unless there is a system, not device, battery present, or if -Fx is used and there is a Device battery detected. Added upower to recommends. 7. Basic -Dxxx disk rotation speeds added. Requires udevadm. Not all spinning disks show rotation speeds, and it depends on udevadm, so if no rotation found, it shows nothing. 8. Added explicit Arco Linux and Antergos distro ID support. This requires more checks, but in theory, both should now show Arco Linux or Antergos instead of default 'Arch Linux' as before, plus extra data if found, like version.

New version, new man. Big bug fix, new features. Bugs: 1. Finally tracked down and solved the Xorg drivers bug which was caused by Xorg checking its list of defaults 2 times, not 1, which resulted in failed status on second try since it was already loaded. Secondary bug was found that resulted in failing to show the failed, and only showing unloaded, which was also wrong. This finally fixes issue #134 item 5. Thanks Mint users for the help on that one. 2. Small bug in Openbox version detection, typo. 3. fixed a small glitch in the dm: detection that on systems where /var/run exists but is not linked to /run, the dm would fail to get detected. Fixes: 1. Xfce when defaulting to no version found goes to 4, this is a bad idea, it's better to not show any version, since xfcie could one day be 5. 2. Fixed Blackbox fallback detection, there were cases where Blackpox not found in xprop -root, now it falls back to ps aux detection. 3. For wm: tested all known variants, added support for things like Mutter (Marco) syntax. Note that bunsenlab uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE to work around some glitches, but it's actually Openbox. If run as root, it will show openbox correctly, otherwise -Sxxx will show wm: openbox, but that's due to bunsenlabs choices there. 4. Rewrote a lot of DistroData to handle more dynamic testing of values, it's sad that at almost 2020 we are still stumbling around trying to find a consistent way to identify distros, and derived distros. 5. Added more debugger data collectors in the logging, some data was not being tracked well during log process which made debugging harder. Enhancements: 1. New feature, -Gxx now shows for Xorg drivers alternate: which are drivers that Xorg auto checks but which are not installed. Those were ignored in the past. This can be useful to see for example that there are other driver install options available. Thanks gm10 for that suggestion. 2. Tested and added the following explicit handlers for Distros: and base: in some cases: grml, peppermint, kali, siduction, aptosid, arco, manjaro, chakra, antergos, bunsenlabs, and a few others. These are a pain to add and test, basically I have to boot a live cd of each one, then test the files and ID methods, but the ID methods must also be as dynamic as possible because you never know when a distro is going to change how they use os-release vs issue vs lsb-release vs <name>-release. I would have tested a few more but their livecds failed to properly run on vbox. 3. Added a few more disk vendor IDs. 4. Added some more programs to debugger data collector for future feature vdpau, but that needs more data because we don't really know the variants for example for dual card systems. 5. Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item.

Small bug in Openbox version detection, typo. 3. fixed a small glitch in the dm: detection that on systems where /var/run exists but is not linked to /run, the dm would fail to get detected. Fixes: 1. Xfce when defaulting to no version found goes to 4, this is a bad idea, it's better to not show any version, since xfcie could one day be 5. 2. Fixed Blackbox fallback detection, there were cases where Blackpox not found in xprop -root, now it falls back to ps aux detection. 3. For wm: tested all known variants, added support for things like Mutter (Marco) syntax. Note that bunsenlab uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE to work around some glitches, but it's actually Openbox. If run as root, it will show openbox correctly, otherwise -Sxxx will show wm: openbox, but that's due to bunsenlabs choices there. 4. Rewrote a lot of DistroData to handle more dynamic testing of values, it's sad that at almost 2020 we are still stumbling around trying to find a consistent way to identify distros, and derived distros. 5. Added more debugger data collectors in the logging, some data was not being tracked well during log process which made debugging harder. Enhancements: 1. New feature, -Gxx now shows for Xorg drivers alternate: which are drivers that Xorg auto checks but which are not installed. Those were ignored in the past. This can be useful to see for example that there are other driver install options available. Thanks gm10 for that suggestion. 2. Tested and added the following explicit handlers for Distros: and base: in some cases: grml, peppermint, kali, siduction, aptosid, arco, manjaro, chakra, antergos, bunsenlabs, and a few others. These are a pain to add and test, basically I have to boot a live cd of each one, then test the files and ID methods, but the ID methods must also be as dynamic as possible because you never know when a distro is going to change how they use os-release vs issue vs lsb-release vs <name>-release. I would have tested a few more but their livecds failed to properly run on vbox. 3. Added a few more disk vendor IDs. 4. Added some more programs to debugger data collector for future feature vdpau, but that needs more data because we don't really know the variants for example for dual card systems. 5. Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item.

New version, man page. Fixes, enhancements, changes. Thanks: 1. AntiX forums, for testing -C --admin, suggestions, always helpful. Bugs: 1. Added switch to set @ps_gui, I forgot case where info block was only thing that used ps_gui (Nitrux kde nomad latte case). This led to no info: data if other ps_gui switches not activated. Now each block that can use it activates it. Fixes: 1. To clarify issue #161 added help/man explanation on how to get colors in cases where you want to preserve colors for piped or redirected output. Thanks fugo. 2. LMDE 3.0 released, slightly different system base handling, so refactored to add Debian version, see enhancement 2. Tested on some old vm instances, improved old system Debian system base id, but it's empirical, distro by distro, there is no rule I can use to automatically do it, sadly. 3. 'Motherboard' sensors field name added, a few small tweaks to sensors. This was in response to issue #159, which also raised a problem I was not really aware of, user generated sensor config files, that can have totally random field names. Longer term solution, start getting data from sys to pad out lm-sensors data, or to handle cases where no lm-sensors installed. 4. Fixed kwin_11 and kwin_wayland compositor print names, I'd left out the _, which made it look strange, like there were two compositors or something. 5. Fixed latte-dock ID, I thought the program name when running was latte, not latte-dock. inxi checks for both now. Thanks Nitrux for exposing that in vm test. 6. Sensors: added in a small filter to motherboard temp, avoid values that are too high, like SYSTIN: 118 C, filters out to only use < 90 C. Very unlikely a mobo would be more than 90C unless it's a mistake or about to melt. This may correct anoymous debugger dataset report from rakasunka. Enhancements: 1. Added --admin to -v 8 and to --debugger 2x 2. Expanded system base to use Debian version tool, like the ubuntu one, that lets me match version number to codename. The ubuntu one matches code names to release dates. Added Neptune, PureOS, Sparky, Tails, to new Debian system base handler. 3. Big enhancement: --admin -C now shows a nice report on cpu vulnerabilities, and has a good error message if no data found. Report shows: Vulnerabilities: Type: [e.g. meltdown] status/mitigation: text explanation. Note: 'status' is for when no mitigation, either not applicable, or is vulnerable. 'mitigation' is when it's handled, and how. Thanks issue #160 Vascom from Fedora for that request. 4. The never-ending saga of disk vendor IDs continues. More obscure vendors, more matches to existing vendors. Thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database Changes: 1. Reordered usb output, I don't know why I had Hubs and Devices use different ordering and different -x switch priorities, that was silly, and made it hard to read. Now shows: Device/Hub: bus-id-port-id[.port-id]:device-id info: [product info] type/ports: [devices/hubs] usb: [type, speed] -x adds drivers for devices, and usb: speed is now default for devices, same as Hubs. Why I had those different is beyond me. The USB ordering is now more sensible, the various components of each matching whether hub or device. Unfixable or Won't Fix: 1. Unable to detect Nomad desktop. As far as I can tell, Nomad is only a theme applied to KDE Plasma, there is no program by that name detectable, only a reference in ps aux to a theme called nomad. 2. Nitrux system base ID will not work until they correct their /etc/os-release file. 3. Tails live cd for some inexplicable reason uses non standard /etc/os-release field names, which forces me to either do a custom detection just for them, or for them to fix this bug. I opted for ignoring it, if I let each distro break standard formats then try to work around it, the distro ID will grow to be a 1000 lines long easily. Will file distro bug reports when I find these from now on.

\- Adds CPU Vulnerabilities (bugs) as known by your current kernel. Lists by
\fBType: ... (status|mitigation): ....\fR for systems that support this feature
(Linux kernel 4.14 or newer, or patched older kernels).
New version, man page. Features, bugs, fixes! Bugs: 1. Color selector accepted '' as a value, which it would then write to config file, creating errors since it's not an integer value. 2. Corrected distro id error for last fallback case, making the distro ID out of the filename itself, that was missing the assignment to $distro. 3. mmcblk0 was showing up as an unmounted partition, due to failing to filter mmcblk[0-9] in unmounted. Fixes: 1. Added missing compositor kwin_wayland to compositor detections 2. For -M, on laptops, sometimes Type: would duplicate in Chassis: type: which looks silly, so now it checks to make sure the two values are different before using the Chassis: type: data. 3. -D disk vendor, added GALAX, fixed Toshiba, which sometimes occurs other than start of disk id string, so now it checks the whole string. This seems particularly common in nvme devices from Toshiba. This is the only vendor I have found that puts the vendor string later in the device id string. 4. Added protection against unreadable but present /etc/issue. This was caused by a now fixed bug in OpenSuSe, which symbolically linked to create /etc/issue from /var/run/issue, but with 600 permissions, root read only, that is. Note that this bug has since been fixed (now has the correct 644 permissions), but I figured better safe than sorry in case anyone else decides that's a good idea in the future. Now only sends to reader if readable. 5. Related to 4, made reader not exit on failure, now just prints error message and keeps going. 6. Upped maximum distro string length to 60, from 50. AntiX for example was coming in at 48, so I decided to add some safe room now that inxi does dynamic sizing, it is not a big problem having very long distro id strings. Enhancements: 1. Added basic /proc data parser to debugger. Can't get all the data or files because it's simply too big, but grabs the basics. 2. Added vcgencmd for some ARM rasberry pi debugging. 3. ARM: add model if not found in /proc/cpuinfo, or if different. 4. Added Tdie cpu sensor type, this is coming soon in latest kernels, so catching it early. Tdie will replace k10-temp sensor item temp1. 5. Added --admin extra data option, and first set of extra data, -C, which will show CPU Errata (bugs), family, model-id, stepping (as hex (decimal) or hex if less than or equal to 9), microcode (as hex). 6. Battery: added with -x option, if found, attached battery driven devices, like wifi keyboard, mouse. If upower is present, will also try to show battery charge percent for those devices. Note that -B only shows the Device-X items if -x is used, and will not show anything in -F unless there is a system, not device, battery present, or if -Fx is used and there is a Device battery detected. Added upower to recommends. 7. Basic -Dxxx disk rotation speeds added. Requires udevadm. Not all spinning disks show rotation speeds, and it depends on udevadm, so if no rotation found, it shows nothing. 8. Added explicit Arco Linux and Antergos distro ID support. This requires more checks, but in theory, both should now show Arco Linux or Antergos instead of default 'Arch Linux' as before, plus extra data if found, like version.

New version, new man. Huge set of changes. Excitement!! Thrills! Spills? Bugs: 1. There was a missing main::is_int test that in some instances triggered error. This is corrected. 2. More of a fix, but legacy devices were not matching NIC to IF because the /sys path was not a link as it is now. I made a separate function to handle that match test so it could be more readily be worked with. Fixes: 1. Arch/Manjaro presented yet another Xorg.wrapper path, this time /usr/lib. Why? who knows. That to me is a bug, but since if it's not handled in inxi, it makes it look like inxi has a server: -G bug, I worked around it. Again. This creates the bug when you do not use the actual true path of Xorg where Xorg.wrapper complains and will not show -version data. Why move this? why use that wrapper thing? I don't know, makes no sense to me. 2. More MIPS data, thanks manjaro ARM people. This made MIPS much better, though it will certainly need more work. 3. Better ARM support, added in devicetree strings, which helps pad out the Devices IDs, albeit with very little data, but at least the devices are detected. Thanks Manjaro ARM people there again. 4. Removed Upstart init test for arm/mips/sparc devices. This test made MIPS device totally puke and die, killed networking, so since very few upstart running systems will be arm/mips devices, I decided there better safe than sorry. 5. Found another uptime syntax case, MIPS as root does not have the users item. 6. Many tweaks to SOC data generators, will catch more categories, but the lists will never be done since each device can be, and often is, random re the syntax. 7. USB networking failed to test usb type for 'network', which led to failed ids on some device strings. SOC types are now filtered through a function to create consistent device type strings for the per device tool to use to assign each to its proper @device_<type> array. 8. For pciconf/FreeBSD, cleaned up device class strings to get rid of 0x and trailing subsubclass values, this converts it into the same hex 4 item string that is used by GNU/Linux/lspci so I can apply consistent rules to all pci types, no matter what the generator source is, lspci, pcidump, pciconf, and eventually pcictl if I can get netbsd running. 9. Fixed internal --dbg counts for various features, and updated docs for that. 10. Fixed ARM / MIPS missing data messages, they were redundant. 11. Ongoing, moving excessive source comments to inxi-values.txt and inxi-data.txt. 12. Added unity-system-compositor as mir detection, who knew? I guess that was its production application name all along? Oh well. Enhancements: 1. Added basic support for OpenIndiana/Solaris/SunOS as a bsd type. Just enough to make errors not happen.-repos 2. future proofed unix/bsd detections just to avoid the unset $bsd_type of non BSD unix. 3. Added S6 init system to init tool. 4. Added OpenBSD pcidump to new DeviceData feature. Includes now <root required> message on Device-x: lines if not root. All working. 5. Fully refactored the old pci stuff to DeviceData package/class, due to adding so many types to that, it made sense to make it a single class. 6. Did the same to USBData, because of lsusb, usbdevs, and /sys usb, made sense to integrate the data grabber into one package/class 7. Added speed: item to USB:, it shows in Mb/s or Gb/s 8. Added Odroid C1/C2 handling, which is one big reason I opted to refactor the devices data logic into DeviceData. 9. Added ash shell, not sure if that detection will work, but if it does, it will show. 10. As part of the overall DeviceData refactor, I moved all per type data into dedicated arrays, like @device_graphics, @device_audio, @device_network, etc, which lets me totally dump all the per device item tests, and just check the arrays, which have already been tested for on the construction of the primary DeviceData set. Moved all per type detections into DeviceData so that is now one complete logic block, and the per type data generators don't need to know about any of that logic at all anymore. 11. Added sway, swaybar, way-cooler as window managers, info items. Not 100% positive about the --version, their docs weren't very consistent, but I think the guess should be right if their docs weren't incorrect. 12. Added vendor: item to network, not sure why I kept that off when I added vendor: to audio and graphics. It made sense at the time, but not now, so now -GNA all have vendor: if detected. 13. More device vendors!! The list never ends. Thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database, somehow you have users that manage to use every obscure usb/ssd/hdd known to humanity. 14. Big update to --admin, now has the following: A: partitions: shows 'raw size: ' of partition, this lets users see the amount of file system overhead, along with the available size as usual. B: partitions: show percent of raw in size: C: partitions: show if root, block size of partition file system. Uses blockdev --getbsz <part> D: partition: swap: show swappiness and vfs cache pressure, with (default) or (default <default value) added. This apparently can help debugging some kernel issues etc. Whatever, I'll take someone's word for that. E: Disks: show block size: logical: physical: 15. New option and configuration item: --partition-sort / PARTITION_SORT This lets users change default mount point sort order to any available ordering in the partition item. Man page and help menu show options. 16. Going along with the MIPS fixes, added basic support for OpenWRT, which uses an immensely stripped down busybox (no ps aux, for example), maybe because it only runs as root user/ not sure, anyway, took many fixes. Changes: 1. Changed usb: 1.1 to rev: 1.1 because for linux, we have the USB revision number, like 3.1. Note that this is going to be wrong for BSDs, but that's fine. 2. Changed slightly the output of Memory item, now it follows the following rules: A: if -m/--memory is triggered (> -v4, or -m) Memory line always shows in Memory: item, which makes sense. Note that -m overrides all other options of where Memory minireport could be located. B: if -tm is triggered, and -I is not triggered, Memory shows in in -tm C: if -I is triggered, and -m is not triggered, Memory: shows in -I line. D: no change in short form inxi no arg output, Memory is there.

New version, new man, new feature!! Bug fixes! Bugs: 1. issue #182 - in freebsd, there was an oversight in the pciconf parser, it was using unfiltered strings as regex pattern, and of course, a string flipped an error. Fix was to add the regex cleaner to the string before it's used in test. 2. NOTE: issue #182 had a second bug, but the issue poster didn't follow up with data or output so it couldn't be fixed. This was related to a syntax change in usbdevs -v output in FreeBSD. Such changes are too common, but it might also simply be a variant I have not seen or handled, but so far no data, so can't fix. Don't blame me if you get this bug, but do post requested debugger data if you want it fixed! Fixes: 1. Updated man for weather, explained more clearly how to use country codes for weather output. More clarifying in general about weather location, and weather restrictions. Enhancements: 1. Added avx/avx2 to default flag list in -C short form. Thanks damentz from liquorix for clarifying why that was a good idea. Note the initial issue came up in a Debian issue report, not here. People!! please post issues here, and don't bug maintainers with feature requests! Maintainers aren't in a position to add a feature, so you should go straight to the source. 1.a. Created in inxi-perl/docs new doc file: cpu-flags.txt, which explains all the flags, and also covers the short form flags and explains why they are used. 2. To resolve another issue, I made a new documentation file: inxi-perl/docs/inxi-custom-recommends.txt This is instructions for maintainers of distros who do not use rpm/apt/pacman but still want the --recommends feature to output their package pool package names for missing packages. I decided to not allow more than the default 3 package managers because no matter what people say, if I allow in more, the maintainer will vanish or lose interest, and I'll be stuck having to maintain their package lists forever. Also, it's silly to even include that package list for any distro that does not use rpm/apt/pacman, since the list is just wasted lines. Instructions in doc file show what to change, and how, and has an example to make it clear. Odds of this actually being used? Not high, lol, but that's fine, if people want it done, they can do it, if not, nothing bad happens, it just won't show any suggested install package, no big deal. 3. Using the new disk vendor method, added even more disk vendors. Thanks linux litet hardware database!! 4. EXCITING!! A new --admin/-a option, suggested by a user on techpatterns.com/forums/ Now -S or -b or -F with -a option for GNU/Linux shows the kernel boot parameters, from /proc/cmdline. Didn't find anything comparable for BSDs, if you can tell me where to look, I'll add it for those too, but wasn't anywhere I looked. Do the BSDs even use that method? Don't know, but the logic is there, waiting to be used if someone shows me how to get it cleanly. The 'parameters:' item shows in the main 'System:' -S output, and will just show the entire kernel parameters used to boot. This could be very helpful to distros who often have to determine if for example graphics blacklists are correctly applied for non free drivers, like nomodeset etc, or if the opposite is present. For forum/distro support, they just have to ask for: inxi -ba and they will see t the relevant graphics info, for instance, or -SGaxxx, or -Faxxx, whatever is used to trigger in this case the graphics and system lines. 5. Updated man/help for 4 as well, now explains what they will see with --admin/ -a options and -S. Good user suggestion, I wish all new features were this easy, heh.

