Requesting a new tag for the 'Site Help & Feedback' section #inxi

Well, it’s not much different from the “normal” way to do it:

  1. Open a terminal
  2. If a toolbox does not yet exist, type: toolbox create (followed by the enter key)
  3. Type toolbox enter
  4. Type sudo dnf install inxi
  5. Type inxi -Fzxx
  6. Select the instruction, the complete output of the inxi instruction and the following prompt with the mouse. Right-click on the selected text and chose; copy
  7. On the discussion forum, in the answering window click the spot in the text where you want to insert the text, then type CTRL-v (paste)
  8. Again, select the complete text you just inserted, and click the
    Screenshot_20260211_134325
    button in the toolbar of this window.
  9. To exit the toolbox and return to the normal terminal window, type: exit.

Explanation:
In point 6) I wrote to include the command itself and the following prompt as well. This to show which instruction, together with the used options is used, and the prompt shows that this is the end of the output. This to make the story complete.

Is this something you can use? As you see it is not much different than working in a regular Fedora version.

Ok thanks a lot. I will write a separate section to use with toolbox. This means 1, 2 , 3 & 9 are different. Rest is the same.

I would say nr. 1 is also the same cause you need a terminal to start inxi. :grinning_face:

As I mentioned, I’m not entirely sure if the inxi command is useful specifically for Atomic Desktops and image-based systems in general, where the first troubleshooting step is sudo rpm-ostree status (or sudo bootc status). Anyhow, I don’t think it’s necessary to write a separate section. For Atomic Desktops, as step 0, just refer to Toolbx explaining that the command needs to be installed in a Toolbx container.

It would be a tag which forwards into a topic as we had when ask and discussion have been separate instances. With #start-here it was forwarding in the topic like:

Welcome to Ask Fedora! Please read me first!

Now i would like to make the same for the tag #inxi . There are a lot of new users which come to fedora and necro post without reading enough to se how we work here. Assuming Windows is equal Linux … You can see in the topic i made that the list of links I posted get bigger and bigger without having something in common (underneath of main post ). I guess a tag into a topic would avoid adding links there, right?

Can you please tell me if it is possible to do such a tag sole in discourse or do we need to create a dns forwarding? If yes I will make a ticket in infrastructure to achieve that. However the tag needs to be created in Discourse and made not select able in the ask category.

I officially call the Admins as proposed by @kevin :slight_smile:

@mattdm, @nb, @rwright

To give instructions how to proceed.

27

I’m an Admin only in that I’ve been working on the Data/Query tools in the background. The platform’s permissions makes it easier to query the DB if an admin. :slight_smile:

If needed, I can help - but I am not one to make changes to the system as I’m not sure the governance of how the system changes are approved to be made! :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

28

That is the point :smiley: If I would know, I probably would have gotten a clear yes or no already. So I am on-hold … till kevin shows up again :joy: and thells me to call @mattdm .

We do test it in the moderation section and will give feedback when the feasibility study is made :wink:
