Should you desire to know the expected output from inxi -Gxx, and share it, the
inxi author has implemented a tentative fix to the recently discovered 6 year old
problem. This is his instruction:
cd /usr/local/bin && wget -O pinxi smxi.org/pinxi && chmod +x pinxi
Probably this requires a root login to correctly execute. pinxi is the beta
version of inxi, so your test would be:
pinxi -Gxx
The author is likely interested to see your result should you proceed.
https://github.com/smxi/inxi/issues/214 is the relevant bug report about this.
