If you are ever curious about what is hanging or slow, start inxi with the same options and add --debug 3 That will scroll most of the functions as it runs them between line item output blocks. Remember, inxi builds up the data to make the next item output block BEFORE it prints. So the issue is alw...

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, this incorrect data source has existed since the feature was added. However, I think previously it generally reflected reality, but it may never have, I just don't know. Anyway, the previous /sys file was not a valid data source, as I, and you, and previous ...

this fix for wakeups is now out in inxi 3.3.31. Update from your local inxi dispensary.

Lady Fitzgerald, my comments were related to a possible issue with the inxi report on your monitor sizes and diagonals, not related to the issue of this thread, it's something someone noticed and alerted me about. Certainly the data is wrong, but most likely it's coming from the system and is wrong ...

I can't make any comments on the inxi monitors output because the monitor EDID data section was still being developed and debugged after 3.3.13. If I were to guess however, I'd guess the Display Port adapters are sending the same signal and data for each port, that's what it looks like based on the ...

I also did not understand the wakeup_count in the kernel docs, I thought it was saying one thing, but it was saying something completely different, and thus I believe I may totally remove it as a datasource since I can't understand what it means or what it refers to. Your example is a good one, and ...

I'm looking through various datasets, and find a few things: I can see why I used wakeup_count, in older kernels etc, suspend_stats/success does not exist. I found many instances where success is 0, and wakeup_count is in one case massive, 49000+, clearly something spinning out of control, but also ...

The raw patch is in pinxi, and I really wish this would have been reported to me prior to the 3.3.30 release because this won't hit next inxi until enough updates and fixes have accumulated to warrant a new release. It would be great if at least one forum person who generally tracks the forums could...

To add to this, first, the language for wakeup_count is somewhat opaque, and leaves undefined what a wakeup event is. So I can say, on non suspending systems, both counts are as expected 0. On hibernate/resume systems, suspend count is 0, and on mine, I get a wakeup count of 1. I don't know where th...

I'm not positive, but this looks like either a bug in the kernel, or in the kernel documentation. I verified this issue on my system. It's unfortunate that you didn't file an issue report for this when you discovered it since it's only by pure coincidence (someone from mint alerted me today about th...

pinxi man is installed like so: sudo pinxi -U --man The man page is optional, this was by request from some users who did not want a default install of man with a pinxi update, which made sense, so that's how pinxi updates work. One of the fairly natural things that happens is that the earliest test...

This is now released, inxi 3.3.30 is out the door. Note the change to codeberg.org/smxi/inxi code repositories, but they are still mirrored to github for a while longer.

SMG, thanks for the extra info. Since it not within the scope of --recommends to show when distros change the package names, I changed (Ubuntu: mesa-utils-extra) to (or: mesa-utils-extra) Many distros seem to be having trouble settling on what egl is and how to package it. fedora/opensuse/redhat hav...

One other detail, while I dug in a bit to these things, I'm still not clear on what this stuff all is, for example, EGL platform surfaceless I don't fully understand, and my old assumption was that GBM was EGL, but GBM is just an EGL platform, that was a misunderstanding that was in all the egl mess...

Re what shows with 2 or more gpus, say intel and amd, I have that data because a tester had such a system. For OpenGL: it shows the device driving it, I was not sure if there is any case where opengl shows data for more than 1 device, the code partially supports doing that, but I have not seen any s...

I've been having issues with distros changing the packages for egl in particular, so I've had to do the --recommends list for egl and glx a few times. I'd assumed that the Ubuntu and Debian packages were the same, so I didn't check Ubuntu package names. On Debian testing: dpkg -S /usr/bin/eglinfo me...

I guess I won't post on Mint for new features testing anymore, which is fine. This is not a 'chat about linux' topic. It's a technical development issue, where I'm attempting to give Mint users and developers early access to new features which may impact their users. Anyway, it was worth a try, give...

A new upgrade to the inxi graphics API feature is in final testing stage. To test/give feedback/find issues, install or update pinxi: # to update installed: pinxi -U # to install: cd /usr/local/bin && sudo wget -O pinxi smxi.org/pinxi && sudo chmod +x pinxi This came about because I ...

This is funny, because I actually started inxi for gnu/linux precisely because I had been a windows sys admin and there was no program like it. There's some gui stuff, like cpu-x or whatever. So I'm glad to hear this is still the case. I think the gui thing cpu-x or whatever it's called shows some s...

Note that newer inxi features a lot more graphics data, but you need to use at least -Gxx verbosity level, ideally -Ga to really see what's going on. This sounds like an incorrectly labeled thread however, it sounds like the graphics output is going to the wrong port, and it's not related to the ker...