\- Adds kernel boot parameters to \fBKernel\fR section (if detected). Support
varies by OS type.
New version, updated man page, new tarball. Fixed partition bug that could falsely identify a remote filesystem like nfs as /dev fs Added two options: -! 31 - Turns off Host section of System line. This is useful if you want to post output from server without posting its name. -! 32 - Turns on Host section if it has been disabled by user configuration file B_SHOW_HOST='false' Added missing CPU data message, fixed missing cpu cache/bogomips output, turned off bogomips if null for bsd systems because bogomips is a linux kernel feature. Added N/A for no memory report, this would mainly hit bsd systems where user has no permissions to use sysctl or has no read rights for /var/run/dmesg.boot. Many fixes for partitions, now for bsd, if available, uses gpart list to get uuid/label Added support for raid file system syntax in bsd, now excludes main raid device name, and adds a flag to raiddevice/partitionname type so output can identify it as a raid slice/partition. In man page, added -! 31 / -! 32 sections, and some other small edits. Added bsd raid line error message, added bsd sensors line error message. Many other small bug fixes that should make linux more robust in terms of missing data, and better/cleaner output for bsd.

.SH ADVANCED OPTIONS
New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

Bypass \fBWget\fR as a downloader option. Priority is: Perl (HTTP::Tiny),
New version, new man. Big update, corrects many small typos, adds some good new features. So now inxi and pinxi will grab the inxi.1 or pinxi.1 man file and install it on systems that do not have -U blocked. The -U block of course remains the same. New features: 1. now does not require root or 'file' to get unmounted fs type. Also, for many mounted partitions, rather than showing the meaningless fuseblock it will usually get the filesystem right. 2. -U now works with optional --man option to download man page for pinxi and -U 3 dev server updates. This gets around the fact I had to remove the gz files from master to get the size small enough to make maintainers happy. Non branch inxi master works as before, updates both from github or from dev server, depending on your selection. 3. Thanks very much to the people who have been contributing in a positve way, helping to make inxi better. The untold number of small and large new features, small glitches, etc, that have been fixed this week are simply too many too list. Many to most were inxi bugs or weaknesses, now corrected. 4. binxi branch has now been made fully operational, though I do not plan on doing any work beyond the mothballing of that venerable program (gawk->bash inxi), it's fully operational, it updates, it gets its man page, but all as binxi, so you can, as with pinxi, run all of them separately. This officially terminates my support for Gawk/Bash inxi, which can be found as binxi in the inxi-legacy branch. 5. pinxi has been promoted to permanent development branch, where bug fixes, new features, etc, will be tested, along with man page updates etc. This will help reduce the number of commits to master branch. 6. Audio / Network usb cards now show the true driver(s). There are often more than one for audio, that's a nice enancement. 7. inxi outputs to json / xml, which will probably interest some developers eventually, well it already did, that was going to wait, but someone wanted it. 8. Apt repo handler now supports DEB822 format, which is not an easy format to parse. ========================================================== MAINTAINERS: Note the following: despite my strong dislike for tags, every commit that touches either inxi or inxi.1 man page will be tagged if I think they would be something relevant to distro packagers. While github insists on calling my tags releases, I want to be crystal clear: inxi has one and only one 'release', the current master branch version. The tagged commits that github calls releases are NOT releases, they are just tagged commits. The version I release tomorrow will be the current master, and all previous versions will be obsolete and will not be supported. The .gz files have been removed from the master branch history, thus shrinking it a lot. I have removed for this reason the master-plain branch, which mirrored master and provided a gz free branch, but apparently this was simply ignored so there's no reason to keep it going. If you insist on grabbing all the branches and find more data in there, then please correct your practices, you are only getting the data from the master branch. inxi is rolling release software and has no releases, so the tags are supposed to create some illusion that a tag actually means something. Since it doesn't, I decided to take the path of least resistance and just add an auto tagging tool to my commit scripts and use it when it seems appropriate, like on this commit. All development work now will happen via the pinxi branch, so that makes the process a lot cleaner, since I can now basically beta test all new commmits to master. pinxi and binxi are both standalone versions of inxi, they have their own config and data directories, config files, man pages, etc. ----------------------------------------------------- New Perl inxi is already way ahead of Gawk/Bash inxi, more features, more accurate, and most bugs being fixed now are because a lot of people are contributing eyes and testing, and are finding stuff that was wrong, or simply missing, on old inxi as well as on Perl inxi. Fixes to Perl inxi (>2.9) will not be rolled into to binxi since the entire reason I spent over 4 months on this project was to never have to touch Gawk/Bash inxi again. Most imporant, however, is that the simple fact was, Gawk/Bash inxi has been nearly impossible to work on despite my following rigorous practices in coding, and I simply won't work with that type of stuff anymore. Perl 5.x is a true delight in comparison, and makes adding new features, enhancing others, far easier, or even possible, where it wasn't before. On a technical level, I have tested Perl inxi heavily, and it will run on all Perl 5.x versions back to 5.008, which is the cutoff point. This was not that hard to do, which is why I picked Perl 5.x as the language. This means that you can drop, just as with binxi, Perl inxi onto a 10 year old system, or older, and it will run fine, albeit a touch slowly, but must faster than binxi. ----------------------------------------------------- So far users are really liking the new one, it's usually faster in most cases, the output is cleaner, there's more data, more options, and basically it's gotten the thumbs up from all the testers, and there have been a LOT, who have helped. I want to give a special thanks to the following distros for their exceptional support and testing: 0. the people who hang out on irc.oftc.net #smxi. Very patient, will test things with astounding patience, so thanks to them. Archerseven, iotaka and KittyKatt have been been incredibly helpful when it comes to testing and debugging, and finding corner cases that I would never have found. 1. AntiX: they were the first to beta test pinxi, and found massive numbers of bugs, and stuck with the testing for a long time. They made testing possible for the next wave of testers, my hats off to them, I've always liked them. 2. Manjaro also was very helpful, and found more issues and enhancements. 3. Ubuntu forums users found more, and helped enhance many faetures 4. Mint users have been very helpful, and were the impetus for some nifty new features, ilke switching all color codes off when output is piped or sent to file. They have reminded me of how valuable people's views can be who may not share the same tech world view as you, but are still very talented and observant individuals. 5. Slackware users provided some very thoughtful feedback, which was no surprise but welcome nonetheless, thanks. 6. Same with Debian forums, again, some very useful and constructive ideas and observations, and some very arcane and odd hardware that exposed even more corner case bugs. And several other distros were also helpful, each in their own way. Solus for example now has their package manager added in repos.

Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

issues with downloading.
New version, tarball, man page. New option -! 40 which lets you get gfx information out of X. Default will get data from display :0, but if you append :[display-number] to -! 40, it will use that display instead, for example: inxi -! 40:1 would get information from display 1. Note that most multi-monitor setups use :0 for both monitors, depending on how it's setup. This will also let users see any desktop information based on xrop -root output, but it will depend how it works based on how environmental variables have been set. gnome and kde, which use XDG for primary detection would not work, for example.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

New version, new man. Very new man. Man features new section, configuration options, which lists the main config options users would be likely to use. This should help users who will never check the actual documentation web page realize that there are many internal configuration options available. Many edits in man, more to come I suspect. Bug fixes in inxi: 1. removed a few stray debuggers that were creating debugging output 2. fixed a usb driver bug that would create warning messages from Perl (thanks Manjaro for finding that one) New Option: 1. Added: --indent-min - goes with the user configuration option: INDENT_MIN and allows users to experiment with different indent settings. This is what trips the auto line wrap of line starters. This may be revisited, and this switch will make it easier for users to see for themselves which they prefer, what trip point, etc. This will help determine pre 3.0.0 what the default auto wrap trip point, if any, will be. Added more data to debugger tool, more lsblk, which is going to need a lot more data to solve a new issue with dm/encrypt/lvm, initial $MANPAGE data, to see if anyone actually ever uses that environmental variable. Special thanks to Manjaro for being as far as I know the first to package Perl inxi.

Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

wrapped line starters [like \fBInfo\fR] to non wrapped. If less than \fB80\fR,
New version, new man. Completed man edits. Many small bugs fixed. Enhancements: 1. in some cases, will detect partition table type (GTP,MBR) either with or without root. Uses fast method, which is not available on all systems. 2. Added IPMI sensors tools ipmitool and ipmi-sensors to -s for systems that use IPMI. 3. Finished man page edits and corrections. Thanks Pete. 4. Added doubled word filter for main -NGA lines, only for Card items. 5. Gave more granular uptime output: like: uptime: 23d 5h 34m

no wrapping will occur. Overrides internal default value and user configuration value:
New version, new man. Very new man. Man features new section, configuration options, which lists the main config options users would be likely to use. This should help users who will never check the actual documentation web page realize that there are many internal configuration options available. Many edits in man, more to come I suspect. Bug fixes in inxi: 1. removed a few stray debuggers that were creating debugging output 2. fixed a usb driver bug that would create warning messages from Perl (thanks Manjaro for finding that one) New Option: 1. Added: --indent-min - goes with the user configuration option: INDENT_MIN and allows users to experiment with different indent settings. This is what trips the auto line wrap of line starters. This may be revisited, and this switch will make it easier for users to see for themselves which they prefer, what trip point, etc. This will help determine pre 3.0.0 what the default auto wrap trip point, if any, will be. Added more data to debugger tool, more lsblk, which is going to need a lot more data to solve a new issue with dm/encrypt/lvm, initial $MANPAGE data, to see if anyone actually ever uses that environmental variable. Special thanks to Manjaro for being as far as I know the first to package Perl inxi.

\fBINDENT_MIN=85\fR
New version, new man. Options changes To get rid of some non-intuitive options, I've changed some of the --alt values to more obvious argument names; --dmidecode --no-ssl --no-host --host This makes them easier to remember, hopefully. Updated help, man pages to cover this change as well. Added some more lsblk debugger output to try to start building enough information to really figure out dm/encrypted/lvm and how those are actually handled internally in the system in terms of partitions, filesystems, etc.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

Raise or lower max output limit of IP addresses for \fB\-i\fR. \fB\-1\fR removes limit.
New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

New version, new man. Big update, corrects many small typos, adds some good new features. So now inxi and pinxi will grab the inxi.1 or pinxi.1 man file and install it on systems that do not have -U blocked. The -U block of course remains the same. New features: 1. now does not require root or 'file' to get unmounted fs type. Also, for many mounted partitions, rather than showing the meaningless fuseblock it will usually get the filesystem right. 2. -U now works with optional --man option to download man page for pinxi and -U 3 dev server updates. This gets around the fact I had to remove the gz files from master to get the size small enough to make maintainers happy. Non branch inxi master works as before, updates both from github or from dev server, depending on your selection. 3. Thanks very much to the people who have been contributing in a positve way, helping to make inxi better. The untold number of small and large new features, small glitches, etc, that have been fixed this week are simply too many too list. Many to most were inxi bugs or weaknesses, now corrected. 4. binxi branch has now been made fully operational, though I do not plan on doing any work beyond the mothballing of that venerable program (gawk->bash inxi), it's fully operational, it updates, it gets its man page, but all as binxi, so you can, as with pinxi, run all of them separately. This officially terminates my support for Gawk/Bash inxi, which can be found as binxi in the inxi-legacy branch. 5. pinxi has been promoted to permanent development branch, where bug fixes, new features, etc, will be tested, along with man page updates etc. This will help reduce the number of commits to master branch. 6. Audio / Network usb cards now show the true driver(s). There are often more than one for audio, that's a nice enancement. 7. inxi outputs to json / xml, which will probably interest some developers eventually, well it already did, that was going to wait, but someone wanted it. 8. Apt repo handler now supports DEB822 format, which is not an easy format to parse. ========================================================== MAINTAINERS: Note the following: despite my strong dislike for tags, every commit that touches either inxi or inxi.1 man page will be tagged if I think they would be something relevant to distro packagers. While github insists on calling my tags releases, I want to be crystal clear: inxi has one and only one 'release', the current master branch version. The tagged commits that github calls releases are NOT releases, they are just tagged commits. The version I release tomorrow will be the current master, and all previous versions will be obsolete and will not be supported. The .gz files have been removed from the master branch history, thus shrinking it a lot. I have removed for this reason the master-plain branch, which mirrored master and provided a gz free branch, but apparently this was simply ignored so there's no reason to keep it going. If you insist on grabbing all the branches and find more data in there, then please correct your practices, you are only getting the data from the master branch. inxi is rolling release software and has no releases, so the tags are supposed to create some illusion that a tag actually means something. Since it doesn't, I decided to take the path of least resistance and just add an auto tagging tool to my commit scripts and use it when it seems appropriate, like on this commit. All development work now will happen via the pinxi branch, so that makes the process a lot cleaner, since I can now basically beta test all new commmits to master. pinxi and binxi are both standalone versions of inxi, they have their own config and data directories, config files, man pages, etc. ----------------------------------------------------- New Perl inxi is already way ahead of Gawk/Bash inxi, more features, more accurate, and most bugs being fixed now are because a lot of people are contributing eyes and testing, and are finding stuff that was wrong, or simply missing, on old inxi as well as on Perl inxi. Fixes to Perl inxi (>2.9) will not be rolled into to binxi since the entire reason I spent over 4 months on this project was to never have to touch Gawk/Bash inxi again. Most imporant, however, is that the simple fact was, Gawk/Bash inxi has been nearly impossible to work on despite my following rigorous practices in coding, and I simply won't work with that type of stuff anymore. Perl 5.x is a true delight in comparison, and makes adding new features, enhancing others, far easier, or even possible, where it wasn't before. On a technical level, I have tested Perl inxi heavily, and it will run on all Perl 5.x versions back to 5.008, which is the cutoff point. This was not that hard to do, which is why I picked Perl 5.x as the language. This means that you can drop, just as with binxi, Perl inxi onto a 10 year old system, or older, and it will run fine, albeit a touch slowly, but must faster than binxi. ----------------------------------------------------- So far users are really liking the new one, it's usually faster in most cases, the output is cleaner, there's more data, more options, and basically it's gotten the thumbs up from all the testers, and there have been a LOT, who have helped. I want to give a special thanks to the following distros for their exceptional support and testing: 0. the people who hang out on irc.oftc.net #smxi. Very patient, will test things with astounding patience, so thanks to them. Archerseven, iotaka and KittyKatt have been been incredibly helpful when it comes to testing and debugging, and finding corner cases that I would never have found. 1. AntiX: they were the first to beta test pinxi, and found massive numbers of bugs, and stuck with the testing for a long time. They made testing possible for the next wave of testers, my hats off to them, I've always liked them. 2. Manjaro also was very helpful, and found more issues and enhancements. 3. Ubuntu forums users found more, and helped enhance many faetures 4. Mint users have been very helpful, and were the impetus for some nifty new features, ilke switching all color codes off when output is piped or sent to file. They have reminded me of how valuable people's views can be who may not share the same tech world view as you, but are still very talented and observant individuals. 5. Slackware users provided some very thoughtful feedback, which was no surprise but welcome nonetheless, thanks. 6. Same with Debian forums, again, some very useful and constructive ideas and observations, and some very arcane and odd hardware that exposed even more corner case bugs. And several other distros were also helpful, each in their own way. Solus for example now has their package manager added in repos.

Added filter to cpu data, was not skipping if arm, so Model string was treated numerically. Enhancements: 1. Added rescatux to Debian system base detections. This closes issue #202, again from adrian15, thanks. 2. For cpu architecture, updated for latest AMD ryzen and other families, like Zen 3, which is just coming out re available data. Also latest Intel, which are trickier to ID right now, but I think I got the latest ones right, That's things like coffee lake, amber lake, comet lake, etc. 3. Huge one, full (hopefully out of the box) Russian Elbrus CPU support. Thanks to the alt-linux and the others who helped provide data and feedback to get support. Note that this was also part of correcting 64 bit detection for e2k type, which is how Elbrus IDs internally. See issue #197 which I've left open for the time being for more information on this CPU and how it's now handled by inxi. Note all available data should now work for Elbrus, including physical cpu/core counts etc. Elbrus do not show flag information, nor do they use min/max speed, so that data isn't available, but everything else seems to work well. 4. Eternal disk vendors. Thanks linux lite hardware database, you continue to help make the disk vendor feature work by supplying every known vendor ever seen. 5. To close debian bug report https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=942194 Note that the fix is simply to give the user the option to disable this behavior with the new --no-sudo and NO_SUDO configuration file options. This issue should never have been filed as a bug since even the poster admitted it was a wishlist item, but because of how debian bug tracker works, it's hard to get rid of invalid bugs. Note that this is the internal use of sudo for hddtemp and file, not starting inxi with sudo, so using this option or configuration item just removes sudo from the command. Note that because the user did not do as requested, and never actually filed a github wishlist issue, and since his request was vague and basically pointless, the fix is just to let you switch off sudo, that's all.

.B \-\-no\-sudo\fR
Skips the use of sudo to run certain internal features (like \fBhddtemp\fR, \fBfile\fR)
with sudo. Not related to running inxi itself with sudo or super user. Some systems will
register errors which will then trigger admin emails in such cases, so if you want to disable
regular user use of sudo (which requires configuration to setup anyway for these options)
just use this option, or \fBNO_SUDO\fR configuration item.
Small glitch on man page, that's fixed.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version. Bug fixes, updates. Bugs: 1. Issue #185 exposed a small long standing bug in ram max module size logic. Was not retaining the value each loop iteration, which could lead to way off max module size guesses. Note that this could lead to a VERY wrong max module size report. 2. Issue #185 also exposed a rarely seen undefined value for ram reports, was not tested for undefined, now is. Fixes: 1. cleanup of comments in start client debugger that made it unclear. 2. Got rid of all the legacy development modules that were in inxi-perl/modules. These were totally out of date and pointless to retain. Enhancements: 1. Added eoan ubuntu 19-10 release name 2. Added zen cpu model ID. 3. Disk vendors and new vendor IDs added. Thanks linuxlite hardware database. 4. Made a backend tool to check for new unhandled disks, this makes updating disk/vendor IDs a lot easier. 5. Updated inxi-perl/docs with new links etc.

