Package: inxi Version: 3.0.36-1-1 Severity: wishlist It is kind of a wishlist, but can be also considered a bug.
When running inxi, and asking for memory details (-m), it can't show all details (like memory clocks, timings, ECC-ness), as it requires dmidecode, which requires a root. However, running full inxi with sudo, or under root, can influence other things, most notably graphics stack settings, like Mesa details, if the user installed custom mesa with custom LD_LIBRARY_PATH & co. A solution would be to call inxi as normal without sudo, and ask inxi to call sudo on necassary commands if needed. The new behaviour would be controlled by switch only, and the current behaviour would be preserved. This way it will work on systems without sudo or with sudo configured in a way that requires extra authentication. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/32 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages inxi depends on: ii pciutils 1:3.6.2-2 ii perl 5.30.0-6 ii procps 2:3.3.15-2+b1 Versions of packages inxi recommends: ii dmidecode 3.2-2 ii dnsutils 1:9.11.5.P4+dfsg-5.1+b1 ii file 1:5.37-5 ii hddtemp 0.3-beta15-53 ii iproute2 5.3.0-1 ii kmod 26-3 ii lm-sensors 1:3.5.0-3 ii mesa-utils 8.4.0-1+b1 ii net-tools 1.60+git20180626.aebd88e-1 ii sudo 1.8.27-1+b1 ii tree 1.8.0-1+b1 ii usbutils 1:012-2 ii x11-utils 7.7+4 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7+8 Versions of packages inxi suggests: ii curl 7.66.0-1 ii libcpanel-json-xs-perl 4.12-1+b1 ii libjson-xs-perl 4.020-1+b1 ii libxml-dumper-perl 0.81-1.2 ii perl [libhttp-tiny-perl] 5.30.0-6 ii wget 1.20.3-1+b1 -- no debconf information
