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, isn’t 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? That’s 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
|
||
