Inxi: Artifact to get Linux system and hardware information

Guide

In this article, we'll see how to use Inxi to get these details. In the Forum technical support, it can be used as a debugging tool to quickly determine the user's system configuration and hardware information.

Inxi is a command-line tool that can obtain complete information about system and hardware details, including the following:

1. Hardware
2. Cpu
3. Disk drives
4. Xorg
5. Desktop environment
6. Kernel
7. GCC version
8. Process
9. Memory consumption
10. and other useful information

Installation Method

Inxi is in the default repositories of most modern gnu/linux operating systems. So we can simply run the following command to install.

in a Debian-based release:

sudo apt-get install Inxi

in Fedora:

sudo yum install Inxi

in a Rhel-based release:

To install the Epel software repository:

sudo yum install epel-release

Then install Inxi using the following command:

sudo yum install Inxi

How to use

Run the following command at the terminal to obtain general information about the system.

Inxi

Example output: [Success] CPU ~ Core Intel Core i3-2350m CPU (-HT-MCP-) clocked at Min:800.000mhz Max:1200.000mhz Kernel ~ 3.13. 0-45-generic x86_64 up ~ 6:41 Mem ~ 1537.7/3861.3MB HDD ~ 500.1GB (52.5%used) procs ~ 183 Client ~shell Inxi ~ 1.9. [/success] Of course, we can get details of a specific hardware. For example, to get sound/audio hardware details , you can run the following command:

Inxi-a

Example output: [Success] Audio:Card:Intel 6 series/c200 Series Family high Definition Audio Controller driver:snd_hda_intel sound:advanced Linu x sound Architecture ver:k3.13.0-45-generic [/success] Similarly, you can get details about the graphics card .

Run the following command to obtain the complete hard disk information.

Inxi-d

Example output: [Success] DRIVES:HDD Total SIZE:500.1GB (52.5% used) 1:id:/dev/sda model:st9601325bd size:500.1gb [/success] Displays BIOS and motherboard details:

Are you surprised? Yes, it can.

Inxi-w Erode,tamilnadu

Here Erode is the region,Tamilnadu is a state of India. Example output: [Success] weather:conditions:79 F (+ C)-Clear time:february 4, 6:00pm IST [/success]
