it is too big, and sometimes too small. Changed data gathering to use arrays, then print/process
the arrays once they are assembled.
Now it will get rid of any max module size if it's greater than the calculated capacity, and it
will generate an estimated capacity/max module size if they are clearly wrong because actual
module sizes are greater than listed max size, or capacity is less than greatest module sizes times
number of devices.
Not perfect, but it never is, this covers more cases now correctly than before.
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.
working, but help/man does not have that yet, until I finalize the order.
Fixed dmidecode issues, showing extra data types for -m, added line length handling
so -m is properly integrated with rest of inxi re max line lengths.
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.
have the odd feature in our test data of having > 1 IF id, like ib0 ib1 per pcibusid.
Added support for virtual nics as well. This required refactoring the networking functions
significantly, so hopefully nothing breaks for existing systems. It should in theory be more
robust now than it was before, with more accurate output, particularly with multiple port
devices, like two port nics etc.
that this method will be super long lived, I expect LXDE to change how it shows itself
to the system when the gtk variant goes away. Good for lxde by the way in dumping gtk.
added in an abstracted kernel_compiler method, not just gcc, that may work on freebsd,
and in the future, it may also work if distros or kernel people start using either
clang or LLVM-GCC or LLVM for compiling linux kernels. I'd need some data sets to
show that however before adding that full linux kernel support, but the framework
is now there.
That continues the abstraction of certain features, like kernel compiler, init system,
display server. Display server still needs full data sets from mir/wayland, at least
wayland, and the bsd display servers as well, I have no idea how to get that data
at this point, but the starting framework is present anyway for that time I get
those datasets.
Almost all these changes are for darwin osx, and that is about all I will do for that
junky broken platform, they have no tools, they have no discipline when it comes to
following unix like conventions, they even use spaces in program names, like windows.
Given it has no native lspci or pciconf tool that I am aware of, or dmesg.boot,
there's little point in putting more time into it. dmidecode does not run on darwin,
so there's nothing to learn there either, you can get a silly 3rd party program to
generate a dmidecode.bin data file that dmidecode can then read, but since that
requires not one, but two third party programs be installed, that's not going to
happen.
Next time an osx user calls this system 'unix' I will laugh.
experiment, just to get it running, so you can all ignore this release.
Added in darwin cpu, init, distro version support, and updated inxi to support
darwin/osx without exiting.
No linux changes.
used percentage, there are too many possible remote file systems to safely exclude, so
sticking with using the test that partition is /dev mounted.
Howeve, did add excludes of nfs/smbfs types, as well as future bsd excludes of those.