Change data output type. Requires \-\-output\-file if not \fBscreen\fR.
New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.
2018-04-06 22:52:08 +00:00
New version, new man. Big update, corrects many small typos, adds some good new features. So now inxi and pinxi will grab the inxi.1 or pinxi.1 man file and install it on systems that do not have -U blocked. The -U block of course remains the same. New features: 1. now does not require root or 'file' to get unmounted fs type. Also, for many mounted partitions, rather than showing the meaningless fuseblock it will usually get the filesystem right. 2. -U now works with optional --man option to download man page for pinxi and -U 3 dev server updates. This gets around the fact I had to remove the gz files from master to get the size small enough to make maintainers happy. Non branch inxi master works as before, updates both from github or from dev server, depending on your selection. 3. Thanks very much to the people who have been contributing in a positve way, helping to make inxi better. The untold number of small and large new features, small glitches, etc, that have been fixed this week are simply too many too list. Many to most were inxi bugs or weaknesses, now corrected. 4. binxi branch has now been made fully operational, though I do not plan on doing any work beyond the mothballing of that venerable program (gawk->bash inxi), it's fully operational, it updates, it gets its man page, but all as binxi, so you can, as with pinxi, run all of them separately. This officially terminates my support for Gawk/Bash inxi, which can be found as binxi in the inxi-legacy branch. 5. pinxi has been promoted to permanent development branch, where bug fixes, new features, etc, will be tested, along with man page updates etc. This will help reduce the number of commits to master branch. 6. Audio / Network usb cards now show the true driver(s). There are often more than one for audio, that's a nice enancement. 7. inxi outputs to json / xml, which will probably interest some developers eventually, well it already did, that was going to wait, but someone wanted it. 8. Apt repo handler now supports DEB822 format, which is not an easy format to parse. ========================================================== MAINTAINERS: Note the following: despite my strong dislike for tags, every commit that touches either inxi or inxi.1 man page will be tagged if I think they would be something relevant to distro packagers. While github insists on calling my tags releases, I want to be crystal clear: inxi has one and only one 'release', the current master branch version. The tagged commits that github calls releases are NOT releases, they are just tagged commits. The version I release tomorrow will be the current master, and all previous versions will be obsolete and will not be supported. The .gz files have been removed from the master branch history, thus shrinking it a lot. I have removed for this reason the master-plain branch, which mirrored master and provided a gz free branch, but apparently this was simply ignored so there's no reason to keep it going. If you insist on grabbing all the branches and find more data in there, then please correct your practices, you are only getting the data from the master branch. inxi is rolling release software and has no releases, so the tags are supposed to create some illusion that a tag actually means something. Since it doesn't, I decided to take the path of least resistance and just add an auto tagging tool to my commit scripts and use it when it seems appropriate, like on this commit. All development work now will happen via the pinxi branch, so that makes the process a lot cleaner, since I can now basically beta test all new commmits to master. pinxi and binxi are both standalone versions of inxi, they have their own config and data directories, config files, man pages, etc. ----------------------------------------------------- New Perl inxi is already way ahead of Gawk/Bash inxi, more features, more accurate, and most bugs being fixed now are because a lot of people are contributing eyes and testing, and are finding stuff that was wrong, or simply missing, on old inxi as well as on Perl inxi. Fixes to Perl inxi (>2.9) will not be rolled into to binxi since the entire reason I spent over 4 months on this project was to never have to touch Gawk/Bash inxi again. Most imporant, however, is that the simple fact was, Gawk/Bash inxi has been nearly impossible to work on despite my following rigorous practices in coding, and I simply won't work with that type of stuff anymore. Perl 5.x is a true delight in comparison, and makes adding new features, enhancing others, far easier, or even possible, where it wasn't before. On a technical level, I have tested Perl inxi heavily, and it will run on all Perl 5.x versions back to 5.008, which is the cutoff point. This was not that hard to do, which is why I picked Perl 5.x as the language. This means that you can drop, just as with binxi, Perl inxi onto a 10 year old system, or older, and it will run fine, albeit a touch slowly, but must faster than binxi. ----------------------------------------------------- So far users are really liking the new one, it's usually faster in most cases, the output is cleaner, there's more data, more options, and basically it's gotten the thumbs up from all the testers, and there have been a LOT, who have helped. I want to give a special thanks to the following distros for their exceptional support and testing: 0. the people who hang out on irc.oftc.net #smxi. Very patient, will test things with astounding patience, so thanks to them. Archerseven, iotaka and KittyKatt have been been incredibly helpful when it comes to testing and debugging, and finding corner cases that I would never have found. 1. AntiX: they were the first to beta test pinxi, and found massive numbers of bugs, and stuck with the testing for a long time. They made testing possible for the next wave of testers, my hats off to them, I've always liked them. 2. Manjaro also was very helpful, and found more issues and enhancements. 3. Ubuntu forums users found more, and helped enhance many faetures 4. Mint users have been very helpful, and were the impetus for some nifty new features, ilke switching all color codes off when output is piped or sent to file. They have reminded me of how valuable people's views can be who may not share the same tech world view as you, but are still very talented and observant individuals. 5. Slackware users provided some very thoughtful feedback, which was no surprise but welcome nonetheless, thanks. 6. Same with Debian forums, again, some very useful and constructive ideas and observations, and some very arcane and odd hardware that exposed even more corner case bugs. And several other distros were also helpful, each in their own way. Solus for example now has their package manager added in repos.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

New version, new man. Huge set of changes. Excitement!! Thrills! Spills? Bugs: 1. There was a missing main::is_int test that in some instances triggered error. This is corrected. 2. More of a fix, but legacy devices were not matching NIC to IF because the /sys path was not a link as it is now. I made a separate function to handle that match test so it could be more readily be worked with. Fixes: 1. Arch/Manjaro presented yet another Xorg.wrapper path, this time /usr/lib. Why? who knows. That to me is a bug, but since if it's not handled in inxi, it makes it look like inxi has a server: -G bug, I worked around it. Again. This creates the bug when you do not use the actual true path of Xorg where Xorg.wrapper complains and will not show -version data. Why move this? why use that wrapper thing? I don't know, makes no sense to me. 2. More MIPS data, thanks manjaro ARM people. This made MIPS much better, though it will certainly need more work. 3. Better ARM support, added in devicetree strings, which helps pad out the Devices IDs, albeit with very little data, but at least the devices are detected. Thanks Manjaro ARM people there again. 4. Removed Upstart init test for arm/mips/sparc devices. This test made MIPS device totally puke and die, killed networking, so since very few upstart running systems will be arm/mips devices, I decided there better safe than sorry. 5. Found another uptime syntax case, MIPS as root does not have the users item. 6. Many tweaks to SOC data generators, will catch more categories, but the lists will never be done since each device can be, and often is, random re the syntax. 7. USB networking failed to test usb type for 'network', which led to failed ids on some device strings. SOC types are now filtered through a function to create consistent device type strings for the per device tool to use to assign each to its proper @device_<type> array. 8. For pciconf/FreeBSD, cleaned up device class strings to get rid of 0x and trailing subsubclass values, this converts it into the same hex 4 item string that is used by GNU/Linux/lspci so I can apply consistent rules to all pci types, no matter what the generator source is, lspci, pcidump, pciconf, and eventually pcictl if I can get netbsd running. 9. Fixed internal --dbg counts for various features, and updated docs for that. 10. Fixed ARM / MIPS missing data messages, they were redundant. 11. Ongoing, moving excessive source comments to inxi-values.txt and inxi-data.txt. 12. Added unity-system-compositor as mir detection, who knew? I guess that was its production application name all along? Oh well. Enhancements: 1. Added basic support for OpenIndiana/Solaris/SunOS as a bsd type. Just enough to make errors not happen.-repos 2. future proofed unix/bsd detections just to avoid the unset $bsd_type of non BSD unix. 3. Added S6 init system to init tool. 4. Added OpenBSD pcidump to new DeviceData feature. Includes now <root required> message on Device-x: lines if not root. All working. 5. Fully refactored the old pci stuff to DeviceData package/class, due to adding so many types to that, it made sense to make it a single class. 6. Did the same to USBData, because of lsusb, usbdevs, and /sys usb, made sense to integrate the data grabber into one package/class 7. Added speed: item to USB:, it shows in Mb/s or Gb/s 8. Added Odroid C1/C2 handling, which is one big reason I opted to refactor the devices data logic into DeviceData. 9. Added ash shell, not sure if that detection will work, but if it does, it will show. 10. As part of the overall DeviceData refactor, I moved all per type data into dedicated arrays, like @device_graphics, @device_audio, @device_network, etc, which lets me totally dump all the per device item tests, and just check the arrays, which have already been tested for on the construction of the primary DeviceData set. Moved all per type detections into DeviceData so that is now one complete logic block, and the per type data generators don't need to know about any of that logic at all anymore. 11. Added sway, swaybar, way-cooler as window managers, info items. Not 100% positive about the --version, their docs weren't very consistent, but I think the guess should be right if their docs weren't incorrect. 12. Added vendor: item to network, not sure why I kept that off when I added vendor: to audio and graphics. It made sense at the time, but not now, so now -GNA all have vendor: if detected. 13. More device vendors!! The list never ends. Thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database, somehow you have users that manage to use every obscure usb/ssd/hdd known to humanity. 14. Big update to --admin, now has the following: A: partitions: shows 'raw size: ' of partition, this lets users see the amount of file system overhead, along with the available size as usual. B: partitions: show percent of raw in size: C: partitions: show if root, block size of partition file system. Uses blockdev --getbsz <part> D: partition: swap: show swappiness and vfs cache pressure, with (default) or (default <default value) added. This apparently can help debugging some kernel issues etc. Whatever, I'll take someone's word for that. E: Disks: show block size: logical: physical: 15. New option and configuration item: --partition-sort / PARTITION_SORT This lets users change default mount point sort order to any available ordering in the partition item. Man page and help menu show options. 16. Going along with the MIPS fixes, added basic support for OpenWRT, which uses an immensely stripped down busybox (no ps aux, for example), maybe because it only runs as root user/ not sure, anyway, took many fixes. Changes: 1. Changed usb: 1.1 to rev: 1.1 because for linux, we have the USB revision number, like 3.1. Note that this is going to be wrong for BSDs, but that's fine. 2. Changed slightly the output of Memory item, now it follows the following rules: A: if -m/--memory is triggered (> -v4, or -m) Memory line always shows in Memory: item, which makes sense. Note that -m overrides all other options of where Memory minireport could be located. B: if -tm is triggered, and -I is not triggered, Memory shows in in -tm C: if -I is triggered, and -m is not triggered, Memory: shows in -I line. D: no change in short form inxi no arg output, Memory is there.

New version, new man, new feature!! Bug fixes! Bugs: 1. issue #182 - in freebsd, there was an oversight in the pciconf parser, it was using unfiltered strings as regex pattern, and of course, a string flipped an error. Fix was to add the regex cleaner to the string before it's used in test. 2. NOTE: issue #182 had a second bug, but the issue poster didn't follow up with data or output so it couldn't be fixed. This was related to a syntax change in usbdevs -v output in FreeBSD. Such changes are too common, but it might also simply be a variant I have not seen or handled, but so far no data, so can't fix. Don't blame me if you get this bug, but do post requested debugger data if you want it fixed! Fixes: 1. Updated man for weather, explained more clearly how to use country codes for weather output. More clarifying in general about weather location, and weather restrictions. Enhancements: 1. Added avx/avx2 to default flag list in -C short form. Thanks damentz from liquorix for clarifying why that was a good idea. Note the initial issue came up in a Debian issue report, not here. People!! please post issues here, and don't bug maintainers with feature requests! Maintainers aren't in a position to add a feature, so you should go straight to the source. 1.a. Created in inxi-perl/docs new doc file: cpu-flags.txt, which explains all the flags, and also covers the short form flags and explains why they are used. 2. To resolve another issue, I made a new documentation file: inxi-perl/docs/inxi-custom-recommends.txt This is instructions for maintainers of distros who do not use rpm/apt/pacman but still want the --recommends feature to output their package pool package names for missing packages. I decided to not allow more than the default 3 package managers because no matter what people say, if I allow in more, the maintainer will vanish or lose interest, and I'll be stuck having to maintain their package lists forever. Also, it's silly to even include that package list for any distro that does not use rpm/apt/pacman, since the list is just wasted lines. Instructions in doc file show what to change, and how, and has an example to make it clear. Odds of this actually being used? Not high, lol, but that's fine, if people want it done, they can do it, if not, nothing bad happens, it just won't show any suggested install package, no big deal. 3. Using the new disk vendor method, added even more disk vendors. Thanks linux litet hardware database!! 4. EXCITING!! A new --admin/-a option, suggested by a user on techpatterns.com/forums/ Now -S or -b or -F with -a option for GNU/Linux shows the kernel boot parameters, from /proc/cmdline. Didn't find anything comparable for BSDs, if you can tell me where to look, I'll add it for those too, but wasn't anywhere I looked. Do the BSDs even use that method? Don't know, but the logic is there, waiting to be used if someone shows me how to get it cleanly. The 'parameters:' item shows in the main 'System:' -S output, and will just show the entire kernel parameters used to boot. This could be very helpful to distros who often have to determine if for example graphics blacklists are correctly applied for non free drivers, like nomodeset etc, or if the opposite is present. For forum/distro support, they just have to ask for: inxi -ba and they will see t the relevant graphics info, for instance, or -SGaxxx, or -Faxxx, whatever is used to trigger in this case the graphics and system lines. 5. Updated man/help for 4 as well, now explains what they will see with --admin/ -a options and -S. Good user suggestion, I wish all new features were this easy, heh.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

.B \-\-sleep [0\-x.x]\fR
New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

\fBinxi \-Cxxx \-\-sleep 0.15\fR
New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

New version, new man. Completed man edits. Many small bugs fixed. Enhancements: 1. in some cases, will detect partition table type (GTP,MBR) either with or without root. Uses fast method, which is not available on all systems. 2. Added IPMI sensors tools ipmitool and ipmi-sensors to -s for systems that use IPMI. 3. Finished man page edits and corrections. Thanks Pete. 4. Added doubled word filter for main -NGA lines, only for Card items. 5. Gave more granular uptime output: like: uptime: 23d 5h 34m

Overrides default internal value and user configuration value:
New version, new man. Very new man. Man features new section, configuration options, which lists the main config options users would be likely to use. This should help users who will never check the actual documentation web page realize that there are many internal configuration options available. Many edits in man, more to come I suspect. Bug fixes in inxi: 1. removed a few stray debuggers that were creating debugging output 2. fixed a usb driver bug that would create warning messages from Perl (thanks Manjaro for finding that one) New Option: 1. Added: --indent-min - goes with the user configuration option: INDENT_MIN and allows users to experiment with different indent settings. This is what trips the auto line wrap of line starters. This may be revisited, and this switch will make it easier for users to see for themselves which they prefer, what trip point, etc. This will help determine pre 3.0.0 what the default auto wrap trip point, if any, will be. Added more data to debugger tool, more lsblk, which is going to need a lot more data to solve a new issue with dm/encrypt/lvm, initial $MANPAGE data, to see if anyone actually ever uses that environmental variable. Special thanks to Manjaro for being as far as I know the first to package Perl inxi.

Removed null data message 'old system' since that's not always the case. 2. Added support for > 1 CPU speeds in systems with > 1 CPU. 3. Added is_numeric test for sudo version tests, that was tripping errors in rare cases. 4. Fine tuned terminal size setting to check that is int to correct the Ansible problem. 5. ARM Pinebook fixes, battery, cpu. This also fixes corner cases where the battery charge state is missing but it is a systme battery. Enhancments: 1. Added more disk ID matches/vendors.

.B \-\-tty\fR
New version, new man page. Bugs: 1. Both a fix and a bug, in that inxi had an out of date list of Xorg drivers. This led to all the newer Intel devices failing to show their drivers in the Xorg driver lines, like i915, i965, and so on. Updated to full current list of Xorg drivers. This is not technically a bug since it's simply things that came into existence after that logic was last updated. But it looks like a bug. Fixes: 1. Issues #170 and #168 showed a problem with inxi believing it was running in IRC when Ansible or MOTD started inxi. This is because they are not tty so trip the non tty flag, which assumes it's in IRC in that case. The fix was to add a whitelist of known clients based on the parent name inxi discovers while running inside that parent. MOTD confirmed fixed, Ansible not confirmed. Why do people file issue reports then not follow them? Who knows. Note that this issue is easy to trip by simply doing this: echo 'fred' | inxi which disables the tty test as well. To handle that scenario, that is, when inxi is not first in the pipe, I added many known terminal client names to the whitelists. This works in my tests, though the possible terminals, or programs with embedded terminals, is quite large, but inxi handles most of them automatically. When it doesn't, file an issue and I'll add your client ID to the whitelist, and use --tty in the meantime. 2. Issue #171 by Vascom finally pinned down the wide character issue which manifests in some character sets, like greek or russian utf8. The fix was more of a work-around than a true fix, but inxi now simply checks the weather local time output for wide characters, and if detected, switches the local date/time format to iso standard, which is does not contain non ascii characters as far as I can tell. This seemed to fix the issue. 3. Added iso9660 from excluded file systems for partitions, not sure how inxi missed that one for so long. 4. See bug 1, expanded and made current supported intel drivers, and a few other drivers, so now inxi has all the supported xorg drivers again. Updated docs as well to indicate where to get that data. Enhancements: 1. As usual, more disk vendor/product ID matches, thanks to linuxlite hardware database, which never stops providing new or previously unseen disk ids. Latest favorite? Swissarmy knife maker victorinox Swissflash usb device. 2. Added Elive system base ID. 3. Added Nutyx CARDS repo type.

