-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
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.
Now -M shows device type, like desktop, laptop, notebook, server, blade, vm (and tries to get vm type).
vm detection will take more work, for now I'm just going for the main ones used, but it will certainly
miss some because it's hard to detect them in some cases unless you use root features. Also note, in
most cases a container I believe will display as a vm, which is fine for now.
For BSDs, and older linux, there is a dmidecode fallback detection as well.
Basic support added for Budgie desktop detection. This is waiting more data, so the support will be
missing the version information. Go Budgie!!
Added /var/tmp and /var/log and /opt to basic partition data: -P
This will probably not impact more than a handful of people in the world, but that's fine.
Modified the static BIOS in -M to now show UEFI for actually UEFI booted systems, and, ideally,
UEFI [Legacy] for UEFI booting in bios legacy mode, and BIOS for all others. Hopefully this will
work ok, we'll see.
-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.
