[Bug 1911837] Re: inxi, error "Use of uninitialized value $val2"

2022-03-09 Thread Harald Hope
That version is about 100 releases old, it's not my fault linux mint
refuses to ship a current inxi. File a bug report with linux mint where
it might do some good, not here, the ubuntu version in Jammy is current,
and hirsute and impish both have 3.3.0x inxi versions as well. Mint
failing to update isn't an inxi bug, it's not an ubuntu bug, and its not
a Debian bug, it's a Mint bug, so file the issue there, ask them to
update inxi, god knows I've tried doing that enough times to finally
give up on trying anymore, but maybe more voices will get them to stop
shipping that antique inxi.

[Bug 1911837] Re: inxi, error "Use of uninitialized value $val2"

2022-03-07 Thread Harald Hope
Current inxi release is 3.3.13.

What is 'this' referring to? Never use the term 'this' when discussing
technical issues, it does not narrow it down enough to convey meaning.
Rather than ask if 'this is still an issue', why don't you test it and
see?

The bug reported here is 50 to 100 releases of inxi ago. jammy has
3.3.13 as of now. An undefined data bug would have been fixed
immediately once detected and reported.

I believe this issue was closed ages ago, and if not, it should have
been. Did you possibly post in the wrong bug issue? If you have a new
issue, then file it as such, but make sure you are talking about current
inxi, from the github master branch, not a legacy unsupported version.

Note that the option --tty also often takes care of these issues, that
was added before 3.0.32, though I'm not positive about which bug this
user has, but they can trivially verify by simply testing on current
inxi, if it goes away, the bug was fixed long ago.

This version of inxi is obsolete, inxi is on version 3.2.02 right now.

Bugs like this are only meaningful if the poster downloads current inxi
and reproduces them on current release. I believe the ssh -C bug was
fixed quite a while ago.

[Bug 1899192] Re: inxi 3.1.07-1-1 does not report Desktop version

2020-10-09 Thread Harald Hope
This apparently has been going on in ubuntu for longer than I realized,
I assume one of the fallback tests which used to work must now be
failing.

Added more filters for these types of changes, and re-ordered some of
the detection for gnome to avoid a case where it is gnome but it fails
the detection due to unknown values in the id, like ubuntu:, although
that specific instance is now filtered out.

this update is in pinxi [inxi-perl branch of inxi] but I don't know when
it will go out, maybe sooner than later to hit the 20.10 non beta
release.

These kinds of silly changes are without a question my number one pet
peeve with the entire linux ecosystem, distros, random pointless string
value changes done for no good reason, and never considering that tools
might actually be USING the data that those strings and variables
contain.

[Bug 1899192] Re: inxi 3.1.07-1-1 does not report Desktop version

2020-10-09 Thread Harald Hope
this is a regression in the beta 20.10 gnome ubuntu desktop ID. It is
not possible to know if they will correct this regression or not.

the value $GDMSESSION should be 'gnome' but is 'ubuntu', that is
completely wrong, GDMSESSION is supposed to identify the gnome desktop,
not the distro name. This is bug one  in the beta.

bug two is similar:

$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP has likewise been corrupted, leading to a secondary
detection failure:

ubuntu:GNOME

the ubuntu name string has no business being in there, but that one is
easier to correct.

The corruption in $GDMSESSION I suspectc is a straight beta bug, and
should be reported to ubuntu since it's just wrong, ubuntu is NOT the
gdmsession owner, GNOME is.

This issue is invalid because it is relating to beta release ubuntu and
we have no way of knowing if these two regressions are going to remain
in the final release, or if they were just working ideas that will be
removed, as they should be, since they break all existing detection
methods, and serve no valid purpose.

Note that I realized that it would be largely a waste of time trying to
get actual debugging data from the issue poster, so I grabbed the beta
iso and ran it in a vm, but I will NOT normally do this because it's a
waste of my time, so in this case, it was which would waste less of my
time.

I do not normally track launchpad issues, nor should it be used for beta
release issues since those are beta, not final, release, and thus by
definition invalid until confirmed by ubuntu to be the final idea, which
I hope it isn't since it just adds another pointless layer of complexity
to desktop detection.

File an issue, as I already told you, on https://github.com/smxi/inxi
about the desktop issue.

This requires data and discussion, and launchpad is the wrong place for
that. I cannot reproduce your system, nor do I have any actual idea of
what you are doing to lead to desktop detection failure.

