[EN] New inxi ready for beta testing
« on: 2018/03/05, 23:59:16 »
I've been working the last few months on the new inxi 3.0.0 release, which is a massive change.

Change one is inxi is moving from Gawk->Bash to Perl 5.x. Tested on Perl 5.08 to current 5.26. Design requirements remain the same: inxi 3.0.0 must run on everything anywhere no matter how old, which for Perl means 5.08 is the oldest realistic Perl release.

For development purposes, inxi 2.9.00 is called pinxi, so that inxi and pinxi can be run next to each other easily on the same system. I refer to bash/gawk inxi as binxi to avoid confusion.

To download and run pinxi:
Code: [Select]
wget -O /usr/local/bin/pinxi https://github.com/smxi/inxi/raw/inxi-perl/pinxi
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pinxi

Update to latest patch release: pinxi -U

inxi-perl branch home page:
https://github.com/smxi/inxi/tree/inxi-perl

I have only a few things more to do, so I thought I'd get some beta testers, if any are around, now.

Unlike other projects who release the new major version in a raw alpha state condition, pinxi won't be released as inxi 3.0.0 until it is at least feature complete and bugless re inxi 2.3.56.

Note that essentially everything in pinxi has been changed, it's much faster than binxi, from around 50% to 400%, depending on the feature being run and the hardware.

it's also maintainable, and debuggable, which binxi is not. I'd received a few issue reports for various features that I literally could not do with the convoluted data structures I had to use to make gawk talk to bash, but those were fairly easy to resolve in Perl.

All the basic args are the same, plus they all have long forms now, and there are several new options, like --slots (pci slots); --usb, along with more customizable features, and better configuration options.

One of the biggest problems with binxi was the line width logic, which was just a bad hack that was super hard to do, the new pinxi has very smart width handlers, and also uses some space optimizations for narrow screens, so 80 column widths 'just work'.

To give an idea of the speed difference of the line printers, you can run
Code: [Select]
time inxi --help
real 0m1.537s
user 0m0.828s
sys 0m0.529s

vs
time pinxi --help
real 0m0.382s
user 0m0.337s
sys 0m0.071s

I may do some more internal speed optimizations, I did a lot earlier in the process, and I may do more once I have the stuff feature complete.

Note the following:

pinxi will support json/xml output options, the internal data logic is there, but the output feature isn't built yet.

pinxi will support language packs, for much of its output strings, that's been designed in, but is not yet implemented, mainly because I want to stabilize the key/value sets so I know what the translator would need. Basically people interested in providing such language support would use a template language.pl file, which would have all the values possible to translate. Pinxi was designed from the start with this potential in mind, something that was totally impossible to do with binxi.

Main signs of bugs:
A spray of 'undefined $val1' errors. I have left this in on purpose because it shows me where I've failed to properly test data being sent to the printer. That error will occur right before the line, and you'll probably see a blank item in one of the values for the keys of that line, which would tell me where the error happened.

The debugger is likewise enhanced.

Visually the main difference you'll see is most places where data was appended like key: something (extra) the (extra) has been moved to a dedicated key value pair, so it would be like so: key1: something key2: extra

This is required for reasonable json / xml output, plus it's more clear.

All actual bugs will be show stoppers for the 3.0.0 inxi release, since I will follow the debian stable strategy of fixing all bugs before, NOT after, release, which is the way all software should be released in my opinion.

I've tested this on FreeBSD so most issues are resolved, but I don't have full access to bsds, can't for example read dmesg.boot data so there's a real restriction on what I can test for and debug.

BSD support is significantly enhanced, and all features have at least stubs for possible future bsd support. I've also discovered that at least OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD support non root battery, sensors, and hardware data. Those stubs will be completed at some point, but since none of that works now in binxi, I don't consider those show stoppers, though I may end up fixing them if I can get access to bsds that have those values in sysctl -a or from some other source.

As always, feedback, issues, bugs, all are appreciated. My goal is to have a seamless pinxi -> inxi release.

User config files do not require any changes, and use the same syntax as binxi, so nothing has to be changed there, though there are many new config options available, those are still not documented on smxi.org/docs/ but soon will be.

Current pinxi 2.9 man page:
https://smxi.org/docs/inxi-man.htm

Current pinxi 2.9 options:
https://smxi.org/docs/inxi-options.htm

I'm looking to get this completed quickly because I've been working on it way too long, and have to get back to other things, but I will certainly fix all issues before 3.0.0 is released.

