Linux System Stats Script

[OP Haggis 976]

Well after seeing Alsi for Arch i decided to do the same for Fedora

started this last night for about an hour or this is what i have so far

[OP Haggis 976]

no interest in this? lol

[ncc50446 71]

I finally got Fedora installed on my laptop again and setup, so I do look forward to this :) Always fun to add to the screenshots lol

[OP Haggis 976]

wee update

[OP Haggis 976]

automatically takes the screenshot and saves it in the home folder called Screenshot_currentdate.png

[OP Haggis 976]

I could do with a couple of people to test this as i go along, anyone up for it?

Other distros are now welcome too

[ncc50446 71]

Sure, I'll give it a try :)

[OP Haggis 976]

cool pm me and i can get you a link or email you it :)

[OP Haggis 976]

getting there

[n_K 1,519]

Haha that's pretty nifty! Though what is with your titlebars? Can't make it out at all.

[OP Haggis 976]

just the theme never got around to fixing it lol

fancy testing the little script?

[n_K 1,519]

I'll give it a try but just remember I'm on arch :p

[OP Haggis 976]

only thing that won't work for you is the image ascii

do me a favour post me the result of echo $DESKTOP_SESSION

[n_K 1,519]

GNOME

[OP Haggis 976]

I thought u had cinnamon

[n_K 1,519]

I've got a mix of gnome 3.4/3.6 packages on the main desktop and cinnamon on the laptop. Also got CDE on here too which I need to get round to removing at some point haha.

And aye, needs changing to work with arch;

Ok know about the packages thing forgot all about that so will work on that

what does

cat /etc/*-release[/CODE]

give you on ur system

[OP Haggis 976]

arch seems to be the only distro with nothing in the /etc/*-release folder

I suspect I know the answer already, but why take a screenshot? If I wanted to save the output I could just pipe pipe stdout to a file.

(not that I want to take anything away from your script, this could actually be a pretty useful package if you could get it working cross platform).

[OP Haggis 976]

it started off as just a screenshot script

but the more i work on it the more it turning into a cross distro script lol

[OP Haggis 976]

Wondering if i can get the following people to test

need people with

Unity

Openbox

MATE

Cinnamon

Gnome

KDE

and then need the to run the script and send me a screenshot

[OP Haggis 976]

no one?

[Karl L. 275]

I will try to help if you post a link, but no promises. I'm a bit busy for the next couple weeks.