Please DO NOT tack on totally unrelated issues, the desktop has NOTHING
to do with the compiler. The compiler issue is fixed. If you have other
issues, file an issue on github inxi, the desktop logic is totally
unrelated, and can be quite complicated to debug, certainly not an
appropriate issue for launchpad, file it where it will make a
difference: https://github.com/smxi/inxi

[Bug 1898829] Re: CMOS-battery status missing in "inxi -B"

2020-10-08 Thread Harald Hope
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/rtc.txt

just a bit of info on rtc drivers. While rtc is something, it's not
necessarily the cmos battery, it's just a chip that the system can use
to determine time. So it would not be a cmos battery it would be an RTC
battery, since there would be no way for inxi to know what it was, there
can be more than one for example.

This bit of data is unlikely to make it into inxi I have to admit since
I would need to see much more information about variation and > 1 rtc
systems and systems where the battery was dead or whatever else can
happen, but in no case would it be a cmos battery state, it would be an
rtc chip state, but, again, since I have no real data on this, no
examples of complex systems, etc, it's unlikely this will be added.

Then there is no data available, which means the issue is not valid, nor
is there anything indicating that that data is available. As an aside I
do not remember ever seeing CMOS battery state listed when testing or
checking inxi -Bx results or datasets, usually the Device-x: battery
states belong to things like wifi mice, keyboards, and other external
battery driven devices that report their battery state to the linux
system.

2020-10-07 Thread Harald Hope
This is not a valid issue, and it's not a bug. Also, the poster didn't
read the help/man at all, since to see other device batteries listed,
you have to use -Bx, not -B alone. -B alone only shows results for
laptop batteries, basically. If -Bx does not show the cmos battery, then
inxi can't find it, the data is not anywhere it can locate. If -Bx shows
the device battery then obviously the issue is completely invalid in the
first place, and if it doesn't, it means inxi has no access to it, which
means the issue is invalid. /proc is not used to get battery data, that
comes from /sys.

2020-09-17 Thread Harald Hope
This is caused by a syntax change in /proc/version

Since I had no /proc/version for ubuntu I had to guess, the issue was
resolved for the distros that I got to see samples from, but I have yet
to see a /proc/version output for ubuntu kernel 5.8.

Note this is NOT a bug in inxi because the syntax in question has been
stable ever since inxi offered the compiler version for kernel, this was
a change done for unknown reasons, and in a non standard manner, and
will require more /proc/version samples from different distros to fully
cover.

This is not a bug, the weather source that was in inxi 2.x and 3.0.31
and earlier is gone. The only fix for weather is to update to current
inxi (3.0.33 in ubuntu, and 3.0.34 in master branch of github inxi).

The reason later versions work is because they point to a new weather
data source.

2016-08-25 Thread Harald Hope
Just as an aside, I checked, and in fact, dmidecode calls a UEFI a BIOS.
I checked that output for the same UEFI machine. However, there appears
to be two or three possible paths that are present in a UEFI system but
not in a BIOS system, so it may work fine, and easily, relatively, to
indicate UEFI for newer gnu/linux systems or BIOS, which would be a nice
upgrade to make anyway.

[Bug 1617075] Re: inxi does not display all partition data

2016-08-25 Thread Harald Hope
https://github.com/smxi/inxi/issues

You'll want to post this exact issue report on the inxi github.

You're correct re BIOS being technically incorrect however because line
space is at a premium in inxi, any term that encompasses bios and uefi
type firmware has to be crystal clear and SHORT, and clear enough where
all users would understand it. It might actually be possible for inxi to
be smart enough to detect when it's uefi and when it's bios, not sure,
depends on if that data exists in the /sys data. Might. I can check some
of the user data sets.

There's two levels of partitions, P and p, P is the basic stuff, p is
everything I've been aware of, you'd be the first person to note they
are using /var/temp and /var/log as separate partitions.

It's a whitelist test, so inxi has to know about the possible values to
add them, so that's easy to correct. If you can think of others that
could possibly be used as well add them to the issue report, it's easy
to add stuff to that detection.

The best solution for the bios issue would be to actually detect if it's
bios or uefi, which I'd need to pull out of /sys for newer gnu/linux
systems, and out of dmidecode data for systems without that /sys data,
like bsds and older linuxes.
