Don't forget to regularly upgrade your inxi script so new features are incorporated.
Latest versions (ie post antiX-M11 release) has some great new features such as showing which desktop environment is used, which xorg is used, usb networking cards, and a lot more!

To upgrade, simply type inxi -U in a user terminal or if that doesn't work in a root user terminal.

Error 17: All inxi self updater features have been disabled by the distribution
package maintainer. This includes the option you used: -U

the update feature is disabled in the debian package, to enable it, try this.

========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"https://code.google.com/p/inxi/wiki/inxiFAQs#List_of_Frequently_Asked_%28or_%27Could_be_Asked%27%29_Questio"
linktext was:"https://code.google.com/p/inxi/wiki/inx ... 29_Questio"
====================================

on my system, i removed the inxi package and i installed the script the classic way.

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/bin && wget -Nc smxi.org/inxi && chmod +x inxi
and i run the inxi -U command, when ever i need a new version of the script.

Thanks dark-D, that did the trick. I presume that when Debian updates the script it will need doing again.

Also etc/inxi.conf - change false to true

## We want to use the distro to track the package
B_ALLOW_UPDATE=false