Forces internal IRC flag to off. Used in unhandled cases where the program running
inxi may not be seen as a shell/tty, but it is not an IRC client. Put \fB\-\-tty\fR
first in option list to avoid unexpected errors. If you want a specific
output width, use the \fB\-\-width\fR option. If you want normal color codes in
the output, use the \fB\-c [color ID]\fR flag.
The sign you need to use this is extra numbers before the key/value pairs of the
output of your program. These are IRC, not TTY, color codes. Please post a github
issue if you find you need to use \fB\-\-tty\fR (including the full
\fB\-Ixxx\fR line) so we can figure out how to add your program to the list
of whitelisted programs.
You can see what inxi believed started it in the \fB\-Ixxx\fR line, \fBShell:\fR or
\fBClient:\fR item. Please let us know what that result was so we can add it to the
parent start program whitelist.

2018-11-30 05:23:15 +00:00
New version, man page. Big set of changes. Full USB refactor, plus added features. Bugs: 1. A result of the issue #156 USB refactor, I discovered that the --usb sort order, which was based on Bus+DeviceID, in fact is wrong, pure and simple. This was exposed by using a second USB hub on a bus, the Device IDs are not really related in any clearly logical way to the actual position on the bus. The solution was to fully refactor the entire USB logic and then use generated alpha sorters based on the full bus-port[.port] ID. Device ID is now printed last in the ID string, like so: 1-4:1. Note that Device IDs start at 1 for each bus, regardless of how many hubs you have attached to that port. 2. Certain situations triggered a bug in Optical devices, I'd forgotten to change $_ to $key in two places. Since that part didn't normally get triggered, I'd never noticed that bug before. Thanks TinyCore for exposing that glitch! Fixes: 1. On legacy systems, fluxbox --version does not work, -v does. Corrected. 2. for --usb, network devices should now show the correct 'type: Network'. For some weird reason, the people who made the usb types didn't seem to consider many key devices, scanners, wifi/ethernet adapters, and those are almost always "Vendor defined class". 3. A really big fix, for instances where system is using only Busybox, like TinyCore, or booting into any system running busybox for whatever reason, now avoids the various errors when using busybox ps, which only for example outputs 3, not 11, default columns for ps aux, and which does not support ps -j, which is used in the start/shell client information. This gets rid of a huge spray of errors, and actually allows for pretty complete output from systems that only have busybox tools installed. This should cover everything from TinyCore to MIPS to ARM systems that run minimalist Linux. Note that this fix goes along with the /sys based USB parser, since such systems may have USB, but are unlikely to have lsusb installed, but do have /sys USB data. 4. In some cases, strings /sbin/init would trigger a false version result, fixed that logic so now it rarely will do that. Enhancements: 1. Added Mosksha desktop, that's a Bodhi fork of Enlightenment E17; added qtile window manager (no version info). 2. Added Bodhi detection; Salix + base slackware; kde neon system base; 3. Added support for slaptget repos, basic, it may not be perfecct. 4. More disk vendors, and matches for existing vendors. 5. Full rewrite of USB data, in --usb, -A, and -N, along with core usb data engines. This makes lsusb optional, though recommended (because it has a better vendor/ product ID to string internal database) than /sys data. This was in response to a second set of issues in #156 by gm10, USB drivers. Depending on the system, using only /sys data, while slightly less informative, is between 20 and 2000 milliseconds faster, so if you want speed, either use the new --usb-sys option, or the configuration file USB_SYS=[true|false] option. 1. switched to cleaner more efficient data structures 2. added ports count to hub report, linux and bsd. 3. added [--usb|-A|-N] -xxx serial for Device items, if present. 4. added --usb -xx drivers, per interface, can be 1 or more drivers. 5. fully refactored -A and -N usb device logic, far cleaner and simple now, much easier to work with, no more hacks to find things and match them. 6. USB type: now comes from /sys, and is in general going to be more accurate than the lsusb -v based method, which was always an ugly and incomplete hack. As with drivers, it also now lists all the interface types found per device, not just the first one as with the previous method. Note that HID means the more verbose: Human Interface Device, but I shortened it. Now that the type: data is created by inxi reading the class/subclass/protocal IDs, and then figuring out what to do itself, I can have quite a bit more flexibility in terms of how type is generated. 7. added --usb -xxx interfaces: [count] for devices, which lists the device interface count. This can be useful to determine if say, a usb/keyboard adapter is a 2 interface device. Note that Audio devices generally have many interfaces, since they do more than 1 thing (audio output, microphone input, etc.). 8. Support for user configuration file item: USB_SYS=[true|false]. This is useful if you want to see only the /sys version of the data, or if you want the significant speed boost not using lsusb offers, particularly on older systems with a complex USB setup, many buses, many devices, etc. New option --usb-tool overrides USB_SYS value, and forces lsusb use. 9. New options: --usb-sys - forces all usb items to use /sys data, and skip lsusb. Note that you still have to use the feature options, like --usb, -A, or -N. This can lead to a significant improvement in execution time for inxi. 10. Rather than the previous bus:device ID string, to go along with the internal sorting strings used, inxi now shows the real Bus / port /port ids, like: 1-3.2.1:3 - Bus-Port[.port]:device id. 6. Added support for Xvesa display server. Thanks for exposing that one, TinyCore! 7. Added tce package manager to repos. That's the tinycore package manager. Changes: 1. big one, after 10 plus years, the venerable 'Card-x:' for -A,-N, and -G has been replaced by the more neutral 'Device-x:'. This was a suggestion by gm10 from Mint in issue #156 This makes sense because for a long time, most of these devices are not cards, they are SOC, motherboard builtin, USB devices, etc, so the one thing they all are are some form of a device, and the one thing that they are all not is a Card. Along with the recent change from HDD: to Local Storage in Disks: this brings inxi terminology out of the ancient times and into the present. Thanks for the nudge gm10. Removed: See inxi-perl/docs/inxi-fragments.txt for removed blocks. 1. Entire parser for lsusb -v, now it all runs either usbdevs or lsusb, and if Linux and not lsusb, it will use /sys exclusively, otherwise it uses /sys data to complete the lsusb vendor/product strings. 2. Two functions that were used by -A and -N to match usb devices and get their /sys data, that became redundant since it all now goes through the /sys parser already, so those features can get the data pre-parsed from the @usb arrays.

New version, new man page. Big update! Get it in before your freeze!! Bugs: 1. Maybe the vendor/product regex, which when + was used, would put out errors. 2. Maybe Fix 4, since that could lead to incorrect behavior when sudo is involved depending on sudo configuration. 3. BIG: current inxi weather will probably fail if not updated to this or newer versions!! Not an inxi bug per se, but your users will see it as one. Fixes: 1. Fixed Patriot disk ID. 2. Fixes for PPC board handling. 3. Regex cleaner fixes, this could lead to error in special cases of product vendor names. 4. crazy from frugalware pointed out that $b_root detection was flawed, and relied on a bad assumption, particularly for sudo. As usual, he's right, that is now corrected, and uses $< Perl native to determine UID. Enhancements: 1. Added septor to Debian system base. 2. Removed quiet filters for downloaders when using --dbg 1, now you see the entire download action for curl/wget downloads. This went along with issue # 174 3. New feature: --wan-ip-url. This closed issue #174. Also has user config option: WAN_IP_URL as well to make changes permanent. 4. Added --dbg 1 to man and help. The other --dbg options are random and can change, but --dbg 1 is always for downloading, so might as well tell people about it. 5. To anticipate the loss of a major weather API, inxi is redone to use smxi.org based robust API. This also allows for a new switch, --weather-source (or --ws for shorter version), options 0-9, which will trigger different APIs on smxi.org. Added WEATHER_SOURCE configuration option as well. Note that 4-9 are not currently active. Also added in better error handling for weather. The main benefit here is that inxi is now largely agnostic to the weather APIs used, and those can be changed with no impact to inxi users who are running frozen pool inxi's, or who have not updated their inxi versions. NOTE: all inxi versions older than 3.0.31 will probably fail for weather quite soon. So update your inxi version in your repos!! 6. More disk vendors IDs and matches. Thanks linuxlite hardware database. 7. Going along with weather changes, added, if present, cloud cover, rain, and snow reports. Those are for previously observed hour. 8. Small change to Intel CPU architecture, taking a guess on stepping for skylake/Cascade lake ID. Guessing if stepping is > 4, it's cascade lake. But could not find this documented, so it's a guess. At worst, it means that Cascade lake, which must be a later steppingi than 4, will not be ID'ed as skylake. 9. Documentation updates for data sources. Changes: 1. inxi now uses a new system to get weather data. There is no longer a risk of weather failing if the API used locally in inxi fails or goes away. This change should be largely invisible to casual users. 2. In weather, moved dewpoint to be after humidity, which makes a little more sense.

New version, new man. Several bug fixes, enhancements, options. Bugs: 1. In some cases, -S Desktop showed xfce when it wasn't xfce. This should be largely corrected now. 2. Big bug: using lxqt-about for lxqt --version, now opens a dialog box, gui, so removed that, and now checking lxqt-session for version info instead. Fixes: 1. Now calling hitachi hgst drives vendor: HGST (Hitachi) to differentiate between regular Hitachi and HGST hitachi. Added a few more disk vendors. 2. Distro base and core: added linuxlite, elementary. Some distros use: /etc/upstream-release/lsb-release so testing for that and os-release now too. 3. Extended qt detections, may catch a few stray ones now in non kde qt desktops. 4. Complete refactor of desktop, desktop info, wm, and -G compositor, now much easier to extend each feature and add detections, move order around, etc. Also moved wm to -Sxx now that I use fallback ps aux tests, which were themselves also totally refactored and optimized. Fixed WindowMaker id, which is made more annoying because they are the only upper/lower case program name, but in at least debian, the actual program name is wmaker internally. Also tightened in particular gnome-shell, which was failing to show due to too restrictive filtering of desktop/vm repeats. Most wm do not contain the desktop name in the string, gnome-shell does, only one I'm aware of. 5. Removed N/A from wmctrl output, which just means null, which is what we want. 6. Removed gnome-shell from info: since it will now appear in wm: if found. Added a few -panel items to info: Enhancements: 1. Showing type: network bridge for -N when it's type 0680, which is an odd pci type, generally it's a network bridge, but I figured it's best to show that explicitly to avoid confusion. This extends the 'type:' from just USB. 2. Added more window managers to wm, matchbox, flwm, fvwm2 (used to just use fvwm, this was wrong, it's its own thing), a few others. 3. Added a few more compositors to -Gxx. kwin_x11 should be the most noticeable, but added some more obscure ones too. This feature requires more work. 4. Extended ARM syntax to support a new one, path to /sys/device... has an extra /soc/ in it, that is now handled, all are tested for. Confirmed working. Note that ARM has to be confirmed fixed on a device by device basis, since there are key syntax differences in the paths, but it will get easier the more variants that are discovered. Added another trimmer to cut off \x00|01|02|03 special non printing characters which show as weird jibbberish in output, for model/serial number. 5. Refactored wm, info, desktop, compositor, now all use @ps_gui, which is all that is tested against, not the entire ps_cmd array.

Added marco, muffin fixes. Was showing wm: Metacity (Marco) that is not correct, now shows marco, which then allows to get version too. 5. -Sxxx now shows wm: version as well, which can be of use now and then. 6. --wm added to trip force using of ps data for wm, this can be useful because I don't know all variants of wmctrl output, so that makes it easier to test. 7. Added finally support for --debug 3, which now shows timers, functions, and args printed to screen. 8. Added qmake --version to fallback qt detection.

New version, new man. Changes, bug fixes, enhancements! Don't delay! Bugs: 1. A real bug, the detection for true path of /dev/root had a mistake in it and would only have worked in half the cases. This was an easy fix, but a significant but since it also would lead to the actual root / partition showing in Unmounted. 2. Related to the item Fixes-2, if two USB networking devices were attached, the second one's bus and chip ID would go on the wrong line of data if -n or -i option were used. Since that would be the line belonging to the one above, that obviously was weird and wrong. 3. NEW: latest kernel can show hwmon data in sensors, for example from wifi chip. This broke CPU temp detection and showed way too high cpu temp, so this fix is fairly important since new kernels may have this new sensors hwmon syntax. 4. Sensors: IPMI alternate syntax found, also case with no data in expected columns, just N/A, so now the ipmi sensor logic skips all lines with non numeric values in the values column. This is what it should have done all along, it was trusting that values would always exist for the field names it looks for. Fixes: 1. ARM networking fix. ARM devices like rasberry pi that use usb bus for networking showed the no data message even though usb networking was right below it. This is corrected, and now that only shows if both main and usb networking failed for ARM. 2. Big repo fix: while testing distro and Trinity live cds, I discovered that apt is sometimes used with rpms, which made PCLinuxOS and ALT-Linux Repos item show the apt files but no data since the pattern was looking for start with deb. Added rpm to pattern, so all distros that use apt running rpms should now 'just work'. 3. Fixed more distro id things, PCLinuxOS should now show its full distro string. 4. Debugger: Filtered out more blocks of /proc, that data is bloated and messy, found another case where it collected a vast amount of junk system data from zfs in that case, just blocked the entire range. I had no idea /proc had so much junk data in it! 5. As noted above, IPMI, yet another alternate syntax for field names. My hope that IPMI software and sensors will be more logical and consistent than lm-sensors output is proving to be merely wishful thinking, I think now out of 3 datasets I've gotten, I've seen 3 variants for syntax, not to mention the ipmi-tool vs ipmi-sensors differences. So IPMI will be like all sensors stuff, a work in progress, to be updated with every newly discovered alternate syntax and data set. Enhancements: 1. Disk vendors, added some, improved pattern detections for others. This feature is getting better all the time. Thanks linuxlite hw db, easy to scan for missing vendors in their inxi data. 2. Added more wm, budgie-wm, mwm, variants of kwin and Trinity's Twin, several others, more refactoring of core wm/desktop code. 3. Added gpu ram and reworked memory logic for rasberry pi, which is the only SBC I am aware of that uses that tool. Now reports the actual total, and also gpu: for ram data, so you can tell that the gpu is using part of the total. Again, this comes from issue #153. Also added that info to man page for -I part. 4. Added more ARM and PCI cleaners for neater and more concise ARM/PCI output. 5. Added Trinity support to Desktop section, this had at least two different detection methods, but since the first just shows KDE original data, only the second one proved to be Trinity specific. Happily, the full data is available, toolkit, desktop version, and wm (Twin). 6. New -G,-A,-R -xxx feature: vendor:. Note that vendor data is very bloated and messy so it's trimmed down substantially, using a series of filters and rules, and thus it can contain the following: the actual vendor, like Dell, nothing, the motherboard vendor/product for board based PCI items, or a complete vendor/product string if it's unique. I couldn't think of a clean field name that meant: vendor OR vendor + basic product info OR motherboard + board version OR full product name, including vendor, so in the end, I just used vendor: but it's not quite the right term, but nothing else seemed to work better. Testers responded very enthusiastically about this feature so I guess the vendor: name is ok. Changes: 1. Biggest change: Drives: HDD: total: the HDD: is now changed to: Local Storage: This was part of issue #153 and is a good suggestion because HDD generally was used to refer to hard disks, spinning, but with nvme, m.2, ssd, etc, that term is a bit dated. 'Local' is because inxi does not include detected remote storage in the totals. 2. The recent --wm option which forced ps as data source for window manager detection has been reversed, now --wm forces wmctrl and ps aux is preferred. Still falls back to wm ctrl in case the ps test is null, this is better because I have to add the wm data manually for each one, whereas wmctrl has an unknown set and probably variable set of wm. Note that I reversed this because I saw several cases where wmctrl was wrong, and reported a generic source wm instead of the real one. Since most uses are not going to even be aware of the wm: feature as enhanced with --wm switch, this should have no impact on users in general. Since the detected wm name needs to be know to get assigned to wm: and wm version data, I think it will work better to have the known variants match with the wm data values, then just fallback to unknown ones that can get fille in over time as we find wm that people actually use and that you can get version info on and detect. Removed: 1. Got rid of tests for GTK compiled with version for many desktops, that test was always wrong because it did not have any necessary relation to the actual gtk version the desktop was built out of, and it also almost always returned no data. Since this is an expensive and slow test, and is always going to be wrong or empty anyway, I've removed it. My tests showed it taking about 300ms or so to generate no data, heh. That's the tk: feature in -S. Note I also found that gnome-shell takes an absurdly long time to give --version info, the slowest of all such things, 300ms again, just to show version? Someone should fix that, there's no possible reason why it should take 300 milliseconds to give a simple version string. Note that this returns tk: to only returning real data, which in this case means only xfce, kde, and trinity, which are the only desktops that actually report their toolkit data. I'll probably remove that code in the future unless I can think of some real use for gtk version elsewhere, but it's just junk data which doesn't even work. In the future, I will not try to emulate or guess at desktop toolkits, either they show the data in a direct form like XFCE or Trinity or KDE do, or I won't waste resources and execution time making bad guesses using inefficient code and logic. QT desktops like LXQt I'm leaving in because I believe those will tend to track more closely the QT version on the system, and the tests for QT version aren't huge ugly hacks the way they are for GTK, so they aren't as slow or intrusive, but those may also get removed since they almost never work either. But they are also slowing down the -Sx process so maybe they should be removed as well, I'll think about it. Since they only are used on LXQt and razer-qt, it probably isn't a big deal overall.

