This should not be cluttering up Debian's bug tracker, this is not a bug, it's just a feature
request, and it does zero good to file stuff like that on Debian's bug tracker (except that I
happened to see it since I'm subscribed to inxi issues on Debian's bug tracker), file it on the inxi
project github page as an issue, and close this Debian report since it's not a bug. Don't engage in
further discussion on this email thread, if you want an issue like this looked at, report it to inxi
on github.
I won't respond any further on this on this here since it's not a proper use of
Debian's bug tracker.
Once you post the issue in the proper place I'll take a look at it. Apologies to the maintainer of
the package.
thanks,
Harald Hope, inxi.

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.
