Hello,
I earlier read a thread wherein @caprea suggested to share an inxi output as
inxi -zv7I opened a terminal and entered that inxi command. It does seem to be very comprehensive, but a little different than my regular inxi command of
inxi -FxzrWhat are your opinions as to the best inxi command to suggest for new antiX users asking for help here on the forum? Is one better or more complete for the helper than others?
I will defer to @caprea. I will play around and add “r” to get the repositories. MX uses an even different inxi command.
Suggestions?

I usually use and ask
inxi -FxzI don’t suspect many new users usually mess with the repositories.
This one gives a good starting point on the hardware to begin trouble shooting.

@Seaken64: It really depends on what information you want to emphasize.
I usually use -Fxz and that’s sufficient for most information.
-zv7 is used to obtain network IP data and the z adds a security filter for the IP address (and filters information for other numbers and location information).

When you use -G you get graphics, -F is the general full information, -I shows process and/or memory information…
Man page provided me the info…

In the end, it is often not so important which inxi command is communicated, the main thing is that one is shared at all.
But indeed, sometimes I prefer inxi -zv7 or inxi -zv6 for hardware problems because they reveal the chip ID of the audio card, the graphics card and especially the network card, which can be very helpful in finding a solution.
So like Brian mentioned, it depends.Brian Masinick
Yes, this has been an informative discussion. I was already well aware that -F provides full, general information, with the z filtering out personal information. I also recognized that we use -G when we want to look specifically at graphics cards, but before looking at the documentation, I did not realize what the v options did – as Caprea notes, he likes to look at either -zv7 or -zv6 to find out detailed information about audio, graphics and network cards.
Between these three groups of options, you can gain quite a bit of information, but there is more, if you want to hone in on other details without necessarily viewing all of the other details.

Just copying some other inxi commands from my general linux notes – some of these might be helpful to someone – of course you can combine more than one command:
inxi -b system, machine, CPU, graphics, network, drives (HDD total), info (procs,uptime, mem)
inxi -d drives
inxi -f CPU – type, cache, current clock speeds @ core, CPU flags
inxi -x or -z CPU – type, overall speed spec, kernel, uptime, mem, HDD, procs, client
inxi -h help – lists inxi output control options, & their combinations
inxi -i network – lists cards, if & state, wan ip
inxi -l partition – details for /root & /home partitions on /dev/sda
inxi -p partition – more complete details for both /dev/sda & /dev/sdb
inxi -m dmidecode memory data
inxi -o unmounted
inxi -r repos
inxi -s sensors
inxi -u partition (includes UUIDs) for /dev/sda
inxi -w weather (at present time)
inxi -Fxxzc0 key info on machine
inxi -G graphics cards- This reply was modified 1 year, 3 months ago by mikey777.

- (2007) Packard Bell Easynote MX37 (ALP-Ajax C3) – dual CPU Intel T2310@1.46GHz, 2GB RAM. Graphics: Silicon Integrated Systems.I think I like the -zv7 the best. It seems to include everything that is in -Fxz but in more detail. Am I right about that? I can’t find anything missing with -zv7. In fact, I like the layout better, especially with memory near the top instead of at bottom. I like to add the r to show the repos since sometimes an errant repo can cause trouble.

No issues with that if it gives you what you want. I’d say that the
-zrv7 options would have just about everything and the only ‘downside’ to that is it’s a lot of information; however if you are looking for everything, that’ll do it without a doubt!--

Brian,
“OpenGL: ” ie nothing. Whats up with that? I also get the same when using inxi (nvidia legacy 340.xx driver). Is this a fault of inxi or do we really not have opengl support?Brian Masinick
OpenGL: renderer: Mesa Intel UHD Graphics (ICL GT1) v: 4.6 Mesa 21.3.3
direct render: YesWith the settings I provided, this is what it generates. This is not high end hardware by any means and I don’t have fancy graphics.

Brian MasinickAfter trying it, the command
inxi -zrv7will be better for diagnosing hardware issues on the antiX forum threads.
