So yea, works good, more stuff to learn ....    ;)   Thanks for this

Cool!   :54: You're welcome  :55: You can add more options to that:
Code: [Select]
inxi -SyCrMmDG
where:
C = how full CPU output, including per CPU clock speed and CPU max speed (if available).
M = Show machine data. Device, Motherboard, BIOS, and if present, System Builder (Like Lenovo).
m = Memory (RAM) data.
D = Show  Hard  Disk  info.  Shows  total disk space and used percentage.
G = Show Graphic device(s) information, including details of device and display drivers.
add xx at the end for more verbosity, you can have it like xxxx, yes, that's x four times! Just be careful when sharing in forums and the like. Read man inxi for more info.
By the way, I know why you got that error. I use my terminal with a custom size and its wide open, you're probably using the default size, and the y option changes that, from
Code: [Select]
man inxi
Quote
-y, --width [integer]
              This is an absolute width override which sets the output line width max.  Overrides COLS_MAX_IRC / COLS_MAX_CONSOLE globals, or the actual widths of the terminal. 80 is the
              minimum width supported.  -1 removes width limits. 1 switches to a single indented key/value pair per line, and removes all long line wrapping (similar  to  dmidecode  out‐
              put).

              If no integer value is given, sets width to default of 80.

              Examples: inxi -Fxx -y 130 or inxi -Fxxy or inxi -bay1
 
I forgot about that, sorry, my bad, so try again but remove the y or change the terminal size increasing its width, and by doing that you should get no errors.  :55:

I found my problem, some of the bash scripts had python3 in them which for some reason I must of got rid of so it couldn't find python3.
I made a soft link to point python3 at python3.6 so now they are working. 

I ran you inxi -Syxx command but it returned Error 21: Width option requires an integer value of 80 or more.
You entered: xx

I looked at the command syntax and it seems like a very powerful command. At first glance I could not figure out what the
yxx respresented but I would like to get familiar with it. Seems like a good way to get system information from the command line.

Anyways thanks for responding.

You're welcome :) Glad you solved it. You shouldn't be getting that error, anyway, what those options do:
Sy = System info; Host, DE, Kernel in use, WM, distro, display manager, OS type(32 or 64), compiler (gcc), toolkit(GTK+, QT).
xx = adds more verbosity to the output.

By the way, I missed the r option, I wanted to see the output of this
Code: [Select]
inxi -Syrxx the r option is for repo, it gives info about those present in your system. I thought there could be something, but you figured it out for yourself and seems it has nothing to do with that :)

Can you post the output of
Code: [Select]
inxi -Syxx run that in a terminal, then copy/paste the output in your reply.

Hello,

Running LL 4.8 but in system is says Debian GNU/Linux buster/sid
which may raise a red flag to someone in the know.

I am finding that some of my gui menu apps are not launching
for example, firewall, gufw, printers.

Don't know what I did but I did upgrade from LL 4.4 to LL 4.8
a little while ago but I don't know if I have used these items after
the upgrade till i just found some are not launching.

But the common thread between the errors i am getting is that some of
the python modules that the intrepreter is looking for are missing like
gi and dbus

I am using Python3.6 is the python version being used for the python scripts.

If any of this sounds familiar I am all ears, otherwise I will spend a couple of days on it
and see if I can figure it out.

Thank in advance
Joe

I know this is not much info but if it sounds familiar I'd be all ears.

Thanks
