Inxi: Find System And Hardware Information On Linux
================================================================================
We already have shown different [applications][1] and ways to find the system and hardware information on Linux. In that series, today we will see how to find such details using **inxi**. It can be used for forum technical support, as a debugging tool, to quickly ascertain user system configuration and hardware.
**Inxi** is a command line tool that can be used to find the complete system and hardware details such as;
- Hardware,
- CPU,
- Drivers,
- Xorg,
- Desktop,
- Kernel,
- GCC version,
- Processes,
- RAM usage,
- and other useful information.
### Installation ###
Inxi is available in the default repositories of most modern GNU/Linux operating systems. So, we can simply install it by running the following commands.
**On Debian based system:**
sudo apt-get install inxi
**On Fedora:**
sudo yum install inxi
**On RHEL based systems:**
Install EPEL repository:
sudo yum install epel-release
Then, install inxi using command:
sudo yum install inxi
### Usage ###
To find the quick view of the system information, run the following command from Terminal.
inxi
**Sample output:**
CPU~Dual 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~1.9.17
Ofcourse, we can retrieve a particular hardware details. For example to retrieve the **Audio/Sound hardware details**, run the following command:
inxi -A
**Sample output:**
Audio: Card: Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Family High Definition Audio Controller driver: snd_hda_intel
Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ver: k3.13.0-45-generic
Cool, isnt it?
Likewise, you can retrieve the details of **Graphic card** information.
inxi -G
**Sample output:**
Graphics: Card: Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller
X.Org: 1.15.1 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) Resolution: 1366x768@60.0hz
GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Sandybridge Mobile GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 10.3.0
What about harddisk information? Thats also possible. To view the full **harddisk** information, run the following command.
inxi -D
**Sample Output:**
Drives: HDD Total Size: 500.1GB (52.5% used) 1: id: /dev/sda model: ST9601325BD size: 500.1GB
To display the Bios and Motherboard details:
inxi -M
**Sample output:**
Machine: System: Dell (portable) product: Inspiron N5050
Mobo: Dell model: 01HXXJ version: A05 Bios: Dell version: A05 date: 08/03/2012
Not only hardware details, it can also displays the **list of available repositories** in our system.
inxi -r
**Sample output:**
Repos: Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ubuntu.excellmedia.net/archive/ trusty main restricted
deb-src http://ubuntu.excellmedia.net/archive/ trusty main restricted
deb http://ubuntu.excellmedia.net/archive/ trusty-updates main restricted
deb-src http://ubuntu.excellmedia.net/archive/ trusty-updates main restricted
deb http://ubuntu.excellmedia.net/archive/ trusty universe
.
.
Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intellinuxgraphics.list
deb https://download.01.org/gfx/ubuntu/14.04/main trusty main #Intel Graphics drivers
Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linrunner-tlp-trusty.list
Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wseverin-ppa-trusty.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/wseverin/ppa/ubuntu trusty main
Inxi will also display the Weather details of your location. Surprised? Yes, It should.
inxi -W Erode,Tamilnadu
Here **Erode** is the District and **Tamilnadu** is a state in India.
Sample output:
Weather: Conditions: 79 F (26 C) - Clear Time: February 4, 6:00 PM IST
### Viewing Complete Hardware details ###
Tired of finding each hardware details? Well, you can list all details at once using command:
inxi -F
