inxi on RPi
Thought I'd try to get inxi working on RPi, but no luck. Not sure if it's something doable considering the barebones nature of the board. If there's interest let me know and I'll run some test cases. Here's the output of my first attempt:

My Raspberry Pi is on the way, what OS are you using?

am I missing something? looks like inxi is running, and working.
Post the output of inxi -@ 7 -@ options override the built in error masking component, and exposes what actually failed and that is what you need to know to see what is not working. All required apps seem to be working. nodmi data is fine, older installs tend to not have that in the kernel, latest kernels may have more information. -@7 and less turn off error suppression, and you can see what line the error occurred on or before.

I'm running debian on the RPi:
uname -a Linux raspberrypi 3.1.9+ #90 Wed Apr 18 18:23:05 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux I ran inxi -@ 7 like you suggested and got an out of memory error. As reported in htop the RPi has 186MB memory and I've set up a 127 MB swapfile. While running inxi I opened up another terminal to watch what was going on with htop and found gawk was using almost all the memory and swapfile. inxi ran out of memory after running for 225minutes (yes you read that right, almost 4h). Of interest cpu never went above 20% as reported by htop. And that was with 2 ssh terminals and inxi running. Back to top |

Interesting, I'd say you hold the current record for how long inxi takes to execute on a platform.
I run inxi on an old laptop with 192 mB ram, while not fast, it runs fine, that's a 200 mghz speed demon. Takes about 15 or more seconds to do an inxi -F for speed comparison. The debian it runs is Etch, nothing newer will fit, and with flux box and no large apps, ie, mostly console tools with xchat and a few other gui things, it runs fine, relatively speaking. So I'm wondering if something else is up there. Try shutting down the desktop if you haven't done so already, then running inxi with the error reporting on, as above, and see if that improves it.
