For those of you who are following my blog / twitter feed you will know that I am involved as Documentation lead of the Torios project.  Over the past weekend I made a big stride in this.

• Added the screenshot for the Jwm window manager settings manager
• Added a section on testing and included some instructions on how to test a virtual box vdi hard disk image
• Added information on how to create a flash disk.

There is still some work to do on this but I am getting there and hopefully this information can be synchronised with the online wiki manual.

We are still in internal testing phase at the moment but we should hopefully be able to release a pubic pre-alpha very shortly after which we will be seeking more feedback from user testing, so if you are interested please sign up.

If you can help in other ways please get in touch with the project leaders, details can be found on the website.  Ideally you will have a launchpad account which you will need to enable to you sign up to the main discussion list as well as edit and contribute to bugs, blueprints etc.  If you need help please ask.

If you are unsure what launchpad is please go to the website here. Or visit the Torios launchpad project portal.

Notes on early testing in virtual box seem to suggest that having 256 mb of RAM provides a nice quick system.  As this is a replacement for Windows XP which is now end of life.

Latest news can be found here.

IRC (chat) meeting schedule can be found here,  don’t worry if you don’t have an irc client I have added a web based interface to the channel

One of the nice things about hangong out on IRC and or with Linux user groups is you get to find out about all sorts of hidden gems.

INXI is one such gem. : https://code.google.com/p/inxi/

It is a full featured system information tool or as the website describes it “A newer, better system information script for irc, administration, and system troubleshooters.”

i believe this is installed by default on Mint and a few others for xubuntu you need to install it

sudo apt-get install inxi should do it

As with all or a vast majority of Linux commands there is a man page

man inxi

so what can it do

Well , to get some basic system information up you can use the -Sx argument

Source code

$ sudo inxi -Sx
System:    Host: ER1401 Kernel: 3.13.0-30-generic i686 (32 bit, gcc: 4.8.2)
           Desktop: Xfce 4.11.6 (Gtk 2.24.23) Distro: Ubuntu 14.04 trusty

One of the more non system features is one that can give you info on local weather

Source code

inxi -xxxWTorquay,Uk
Weather:   Conditions: 70 F (21 C) - Partly Cloudy Wind: From the South at 16 MPH Humidity: 78%
           Pressure: 29.98 in (1015 mb) Location: Torquay (UK) Altitude: 0 ft 
           Time: August 5, 4:52 PM BST Observation Time: August 5, 4:20 PM BST

Which is useful you can also invoke this from IRC clients with

/exec -c inxi -xxxWTorquay,Uk

for example which then executes within IRC, (not all channels appreciate this)

One of the ideas of this program is to provide people with system information so they can help you

of course you can send out put to a file with

/exec -c inxi -xxxWTorquay,Uk > output.txt
