Not an inxi issue, it’s believing what /sys tells it, which itself is believing what the battery tells it.
In this case the error is obvious, the current charge value has been swapped with the original charge capacity value.
You’ll see gibberish values now and then, but that’s usually caused by faulty reporting by either the system or the battery. I had a dead battery which I was testing the other day, and it initially happily reported itself as being at 111% of original design capacity, but sadly, it was simply dead. A few restarts and unplugs later, it reported itself I think at 100% of design capacity, but it was dead. The parts of that it got right were the voltage, which was below minimum, and the current charge, which was zero, since it’s dead.
I’d say these types of misreportings are maybe more than anything else a hint that there may be an issue with the battery, or the battery management chip, which I think is often inside batteries. Usually it’s some nonsense value, but in this case, it’s pretty clear that teh current charge value is being swapped by the design capacity value, but that’s happening before /sys and inxi do anything with that data almost certainly.
Battery:
ID-1: BAT0 charge: 48.8 Wh (144.8%) condition: 33.7/48.8 Wh (68.9%)
@rokytnji: Something seems a bit off with your battery charge percentage.Battery:
ID-1: BAT0 charge: 48.8 Wh (144.8%) condition: 33.7/48.8 Wh (68.9%)
@rokytnji: Something seems a bit off with your battery charge percentage.This I think is a case of an unexpected result pointing not to an inxi bug or error, but a possible hardware issue or error. Or the battery could always have had this glitch, batteries and their electronics are weird creatures.
One easy test is to just leave it plugged in long enough to make sure of full charge, then unplug it, and check with the machine every 30 or so minutes to see how long it runs for unplugged. If it’s a very short time, the battery is failing, but still has x percent of its design capacity, if its’ a fairly long time, then it’s probably just confused. Also, you can just run it down, to zero, then recharge it, then check that number again, if it still insists the current charge is equal to the design capacity, then it’s just an electronic glitch in the battery, the downside is you won’t be able to determine its state of charge that way.

I am running antiX 21 on a Dell Latitude D620. I increased the RAM from 3GB to 4 GB (two 2 GB sticks). However, the available memory is only 3.17 GB.
The Bios Setup shows the following:
Memory installed= 4096 MB
Memory available= 3319 MB
Memory Speed= 667 MHz
Memory Technology= DDR2 SDRAM
Note: Due to an amount of memory being assigned for system use, Memory Available is less than memory installed.Below is the result of inxi -Fxz:

The partition installation.
When things come to partitioning, or to how and where to install linux. what partition where to put(mount 😉 ) , ANTIX really shine.
Yes, making things in table form, with predefined paths needed for installation, is the best solution!!!
Does it have place for improvement – yes, very small, something like a scheme what where to have, just for dummers, and for very beginners.
But let me share my opinion about other installers in this field – partitions.
Some of the installers like 4 fedora, alma, mandjaro, are like a dummy kid. You select a partition, you add a name / mounting point, you pick format or not, and you add it, and it dessapear 🙂 .
Or in debians – it just not let you even pick a place / drive to mount home folder separately.
And all of them INSIST to format the swap partition, which happened to be formatted, just a frendly remark, don’t alow reformat of swap, or you have to go through all installed distros, and have to edit the /etc/fstab
This is it – if you want a linux, and you want to NOT REFORMAT your disk, or delete some data, you must start with ANTIX.
Everything else is to go on the roads with traps.May 5, 2023 at 1:32 am #106014Forum Admin

Just a hill billy guess. Maybe zram included with swap would fix this.
I use zram on one Dell laptop.

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problemsMay 4, 2023 at 10:23 pm #106002MemberPelucia Siffred
PPC, disabling swap does not clear the contents of it, the bits remain there until they are overwritten.
Robin is right, you need to use dd command to overwrite the data with random values.
Thanks.May 4, 2023 at 4:27 pm #105980MemberRobin
but it *should* clean up the contents of your swap.
No. You’d need to overwrite the drive area multiple times using dd with random characters and signs, before recreating the new empty swap on it. Otherwise a true security specialist will easily recover the former plain text content. But, for this task of secure deletion you’d need to ask your security expert, since there is no recipe working for all drive types the same 🙂
Windows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.

So it seems, that, for your particular security needs, antiX was “broken”.
I can’t help you to get an encrypted swap file, it may even not be corrently possible: please see the top of this link (a warning dated from 2017) https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/64551/how-do-i-set-up-an-encrypted-swap-file-in-linux#64569
It seems that if you want encrypted swap, the best way to go is using a partition…Edit: if all you want is to make sure that a particular person does not get his hands on the contents of your swap, I have a low tech way to go about it: a shortcut that closes all running windows (there’s a script for that on the forum), then disable swap and enable it back on. I have not tested this, but it *should* clean up the contents of your swap.
You can run this script at log-off, or every time you want. It’s a compromise between security and ease of use, and you get to keep using a swap file (that I think will be the default in antiX’s future).Since my time here is limited, I probably won’t be able to post on this thread any longer… Best of luck!

Hi PPC,
I want an encrypted swap file because I type a lot of passwords on my computer (email, enfs, veracrypt) and my computer is shared with multiple people. One of these people is information security technician and can take the passwords I type by inspecting the Swap file. I read on the internet that it is possible to take a lot of information from the swap file, including passwords that are typed on that computer.
Simply tell me not to use encrypted swap doesn’t help at all.May 4, 2023 at 10:35 am #105941MemberPPC
You wont probably like my opinion:
– If it isn’t broken, don’t try to fix it…Disable the swap (you mentioned file, but the same should apply to a partition), replace it with a non encrypted one, re-enable the swap, be happy…
Why do you need an encrypted swap? Are you a journalist/spy/mobster/terrorist? I can see the value of having data on an encrypted partition or even a protected folder/volume (yeah, I use those), but an encrypted swap partition? As you can see, it’s more trouble than it’s worth…P.
Edit: I read the “Why” section of the link you provided. Nope, I still do not think it’s advisable to encrypt a swap file, and I also deal with sensitive data, now and then. I never had a drive that was inside the warranty period fail on me- that’s partly because I only ever owned a new computer twice in my life. If a drive has to go “back to factory!” I think it will probably get trashed. I don’t think it’s probable someone trying to recover data from a broken drive, just to see if there’s something juicy, not unless you are in one of the categories I mentioned above. If you are… Hum… if you have encrypted data and someone really wants it, there are ways to making you talk and give away the password…
I noticed the instructions were at least half a dozen years old… they may be a bit outdated…- This reply was modified 1 week ago by PPC.

I used a swap file in antiX-21 and everything worked perfectly fine, however I decided to replace the swap file I was using with an encrypted swap file and the system started to have problems. Now my computer freezes when it starts swapping making the mouse and keyboard stop working, the only thing I can do is hard reset. I setup encrypted swap file following this tutorial: https://web.archive.org/web/20160504140513/http://hydra.geht.net/tino/howto/linux/cryptswap/
I already tested with two different kernels (5.10.57-antix.1-amd64-smp and 4.9.0-279-antix.1-amd64-smp) and the problem happened with both. My hardware configuration is in the attached file.
Does anyone know of any settings I can use to try and fix this?Attachments:

I am running antiX 21 on a Dell Latitude D620. I increased the RAM from 3GB to 4 GB (two 2 GB sticks). However, the available memory is only 3.17 GB.
The Bios Setup shows the following:
