Os system info

how will i get informantion about linux operation system by comand

btmiller · 06-07-2014, 11:57 AM

The the "uname" and "lsb_release" commands. Also look for files with "release" or "version" in their name in /etc.

For system info look at the /proc/cpuinfo file, also see the "free", "lspci", and "lsusb" commands.

Your question is super-vague, though. What exactly do you want to know?

jamison20000e · 06-07-2014, 12:36 PM

Hi, 'man' can teach you more about those commands so

Code:

man uname

also you could download (or cut\paste) this script https://github.com/KittyKatt/screenF...creenfetch-dev make text file called screenfetch-dev(no suffix\extension like .txt tho it will actually be a shell script due to contents

) put it in /home/someDIRECTORY then run

Code:

./screenfetch-dev

from that directory, here is mine minus the color

Code:

conky (my current setup in one OS http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...0/#post5181205-conky-under-the-ⓢ-ascii-art) from your package manager is another fun one and grate if you want it up all the time as a start-up script? P.s: I run conky manually and can kill it or reboot... best wishes and have fun.

Jamison, that looks like a very cool program. I just downloaded it using the wget command. When I used the wget command, it put a file in my home directory "screenfetch-dev". I was wondering if you could provide the code for the following step you provided:

Quote:

make text file called screenfetch-dev(no suffix\extension like .txt tho it will actually be a shell script due to contents )

When I did

Quote:

type screenfetch-dev

It says that it is an HTML document, UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines

jamison20000e · 06-07-2014, 02:40 PM

If when you open the file with a text editor or the cat command it looks like

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# screenFetch - a CLI Bash script to show system/theme info in screenshots

then your done just run that as above from the downloaded directory so

Code:

bash$ ls
Desktop other files and folders listed ;) screenfetch-dev

bash$ ./screenfetch-dev
{...snip}

or in that directory

Code:

bash$ bash screenfetch-dev

'sh screenfetch-dev' doesn't work?

jpollard · 06-07-2014, 03:38 PM

Nope - there are a lot of bash specific strings in there that are not POSIX compatible.

jamison20000e · 06-07-2014, 04:18 PM

OK, it gives an error

Code:

bash$ sh screenfetch-dev
screenfetch-dev: line 3349: syntax error near unexpected token `>'
screenfetch-dev: line 3349: `                           exec 3> >(stderrOut)'

but as it works other ways I did not concede; thanks.

On the website, click "Raw", to get a plain text version with no line numbers, then copy and paste in any text editor, save as screenfetch-dev, chmod +x it, then run it.
I've put mine in ~/Scripts, and an alias in ~/.bashrc.
P.S.
Also look at lshw, hwinfo, and hardinfo, for system information. Should be available for any distro.

jamison20000e · 06-08-2014, 11:09 AM

Here are some more in a script a new member is working* with: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...0/#post5181675

frankbell · 06-08-2014, 08:29 PM

If you want a GUI interface for system information, there's a nice program called "hardinfo"--it should be in the repos.

l33y · 06-08-2014, 09:26 PM

Your advice worked brilliantly, BrianL. Thanks again for the awesome script Jamison. I was curious BrianL, when you said

Quote:

Does that make it appear automatically when you log into a terminal?

No, only when I run it. Here's the alias:

Code:

alias sfdev='~/Scripts/screenfetch-dev'
