And a hall of shame, LOL. + +Bugs: +1. Issue #188 exposed a situation in glxinfo where the required opengl fields are +present but contain null data. This happens when a system does not have the required +opengl drivers, which was the case here. inxi failed to handle that. Thanks +LinuxMonger for posting the required data to figure this corner case out. + +2. Fixed a long time bug in Disk vendor ID, there was an eq (string equals) +where it was supposed to use regex pattern match. Oops. Would have led to +disk vendor id failures in several cases. + +Fixes: +1. help, man updates for RAM/Memory data, more clarifications. + +2. Refactored RepoData class/package, to make it easier to handle repo string +data, and make it all overall cleaner internally, and enable future extensions +to certain features in inxi that may or may not one day become active. + +3. Added to some regex compares \Q$VAR\E to disable regex characters in strings. +I should have used that a long time ago, oh well, better late than never! + +4. Found a horrible case were xdpyinfo uses 'preferred' instead of the actual +pixel dimensions, shame on whoever allowed that output!!! shame! Had to add +a workaround to make sure numeric values are present, if not, then use the +fallback, which means, 2x more data parsing to get data that should not +require that, but in this example, it did (an Arch derivative, but it could +be xdpyinfo itself, don't know). + +Enhancements: +1. More fixes on issue #185. Thanks tubecleaner for finding and provding required +data to really solve a set of RAM issues that apply particularly in production +systems. This issue report led to 2 new options: --memory-short, which only +shows a basic RAM report. + +Memory: RAM: total: 31.43 GiB used: 14.98 GiB (47.7%) + Report: arrays: 1 slots: 4 modules: 2 type: DDR4 + +And a 2nd, --memory-modules, only shows the occupied slots. This can be +useful in situations where it's a server or vm with a lot of slots, most empty: + +Memory: RAM: total: 31.43 GiB used: 15.44 GiB (49.1%) + Array-1: capacity: 256 GiB slots: 4 EC: None + Device-1: DIMM 1 size: 16 GiB speed: 2400 MT/s + Device-2: DIMM 1 size: 16 GiB speed: 2400 MT/s + +Note that both of these options trigger -m, so -m itself is not required. + +2. More disk vendors!! The list never ends! Thanks linux-lite hardware database +and users for supplying, and buying/obtaining, apparently every disk known to +mankind. + +3. Added fallback XFCE detection, in cases were the system does not have xprop +installed, it's still possible to do a full detection of xfce, including toolkit, +so now inxi does that, one less dependency to detect one more desktop. + +4. Added vmwgfx driver to xorg drivers list. Note, I've never actually seen this +in the wild, but I did see it as the kernel reported driver from lspci, so it +may exist. + +Unfixed: +1. Issue #187 EnochTheWise (?) did not supply the required debugger data so there +is a RAID ZFS issue that will not get fixed until the required debugger data is +supplied. Please do not waste all our time filing an issue if you have no +intention of actually following through so we can get it fixed. + +Note that a key way we get issues here is from Perl errors on the screen, which are +a frequent cause of someone realizing something is wrong. This is why I'm not going +to do a hack fix for the RAID ZFS issue, then the error messages will go away, and +it will likely never get handled. For examples of good, useful, productive issue +reports, and how to do them right: #188 and #185, both of which led to good +improvements in how inxi handles corner cases in those areas. + +----------------------------------- +-- Harald Hope - Wed, 14 Aug 2019 10:47:47 -0700 + +===================================================================================== Version: 3.0.35 Patch: 00 Date: 2019-07-15 |
