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.
and so version numbers failed. Now first trying gnome-session to get version number.
Also, there's a bug in at least gtk detection in opensuse, not sure what it is, they could
be using a different syntax for the test:
pkg-config --modversion gtk+-3.0
returns no such package on gnome 3.10 installs, but I have no idea what package name to
test for there in this case.
So leaving gtk version bugs unhandled due to no user information or feedback, if you want
it fixed or if it works for your distro, let me know and also if it does not work, tell
me the correct commmand, with its output, to get gtk version.
That's for inxi -Sx output that is.
repo type output, the initial listing was not complete of possible syntaxes. Now handles:
Nonfree Updates (Local19) /mnt/data/mirrors/mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/media/nonfree/updates
as well, apparently that is a possible output format in certain cases with urpmq.
Non urpmq distros ignore this update, there are no other actual changes.
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.
are actually loaded. Since we can't fix xorg, inxi will try to work around this bug by validating
one step further in the Xorg.0.log data, to confirm that drivers noted as loaded/unloaded/failed are
actually running the display(s) of the system.
There is a possible case of error that might happen due to this change in the case of a system with
a complex xorg that uses two drivers/modules to run two different displays, ie, nvidia on one, and amd
on the other, for example, or intel/nvidia, etc. However, if that bug appears, we'll get that data set
of debugging output and fix it at that point.
This fix repairs an existing xorg bug that is unlikely to get fixed any time soon (the call to load the
detected drivers, eg, vesa, intel, is repeated, causing a failure of driver already loaded on the second
occurance.
so I've updated that. -f for ARM now shows features instead of flags, and the -C regular cpu output does not
show cache/flags for arm cpus becuase they don't have those features.
Added some flags passed to various cpu functions and better detections of ARM cpu to handle dual core and other
issues that were not handled before as well, or at all.
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.
-! 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.
kfreebsd from Debian.
Cleaned up all sed and grep that will be used by bsds, added more granular flag for bsd types.
Cleaned up and corrected issues between bsd/linux, more escapes and tests added to drop error
counts in bsds.
Please note that you must use the inxi from branches/bsd for true bsds because sed has extra -i ''
added, and has the proper #!/usr/local/bin/bash
Added -! 16 for gnubsd download/update, that's for gnu bsd systems like gnu/kfreebsd from debian.
That retains the top #!/bin/bash path, and also uses gnu sed so no -i '' syntax.
Moved some grep -o to gawk or sed to avoid using gnu grep unnecessarily, leaving gnu grep where
it will be linux only, for example parsing a /proc file.
Fixed tty irc bugs for bsds and linux, now should show the right console size for both, ideally.
support built in, although inxi will not run in bsd unless the top: #!/bin/bash is changed
to #!/usr/local/bin/bash
The actual bsd branch can be grabbed from:
http://inxi.googlecode.com/svn/branches/bsd/inxi
then you can keep that version updated using: inxi -! 15
which will grab the latest bsd version from the svn server.
This release also fixes a lot of small bugs that testing for bsd support exposed, but functionally
most people should see no difference, I just want to get this version up because there are
so many small changes that it's worth having a release.
I was going to have the fixed dmidecode for old systems in 1.8.35 but that will have to wait til
1.8.36
Linux users should see no real changes, except maybe a thing or two will work in certain circumstances
when it didn't before, like showing MHz on ARM cpus on short inxi.
small change -Ixx will show running in tty if it's not in X, with tty number.
sort of redundant to System: console: data, but that's ok, we'll live for now.
an ssh command sometimes it will not show any client information, just the debugger
PPID output. Now it will test as a final check to see if it can detect any parent to
the process. Actually grandparent I believe. Seems to work, it's a fringe case but
why not handle it?
New -xx feature, for -I it will show, if inxi is not running in IRC client and if
is running in X, and if the grandparent is not 'login', will show the application
the shell is running in.
Example:
Info: Processes: 271 Uptime: 5:36 Memory: 3255.8/4048.5MB Runlevel: 3
Gcc sys: 4.7.2 alt: 4.0/4.2/4.4/4.5/4.6
Client: Shell (bash 4.2.37 - started in konsole) inxi: 1.8.33
and made cleaner the version data in verbose mode, non irc.
Fixed instance where program location would only show a dot . or relative path to inxi. Now
in version full will show the full path, or should.
Basic version line now show: inxi 1.8.30-00 (January 22 2013)
The verbose information/version shows the license information, website/irc support info, and
a few other changes.
Also fixed a small bug where the copyright shows current year, not the actual year of the inxi
copyright contained in the top comment header.
