6.2 error msg after in place update

[Tim Curtis]

Code:

RPI_GPIO_VER=$(grep -iRl "RPi.GPIO-" /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/ | awk -F "." '{print $3 "." $4 "." $5}' | cut -f 2 -d "-")

Confirmed, (almost) immediately… takes now only 1.527 seconds 

Nice :-)

New problem rises with system info...

Opening System Info on a mobile phone => layout could be better by shifting text to the left… :-)

Sysinfo is actually designed to output text to the terminal and so to render it in HTML the <pre> tag has to be used. This renders the text as-is.

If Sysinfo were frequently used in mobile scenarios I'd consider rewriting the code for HTML/CSS formatting but I'm guessing it's not used that often.

Too bad you think like that about this… At the office I use an old mobile phone all the time i.c.w. moOde. Only now I see the problem because I was using portrait mode on my cell.
At the office the old phone is sitting in a sort of docking station, but in landscape mode...

But imho this is what makes your software look professional...

I always figured I'm an outlier but I use the sysinfo function a lot because at any given time I may have three or four players running different hardware/software configs because of tests, etc. I tend to lose track of what hostname I gave each. I just grab whatever computer or mobile device is closest to get the info, anything from a modest-sized mobile phone to a desktop with a large monitor.

+1 for this. Tim's attention to detail shows up in so many places and like you I think it is a mark of professionalism.

Given his fabled ToDo list, of course, it always comes down to which item should be taken care of today, tomorrow, ....

It's simple really. Just make a strong case that sysinfo should get developer time. its a lot of work to rewrite it and so I need more than just "it looks bad on mobile portrait" which is an infrequent usage scenario.

Zen...

10 minutes to find the file to be corrected
5 minutes to remove the unnecessary "\t" on each line.
Not bad for a Linux noob like me :-)

You're hired! Name your salary ;-)

Yes the tab hack can be done and maybe it's not really necessary after all to rewrite the script to output HTML. I'll take a look.

With a free lifetime subscription to moOde, I'll be OK...



This is all I did: sysinfo.sh

And in there I also changed microseconds int µseconds to make it fit the width of my cell phone
