Is this me, or a problem with the script? Thanks

Yes I'm getting that too. I'm pushing fix right now.
line 6 is a comment with the letter "ô" in my name

We have a problem, Ubuntu ships with /etc/debian_version, so it outputs twice

I've just upload a fix for this.
I have also added the screen resolution support with xrand (it work for me). Check here ( view or download).

I'm quite new to Arch (it's my first setup on non-virtual machine) and I encountered a problem. When I was trying to run archey I saw :
http://www.speedyshare.com/files/239604 … _scrot.png

I tried to do something with lsb-release but it can only identify that I'm using Arch and nothing more.
Can anybody help me.

You get this error because the file /etc/lsb-release need to be specific tu ubuntu (remove it from arch pacman -R lsb-release).
The index out of range error is due to the fact on ubuntu system this file have more than only one line.

sudo pacman -R lsb-release
wget -O archey http://paste.projet-libre.org/index.php/view/download/19264872
sed -i 's/\r$//' archey
chmod +x archey
sudo mv archey /usr/bin/

Thank You, that was exactly what I was looking for.
BTW thanks for great explanation ;]

melik · 2010-08-26 22:24:52

Did some work on Archey.

- Re-did the distro detection; archey now requires 'lsb-release' package.
- Changed the Ubuntu logo as the older one was too large.

Pushed it to github. if any bugs are found, please report it here.

Minor problem. When trying to update from AUR with an AUR helper, it doesn't work as lsb-release does not exist in any the AUR or the Repos.

Yeah, archey won't upgrade for me because lsb-release can't be found, although if I search I can find it in the community repo, but pacman won't get it:

$ sudo pacman -S lsb-release
error: 'lsb-release': could not find or read package

Yes because an idea murdered all those people, right? /sarcasm

I will get around to a fix for that lsb-release bug. Thanks for reporting.

Edit: Should be fixed, lemme know if you guys still run into problems.

Are you folks sure your mirrors are up-to-date and everything? For me pacman -S lsb-release just worked as it should..

Well, since I found out about this with an update, yes, they are up to date, at least according to pacman.

EDIT: Switching Mirrors fixed it.

@ melik

Just dropped by to thank you for making "archey" available for other distributions.

Here's a screenie of it running on #! Statler (Debian)

Interesting, I'm NOT running Xfce just OpenBox and using Terminator not xterm (I guess terminator is a shell for xterm)

Once again: Thank you! it's a really nice app.

You're welcome Screenie looks good, credits go to Kittykatt for the crunchbang logo.

Yes, if archey detects xfconfd running; it will identify your DE as Xfce. I'm assuming you have xfconfd running because crunchbang uses Thunar and other Xfce tools, correct? You can just edit the script and uncomment the 'DE' field if it bothers you.

And yes Terminator merely emulates xterm.

Yes, actually #! Statler comes in two flavours, OpenBox and Xfce, so it makes sense that some xfce would be in the OpenBox version, and it doesn't really bother me, I've been doing some reading up on it and I understand why xfce there.

@ Kittykatt - Thanks for the #! logo in archey.

Welcome. You should check out screenfetch, too. Me and melik bounce each others' scripts off each other all the time for new ideas. xD

But that would be off topic and then I would have to tell you I get an error on line 181 and it doesn't recognize #! Statler.

I couldn't possibly do that in the Archey thread. I do have another screenie of archey doing it's thing though:

Awwww heck, thanks kittykatt - see the Screenfetch thread

Hi people.

I kinda rewrote archey. I wanted to make it python3 compatible, and decided to make it object oriented at the same time. You might want to have a look at the code. I didn't include multi distro support, but I've made it very simple to extend. Anyway, if the archey people want to use it, they might find it usefull too look at (much less global data, sane layout of code, user customization without editing the script, much DRYer, etc. etc.). It isn't much prettier, I will readily admit, but imho, it is a stronger platform to go forwards on.

In the face of the upcoming python2->3 migration, it can be found in the aur under archey3.

Thanks,

Laurie

How did I miss that. Fixed, thanks

As previously stated, checking if xfconfd is running, is not a proper way of detecting Xfce. For example I'm using xfwm4 standalone and it needs Xfce. So, the correct output should be "WM: Xfwm4, DE: None Found".

A proper way of doing this could be checking if xfce4-session is running, which will always be there if the DE is running.

Sorry, I haven't been active lately; been really busy with school.

I pushed your suggested fix up to github, go ahead and run an update from the AUR package; and it should run fine.
