Then this. I think I'm doing it wrong. I can't fit the entire thing into a screenshot.

I think I got it! I just need some time to figure it out. I'll remember it better that way though

 

[wizardfromoz]

OK, the Timeshift one is good.

Give me a minute and I'll come back, don't post until I say, please

@Condobloke

If you have a second, would you look at this? Wizardfromoz had to step away for a minute. If I did this right. I'm really proud of myself!

Scratch that, our member has not seen my post yet.

Back in a minute or two

No problem. I'm getting free help after all!

We got this....

but....the shot of the inxi -Fxxxz.....is not clear...fades away at the bottom etc etc

Scratch that, I have more in a minute - Wizard

So....run inxi -Fxxxz ....

Then at the top of that screen, you will see : File....Edit...View....Search.....terminal....Help....

Click on Edit ...select,,...SELECT ALL (the window will change...possibly to white....

Click on Edit again....and select Copy

Then comeback to this thread.....and right click in the usual reply box and select paste

Give me a second. I got half way there. In my humble opinion, that's still progress to proud of!

You did fine but too small for us to read.

Following is better with text from Terminal

1. Close Terminal (type exit), wait a few seconds, open Terminal
2. input inxi -Fxxxz (long output)
3. Go to Menu - Edit - Select All (output gets highlighted)
4. Right-click anywhere in the highlighted part, choose Copy, don't do anything else yet
5. Come back to your reply pane in forum. On the toolbar choose the 2nd of 3 lots of vertical dots and choose for more Options, choose Code.
6. Then right click in the Codes and press Paste

I'll show you a screenshot in a moment.

You're doing fine

 

[wizardfromoz]

But we have missed the top part, which is important.

 

[wizardfromoz]

I've finished with Gecko for now, will boot into Virginia

 

[Sherri is a Cat]

This doesn't look the same as what I'm seeing in the terminal

 

[Sherri is a Cat]

I'm going to start over from the beginning

 

[Sherri is a Cat]

I keep getting the same results when I paste it using the code option

 

[wizardfromoz]

I'm in Virginia now (the distro, not the state)

 

[Sherri is a Cat]

Am I supposed to type (long out)? I get a syntax error if I do. If I don't, I keep getting more results than what is being pasted into the forum using the code option

I'm in Virginia now (the distro, not the state)

I think I remember there being an area in Australia called Virginia?