Force \fBSystem\fR item \fBwm\fR to use \fBwmctrl\fR as data source,
override default \fBps\fR source.
New version, new man. Several bug fixes, enhancements, options. Bugs: 1. In some cases, -S Desktop showed xfce when it wasn't xfce. This should be largely corrected now. 2. Big bug: using lxqt-about for lxqt --version, now opens a dialog box, gui, so removed that, and now checking lxqt-session for version info instead. Fixes: 1. Now calling hitachi hgst drives vendor: HGST (Hitachi) to differentiate between regular Hitachi and HGST hitachi. Added a few more disk vendors. 2. Distro base and core: added linuxlite, elementary. Some distros use: /etc/upstream-release/lsb-release so testing for that and os-release now too. 3. Extended qt detections, may catch a few stray ones now in non kde qt desktops. 4. Complete refactor of desktop, desktop info, wm, and -G compositor, now much easier to extend each feature and add detections, move order around, etc. Also moved wm to -Sxx now that I use fallback ps aux tests, which were themselves also totally refactored and optimized. Fixed WindowMaker id, which is made more annoying because they are the only upper/lower case program name, but in at least debian, the actual program name is wmaker internally. Also tightened in particular gnome-shell, which was failing to show due to too restrictive filtering of desktop/vm repeats. Most wm do not contain the desktop name in the string, gnome-shell does, only one I'm aware of. 5. Removed N/A from wmctrl output, which just means null, which is what we want. 6. Removed gnome-shell from info: since it will now appear in wm: if found. Added a few -panel items to info: Enhancements: 1. Showing type: network bridge for -N when it's type 0680, which is an odd pci type, generally it's a network bridge, but I figured it's best to show that explicitly to avoid confusion. This extends the 'type:' from just USB. 2. Added more window managers to wm, matchbox, flwm, fvwm2 (used to just use fvwm, this was wrong, it's its own thing), a few others. 3. Added a few more compositors to -Gxx. kwin_x11 should be the most noticeable, but added some more obscure ones too. This feature requires more work. 4. Extended ARM syntax to support a new one, path to /sys/device... has an extra /soc/ in it, that is now handled, all are tested for. Confirmed working. Note that ARM has to be confirmed fixed on a device by device basis, since there are key syntax differences in the paths, but it will get easier the more variants that are discovered. Added another trimmer to cut off \x00|01|02|03 special non printing characters which show as weird jibbberish in output, for model/serial number. 5. Refactored wm, info, desktop, compositor, now all use @ps_gui, which is all that is tested against, not the entire ps_cmd array. This drops the possible tests down massively since the only things in ps_gui will be the actual stuff found that matches all the patterns required for that system, not all ps items. Added marco, muffin fixes. Was showing wm: Metacity (Marco) that is not correct, now shows marco, which then allows to get version too. 5. -Sxxx now shows wm: version as well, which can be of use now and then. 6. --wm added to trip force using of ps data for wm, this can be useful because I don't know all variants of wmctrl output, so that makes it easier to test. 7.

.SH DEBUGGING OPTIONS
New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man page. Big update! Get it in before your freeze!! Bugs: 1. Maybe the vendor/product regex, which when + was used, would put out errors. 2. Maybe Fix 4, since that could lead to incorrect behavior when sudo is involved depending on sudo configuration. 3. BIG: current inxi weather will probably fail if not updated to this or newer versions!! Not an inxi bug per se, but your users will see it as one. Fixes: 1. Fixed Patriot disk ID. 2. Fixes for PPC board handling. 3. Regex cleaner fixes, this could lead to error in special cases of product vendor names. 4. crazy from frugalware pointed out that $b_root detection was flawed, and relied on a bad assumption, particularly for sudo. As usual, he's right, that is now corrected, and uses $< Perl native to determine UID. Enhancements: 1. Added septor to Debian system base. 2. Removed quiet filters for downloaders when using --dbg 1, now you see the entire download action for curl/wget downloads. This went along with issue # 174 3. New feature: --wan-ip-url. This closed issue #174. Also has user config option: WAN_IP_URL as well to make changes permanent. 4. Added --dbg 1 to man and help. The other --dbg options are random and can change, but --dbg 1 is always for downloading, so might as well tell people about it. 5. To anticipate the loss of a major weather API, inxi is redone to use smxi.org based robust API. This also allows for a new switch, --weather-source (or --ws for shorter version), options 0-9, which will trigger different APIs on smxi.org. Added WEATHER_SOURCE configuration option as well. Note that 4-9 are not currently active. Also added in better error handling for weather. The main benefit here is that inxi is now largely agnostic to the weather APIs used, and those can be changed with no impact to inxi users who are running frozen pool inxi's, or who have not updated their inxi versions. NOTE: all inxi versions older than 3.0.31 will probably fail for weather quite soon. So update your inxi version in your repos!! 6. More disk vendors IDs and matches. Thanks linuxlite hardware database. 7. Going along with weather changes, added, if present, cloud cover, rain, and snow reports. Those are for previously observed hour. 8. Small change to Intel CPU architecture, taking a guess on stepping for skylake/Cascade lake ID. Guessing if stepping is > 4, it's cascade lake. But could not find this documented, so it's a guess. At worst, it means that Cascade lake, which must be a later steppingi than 4, will not be ID'ed as skylake. 9. Documentation updates for data sources. Changes: 1. inxi now uses a new system to get weather data. There is no longer a risk of weather failing if the API used locally in inxi fails or goes away. This change should be largely invisible to casual users. 2. In weather, moved dewpoint to be after humidity, which makes a little more sense.

Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, man page. Features, bugs, fixes! Bugs: 1. Color selector accepted '' as a value, which it would then write to config file, creating errors since it's not an integer value. 2. Corrected distro id error for last fallback case, making the distro ID out of the filename itself, that was missing the assignment to $distro. 3. mmcblk0 was showing up as an unmounted partition, due to failing to filter mmcblk[0-9] in unmounted. Fixes: 1. Added missing compositor kwin_wayland to compositor detections 2. For -M, on laptops, sometimes Type: would duplicate in Chassis: type: which looks silly, so now it checks to make sure the two values are different before using the Chassis: type: data. 3. -D disk vendor, added GALAX, fixed Toshiba, which sometimes occurs other than start of disk id string, so now it checks the whole string. This seems particularly common in nvme devices from Toshiba. This is the only vendor I have found that puts the vendor string later in the device id string. 4. Added protection against unreadable but present /etc/issue. This was caused by a now fixed bug in OpenSuSe, which symbolically linked to create /etc/issue from /var/run/issue, but with 600 permissions, root read only, that is. Note that this bug has since been fixed (now has the correct 644 permissions), but I figured better safe than sorry in case anyone else decides that's a good idea in the future. Now only sends to reader if readable. 5. Related to 4, made reader not exit on failure, now just prints error message and keeps going. 6. Upped maximum distro string length to 60, from 50. AntiX for example was coming in at 48, so I decided to add some safe room now that inxi does dynamic sizing, it is not a big problem having very long distro id strings. Enhancements: 1. Added basic /proc data parser to debugger. Can't get all the data or files because it's simply too big, but grabs the basics. 2. Added vcgencmd for some ARM rasberry pi debugging. 3. ARM: add model if not found in /proc/cpuinfo, or if different. 4. Added Tdie cpu sensor type, this is coming soon in latest kernels, so catching it early. Tdie will replace k10-temp sensor item temp1. 5. Added --admin extra data option, and first set of extra data, -C, which will show CPU Errata (bugs), family, model-id, stepping (as hex (decimal) or hex if less than or equal to 9), microcode (as hex). 6. Battery: added with -x option, if found, attached battery driven devices, like wifi keyboard, mouse. If upower is present, will also try to show battery charge percent for those devices. Note that -B only shows the Device-X items if -x is used, and will not show anything in -F unless there is a system, not device, battery present, or if -Fx is used and there is a Device battery detected. Added upower to recommends. 7. Basic -Dxxx disk rotation speeds added. Requires udevadm. Not all spinning disks show rotation speeds, and it depends on udevadm, so if no rotation found, it shows nothing. 8. Added explicit Arco Linux and Antergos distro ID support. This requires more checks, but in theory, both should now show Arco Linux or Antergos instead of default 'Arch Linux' as before, plus extra data if found, like version.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

New version, new man. Bugs: 1. If you consider failure to identify a mounted yet hidden partition a bug, then that bug is fixed, but I consider that as more of a fix than a bug. Fixes: 1. Added more device pattern ID for odroid C1 and C2, these are now pretty well supported. 2. inxi failed to handle a certain type of hidden partition, so far only seen with udiskctl mounted TimeShift partitions, but this may be a more general udisk issue, but so far not enough information. The fix is to use the lsblk data to build up missing partitions, so this fix is for non legacy Linux systems only. The fix works pretty well, but it's hard to know until we get a lot more real world data, but given so far I've received only one issue report on it, I suspect this is not a common situation, but you never know, it would never have shown up in datasets unless I had looked specifically for it, so it may be more common than I think. 3. Cleaned up and simplified new --admin -p and -d logic. Enhancements: 1. For debugging, renamed all user debugger switches to have prefix --debug. These options are to help debug debugger failures, and so far have been tested and solved the failures, so I'm adding them all to the main man and help menu, thus raising them to the level of supported tools. These were enormously helpful in solving proc or sys debugger hangs. * --debug-proc * --debug-proc-print * --debug-no-sys * --debug-sys * --debug-sys-print 2. Added findmnt output to debugger, that may be useful in the future. Also added df -kTPa to also catch hidden partitions in debugger. 3.

.SH DEBUGGING OPTIONS TO DEBUG DEBUGGER FAILURES
man edit
2018-09-28 21:54:00 +00:00
Only used the following in conjunction with \fB\-\-debug 2[012]\fR, and only
use if you experienced a failure or hang, or were instructed to do so.
New version, man page. New features and fixes! Bugs: 1. -I line, sometimes running in showed sudo. This is hopefully now corrected. Fixes: 1. CPU architectures, small reordering based on hopefully more reliable data source, but these are hard to find conclusively. 2. -S Distro id: switched ordering of prefered os-release sources, PRETTY_NAME is not being used consistently, too many distros leave out the distro id found in VERSION, so now it uses NAME + VERSION if both are there, then PRETTY_NAME as a fallback. That reverses how it was, but it will provide better results for most distros. Distros that did this properly to begin with should see no change. 3. Now that inxi is basically debugged and working, I've removed the output of 'inxi' from the -t lines. It remains for the pinxi branch however so you can see how many resources pinxi uses to run. 4. ipmi sensors data are proving to be as random as lm-sensors. Added another alternate syntax for sensors. 5. CPU: found an alternate syntax, again, for IPMI and sensors data, added support, I hope, for that. Enhancements: 1. Added /proc debugger tool to debugger. Due to oddities with how the /proc file system is created, it will only run as user, not root, unless the --proc flag is used. More programs added to debugger commands. 2. More disk vendor strings added, fine tuning of vendor detections. There is a tendency in NVMe disk names to put the vendor name in the middle of the string. That is now handled for a few key vendors. 3. Added basic ARM SOC and server support. This will require more work in the future because the syntax used varies significantly device to device, but the featuers are now in place to add that support. Most SBC ARM devices should now at least show the model and details data in machine data, and some will show -G -A -N data as well. 4. ARM CPU: added first attempt to show the cpu variant as well as the more generic ARM data. This shows 1 or more variants, some ARM devices have two different cpu cores running at different speeds. Odroid for example. 5. Added system 'base:' data for -Sx, that modifies Distro: in supported cases. Currently only Mint and MX/AntiX supported because each specific distro must be handled explicitly using empirical file based data tests. I decided against showing this for rolling release, since really everyone knows that Antergos is made from Arch Linux, so showing that does not provide much useful information, whereas showing the Ubuntu version Mint was made from does. Note that several derived distros are changing how they use os-release, so the tools had to be revised to be more dynamic, which is a pain, and makes it even more empirical and less predictable to print what should be trivially easy to gather distro and derived source data. If your distro is not in this list and you want the base data to be present, please supply a --debug 22 dataset so I can check all the files required to make the detection work. If your distro has changed methods, please note which methods were used in the past, and which are used now. 6. Added Armbian distro detection, that's tricky. Added Rasbpian detections. Added improved Antergos, Arco, and maybe Chakra, Arch detections. 7. Big one: Hardware RAID basic support added. Note that each vendor, and unfortunatley, often each product line, has its own raid status and drive reporting tools, which makes adding the actual drive/raid/status report part very time consuming to add. I may only support this if a certain software maker's raid tools are installed because they are much simpler to parse, but for now, it only shows the presence of the raid device itself, not disks, raid status, etc.

New version, new man. Bugs: 1. If you consider failure to identify a mounted yet hidden partition a bug, then that bug is fixed, but I consider that as more of a fix than a bug. Fixes: 1. Added more device pattern ID for odroid C1 and C2, these are now pretty well supported. 2. inxi failed to handle a certain type of hidden partition, so far only seen with udiskctl mounted TimeShift partitions, but this may be a more general udisk issue, but so far not enough information. The fix is to use the lsblk data to build up missing partitions, so this fix is for non legacy Linux systems only. The fix works pretty well, but it's hard to know until we get a lot more real world data, but given so far I've received only one issue report on it, I suspect this is not a common situation, but you never know, it would never have shown up in datasets unless I had looked specifically for it, so it may be more common than I think. 3. Cleaned up and simplified new --admin -p and -d logic. Enhancements: 1. For debugging, renamed all user debugger switches to have prefix --debug. These options are to help debug debugger failures, and so far have been tested and solved the failures, so I'm adding them all to the main man and help menu, thus raising them to the level of supported tools. These were enormously helpful in solving proc or sys debugger hangs. * --debug-proc * --debug-proc-print * --debug-no-sys * --debug-sys * --debug-sys-print 2. Added findmnt output to debugger, that may be useful in the future. Also added df -kTPa to also catch hidden partitions in debugger. 3. Added in another user level debugger, triggered with --debug-test-1 flag. This will do whatever operation is needed at the time for that user. Some issues can only be resolved by the user on their machine. 4. More disk vendors and matches!!! Thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database!

New version, new man. Fixes, stitches, and returns!! Bugs: 1. As a fix (3), failure to handle spaces in mount source names. More of a fix than a bug, since it was an old issue #63. 2. OSX errors, BSD errors, but not really inxi errors or bugs, more weird data tripping null data or unreadable file errors, but I'll call those bugs since they look like bugs to end users. See Fixes for more. 3. See Fix 4, this is sort of a bug, inxi failed to return expected values on success/failure. Fixes: 1. One of the documented config items, COLS_MAX_NO_DISPLAY had not been implemented internally. This is now corrected. 2. Apple OSX was returning errors, those were fixed. 3. Finally handled ancient issue #63, support now there for spaces in remote source name. This means that both spaces in source block name, and mount point name, are in theory both handled now. This was also to fix an osx issue #164 despite the fact that technically I do not support osx beyond fixing errors, but since in this case the issue was a long standing one, I fixed it for everything. 4. Big fix, I'd completely left undone proper unix type error number returns in inxi, oops. Thanks Unit193 for noticing that and prompting me to fix it. Now inxi returns integer success/error numbers as expected. 5. OSX xml based version info broke, of course, naturally it would, so I added in an osx fallback where if no distro version detected, use fallback unix method, which is what all the other unices use. 6. Along with space in source name, fixed mapped handling a bit more too for partitions. 6. Added cifs remote file system to disk size used blacklist, and iso9660. Not sure how I'd missed those for so long. 7. OpenBSD vmstat in 6.3 changed the column order for avm/fre, and changed to a, sigh, human readable default format, in M, so to handle this for all bsds, I had to make a dynamic column detection for avm and fre, and use those after, and also i had to add in a M detection, if found, *1024 and strip out M, sigh. 8. OpenBSD, another alternate ordering/syntax issue, the dmesg.boot data for disks does not always use the same order in comma separated list, saw user case where the first item after : was the MB size, not the second. Made detection dynamic. 9. Due to Android case, found types where no cpu speed data was found, no max speed at least, which tripped an error due to null data for ARM, this is now handled, now cpu speed min/max read permissions in /sys are checked first before trying to read, and default failures are better handled. 10. On man page, added in clarification of the moving of Memory: item from Info: line to ram Memory: line, explaining when it appears where. I do not removing the item from -I, I may revert that change, I find it non-intuitive to move that around. Enhancements: 1. Added display manager Ly, plus Ly version number. Thanks NamedKitten, this closes issues #166 #165 #162 2. Improved documentation a bit to avoid ambiguity re how to get colors in output. That handles issue #161, thanks fugo for the nudge to improve the documentation. 3. First inxi on Android tests, using termux, which has a debian based apt type installer, got inxi running on at least two devices, including pixel2, but discovered that apparently as of android 5, /sys is now locked up in terms of wildcard reads, but further analysis is required, but as of now, inxi works in termux, but fails to get any Device data for A, G, or N. Thus it also fails to match IF to Device, so none of the IP data shows up. The latter will probably be fixed since Android has ip and ifconfig already, or termux does, but so far I found no way to get device data for ARM in Android 5.x and greater (checked on android 7 and 9 in real phones). 4. More disk vendors!! thanks linuxlite / linux hardware database for offering an apparently never ending list of obscure and not so obscure disk vendors and products. 5. While I was unable to get confirmation or documentation on file names for tce repo files, I guessed that localmirrors would be used, but this may be any random text file in /opt at all, no extensions, I'd have to test to confirm or deny possible values. 6. To handle more complex debugger failures, added --debug-no-proc, --debug-no-exit, to skip or enable completion where proc or sys debugger is hanging. Changes: 1. Changed vendor in A, G, and N to -x, not -xxx, this data seems much more useful and reliable than I'd first expected when I made the feature, the -xxx was more an indication of my lack of trust in the method and source, but so far it seems pretty good, so I bumped it up to an -x option. Note that also, it's quite useful to know the vendor of, say, your network or graphics card, not just the actual device internal data, which is all inxi has ever shown previously. 2. Small change, if no partition type data is found, dev, remote, mapped, default now says 'source:' instead of 'dev:' which makes more sense. Note that df calls that column 'source', so I decided to go with their language for the default not found case. Also changed mapped to say mapped. This was part of a bit of a refactor of the partition type logic, enhanced by adding mapped to existing types, and moved the entire type detection block into the main data generator, and out of the data line constructor. Optimizations: 1. Tested, and dumped, List::Util first() as a possible way to speed up grep searches of arrays, where the goal is just to see if something is in an array. My expectation was that first(), returning the first found instance of the search term, would of course be faster since it will always exit the search loop was met with the sad fact that first() is about 2 to 4 times SLOWER than grep() native builtin. I tested this fairly carefully, and used NYTProf optimizer tool and the results were totally consistent, first() was always much slower than grep(), no matter what size the array is. I assume this means the core C programming that makes grep is simply much better than the File::Util module programming that makes first(). Removed first() and now know that nothing will be faster than grep so no need to look there for speed improvements. The moral of the story: just because something should in theory be faster, does sadly not mean it will be faster, for there are bigger things at work, skill of the programmers who made the logic, how perl handles external vs internal tools, and so on. As an aside, this forms a fairly consistent pattern where I've found Perl by itself to be faster than modules in many cases, that is, it's faster to write the code out than to use a module in many cases that I have tested, so I will always test such ideas and dump every one that is in fact slower than native Perl builtins.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

