would have caused failure on older systems. Also added Bash version checker.
Most ps aux data is now searched using bash parameter expansion, and several functions
that were in subshells are now printing to globals instead.
as well so you can see which revision of the cpu microarchitecture your cpu has.
Also fixed a few random vm id issues, I found cases where systemd believes it's bochs
but it is actually kvm, so now the systemd data is not fully trusted, but is confirmed.
Will need some updates to bring the family/model ids to fully current, but should show data for most
cpus. Next release will hopefully include latest model/family ids and microarchitecture names.
Note that while /proc/cpuinfo has the family/model id in decimal, the values are actually generally
found as hexadecimal, so inxi translates that interally so we can store the data the way it is presented.
See issue #116 for ongoing additions to this feature.
but Xorg has not started, which means inxi can't get the video driver from Xorg.0.log as with X.
Added in extra data collection from lspci -v to include the driver for graphics card. this is
only used, for now, if the initial Xorg based driver test works.
Note that this may also work for systems that have not yet started X out of X, in console, I'm
not sure about that, but the graphics driver reporting should be improved.
Note that I'm not yet linking the driver to the specific card/device, it's just going to show
in a comma separated list, I couldn't find multi card systems where the card types are different,
like amd gpu with nvidia card, for example.
But this should correct an issue, at least to start, with expanding wayland support for systems
that don't use or have not started the desktop with Xorg/X11 etc.
core profile data being null, which in turn triggered a bash oddity, where if the IFS is
\n for an array, and if the value of one element is '', then bash ignores that and does
not simply set an empty array key as you'd expect. The correction was to change the IFS
to ^, which worked fine for empty array values.
However, since this bug will impact anyone with empty opengl core profile data, I recommend
updating inxi.
Also, added support for two smaller wm, Sawfish and Afterstep.
This is a good source for lists of wm: http://www.xwinman.org/http://www.xwinman.org/others.php
However, that does not show how to ID it, so i have to do it on a case by case, but I'll
add an issue for showing how to get your wm of choice if it's missing to inxi.
long-standing issue where /dev/ram.. data shows in unmounted disks output. This is
now properly filtered out.
Note that the floppy disk output has no information beyond it's /dev id, eg: /dev/fd0
I could find no meaningful data in /sys related to the floppy disk, not the model, etc, so
I'm just showing presence of disk.
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.
