cases. This required fixing some core logic assumptions that are not currently correct, particularly
on two cases, some xeon cpus fail to show core id for each core, showing 0 for all of them, second,
vm cpus do not show physical ids at all for at least intel, nor do they show core id.
While we can't get HT totally reliable, particularly for vm xeon, since inxi has no way to know in
that case if a core is attached to a physical core or a virtual one, all of them being virtual in that
case, but still inxi is now reporting the correct number of cores, or threads in vm xeons, and is not
showing multicore cpus as single core, which was the main issue.
This required redoing the counter logic for the cpu/core/physical arrays, now they are set independently,
and can handle any of the others not being set, without creating an error or failure condition.
Also added in last check for a certain intel case where core id is 0 but > 1 physical cores exist, that
now also shows the correct cpu / core count.
While this is tested on many data sets of proc cpuinfo, it's still possible there is a fringe case I have
not seen that will trigger yet another unexpected behavior.
zypp or yum it will work. If it's both then it will show only one I believe, if that's a possible scenario, no idea.
Added one more fix for those pesky intel vm cpu core errors, now if /proc/cpuinfo shows no siblings at all,
and no core_id, but does have physical id, it will use the count for physical id as a default for core count.
Not perfect, but better than calling a dual core cpu a single core.
There's still a lot of mysteries with vm versions of kvm cpus, for example, if you see a dual core xeon, is
that actually one core with ht, or two cores? There is no way to find that information out that I can see that is
reliable.
/proc/partitions of 253, which made the disk totals fail to show up at all. Added that in.
Moved sourcing of configuration files to right after initialize_data so that some variables
can be forced to different values before the next set of system/app checks.
This is to allow specifically turning off, for some headless servers where $DISPLAY is not
null due to a bash configuration bug, these:
B_SHOW_X_DATA='false'
B_RUNNING_IN_X='false'
Setting those two to false in inxi.conf will turn off all the X checks etc even if the $DISPLAY
is set to non null.
Added in support for ksplice kernel version, requires installed uptrack-uname, if that is
present and if uptrack-name kernel version is different from uname then it will add (ksplice)
to kernel version string, and use ksplice kernel version. Also created a single function
get_kernel_version for use by short form/long form inxi output.
For intel xeon cpus, trying a work around for a bug in /proc/cpuinfo which fails to show core_id
or physical_id for cpus, using siblings / 2 for xeons with no actual core counts.
Fixed a bug that made fixes for multimounted partitions fail for disk used. Added in support
for also excluding single partitions mounted to different places.
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.
looked a bit odd, but for maintainers, it's not an issue, there will be an actual release later in a week or so with resorted weather
data probably, we'll see.
-! location= option, to indicate that users must replace space with + themselves.
Because of how bash handles these options, inxi cannot add in + signs itself automatically.
This should be closer to cleanup of this new feature.
a global that can be set in user / system configs to make a longer wget time out. Default
is 8 seconds.
This should take care of the failure from slow load issue reported.
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.
useage if bind mounts are used, ie, multiple binds to a single mount. Now inxi will
check a list of the previously used partitions before adding the size of the used space
to the total used, if the partition has already been used it will skip it. This was/is
a quick and dirty fix, but it's totally fine I believe and should resolve two separate
issues:
1. use of bind mount method, where multiple partition names are bound to the same partition
2. accidental dual mounting to the same partition.
partitions section will still show the same data, ie, if bind is used, it will show all
the bind mounts even when they are attached/bound to a partition that is already listed.
This seems useful information, though maybe we can get the key word 'bind' in there somehow,
but for now I won't worry about that issue, that's just a nice to have, not a bug.
linux driver version handling, now only trimming off number from bsd drivers.
Some linux drivers, like tg3 for broadcom ethernet, have numbers ending them. So this is
a bug fix for 1.8.44 release mainly.
Also includes openbsd initial fixes for some issues related to sysctl parsing for cpu and ram.
to bsd. Using a pciconf parser to do most of the heavy lifting in this one.
Two functions do the main pci card processing for audio, graphics, and networking.
All seems to be shipshape and working, tested on freebsd 7.3, 9.0, and 9.1 and
the output is consistent.
turns off all -h and -H menu options for updating. Also triggers an error message
if you use -U or -! <10-16/http://>.
Distro maintainers, take note, if you used the B_ALLOW_UPDATES flag, you no longer
need to change the code anywhere, the error messages and blocking the -h output for
update features is automatic as soon as the flag is set to 'false'.
I needed to change the -! handling because -! is now also being used for extra features
like -! 31 and -! 32 and probably more stuff in the future, plus the -! 30 used by
things like the inxi gui tool being worked on by trash80.
Also included in this version are more bsd changes, including initial function for pciconf
data parsing, this will be used for -A, -G, and -N options for card data.
Further bsd improvements are better error/no data available messages for -D and -o.
The hdd used still fails to properly calculate the actual raid sizes but that's a bit too tricky
to do easily so will leave that for some other time.
Also added in more hdd used partition types for bsds, wd and ad type drivers for disks.
partitions) would show components of the md raid array as unmounted partitions.
This is of course incorrect, and is now fixed.
Small update of man page as well to note that -o will not show components of mdraid arrays.
output for mdraid. Certain conditions would trigger a false return for raid components, now
it shows more explicitly the online/spare/failed data so it's clear. Also shows 'none' for
online if none are detected.
status as with mdraid, will show offline/failed devices as well in standard output.
Updated help and man page to reflect the difference between -R, -Rx, and -Rxx output for
zfs / mdraid.
No linux inxi changes, this should not alter any behaviors in -R for mdraid, if it does, it's
a bug, please report it.
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.
In some cases, dmidecode returns the grammatically wrong message:
'No smbios nor dmi data' instead of 'No smbios or dmi data', corrected the search
to look for simpler: 'no smbios ' to avoid that random error.
properly support the -s option. Now -M uses only one method for dmidecode, manual construction of the Machine
data from the raw dmidecode file. The file output is also parsed a bit to make it more consistently reliable
for inxi purposes.
This update also includes all recent bsd branch updates, including the new #!/usr/bin/env bash on top which
lets inxi run in any environment without changes. Also for bsd, sets sed -i/sed -i '' global value, which
means that now all the branches are the same, except the bsd branches will contain the most recent tests
and bsd handling.
As each step is reached, I'll release a new inxi that should be stable, this is the first one however that
can be used as is, no changes, for bsd, debian kfreebsd, and linux systems.
Pleasen note that most bsd features are either incomplete or missing completely at this point, but it's a
start.
Some initial changes as well to help options to show more correct linux or bsd terms. These will be updated
as time permits, it is a long process.