.SH SUPPORTED IRC CLIENTS
BitchX, Gaim/Pidgin, ircII, Irssi, Konversation, Kopete, KSirc, KVIrc, Weechat,
New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

and Xchat. Plus any others that are capable of displaying either built\-in or external
New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

script output.
New version, new man. Very new man. Man features new section, configuration options, which lists the main config options users would be likely to use. This should help users who will never check the actual documentation web page realize that there are many internal configuration options available. Many edits in man, more to come I suspect. Bug fixes in inxi: 1. removed a few stray debuggers that were creating debugging output 2. fixed a usb driver bug that would create warning messages from Perl (thanks Manjaro for finding that one) New Option: 1. Added: --indent-min - goes with the user configuration option: INDENT_MIN and allows users to experiment with different indent settings. This is what trips the auto line wrap of line starters. This may be revisited, and this switch will make it easier for users to see for themselves which they prefer, what trip point, etc. This will help determine pre 3.0.0 what the default auto wrap trip point, if any, will be. Added more data to debugger tool, more lsblk, which is going to need a lot more data to solve a new issue with dm/encrypt/lvm, initial $MANPAGE data, to see if anyone actually ever uses that environmental variable. Special thanks to Manjaro for being as far as I know the first to package Perl inxi.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

Newer (2014 and later) WeeChats work pretty much the same now as other console
New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

New version, new man. Very new man. Man features new section, configuration options, which lists the main config options users would be likely to use. This should help users who will never check the actual documentation web page realize that there are many internal configuration options available. Many edits in man, more to come I suspect. Bug fixes in inxi: 1. removed a few stray debuggers that were creating debugging output 2. fixed a usb driver bug that would create warning messages from Perl (thanks Manjaro for finding that one) New Option: 1. Added: --indent-min - goes with the user configuration option: INDENT_MIN and allows users to experiment with different indent settings. This is what trips the auto line wrap of line starters. This may be revisited, and this switch will make it easier for users to see for themselves which they prefer, what trip point, etc. This will help determine pre 3.0.0 what the default auto wrap trip point, if any, will be. Added more data to debugger tool, more lsblk, which is going to need a lot more data to solve a new issue with dm/encrypt/lvm, initial $MANPAGE data, to see if anyone actually ever uses that environmental variable. Special thanks to Manjaro for being as far as I know the first to package Perl inxi.

the legacy location is used), i.e.:
New version, new tarball. This is a significant change, but inxi should handle it smoothly. While default configs remain in /etc/inxi.conf, the user overrides now use the following order of tests: 1. XDG_CONFIG_HOME / XDG_DATA_HOME for the config and log/debugger data respectively. 2. Since those will often be blank, it then uses a second priority check: $HOME/.config $HOME/.local/share to place the inxi data directory, which was previously here: $HOME/.inxi 3. If neither of these cases are present, inxi will default to its legacy user data: $HOME/.inxi as before In order to make this switch transparent to users, inxi will move the files from .inxi to the respective .config/ .local/share/inxi directories, and remove the .inxi directory after to cleanup. Also, since I was fixing some path stuff, I also did issue 77, manual inxi install not putting man pages in /usr/local/share/man/man1, which had caused an issue with Arch linux inxi installer. Note that I can't help users who had a manual inxi install with their man page in /usr/share/man/man1 already, because it's too risky to guess about user or system intentions, this man location correction will only apply if users have never installed inxi before manually, and have no distro version installed, unlike the config/data directory, which does update neatly with output letting users know the data was moved. Note that if users have man --path set up incorrectly, it's possible that the legacy man page would show up instead, which isn't good, but there was no perfect fix for the man issue so I just picked the easiest way, ignoring all man pages installed into /usr/share/man/man1 and treating them as final location, otherwise using if present the /usr/local/share/man/man1 location for new manual install users. Also, for users with existing man locations and an inxi manually installed, you have to update to inxi current, then move your man file to /usr/local/share/man/man1, then update man with: mandb command (as root), after that inxi will update to the new man location. Also added some more XDG debugger data as well to cover this for future debugger data. This closes previous issue #77 (man page for manual inxi install does not go into /usr/local/share/man/man1) and issue 101, which I made today just to force the update. Just as a side note, I find this absurd attempt at 'simplifying by making more complex and convoluted' re the XDG and .config and standard nix . file to be sort of tragic, because really, they've just made it all way more complicated, and since all 3 methods can be present, all the stuff has to be tested for anyway, so this doesn't make matters cleaner at all, it's just pointless busywork that makes some people happy since now there's even more rules to follow, sigh.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

\fB$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/inxi.conf\fR > \fB$HOME/.conf/inxi.conf\fR >
\fB$HOME/.inxi/inxi.conf\fR
New version, new tarball. This is a significant change, but inxi should handle it smoothly. While default configs remain in /etc/inxi.conf, the user overrides now use the following order of tests: 1. XDG_CONFIG_HOME / XDG_DATA_HOME for the config and log/debugger data respectively. 2. Since those will often be blank, it then uses a second priority check: $HOME/.config $HOME/.local/share to place the inxi data directory, which was previously here: $HOME/.inxi 3. If neither of these cases are present, inxi will default to its legacy user data: $HOME/.inxi as before In order to make this switch transparent to users, inxi will move the files from .inxi to the respective .config/ .local/share/inxi directories, and remove the .inxi directory after to cleanup.

New version, new man. Very new man. Man features new section, configuration options, which lists the main config options users would be likely to use. This should help users who will never check the actual documentation web page realize that there are many internal configuration options available. Many edits in man, more to come I suspect. Bug fixes in inxi: 1. removed a few stray debuggers that were creating debugging output 2. fixed a usb driver bug that would create warning messages from Perl (thanks Manjaro for finding that one) New Option: 1. Added: --indent-min - goes with the user configuration option: INDENT_MIN and allows users to experiment with different indent settings. This is what trips the auto line wrap of line starters. This may be revisited, and this switch will make it easier for users to see for themselves which they prefer, what trip point, etc. This will help determine pre 3.0.0 what the default auto wrap trip point, if any, will be. Added more data to debugger tool, more lsblk, which is going to need a lot more data to solve a new issue with dm/encrypt/lvm, initial $MANPAGE data, to see if anyone actually ever uses that environmental variable. Special thanks to Manjaro for being as far as I know the first to package Perl inxi.

2017-09-22 00:12:58 +00:00
.I https://smxi.org/docs/inxi\-configuration.htm
New version, man page. Features, bugs, fixes! Bugs: 1. Color selector accepted '' as a value, which it would then write to config file, creating errors since it's not an integer value. 2. Corrected distro id error for last fallback case, making the distro ID out of the filename itself, that was missing the assignment to $distro. 3. mmcblk0 was showing up as an unmounted partition, due to failing to filter mmcblk[0-9] in unmounted. Fixes: 1. Added missing compositor kwin_wayland to compositor detections 2. For -M, on laptops, sometimes Type: would duplicate in Chassis: type: which looks silly, so now it checks to make sure the two values are different before using the Chassis: type: data. 3. -D disk vendor, added GALAX, fixed Toshiba, which sometimes occurs other than start of disk id string, so now it checks the whole string. This seems particularly common in nvme devices from Toshiba. This is the only vendor I have found that puts the vendor string later in the device id string. 4. Added protection against unreadable but present /etc/issue. This was caused by a now fixed bug in OpenSuSe, which symbolically linked to create /etc/issue from /var/run/issue, but with 600 permissions, root read only, that is. Note that this bug has since been fixed (now has the correct 644 permissions), but I figured better safe than sorry in case anyone else decides that's a good idea in the future. Now only sends to reader if readable. 5. Related to 4, made reader not exit on failure, now just prints error message and keeps going. 6. Upped maximum distro string length to 60, from 50. AntiX for example was coming in at 48, so I decided to add some safe room now that inxi does dynamic sizing, it is not a big problem having very long distro id strings. Enhancements: 1. Added basic /proc data parser to debugger. Can't get all the data or files because it's simply too big, but grabs the basics. 2. Added vcgencmd for some ARM rasberry pi debugging. 3. ARM: add model if not found in /proc/cpuinfo, or if different. 4. Added Tdie cpu sensor type, this is coming soon in latest kernels, so catching it early. Tdie will replace k10-temp sensor item temp1. 5. Added --admin extra data option, and first set of extra data, -C, which will show CPU Errata (bugs), family, model-id, stepping (as hex (decimal) or hex if less than or equal to 9), microcode (as hex). 6. Battery: added with -x option, if found, attached battery driven devices, like wifi keyboard, mouse. If upower is present, will also try to show battery charge percent for those devices. Note that -B only shows the Device-X items if -x is used, and will not show anything in -F unless there is a system, not device, battery present, or if -Fx is used and there is a Device battery detected. Added upower to recommends. 7. Basic -Dxxx disk rotation speeds added. Requires udevadm. Not all spinning disks show rotation speeds, and it depends on udevadm, so if no rotation found, it shows nothing. 8. Added explicit Arco Linux and Antergos distro ID support. This requires more checks, but in theory, both should now show Arco Linux or Antergos instead of default 'Arch Linux' as before, plus extra data if found, like version.

\fBDOWNLOADER\fR Sets default inxi downloader: curl, fetch, ftp, perl, wget.
New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

Added more data to debugger tool, more lsblk, which is going to need a lot more data to solve a new issue with dm/encrypt/lvm, initial $MANPAGE data, to see if anyone actually ever uses that environmental variable. Special thanks to Manjaro for being as far as I know the first to package Perl inxi.

New version, man page, exciting changes!! Bugs: 1. issue #200 - forgot to add all variants for -p, now works with --partition-full and --partitions-full 2. issue #199 - another one, forgot to add --disk to -D for long version. Thanks adrian15 for both of these, he was testing something and discovered these were missing. 3. Issue #187 an issue with RAID syntax not being handled in a certain case, thanks EnochTheWise for following through on this one. This turned out to be a bad copy paste, a test pattern did not match the match pattern. Fixes: 1. Fixed some docs typos. 2. Issue #188 fixed protections and filters for some glxinfo output handlers. 3. Issue #195, for Elbrus bit detection. 4. Added filter to cpu data, was not skipping if arm, so Model string was treated numerically. Enhancements: 1. Added rescatux to Debian system base detections. This closes issue #202, again from adrian15, thanks. 2. For cpu architecture, updated for latest AMD ryzen and other families, like Zen 3, which is just coming out re available data. Also latest Intel, which are trickier to ID right now, but I think I got the latest ones right, That's things like coffee lake, amber lake, comet lake, etc. 3. Huge one, full (hopefully out of the box) Russian Elbrus CPU support. Thanks to the alt-linux and the others who helped provide data and feedback to get support. Note that this was also part of correcting 64 bit detection for e2k type, which is how Elbrus IDs internally. See issue #197 which I've left open for the time being for more information on this CPU and how it's now handled by inxi. Note all available data should now work for Elbrus, including physical cpu/core counts etc. Elbrus do not show flag information, nor do they use min/max speed, so that data isn't available, but everything else seems to work well. 4. Eternal disk vendors. Thanks linux lite hardware database, you continue to help make the disk vendor feature work by supplying every known vendor ever seen. 5. To close debian bug report https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=942194 Note that the fix is simply to give the user the option to disable this behavior with the new --no-sudo and NO_SUDO configuration file options. This issue should never have been filed as a bug since even the poster admitted it was a wishlist item, but because of how debian bug tracker works, it's hard to get rid of invalid bugs. Note that this is the internal use of sudo for hddtemp and file, not starting inxi with sudo, so using this option or configuration item just removes sudo from the command. Note that because the user did not do as requested, and never actually filed a github wishlist issue, and since his request was vague and basically pointless, the fix is just to let you switch off sudo, that's all.

\fBNO_SUDO\fR Set to \fB1\fR or \fBtrue\fR to disable internal use of \fBsudo\fR.
New version, new man. Huge set of changes. Excitement!! Thrills! Spills? Bugs: 1. There was a missing main::is_int test that in some instances triggered error. This is corrected. 2. More of a fix, but legacy devices were not matching NIC to IF because the /sys path was not a link as it is now. I made a separate function to handle that match test so it could be more readily be worked with. Fixes: 1. Arch/Manjaro presented yet another Xorg.wrapper path, this time /usr/lib. Why? who knows. That to me is a bug, but since if it's not handled in inxi, it makes it look like inxi has a server: -G bug, I worked around it. Again. This creates the bug when you do not use the actual true path of Xorg where Xorg.wrapper complains and will not show -version data. Why move this? why use that wrapper thing? I don't know, makes no sense to me. 2. More MIPS data, thanks manjaro ARM people. This made MIPS much better, though it will certainly need more work. 3. Better ARM support, added in devicetree strings, which helps pad out the Devices IDs, albeit with very little data, but at least the devices are detected. Thanks Manjaro ARM people there again. 4. Removed Upstart init test for arm/mips/sparc devices. This test made MIPS device totally puke and die, killed networking, so since very few upstart running systems will be arm/mips devices, I decided there better safe than sorry. 5. Found another uptime syntax case, MIPS as root does not have the users item. 6. Many tweaks to SOC data generators, will catch more categories, but the lists will never be done since each device can be, and often is, random re the syntax. 7. USB networking failed to test usb type for 'network', which led to failed ids on some device strings. SOC types are now filtered through a function to create consistent device type strings for the per device tool to use to assign each to its proper @device_<type> array. 8. For pciconf/FreeBSD, cleaned up device class strings to get rid of 0x and trailing subsubclass values, this converts it into the same hex 4 item string that is used by GNU/Linux/lspci so I can apply consistent rules to all pci types, no matter what the generator source is, lspci, pcidump, pciconf, and eventually pcictl if I can get netbsd running. 9. Fixed internal --dbg counts for various features, and updated docs for that. 10. Fixed ARM / MIPS missing data messages, they were redundant. 11. Ongoing, moving excessive source comments to inxi-values.txt and inxi-data.txt. 12. Added unity-system-compositor as mir detection, who knew? I guess that was its production application name all along? Oh well. Enhancements: 1. Added basic support for OpenIndiana/Solaris/SunOS as a bsd type. Just enough to make errors not happen.-repos 2. future proofed unix/bsd detections just to avoid the unset $bsd_type of non BSD unix. 3. Added S6 init system to init tool. 4. Added OpenBSD pcidump to new DeviceData feature. Includes now <root required> message on Device-x: lines if not root. All working. 5. Fully refactored the old pci stuff to DeviceData package/class, due to adding so many types to that, it made sense to make it a single class. 6. Did the same to USBData, because of lsusb, usbdevs, and /sys usb, made sense to integrate the data grabber into one package/class 7. Added speed: item to USB:, it shows in Mb/s or Gb/s 8. Added Odroid C1/C2 handling, which is one big reason I opted to refactor the devices data logic into DeviceData. 9. Added ash shell, not sure if that detection will work, but if it does, it will show. 10. As part of the overall DeviceData refactor, I moved all per type data into dedicated arrays, like @device_graphics, @device_audio, @device_network, etc, which lets me totally dump all the per device item tests, and just check the arrays, which have already been tested for on the construction of the primary DeviceData set. Moved all per type detections into DeviceData so that is now one complete logic block, and the per type data generators don't need to know about any of that logic at all anymore. 11. Added sway, swaybar, way-cooler as window managers, info items. Not 100% positive about the --version, their docs weren't very consistent, but I think the guess should be right if their docs weren't incorrect. 12. Added vendor: item to network, not sure why I kept that off when I added vendor: to audio and graphics. It made sense at the time, but not now, so now -GNA all have vendor: if detected. 13. More device vendors!! The list never ends. Thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database, somehow you have users that manage to use every obscure usb/ssd/hdd known to humanity. 14. Big update to --admin, now has the following: A: partitions: shows 'raw size: ' of partition, this lets users see the amount of file system overhead, along with the available size as usual. B: partitions: show percent of raw in size: C: partitions: show if root, block size of partition file system. Uses blockdev --getbsz <part> D: partition: swap: show swappiness and vfs cache pressure, with (default) or (default <default value) added. This apparently can help debugging some kernel issues etc. Whatever, I'll take someone's word for that. E: Disks: show block size: logical: physical: 15. New option and configuration item: --partition-sort / PARTITION_SORT This lets users change default mount point sort order to any available ordering in the partition item. Man page and help menu show options. 16. Going along with the MIPS fixes, added basic support for OpenWRT, which uses an immensely stripped down busybox (no ps aux, for example), maybe because it only runs as root user/ not sure, anyway, took many fixes. Changes: 1. Changed usb: 1.1 to rev: 1.1 because for linux, we have the USB revision number, like 3.1. Note that this is going to be wrong for BSDs, but that's fine. 2. Changed slightly the output of Memory item, now it follows the following rules: A: if -m/--memory is triggered (> -v4, or -m) Memory line always shows in Memory: item, which makes sense. Note that -m overrides all other options of where Memory minireport could be located. B: if -tm is triggered, and -I is not triggered, Memory shows in in -tm C: if -I is triggered, and -m is not triggered, Memory: shows in -I line. D: no change in short form inxi no arg output, Memory is there.