On an advanced level, I've been using Perl execution optimizers, which allow nano second analysis of the program execution, and basically what it comes down to is that about 90% of pinxi execution time is caused by running subshells for commands (and the initial import of a few core Perl modules), reading files is 10 x 30x faster, and reading ram data is of course fastest. Perl itself is insanely fast, so there's a limit on how much I can really gain in pinxi re speed by optimizing the perl itself, the real win is getting rid of any unneeded subshell execution and replacing it with a file read or something like that. The worst culprits so far are lsusb, which is almost comically slow, though I have to recheck the stuff to find what new optimizations might be called for.

Note you can run --sleep 0.1 or --sleep 0 to get rid of the CPU pause prior to getting cpu speeds, the current delay is I think 0.35 seconds, which usually lets most systems spin down enough to reflect non pinxi cpu speed state.

pinxi --recommends will show what needs what. That's also completely redone, and much improved, since now it does not show GNU/Linux users BSD options, and it doesn't show BSD users Linux only options. Basically except for perl 5.08 or newer, pinxi has no dependencies, just recommends. though for best WAN IP speeds, I do strongly recommend installing dig. Package install advice is also enhanced, and now only shows for the package manager present.

pinxi uses only core Perl modules for its main features, though it will use a json and xml module probably for export, but that will only matter for users who want to export the data.

290-0349-p fixes a wide range of bugs and errors. There were issues with starting pinxi with sudo, now resolved, and another bug reporter found an issue starting it with su -c "pinxi -v7"

Those are resolved now.

290-0351-p fixes a further range of cpu core count bugs, and some other stuff you are less likely to see.

Try updating and see if these issues are corrected, they look similar to what you show here, thanks.

I know I just fixed the failure after RAID, I got that myself today.

The $if error is not clear yet, I'll have to look into that. The actual error data is now suppressed by testing better that the $if is actually found, so that will resolve the errors there, but I'm unclear why pinxi decided that a dvb tv device is a networking device in the first place. Or rather, why lspci -nnv shows it as a network device.

It is a card, but I would think it would be a graphics card. That might require some custom fixes to move from network to graphics, where it belongs from what I can see. Or maybe it should be in a different category.

towo, yours is the first bug free output I've seen in beta! Of course, I've seen my own systems, which are all debugged, but so far, it's the first one on forum bug threads that had no obvious bugs.

Hi goingeasy. There's no ram error, you have to be root to get ram report.

I'll take a look at the lspci error, it might be a path thing. I'm assuming the Suse has lspci installed, right?

Assuming this was a simple path issue, 0354-p should fix that suse thing, assuming it has lspci installed in the first place. It should, since pinxi checks all that initially, but it didn't store the paths, so if the path was like in /sbin, it would have failed. These are all corrected now.

Code: [Select]
Made: /home/goineasy9/.local/share/pinxi  <-- Only appears on first run
It's being polite and telling you it made the config etc directory, but good eye to catch that, I'd forgotten that feature.

Can you also check on suse: pinxi -r

those things change a lot over time so I want to make sure repos still is working on suse.

Hi h2

1) Yes, openSUSE has lspci installed.
2) If one needs to be root to get RAM support, is that memory report different from what's on the INFO line?

that's a relief re pinxi -r on suse, great, thanks for confirming that. But it appears there's a small glitch with that empty slack line.  what is:

Code: [Select]
cat /etc/zypp/repos.d/slack.repo
You can see the various memory options like so:

pinxi -m
pinxi -tcm
pinxi -mtcm
pinxi -I
pinxi -bm

as you see, the memory line moves around depending. The default is the -I line, if -I line is not being used, it gets printed on whichever line printed it first.

the memory use line is memory, I should maybe rename the memory line to RAM, but it was originally called memory so I probably should not change it.

-m is memory ram report, which requires root. The regular memory total/used report does not require root.

I added the 2 google repos and the openSUSE OSS repo .  The 2 google repos because they resemble the slack repo, and, the OSS repo for comparison.  The difference I noticed was with their "type".  All repos were installed through Yast, except for the 2 google repos and the slack repo, which were downloaded manually and installed using zypper.

290-0360-p should now work correctly with suse. they changed the order of the fields, so I had to make the looper build slightly differently to make sure the title and repo url were always included.

I think that will work, not positive.

I don't think you need to worry about that. The manufacturer of the card already says in the description that this card is recognized under the network cards.   ;)
