Fix RAM type not showing on FPS counter in Linux - #1041
Conversation
- Hello there! If you know me, i am Stefan2008 (aka. ACoolioDude) and i decided to fix RAM type on Linux by telling engine to execute pkexec and fixed code (not using AI at all!) and fixed byte thing because it caused to simply give different bytes and not giving actual system RAM value, so hope this gets merged!

If you have any questions, ask! |

Hm, I'm not exactly sure. Perhaps this can be opt-in through a define? I personally really don't want to run anything in Codename with root privileges on my own PC, nor do I think we need to introduce any dependency on Polkit. |
Hi there. Unfortunately there is no other way to get this working, but it is what it is. I tried my best |
This should at the very least be possible, it's possible to run rootless $ inxi --ms

I think i should see to get that working |

Do not merge this yet! I am currently busy and i will try to get rootless method working |

Ralty drafted your pr, since it's still wip. |
yes, thank you Captain Obvious |
|
Just letting him know (in case if drafting didn't notify him) anyway, bruh. |
I just disabled notifications on Gmail because they bother me sometimes |
|
Ah make sense |
@r6915ee I got it working with inxi method |
- Using pkexec gives root access to game which can cause security issues which people don't really want that!

The `--mm` flag filters out devices with no module installed, unlike the `-m` flag, which would just place a warning that the module was not installed... right in the type field, for that matter.
|
It works correctly. However, it gets the first device type, not the first installed module type, so 
It might be a good idea to replace the

Replace `inxi -m` with `inxi --mm` when getting memory type on Linux
A, yes! You're right. Mine just showed LPDDR5 with |
Now you can merge or if there's any issue, just say. I may not reply if i get any answer because i am gonna be busy |

Hello there! If you know me, i am Stefan2008 (aka. ACoolioDude) and i decided to fix RAM type on Linux by telling engine to execute pkexec (you need to have policy polkit rule and any polkit package in your distro in order to get this working otherwise engine will ignore if you don't have polkit installed and now show total RAM text in framerate) and fixed code (not using AI at all!) and fixed byte thing because it caused to simply give different bytes and not giving actual system RAM value, so hope this gets merged!