\fBPARTITION_SORT\fR Overrides default partition output sort. See
\fB\-\-partition\-sort\fR for options.
New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

\fBPS_COUNT\fR The default number of items showing per \fB\-t\fR type, \fBm\fR or

New version, new man. Very new man. Man features new section, configuration options, which lists the main config options users would be likely to use. This should help users who will never check the actual documentation web page realize that there are many internal configuration options available. Many edits in man, more to come I suspect. Bug fixes in inxi: 1. removed a few stray debuggers that were creating debugging output 2. fixed a usb driver bug that would create warning messages from Perl (thanks Manjaro for finding that one) New Option: 1. Added: --indent-min - goes with the user configuration option: INDENT_MIN and allows users to experiment with different indent settings. This is what trips the auto line wrap of line starters. This may be revisited, and this switch will make it easier for users to see for themselves which they prefer, what trip point, etc. This will help determine pre 3.0.0 what the default auto wrap trip point, if any, will be.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

\fBSENSORS_CPU_NO\fR In cases of ambiguous temp1/temp2 (inxi can't figure out which
is the CPU), forces sensors to use either value 1 or 2 as CPU temperature. See the
New version, new man. Completed man edits. Many small bugs fixed. Enhancements: 1. in some cases, will detect partition table type (GTP,MBR) either with or without root. Uses fast method, which is not available on all systems. 2. Added IPMI sensors tools ipmitool and ipmi-sensors to -s for systems that use IPMI. 3. Finished man page edits and corrections. Thanks Pete. 4. Added doubled word filter for main -NGA lines, only for Card items. 5. Gave more granular uptime output: like: uptime: 23d 5h 34m

New version, man page. Big set of changes. Full USB refactor, plus added features. Bugs: 1. A result of the issue #156 USB refactor, I discovered that the --usb sort order, which was based on Bus+DeviceID, in fact is wrong, pure and simple. This was exposed by using a second USB hub on a bus, the Device IDs are not really related in any clearly logical way to the actual position on the bus. The solution was to fully refactor the entire USB logic and then use generated alpha sorters based on the full bus-port[.port] ID. Device ID is now printed last in the ID string, like so: 1-4:1. Note that Device IDs start at 1 for each bus, regardless of how many hubs you have attached to that port. 2. Certain situations triggered a bug in Optical devices, I'd forgotten to change $_ to $key in two places. Since that part didn't normally get triggered, I'd never noticed that bug before. Thanks TinyCore for exposing that glitch! Fixes: 1. On legacy systems, fluxbox --version does not work, -v does. Corrected. 2. for --usb, network devices should now show the correct 'type: Network'. For some weird reason, the people who made the usb types didn't seem to consider many key devices, scanners, wifi/ethernet adapters, and those are almost always "Vendor defined class". 3. A really big fix, for instances where system is using only Busybox, like TinyCore, or booting into any system running busybox for whatever reason, now avoids the various errors when using busybox ps, which only for example outputs 3, not 11, default columns for ps aux, and which does not support ps -j, which is used in the start/shell client information. This gets rid of a huge spray of errors, and actually allows for pretty complete output from systems that only have busybox tools installed. This should cover everything from TinyCore to MIPS to ARM systems that run minimalist Linux. Note that this fix goes along with the /sys based USB parser, since such systems may have USB, but are unlikely to have lsusb installed, but do have /sys USB data. 4. In some cases, strings /sbin/init would trigger a false version result, fixed that logic so now it rarely will do that. Enhancements: 1. Added Mosksha desktop, that's a Bodhi fork of Enlightenment E17; added qtile window manager (no version info). 2. Added Bodhi detection; Salix + base slackware; kde neon system base; 3. Added support for slaptget repos, basic, it may not be perfecct. 4. More disk vendors, and matches for existing vendors. 5. Full rewrite of USB data, in --usb, -A, and -N, along with core usb data engines. This makes lsusb optional, though recommended (because it has a better vendor/ product ID to string internal database) than /sys data. This was in response to a second set of issues in #156 by gm10, USB drivers. Depending on the system, using only /sys data, while slightly less informative, is between 20 and 2000 milliseconds faster, so if you want speed, either use the new --usb-sys option, or the configuration file USB_SYS=[true|false] option. 1. switched to cleaner more efficient data structures 2. added ports count to hub report, linux and bsd. 3. added [--usb|-A|-N] -xxx serial for Device items, if present. 4. added --usb -xx drivers, per interface, can be 1 or more drivers. 5. fully refactored -A and -N usb device logic, far cleaner and simple now, much easier to work with, no more hacks to find things and match them. 6. USB type: now comes from /sys, and is in general going to be more accurate than the lsusb -v based method, which was always an ugly and incomplete hack. As with drivers, it also now lists all the interface types found per device, not just the first one as with the previous method. Note that HID means the more verbose: Human Interface Device, but I shortened it. Now that the type: data is created by inxi reading the class/subclass/protocal IDs, and then figuring out what to do itself, I can have quite a bit more flexibility in terms of how type is generated. 7. added --usb -xxx interfaces: [count] for devices, which lists the device interface count. This can be useful to determine if say, a usb/keyboard adapter is a 2 interface device. Note that Audio devices generally have many interfaces, since they do more than 1 thing (audio output, microphone input, etc.). 8. Support for user configuration file item: USB_SYS=[true|false]. This is useful if you want to see only the /sys version of the data, or if you want the significant speed boost not using lsusb offers, particularly on older systems with a complex USB setup, many buses, many devices, etc. New option --usb-tool overrides USB_SYS value, and forces lsusb use. 9. New options: --usb-sys - forces all usb items to use /sys data, and skip lsusb. Note that you still have to use the feature options, like --usb, -A, or -N. This can lead to a significant improvement in execution time for inxi. 10. Rather than the previous bus:device ID string, to go along with the internal sorting strings used, inxi now shows the real Bus / port /port ids, like: 1-3.2.1:3 - Bus-Port[.port]:device id. 6. Added support for Xvesa display server. Thanks for exposing that one, TinyCore! 7. Added tce package manager to repos. That's the tinycore package manager. Changes: 1. big one, after 10 plus years, the venerable 'Card-x:' for -A,-N, and -G has been replaced by the more neutral 'Device-x:'. This was a suggestion by gm10 from Mint in issue #156 This makes sense because for a long time, most of these devices are not cards, they are SOC, motherboard builtin, USB devices, etc, so the one thing they all are are some form of a device, and the one thing that they are all not is a Card. Along with the recent change from HDD: to Local Storage in Disks: this brings inxi terminology out of the ancient times and into the present. Thanks for the nudge gm10. Removed: See inxi-perl/docs/inxi-fragments.txt for removed blocks. 1. Entire parser for lsusb -v, now it all runs either usbdevs or lsusb, and if Linux and not lsusb, it will use /sys exclusively, otherwise it uses /sys data to complete the lsusb vendor/product strings. 2. Two functions that were used by -A and -N to match usb devices and get their /sys data, that became redundant since it all now goes through the /sys parser already, so those features can get the data pre-parsed from the @usb arrays.

\fBUSB_SYS\fR Forces all USB data to use \fB/sys\fR instead of \fBlsusb\fR.
New version, new man page. Big update! Get it in before your freeze!! Bugs: 1. Maybe the vendor/product regex, which when + was used, would put out errors. 2. Maybe Fix 4, since that could lead to incorrect behavior when sudo is involved depending on sudo configuration. 3. BIG: current inxi weather will probably fail if not updated to this or newer versions!! Not an inxi bug per se, but your users will see it as one. Fixes: 1. Fixed Patriot disk ID. 2. Fixes for PPC board handling. 3. Regex cleaner fixes, this could lead to error in special cases of product vendor names. 4. crazy from frugalware pointed out that $b_root detection was flawed, and relied on a bad assumption, particularly for sudo. As usual, he's right, that is now corrected, and uses $< Perl native to determine UID. Enhancements: 1. Added septor to Debian system base. 2. Removed quiet filters for downloaders when using --dbg 1, now you see the entire download action for curl/wget downloads. This went along with issue # 174 3. New feature: --wan-ip-url. This closed issue #174. Also has user config option: WAN_IP_URL as well to make changes permanent. 4. Added --dbg 1 to man and help. The other --dbg options are random and can change, but --dbg 1 is always for downloading, so might as well tell people about it. 5. To anticipate the loss of a major weather API, inxi is redone to use smxi.org based robust API. This also allows for a new switch, --weather-source (or --ws for shorter version), options 0-9, which will trigger different APIs on smxi.org. Added WEATHER_SOURCE configuration option as well. Note that 4-9 are not currently active. Also added in better error handling for weather. The main benefit here is that inxi is now largely agnostic to the weather APIs used, and those can be changed with no impact to inxi users who are running frozen pool inxi's, or who have not updated their inxi versions. NOTE: all inxi versions older than 3.0.31 will probably fail for weather quite soon. So update your inxi version in your repos!! 6. More disk vendors IDs and matches. Thanks linuxlite hardware database. 7. Going along with weather changes, added, if present, cloud cover, rain, and snow reports. Those are for previously observed hour. 8. Small change to Intel CPU architecture, taking a guess on stepping for skylake/Cascade lake ID. Guessing if stepping is > 4, it's cascade lake. But could not find this documented, so it's a guess. At worst, it means that Cascade lake, which must be a later steppingi than 4, will not be ID'ed as skylake. 9. Documentation updates for data sources. Changes: 1. inxi now uses a new system to get weather data. There is no longer a risk of weather failing if the API used locally in inxi fails or goes away. This change should be largely invisible to casual users. 2. In weather, moved dewpoint to be after humidity, which makes a little more sense.

New version, new man. Bug fixes, feature updates. The main reason to release this earlier than I had hoped was because of the /sys permission change for serial/uuid file data. The earlier we can get this fix out, the better for end users, otherwise they will think they have no serial data when they really do. FIXES: 1. this bug just came to my attention, apparently the (I assume) kernel people decided for us that we don't need to see our serial numbers in /sys unless we are root. This is an unfortunate but sadly predictable event. To work around this recent change (somewhere between 4.14 and 4.15 as far as I can tell), inxi -M and -B now check for root read-only and show <root required> if the file exists but is not user readable. I wish, I really wish, that people could stop changing stuff for no good reason, but that's out of my control, all I can do is adjust inxi to this reality. But shame on whoever decided that was a good idea. This is not technically an inxi bug, but rather a regression, since it's caused by a change in /sys permissions, but users would see it as a bug so I consider this an important fix. Note that the new /sys/class/dmi/id permissions result in various possible things: 1. serial/uuid file is empty but exists and is not readable by user 2. serial/uuid file is not empty and exists and is not readable by user 3. serial/uuid file does not exist 4. serial/uuid file exists, is not empty, and is readable by root Does this change make your life better? It doesn't make mine better, it makes it worse. Consider filing a bug report against whoever allowed this regression is my suggestion. BUGS: 1. A weather bug could result in odd or wrong data showing in weather output, this was due to a mistake in how the weather data was assembled internally. This error could lead to large datastore files, and odd output that is not all correct. 2. More of an enhancement, but due to the way 'v' is used in version numbers, the program_version tool in some cases could have sliced out a 'v' in the wrong place in the version string, and also could have sliced out legitimate v values. This v issue also appeared in bios version, so now the new rule for program_version and certain other version results is to trim off starting v if and only if it is followed by a number. FEATURES: 1. Added in OpenBSD support for showing machine data without having to use dmidecode. This is a combination of systcl -a and dmesg.boot data, not very good quality data sources, but it is available as user, and it does work. Note that BIOS systems are the only ones tested, I don't know what the syntax for UEFI is for the field names and strings. Coming soon is Battery and Sensors data, from the same sources. Sadly as far as I know, OpenBSD is the only BSD that has such nice, usable (well, ok, dmesg.boot data is low quality strings, not really machine safe) data. I have no new datasets from the other BSDs so I don't know if they have decided to copy/emulate this method. 2. By request, and this was listed in issue #134, item no. 1, added in weather switchable metric/imperial output. Also added an option, --weather-unit and configuration item: WEATHER_UNIT with possible values: cf|fc|c|f. The 2nd of two in cf/fc goes in () in the output. Note that windspeed is m/s or km/h as metric, inxi shows m/s as default for metric and (km/h as secondary). Also fixed -w observation date to use local time formatting. That does not work in -W so it shows the default value. 3. Updated man to show new WEATHER_UNIT config option, and new --weather-unit option. Also fixed some other small man glitches that I had missed.

\fBWEATHER_UNIT\fR Values: [\fBc\fR|\fBf\fR|\fBcf\fR|\fBfc\fR]. Same as \fB\-\-weather\-unit\fR.
New version, man page. Features, bugs, fixes! Bugs: 1. Color selector accepted '' as a value, which it would then write to config file, creating errors since it's not an integer value. 2. Corrected distro id error for last fallback case, making the distro ID out of the filename itself, that was missing the assignment to $distro. 3. mmcblk0 was showing up as an unmounted partition, due to failing to filter mmcblk[0-9] in unmounted. Fixes: 1. Added missing compositor kwin_wayland to compositor detections 2. For -M, on laptops, sometimes Type: would duplicate in Chassis: type: which looks silly, so now it checks to make sure the two values are different before using the Chassis: type: data. 3. -D disk vendor, added GALAX, fixed Toshiba, which sometimes occurs other than start of disk id string, so now it checks the whole string. This seems particularly common in nvme devices from Toshiba. This is the only vendor I have found that puts the vendor string later in the device id string. 4. Added protection against unreadable but present /etc/issue. This was caused by a now fixed bug in OpenSuSe, which symbolically linked to create /etc/issue from /var/run/issue, but with 600 permissions, root read only, that is. Note that this bug has since been fixed (now has the correct 644 permissions), but I figured better safe than sorry in case anyone else decides that's a good idea in the future. Now only sends to reader if readable. 5. Related to 4, made reader not exit on failure, now just prints error message and keeps going. 6. Upped maximum distro string length to 60, from 50. AntiX for example was coming in at 48, so I decided to add some safe room now that inxi does dynamic sizing, it is not a big problem having very long distro id strings. Enhancements: 1. Added basic /proc data parser to debugger. Can't get all the data or files because it's simply too big, but grabs the basics. 2. Added vcgencmd for some ARM rasberry pi debugging. 3. ARM: add model if not found in /proc/cpuinfo, or if different. 4. Added Tdie cpu sensor type, this is coming soon in latest kernels, so catching it early. Tdie will replace k10-temp sensor item temp1. 5. Added --admin extra data option, and first set of extra data, -C, which will show CPU Errata (bugs), family, model-id, stepping (as hex (decimal) or hex if less than or equal to 9), microcode (as hex). 6. Battery: added with -x option, if found, attached battery driven devices, like wifi keyboard, mouse. If upower is present, will also try to show battery charge percent for those devices. Note that -B only shows the Device-X items if -x is used, and will not show anything in -F unless there is a system, not device, battery present, or if -Fx is used and there is a Device battery detected. Added upower to recommends. 7. Basic -Dxxx disk rotation speeds added. Requires udevadm. Not all spinning disks show rotation speeds, and it depends on udevadm, so if no rotation found, it shows nothing. 8. Added explicit Arco Linux and Antergos distro ID support. This requires more checks, but in theory, both should now show Arco Linux or Antergos instead of default 'Arch Linux' as before, plus extra data if found, like version.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

\fB\-c 94\-99\fR.
New version, new man. Very new man. Man features new section, configuration options, which lists the main config options users would be likely to use. This should help users who will never check the actual documentation web page realize that there are many internal configuration options available. Many edits in man, more to come I suspect. Bug fixes in inxi: 1. removed a few stray debuggers that were creating debugging output 2. fixed a usb driver bug that would create warning messages from Perl (thanks Manjaro for finding that one) New Option: 1. Added: --indent-min - goes with the user configuration option: INDENT_MIN and allows users to experiment with different indent settings. This is what trips the auto line wrap of line starters. This may be revisited, and this switch will make it easier for users to see for themselves which they prefer, what trip point, etc. This will help determine pre 3.0.0 what the default auto wrap trip point, if any, will be. Added more data to debugger tool, more lsblk, which is going to need a lot more data to solve a new issue with dm/encrypt/lvm, initial $MANPAGE data, to see if anyone actually ever uses that environmental variable. Special thanks to Manjaro for being as far as I know the first to package Perl inxi.

New version, man page. Fixes, enhancements, changes. Thanks: 1. AntiX forums, for testing -C --admin, suggestions, always helpful. Bugs: 1. Added switch to set @ps_gui, I forgot case where info block was only thing that used ps_gui (Nitrux kde nomad latte case). This led to no info: data if other ps_gui switches not activated. Now each block that can use it activates it. Fixes: 1. To clarify issue #161 added help/man explanation on how to get colors in cases where you want to preserve colors for piped or redirected output. Thanks fugo. 2. LMDE 3.0 released, slightly different system base handling, so refactored to add Debian version, see enhancement 2. Tested on some old vm instances, improved old system Debian system base id, but it's empirical, distro by distro, there is no rule I can use to automatically do it, sadly. 3. 'Motherboard' sensors field name added, a few small tweaks to sensors. This was in response to issue #159, which also raised a problem I was not really aware of, user generated sensor config files, that can have totally random field names. Longer term solution, start getting data from sys to pad out lm-sensors data, or to handle cases where no lm-sensors installed. 4. Fixed kwin_11 and kwin_wayland compositor print names, I'd left out the _, which made it look strange, like there were two compositors or something. 5. Fixed latte-dock ID, I thought the program name when running was latte, not latte-dock. inxi checks for both now. Thanks Nitrux for exposing that in vm test. 6. Sensors: added in a small filter to motherboard temp, avoid values that are too high, like SYSTIN: 118 C, filters out to only use < 90 C. Very unlikely a mobo would be more than 90C unless it's a mistake or about to melt. This may correct anoymous debugger dataset report from rakasunka. Enhancements: 1. Added --admin to -v 8 and to --debugger 2x 2. Expanded system base to use Debian version tool, like the ubuntu one, that lets me match version number to codename. The ubuntu one matches code names to release dates. Added Neptune, PureOS, Sparky, Tails, to new Debian system base handler. 3. Big enhancement: --admin -C now shows a nice report on cpu vulnerabilities, and has a good error message if no data found. Report shows: Vulnerabilities: Type: [e.g. meltdown] status/mitigation: text explanation. Note: 'status' is for when no mitigation, either not applicable, or is vulnerable. 'mitigation' is when it's handled, and how. Thanks issue #160 Vascom from Fedora for that request. 4. The never-ending saga of disk vendor IDs continues. More obscure vendors, more matches to existing vendors. Thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database Changes: 1. Reordered usb output, I don't know why I had Hubs and Devices use different ordering and different -x switch priorities, that was silly, and made it hard to read. Now shows: Device/Hub: bus-id-port-id[.port-id]:device-id info: [product info] type/ports: [devices/hubs] usb: [type, speed] -x adds drivers for devices, and usb: speed is now default for devices, same as Hubs. Why I had those different is beyond me. The USB ordering is now more sensible, the various components of each matching whether hub or device. Unfixable or Won't Fix: 1. Unable to detect Nomad desktop. As far as I can tell, Nomad is only a theme applied to KDE Plasma, there is no program by that name detectable, only a reference in ps aux to a theme called nomad. 2. Nitrux system base ID will not work until they correct their /etc/os-release file. 3. Tails live cd for some inexplicable reason uses non standard /etc/os-release field names, which forces me to either do a custom detection just for them, or for them to fix this bug. I opted for ignoring it, if I let each distro break standard formats then try to work around it, the distro ID will grow to be a 1000 lines long easily. Will file distro bug reports when I find these from now on.

