System Info - Copy to Clipboard #3569

Closed anandrkris closed 7 years ago

anandrkris commented 9 years ago

This would be much useful in reporting the system details while asking for help in forums, etc. Moderators often ask people to provide the output of commands like 'inxi - Fx' from terminal, but copy option using GUI could be handy instead avoiding the terminal route for new comers.

This system information details also could be enhanced perhaps to include other details.

https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/1973 - Not sure if changing to inxi would fix this?

clefebvre commented 9 years ago

The base idea is good but I don't think it's useful to have a copy-to-clipboard button here.

I'd rather see an expander or a button to show a full inxi output in a textview which the user can copy if he wants to.

Note also, that the info on that screen isn't enough to troubleshoot anything.

@clefebvre - Yes, the main issue was that details could not be selected as text. My original issue mentions inxi as well although earlier I wasn't sure where details were getting pulled from internally. I assumed it wrongly to be restrictive output of inxi till I saw [wrong info issue] .(https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/1973 ) (Agree, it wasnt much but at least had GPU details IIRC, without which I would not have known that I had two of them - Optimus setup)

It sometimes irks me that people suggest the terminal route to new users. I mean, even in cases where Mint has designed and built specific tools. For instance, add-apt-repository instead of recommending Mint Software Sources to add PPA. Anyways, end of rant.

Looks like now we have a xapps common library that allows uploading all relevant details still would like to see full output instead of limited info.

I'll close this for now and it's almost implemented.

I tried to show the inxi output in a textview, but it's very messy.

anandrkris commented 7 years ago

You mean System Info shows detailed output like inxi -F ?
