Setup: GLPI v9.3.3 with FusionInventory 9.3+1.2

FusionInventory Agent has been run as root. Connection and inventory (fusion agent <-> GLPI) work OK - my desktop was added in GLPI but without displays connected to this (I have connected two the same models of Monitors). Which informations are important to diagnose this issue? FusionInventory Agent installed on my desktop Ubuntu 18.04 from source.

From agent log file run in debug mode:

Used graphic card: nVidia Quadro 2000 with nvidia driver.

Read EDID is possible by 

xrandr --prop -d :0 | perl -ne '
if ((/EDID(_DATA)?:/.../:/) && !/:/) {
  s/^\s+//;
  chomp;
  ;$hex .= $_;
  print $_ . "\n";
}'

Using this tool https://github.com/rpavlik/edid-decode it is possible to decode EDID data with display serial number.

Hi @mariaczi which agent version are you using ? can you report the output of get-edid command run as root ?

mariaczi commented 5 years ago

@g-bougard, sure. Outputs bellow. Agent version:

Can you report the output of your xrandr --prop -d :0 | perl -ne ... command ? Using xrandr is maybe the only way to obtain the EDID informations in your context (nVidia Quadro 2000 with nvidia driver). But maybe another command can do the job. The problem I see with xrandr is we have to first know which display to look at (option -d). And we need a solution to find all connected monitors even if X is not started. I see in your log output looking for edid files under /sys/devices is not useful too.

I use two monitors - the same model. I think, that it is possible to use ":0" for "-d" option to xrandr. It is default generally :)

mariaczi commented 5 years ago

Maybe the better version for grabbing displays data with xrandr:

xrandr --prop -d :0 | perl -ne '
if (/ connected /) { print $_; }
if ((/EDID(_DATA)?:/.../:/) && !/:/) {
  s/^\s+//;
  chomp;
  ;$hex .= $_;
  print $_ . "\n";
}'

And teh output:

I know that, but this is not a generic solution and this will probably not report connected monitors if you're not logged in. It would be nice if Nvidia tools can be useful. I quickly find nvidia-settings or nvidia-smi could help but I didn't find any output with edid and I don't have any one to test.

mariaczi commented 5 years ago

I'm searching too and trying nvidia-settings and nvidia-smi but I can't find the useful output from this commands :(

not report connected monitors if you're not logged in.

I try to check this tomorrow and back with the result of test.

mariaczi commented 5 years ago

It's true. We can't get info about displays using xrandr. I logged on remotely on desktop with nvidia card and using proprietary driver, X are started but no one is logged in to the X session.

$ xrandr --verbose
Can't open display 
$ xrandr --prop -d :0