Added: --indent-min - goes with the user configuration option: INDENT_MIN and allows users to experiment with different indent settings. This is what trips the auto line wrap of line starters. This may be revisited, and this switch will make it easier for users to see for themselves which they prefer, what trip point, etc. This will help determine pre 3.0.0 what the default auto wrap trip point, if any, will be. Added more data to debugger tool, more lsblk, which is going to need a lot more data to solve a new issue with dm/encrypt/lvm, initial $MANPAGE data, to see if anyone actually ever uses that environmental variable. Special thanks to Manjaro for being as far as I know the first to package Perl inxi.

\fBIRC_COLOR_SCHEME\fR Desktop X/Wayland IRC CLI color scheme.
\fBIRC_CONS_COLOR_SCHEME\fR Out of X/Wayland, IRC CLI color scheme.
\fBIRC_X_TERM_COLOR_SCHEME\fR In X/Wayland IRC client terminal color scheme.
New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

New version, man page. Features, bugs, fixes! Bugs: 1. Color selector accepted '' as a value, which it would then write to config file, creating errors since it's not an integer value. 2. Corrected distro id error for last fallback case, making the distro ID out of the filename itself, that was missing the assignment to $distro. 3. mmcblk0 was showing up as an unmounted partition, due to failing to filter mmcblk[0-9] in unmounted. Fixes: 1. Added missing compositor kwin_wayland to compositor detections 2. For -M, on laptops, sometimes Type: would duplicate in Chassis: type: which looks silly, so now it checks to make sure the two values are different before using the Chassis: type: data. 3. -D disk vendor, added GALAX, fixed Toshiba, which sometimes occurs other than start of disk id string, so now it checks the whole string. This seems particularly common in nvme devices from Toshiba. This is the only vendor I have found that puts the vendor string later in the device id string. 4. Added protection against unreadable but present /etc/issue. This was caused by a now fixed bug in OpenSuSe, which symbolically linked to create /etc/issue from /var/run/issue, but with 600 permissions, root read only, that is. Note that this bug has since been fixed (now has the correct 644 permissions), but I figured better safe than sorry in case anyone else decides that's a good idea in the future. Now only sends to reader if readable. 5. Related to 4, made reader not exit on failure, now just prints error message and keeps going. 6. Upped maximum distro string length to 60, from 50. AntiX for example was coming in at 48, so I decided to add some safe room now that inxi does dynamic sizing, it is not a big problem having very long distro id strings. Enhancements: 1. Added basic /proc data parser to debugger. Can't get all the data or files because it's simply too big, but grabs the basics. 2. Added vcgencmd for some ARM rasberry pi debugging. 3. ARM: add model if not found in /proc/cpuinfo, or if different. 4. Added Tdie cpu sensor type, this is coming soon in latest kernels, so catching it early. Tdie will replace k10-temp sensor item temp1. 5. Added --admin extra data option, and first set of extra data, -C, which will show CPU Errata (bugs), family, model-id, stepping (as hex (decimal) or hex if less than or equal to 9), microcode (as hex). 6. Battery: added with -x option, if found, attached battery driven devices, like wifi keyboard, mouse. If upower is present, will also try to show battery charge percent for those devices. Note that -B only shows the Device-X items if -x is used, and will not show anything in -F unless there is a system, not device, battery present, or if -Fx is used and there is a Device battery detected. Added upower to recommends. 7. Basic -Dxxx disk rotation speeds added. Requires udevadm. Not all spinning disks show rotation speeds, and it depends on udevadm, so if no rotation found, it shows nothing. 8. Added explicit Arco Linux and Antergos distro ID support. This requires more checks, but in theory, both should now show Arco Linux or Antergos instead of default 'Arch Linux' as before, plus extra data if found, like version.

You may be asked to run the inxi debugger tool (see \fB\-\-debug 21/22\fR), which will
upload a data dump of system files for use in debugging inxi. These data dumps are
very important since they provide us with all the real system data inxi uses to parse
out its report.

.I https://github.com/smxi/inxi
New version, new man. Fixes, stitches, and returns!! Bugs: 1. As a fix (3), failure to handle spaces in mount source names. More of a fix than a bug, since it was an old issue #63. 2. OSX errors, BSD errors, but not really inxi errors or bugs, more weird data tripping null data or unreadable file errors, but I'll call those bugs since they look like bugs to end users. See Fixes for more. 3. See Fix 4, this is sort of a bug, inxi failed to return expected values on success/failure. Fixes: 1. One of the documented config items, COLS_MAX_NO_DISPLAY had not been implemented internally. This is now corrected. 2. Apple OSX was returning errors, those were fixed. 3. Finally handled ancient issue #63, support now there for spaces in remote source name. This means that both spaces in source block name, and mount point name, are in theory both handled now. This was also to fix an osx issue #164 despite the fact that technically I do not support osx beyond fixing errors, but since in this case the issue was a long standing one, I fixed it for everything. 4. Big fix, I'd completely left undone proper unix type error number returns in inxi, oops. Thanks Unit193 for noticing that and prompting me to fix it. Now inxi returns integer success/error numbers as expected. 5. OSX xml based version info broke, of course, naturally it would, so I added in an osx fallback where if no distro version detected, use fallback unix method, which is what all the other unices use. 6. Along with space in source name, fixed mapped handling a bit more too for partitions. 6. Added cifs remote file system to disk size used blacklist, and iso9660. Not sure how I'd missed those for so long. 7. OpenBSD vmstat in 6.3 changed the column order for avm/fre, and changed to a, sigh, human readable default format, in M, so to handle this for all bsds, I had to make a dynamic column detection for avm and fre, and use those after, and also i had to add in a M detection, if found, *1024 and strip out M, sigh. 8. OpenBSD, another alternate ordering/syntax issue, the dmesg.boot data for disks does not always use the same order in comma separated list, saw user case where the first item after : was the MB size, not the second. Made detection dynamic. 9. Due to Android case, found types where no cpu speed data was found, no max speed at least, which tripped an error due to null data for ARM, this is now handled, now cpu speed min/max read permissions in /sys are checked first before trying to read, and default failures are better handled. 10. On man page, added in clarification of the moving of Memory: item from Info: line to ram Memory: line, explaining when it appears where. I do not removing the item from -I, I may revert that change, I find it non-intuitive to move that around. Enhancements: 1. Added display manager Ly, plus Ly version number. Thanks NamedKitten, this closes issues #166 #165 #162 2. Improved documentation a bit to avoid ambiguity re how to get colors in output. That handles issue #161, thanks fugo for the nudge to improve the documentation. 3. First inxi on Android tests, using termux, which has a debian based apt type installer, got inxi running on at least two devices, including pixel2, but discovered that apparently as of android 5, /sys is now locked up in terms of wildcard reads, but further analysis is required, but as of now, inxi works in termux, but fails to get any Device data for A, G, or N. Thus it also fails to match IF to Device, so none of the IP data shows up. The latter will probably be fixed since Android has ip and ifconfig already, or termux does, but so far I found no way to get device data for ARM in Android 5.x and greater (checked on android 7 and 9 in real phones). 4. More disk vendors!! thanks linuxlite / linux hardware database for offering an apparently never ending list of obscure and not so obscure disk vendors and products. 5. While I was unable to get confirmation or documentation on file names for tce repo files, I guessed that localmirrors would be used, but this may be any random text file in /opt at all, no extensions, I'd have to test to confirm or deny possible values. 6. To handle more complex debugger failures, added --debug-no-proc, --debug-no-exit, to skip or enable completion where proc or sys debugger is hanging. Changes: 1. Changed vendor in A, G, and N to -x, not -xxx, this data seems much more useful and reliable than I'd first expected when I made the feature, the -xxx was more an indication of my lack of trust in the method and source, but so far it seems pretty good, so I bumped it up to an -x option. Note that also, it's quite useful to know the vendor of, say, your network or graphics card, not just the actual device internal data, which is all inxi has ever shown previously. 2. Small change, if no partition type data is found, dev, remote, mapped, default now says 'source:' instead of 'dev:' which makes more sense. Note that df calls that column 'source', so I decided to go with their language for the default not found case. Also changed mapped to say mapped. This was part of a bit of a refactor of the partition type logic, enhanced by adding mapped to existing types, and moved the entire type detection block into the main data generator, and out of the data line constructor. Optimizations: 1. Tested, and dumped, List::Util first() as a possible way to speed up grep searches of arrays, where the goal is just to see if something is in an array. My expectation was that first(), returning the first found instance of the search term, would of course be faster since it will always exit the search loop was met with the sad fact that first() is about 2 to 4 times SLOWER than grep() native builtin. I tested this fairly carefully, and used NYTProf optimizer tool and the results were totally consistent, first() was always much slower than grep(), no matter what size the array is. I assume this means the core C programming that makes grep is simply much better than the File::Util module programming that makes first(). Removed first() and now know that nothing will be faster than grep so no need to look there for speed improvements. The moral of the story: just because something should in theory be faster, does sadly not mean it will be faster, for there are bigger things at work, skill of the programmers who made the logic, how perl handles external vs internal tools, and so on. As an aside, this forms a fairly consistent pattern where I've found Perl by itself to be faster than modules in many cases, that is, it's faster to write the code out than to use a module in many cases that I have tested, so I will always test such ideas and dump every one that is in fact slower than native Perl builtins.

New inxi, new man, new tarball. It's here! Perl inxi, first official release. So many changes, really too many to list. But here's a few: 1. of course, full rewrite to Perl 5.x. Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

.B inxi
New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

Initial CPU logic, konversation version logic, occasional maintenance fixes,
and the initial xiin.py tool for /sys parsing (obsolete, but still very much
New version, new tarball, new man page. Deprecated xiin uploader, which completes the deprecation of the xiin.py tool, which is going to become obsolete when python 3 fully replaces python 2. Since the odds of perl being around and stable are far higher than the odds of xiin.py even working on python 3, I'm getting ahead of the race. Plus Perl is nicer to work with. And Perl is a lot faster. I mean, a lot. Not slightly. And it also works on much older systems, and does not have that Python version < 2.6 failure due to changing Python syntax even between sub versions. xiin.py never ran on Python 2.5 even when it was relatively recent, which is one reason I'm removing all Python from inxi. Basically xiin.py worked only on Python 2.6 or 2.7, period. Oh, and also handled issue #115 by not making -B show -M data.

The nice people at irc.oftc.net channels #linux\-smokers\-club and #smxi,
who all really have to be considered to be co\-developers because of their
New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

CPU: MT/HT was wrong for old xeon, made mt detection more robust and hopefully more reliable, removed all explicit b_xeon based tests. 2. fixed /dev/mapper glitch, that make /dev/mapper links fail to get id'ed. 3. openbsd: fixed memory handler; fixed cpu flags, fixed partitions handling. 4. freebsd: fixed similar partition bugs, these were caused by the darwin patch. 5. man page: fixed top synopis syntax, thanks ESR. 6. partitions fs: fixed possible failures with lsblk fs. lsblk: added debuggers so we can track down this failure in the future. 7. added sshfs filter for disk used output, note, there is a possible syntax for remote fs that isn't handled: AAA:BBB that is, no :/, only the :. This makes explicit detection of still unknown remote fs very difficult since : is a legal nix filename character.

Supports as old as 5.008, as new as current. 2. Better line length nandlers. Fully dynamic, robust, shrinks and expands to fit either taste or viewport. 3. Long options for all options now, plus of course the short options everyone is used to. 4. New options: --usb; --slots (pci slot report); --sleep (change cpu sleep time); and many more. Check --help or man page for details. 5. Vastly improved --recommends, now does per distro package recommends, and shows only Linux data to Linux systems, and BSD data to BSD systems. 6. Hugely improved debugger as well. 7. Far more accurate output, most output is now in key/value pairs, because: 8. inxi now exports to json and xml! See --output/--output-file for info. 9. Enhancedd repo output, added deb822 type, solus 10. Radically enhanced network data, now shows all IP / IF devices connected to each nic, not just one, both IP v4 and v6. 11. USB audio and network device actual drivers 12. better handling of compiler data. 13. Basic ARM machine data now, if present to inxi 14. Graphics: per card driver info alongside the original xorg drivers. 15. Better integration of partitions, RAID, unmounted partitions, and HDD data. 16. Better sensors handling of free video driver sensor data, well, not better, it's now there, along with fan speeds for gpus. 17. RAID is enhanced, and now can show > 1 RAID type on a system, and the RAID is improved. 18. Much improved disk/partition/memory sizing, inxi now always works internally with KB units, and changes them on output to the appropriate units. 19. Fully redone man page for all the new options and the long options. And so much more. Anyway, here it is, the first release.

New version, new man. Beta / 2.9 testing completed. inxi 3.0 is now ready for prime time. No substantial issues have been found over the past week. All outstanding issues and bugs have been corrected. The man page and help page have been edited fairly heavily to improve usability and readablity. All work and development and support for inxi 2.3.56 is ended. No issues for 2.3.56 will be accepted since there is no way to support that version, it being in a different set of languages (Gawk/Bash) than inxi 2.9/3.0 (Perl 5). So the sooner you move your distro package pool to new inxi, the sooner your users can get support for any issues with current inxi. Beta and 2.9 prerelease testing is completed, and has resulted in a much better inxi than I could have hoped for. There are so many new features and enhancements in the new inxi that it's hard to list them all. See previous commits for a more in depth record. 1. New options: --slots (PCI Slots); --usb 2. Exports to json/xml with --output options 3. Every line has been enhanced, with tighter output control, better key / value pairings, more accurate values. 4. Line wrapping is now fully dynamic, which means inxi works down to 80 columns and should basically never wrap (except for very long repo lines, but that's not really fixable). 5. More controls, more user configuration options (see man page). 6. So many small new features that it's hard to list them all. Shows SSH in -I if SSH. Shows sudo/su/login in -I if relevant and detectable. Shows disk partioning scheme in some cases (more coming). Removes color codes if piped or redirected to file. 7. All sizes are now shown in standardized KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB/PiB format, to avoid ambiguity about whether M or MB or MiB is meant. All internal size math is done using KiB, which further avoids confusion and error. Note that many disk makers like using MB or GB instead of MiB or GiB because it makes their disks seem 'bigger'. 8. Sensors -s now supports IPMI sensors, in tandem with lm-sensors. Anyway, the changelog will show better all the new features etc, I can't remember them all. All current issues and glitches have been fixed, any remaining are simply new issues, just as they would be in old inxi. Note that in the second and third weeks of beta testing a significant number of bugs that are in inxi 2.3.56 were fixed. 2.3.56 has been moth-balled into the inxi-legacy branch as binxi, to avoid mixing it up with inxi. The development branch is now permanently inxi-perl, aka, pinxi, since that worked so well for beta and pre-3.0 2.9 testing and development. This ends the pinxi/inxi development stage. All future development will proceed using the inxi-perl branch, and will be the same in terms of new features as pre inxi 2.9 was, they will be added, enhanced, as seems appropriate. Remember, inxi is a rolling release program, like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian Testing/Sid, and has no frozen release points, so this is simply the beginning of the 3.0 line of Perl inxi. Thanks to everyone who contributed time, energy, effort, ideas, testing, debugging, patience - inxi would not work without you.

For the vastly underrated skill of output error/glitch catching, Pete Haddow. His
patience and focus in going through inxi repeatedly to find errors and inconsistencies
is much appreciated.
New version, new man. Very new man. Man features new section, configuration options, which lists the main config options users would be likely to use. This should help users who will never check the actual documentation web page realize that there are many internal configuration options available. Many edits in man, more to come I suspect. Bug fixes in inxi: 1. removed a few stray debuggers that were creating debugging output 2. fixed a usb driver bug that would create warning messages from Perl (thanks Manjaro for finding that one) New Option: 1. Added: --indent-min - goes with the user configuration option: INDENT_MIN and allows users to experiment with different indent settings. This is what trips the auto line wrap of line starters. This may be revisited, and this switch will make it easier for users to see for themselves which they prefer, what trip point, etc. This will help determine pre 3.0.0 what the default auto wrap trip point, if any, will be. Added more data to debugger tool, more lsblk, which is going to need a lot more data to solve a new issue with dm/encrypt/lvm, initial $MANPAGE data, to see if anyone actually ever uses that environmental variable. Special thanks to Manjaro for being as far as I know the first to package Perl inxi.

New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools. Since the systemd method is literally up to 25x slower than the udev method, it's not being considered except maybe as a last, last resort, and probably will never be used.

Without a wide range of diverse Linux kernel\-based Free Desktop systems to test
New version, man page. Finished up main man edits. Set new defaults for some options, like --sleep and -t. Edits to layout and language, removed some legacy options and language from man and inxi. Added partition table detections, rough initial stage. Only works on systems with udev present currently, will be expanded as we find fast tools.

on, we could never have gotten inxi to be as reliable and solid as it's turning
New version, new tarball, new man page. This is the first attempt to correct an issue a forum poster raised, which is the fact that despite the fact that GNU/Linux has had reasonably ok zfs support for years now, inxi only tested for zfs on bsd systems. This has been corrected. Due to the complexity of handling software raid, inxi will now test first for ZFS data, if none is found, it will then test for /proc/mdstat. In a perfect world I'd like to have full dynamic Raid support, but I'm missing all the key ingredients required to add that: 1. systems to test on 2. software raid, I don't use it 3. data collection for non mdraid and zfs software raid, including the values possible to gather from all non software raid. Basically, the only way I'd extend -R raid option is if I get direct ssh access to a machine that uses the alternate software raid type, otherwise it would take forever to figure out the options. Since the number of people who might be actually running zfs and mdraid and using inxi probably numbers in the 10 globally, I figured this solution was a fine way to handle adding zfs without messing up mdraid, which is more common on linux. It also does not break BSDs, since bsds as far as I know don't use mdraid, and don't have /proc/mdraid in the first place. Also redid the man page to add -! 41, -! 42, -! 43, -! 44 options, which bypass curl, fetch, wget, and all of them, respectively. Plus making the lines less wide. That should make those people who actually use 80 column wide vi as an editor happy, lol.
