wget/fetch/curl. This allows systems with for example out of date certificate stores
to still download without error. Also a legacy system fix where tty size failed to show.
Also cleaned up man page, slightly changed output for compat version to: (compat-v: 3.0)
gfx variable name fixes to make more obvious the logic as well.
Also found a case with intel gpu where glxinfo -display :0 hangs endlessly when out of X.
I assume this is an Intel or glx bug, so I mentioned this in the man page for -! 40 option.
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.
used to not work as root in X, but they do now. So I've removed the root tests for graphics
output, and now only rely on the returned data to determine the output when in X. Out of X
behavior remains the same.
Note that at some point I'll have to see if wayland systems have usable reporting tools to get
screen resolution, opengl info, and so on, but that will have to come one step at a time.
-xx option will show OpenGL compatibility version number as well, though that's largely useless
information for most users, thus the -xx. Note that this reverses the default, which previously
showed OpenGL version, which is actually the compatibility version.
This should resolve#105 pull request, though it does it differently, by switching the default
output to what is more relevant, and offering the compatibility version as an optional output item.
Note that much of the glx information will probably change to more neutral terms once wayland support
starts growing, and systems without xwayland etc libraries appear.
Further note that non free drivers showed the OpenGL core profile version numbers all along, so really
this simply corrects misleading output for free drivers.
and compositor support.
This finally implements a first try at mir/wayland detection, along with basic handling of actual
display server type output.
New output for Display Server: Display Server: x11 (X.Org 1.19.0) driver: nvidia
Note that since almost all current Wayland systems will have X.org also installed, for the time
being, the data in the parentheses will be from X.org regardless of what display server is detected running
the actual desktop. Out of the desktop, console, the only thing that will show is x data..
No other data is available to me yet until I get way more debugger data so I can see what information the various
implementations of wayland without x tools actually makes available, my guess is it won't be much.
Also experimental -xx option: -G shows compositor, but only for wayland/mir currently.
I have no idea if this will work at all, but it's worth giving it a try as a rough beginning to
start handling the wide range of wayland compositors being created.
This feature will probably take several versions to get stable.
Also added new debugger data collector data for wayland information, but the pickings are slim, to
put it mildly.
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
Improve IPv6 handling to cope with multiple addresses. After reviewing issue 78 and the links in it, which I'm glad I added since they explain the stuff pretty well, I'm accepting this patch as is. I'm not positive about the temporary address being hidden, but it's easy enough to modify that in the future if it's an issue.
Note that this bug is not universal, but I believe this will make inxi more right than wrong
as a general rule. Further note that altitude is NOT actually the altitude of the city/location
requested, in most cases, but rather the altitude of the weather station data assigned to that
location request.
from BIOSTAR. Also fixed a few other sloppy gsub, and fixed a few gensub errors as well.
Since BIOSTAR is a fairly common mobo, I'm surprised I haven't gotten this bug report
before.
This closes issue #102.
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.
graphics driver, so it would not show in output, which causes support issues for users of that specific
driver, like some cases of Intel. Also inxi would always have failed to show it unloaded in cases where
radeon/nouveau were used but it had been loaded by xorg to begin with. So probably worth updating packages
I'd say.
each disk is on its own line always, this makes it easier to read and/or parse.
Also, the lines now wrap nicely for extra data > console width, or -y 80 for example if
you're trying to force most of the data to fit into 80 columns.
