hello dear community

how to get as much info about the HardWare via Terminal?

background - i installed Eos on desktop - but i am facing some weird issues with the graphics

in other words the machine did not show any screen content after 30 min.

after restarting - it showed all to big - in other words - it lost the whole graphic-setup.

so i need to get more infos - which graphic-card etc. etx . i run in this setup - for the further investigations…

are there any apropiate commands here - that help me here - eg. in listing up all the hw!?

look forward

btw: see here

the display data - /(pixel etc etx. of the monitor got lost fundamentally
i dunno why

note: i run a IIama pro-lite B2475HDS

btw: see even more

You can use inxi, here is the man page which you can retrieve in the terminal too.

Hi @otrott
As @Zircon34 indicated inxi command is powerful enough.
I myself use

inxi -Fxxx

To get all details I need about my system, the kernel,… etc.
I hope this helps.

hmm guess that therer is something wrong here.

hmmm - on the way back to “normal” i think i have several options:

question: can this be helpful!?

cf:

Hi, I’m recently installed endeavouros xfce & I facing an critical issue!
I’m trying to changing my screen resolution using xrandr but when I shutdown->open my pc again it goes back to the previous state :sob:
before I was used ubuntu based distro, where I used these commands below to save screen configurations permanently…
**:~$** xrandr
**:~$** cvt 1280 1080
**:~$** sudo xrandr --newmode “1280x1080_60.00” 115.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1080 1083 1093 1120 -hsync +vsync
**:~$** xrandr --addmode VGA-1 “1280x1080_60.00”
**:~$** gedit ~/.profile

now how can I do this same thing on endeavouros? there is no .profile file & I’ve tested… it doesn’t work on arch based distro :sweat:

well i think that i have to setup the resolution and afterwards i have to observe the “behaviour” of the system . - look if it is stable

at the moment i have fancy resolution

I commonly use autorandr to save/retrieve my screen configs. Sometimes in combination to arandr to set the screen config.

hi thank you
set this to 1280 to 800 (16:10 ratio)

and saved it.

now i will have a closer look if this is permanent and saved - even if i switch off the computer and re start it again .

What I normally do is just pull up my terminal and chose my named profile, for example

autorandr home

You can also load automatically your profile by using

autorandr --change

But would need to load that command at login. I think by adding it to your .x profile config file or similar.
