This is great stuff. Thanks.
Now, there are plenty of inxi users with tiling wms such as wmii, dwm, awesome to name a few. Can they be detected? If so what info do you need? Back to top |

re adding wm, this is what I need:
the name of the windows manager, let's call it: tvwm then: output of: xprop -root while IN the windows manager session. Then: the version data, this is usually found by this: tvwm --version If the wm is actually run by another one, like lxde is run by openbox, or fluxbox is run by blackbox, I also need to see the container wm --version Currently supported: gnome kde 3.5, 4, 5 xfce 4,5 icewm fluxbox lxde openbox blackbox (but not re versioning, can't find that) pekwm awesome fvwm fvwm-crystal twm (no versioning available) If N/A is returned in X, that means inxi can't recognize anything about the wm in its current state. You can just enter all the data in a new thread, it's not going to take much room up, the: xprop -root output is not very long for small wm Back to top |

I need the --version, I'll assume it works, the version function only works with --version, not -v.
If it's the same, don't worry, if it doesn't work, let me know. I do read that correctly, that there is no space, rather a dash? amazing.... it never ceases to amaze me how many different ways projects can find to show simple data. dwm-5.8.2, © wmii-3.9.2, All other projects use name number or some version of that, sigh... here it's name-number... so I'll have to add explicit handling for that, grrrr.

:: Code ::
dwm --version usage: dwm [-v] wmii --version wmii: fatal: usage: wmii [-a <address>] [-r <wmiirc>] [-v] More bad news :) Back to top |

And added trigger to change default --version if dwm/wmii in get_de_version function, sigh.
However, I can't really complain about this, it's only in this release that inxi supports --version either, this is actually one reason I added that. anticap, update and let's see some sample output. Back to top |

come to irc.oftc.net #smxi now, takes too long to do this.
I fixed the scrotwm by adding it, and also added a space test pre twm/dwm because those are short non-unique search terms Update, no new version number so far. let me see: ps aux | grep twm or ps aux | grep twm when running scrotwm the failure to show -v data for dwm I assume means it has a space, to test for spaces etc in output do this: data="$( dwm -v )"; echo ":$data:" this reveals unexpected white spaces. need to make sure the twm has a space in front of it and not the system path. I changed it a bit, but if you have more issues, please find me on channel #smxi so we don't have to spend all day debugging desktops etc. Back to top |

I posted in irc. Hope you got the info.
Just in case: :: Code ::

it appears that both scrotwm and dwm have a bug with their version output.
Rather than use this slow method, which is no fun for debugging, let's meet on IRC when we can both be there. The logic follows whatever you posted, so failure to work is caused by something else. Both should be showing version information, in other words, unless you didn't update inxi. As you can see, the output works fine: :: Code :: echo 'welcome to scrotwm v1.2.3' | gawk '/welcome.*scrotwm/ {sub(/v/,"",$4);print $4}'
1.2.3 so I'm guessing other perverse causes like scrotwm and dwm actually returning the stuff as an error not straight stdout output. Back to top |
