inxi wiki

The primary documentation for the inxi project has been moved to a permanent stable home: smxi.org/docs/

Because it took way too long to move the googlecode wiki HTML into cleaned up real HTML, and because wiki logic generally is just weak and kind of pathetic in terms of standard web development concepts, I'm not going to support any wiki data beyond this single page, so please do not try to create a standard wiki here.

The following are the resources available for inxi support, help, documentation, etc.

  • smxi.org inxi documentation - inxi has a lot of stuff going on in it, documentation helps.
  • inxi installation instructions - various install options for inxi. Most distributions have inxi packages, but not all of them update it routinely.
  • inxi options - explanation of the inxi options. This will usually be fairly up to date because it's quite simple to get an html version of the real options.
  • inxi man page - html version of the inxi man page. Note that this will generally lag behind the real man page because it's messy transforming the man page to html.
  • inxi support forums - post actual discussion type issues here, or use the issues tracker here, makes no difference, except the forum will be way more sticky and visible over time.
  • inxi issue tracker - use the github issue tracker/bug reporter to report issues/bugs.
  • inxi IRC support: irc.oftc.net channel #smxi - sometimes IRC support is faster or more efficient.
  • For git, the following branches are of interest:
    • master - the master main branch. No other version of inxi than the current one in master is supported, so please upgrade your inxi to current before posting any issue or bug reports. See the installation instructions for how to do that.
    • tarballs - a weak effort on my part to create a history of inxi. It's a collection of tarballs going back pretty much to the start of inxi, but they are randomly updated, and are NOT a reference point for packagers. They are a reference point for me and for anyone interested in how inxi grew and developed, nothing more.
    • docs - this is the collection of html/css files that you'll find the inxi documentation in at smxi.org.
    • one - this is a development branch, and is linked to by the inxi -! 11 updater, if there's a development version.
    • bsd, gnubsd, two, three, android - these are rarely used development branches as well. two is updated locally by inxi -! 12.
    • xiin - this is the great trash80 debugging tool, that lets inxi collect enough data to debug your issues.

If you have edits or changes for the smxi.org inxi documentation, you can file an issue here. The pages are in git here for your convenience, but please do not put those live anywhere else or google gets confused about which are the real versions. And please don't turn them into wiki pages elsewhere, people tend to do that once, then it gets stagnant and stale, but google doesn't know which is the real version, so please stick to the real documentation always.

inxi debugging data requests

If you file a bug report, or issue, you will probably be asked to create and upload the inxi data debugger gz file. inxi uploads it automatically when you run the following command: inxi -xx@ 14 the -xx part of it uplooads it, the -@ 14 part creates the actual debugging file.

You are probably unlikely to get support in any real way if you are asked to provide this debugger data and don't do it, because the support time is cut by between 10 and 100 times on our end when the full debugger data is available, so if you won't provide it, we probably won't help you.
