-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
* weechat.org has HSTS so using https is encouraged.
* code.google.com says that the project is read-only and inxi has moved
to GitHub so linking to what seems to be the current version of
documentation would be better.
Changes: updated inxi updaters to use github locations.
I will do this commit once for googlecode, and once for github, after that,
all commits will go only to github.
inxi moves to github, despite my dislike of for profit source repos, and git,
I decided that I just don't have the time or energy to do it right, so I'm going
to use github.
The project is already moved, though I have left inxi up for the time being on
code.google.com/p/inxi until I move the wiki to http://smxi.org
Everything is pretty much the same, the project url is:
https://github.com/smxi/inxi
The direct download link for the gz is:
https://github.com/smxi/inxi/raw/master/inxi.tar.gz
git pull is:
git pull https://github.com/smxi/inxi master
svn checkout url:
https://github.com/smxi/inxi
And that's about it.
pet peeve of mine. Now, if -I, -b, -F, or anything that can trigger the memory: used/total
in Information line is not used, -tm will always show the system used/total ram data on the
first line of the Memory item of -t output.
Also, if -xtc (trigger ram data in cpu output) is used, and -I is not triggered, and -tm is
not triggered, will also show system used/total ram data on the cpu first line.
I'd found it odd that this data did not appear when -tcm or -tm or -xtc were used, so this is
now fixed. I used the -t option a fair amount to find memory/cpu use issues, and usually I
don't use the option with other options, so the lack of total system ram data was odd.
fine for all derived distros like Sabayon as well. The test looks for:
/etc/portage/repos.conf/ and type -p emerge
if found will then grab the repos from the source files found.
Note that the logic for this was almost identical to that used for rpm so it was an
easy addon. Please let us know if you have an issue and provide data samples of relevant
files.
handling. Or rather, non handling, since that data only showed in rare cases on short form
(inxi no args) output. Now it uses /sys query to determine min/max speed of cpu, and uses
that data to override any other min/max data discovered.
Still uses /proc/cpuinfo for actual speeds per core. The assumption in this is that all
cares will have the same min/max speeds, which is generally going to be a safe assumption.
Now in short form, inxi, output, it will show actual speed then (max speed) or just (max)
if actual speed matches max speed. Same for -b short CPU output.
For long, -C output, shows max speed before the actual cpu core speeds per core.
With -xx, and in multi cpu/core systems only, shows if available min/max speeds.
Note that not all /sys have this data, so it doesn't show any N/A if it's missing.
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.
at least making good guesses when the data is bad for ram, and hopefully will not break
too many cases where it was actually right but seemed wrong.
Unfortunately, dmidecode data simply cannot be relied on, and is FAR inferior to the type
of data inxi tries in general to present users, ie, taken directly from the system, and,
ideally, more accurate than most other tools. But in this case, there is just no way to get
the data truly accurate no matter how many hacks I add.
But if you have bad data, then submit: inxi -xx@ 14 so I can take a look at the system,
and see if I can modify the hacks to improve that data.
maximum supported module size, and module voltage. Most systems do not have this data,
but some do. It's Type 5 item in dmidecode.
Getting the type 6 data however is too hard, and even using type 5 assumes that the
system only has one physical memory array, but that's fine given how few systems
probably will have this information in the first place.
features. Changed output syntax to be more consistent, now each main array line starts with:
Array-X capacity: (where X is an integer, counting from 1)
and each device line starts with:
Device-X: (where X is an integer incremented by 1 for each device, and starting at 1
for each array. I have no data sets that contain > 1 physical memory array, if one appears,
I may need to patch the output to link the array handles with the device handles explicitly.
Made memory bus width output more clear, and added in a hack to correct dmidecode output errors,
sometimes total width > data width, and sometimes data width is > total width, so using always
greatest value for total if not equal to other width.
I think this will be close to it barring any user feedback or bugs, if nothing comes to
mind within a few days, I'll move the number to the new major version, 2.2.0
items and am now just generating one: Locator item, usually from Slot/DIMM locator info,
but sometimes from Bank Locator info when it is more reliable based on my data samples.
Updated help menu, updated man page, now shows working -x -xx -xxx extra data. This may
change slightly over time.
Also removed speed output when No Module Installed is returned for device size. This
also wills switch off width if both total/data are empty.
This is much closer now to live 2.2.0, but I'll leave a few more tests before putting
it at 2.2.0.
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.
It turns out I'd neglected to include /dev/disk partitions, oops, in the df data.
Since this is a long time bug, it warrants a new release even though I just did
2.1.22.
disk used percentage as well. Since swap space is not available as disk space, it
makes sense to me to count it as used. -P/-p show the percent of swap used as well.
for the next major feature, -m / memory, so there is no particular reason to package
this release. There is a new development option, -! 33, which lets me override /sys
data use for -M, which is useful to debug dmidecode output for -m and other features.
No new version, new man. There may be a few more of these releases, but functionally
there is no particular reason to make a new package if you are a maintainer, so there
is no new version number. This release is a preparation for some branches/one/inxi
tests that will be run in the future.
The man/help document -! 33 just to have it there, but it should make no difference
to anyone but me at this stage.
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.
time to make it easier to test stuff one by one.
Full refactoring/reordering of top global variables, moved user/maintainer set variables
to top, and clearly identify all globals.
Changed LINE_MAX to COL_MAX but all user configuration files will stay working since
inxi now will check for that and translate them to the new variable names.
New lines fixed, -C cpu and -f cpu plus full flags. Flags output is now fully dynamic to
display screen in terminal/console. Moved cpu short flags to -x because it's not that
important in general and just clutters things up in my opinion.
Print flags/bogomips on separate line if line greater than display width.
The rest of the lines will get a similar treatment, but it takes a bit of trial and error
for each line to get it working right.
Note that IRC line lengths are NOT dyanamic unless I can find a way to determine the column
width of irc clients, but that won't be accurate since fonts vary in widths for each character.
CPU was the worst offender in my opinion in terms of regular output wrapping to new line messily,
next will be the things with ports/chip id/card id.
Tightened up a bit more the dyanamic help / version output handler.
window column width help/version outputs. There is a significant slowdown to achieve this,
but I've optimized it as much as I could so it should be acceptable for most users now.
type if openrc). -xx shows init / rc version number. Change runlevel to target if
systemd and if non numeric runlevel given. Should support systemd/upstart/epoch/runit
sysvinit. Supports openrc as extra data if it's present. Rearranged -I line a bit but
really just exchanged Runlevel: for Init: v: Runlevel: default:
This is the first step, some of the init system ID methods are weak and non robust
and this may need to be revised, but it should for now identify systemd/upstart quite
accurately, and in most cases sysvinit. Note that to get sysvinit version number requires
tool: strings which in debian/ubuntu is in package binutils. I don't know the package names
for arch/fedora/etc for the recommends check tool in inxi yet.
I believe this will be good enough for a first draft version, but over time we'll get it
more fine tuned, but as it is now, it should cover at least 99% of users, which isn't bad.
for adding alternate display servers, like Wayland or Mir. Rather than release all the
stuff at once I'm going to do it bit by bit. Currently I have not found a wayland iso
test cd that boots in virtual box so I will have to wait to really add support there.
to show default runlevel, using systemd/upstart/sysvinit type default tests.
Fixed gtk library version detections, now will support dpkg/pacman version tests, which
should give more data to more people than previously, where the old tests usually would
return null unless gtk dev packages were installed on the system.
Other distros than Mandriva, Mageia, no other changes so no need to update unless you want to.
This adds support for Mandriva, Mageia. urpmq parsing is similar but not identical to pisi.
