This is what I've done so far.
Added: A question to start the process
            Progress bar to display messages as the report continues
            A question to display the results
Problem is next:
            $HOME environment variable prints out /root when the script is run with 'gksudo'
If we have a script

Code:

#!/bin/bash # This script is /usr/scripts/some_script echo $HOME

and run it with gksudo we'll get

Code:

$ gksudo /usr/scripts/some_script /root

So it's saving the report in the '/root' directory

Solution:
              Running the script with 'gksudo -k /usr/scripts/systeminfo'
From man gksu
--preserve-env, -k

              Preserve the current environments, does not set $HOME nor $PATH,
              for example.


Here is the full script:

Thanks misko. Have you considered using YAD for the gui?

[anon222]

Yo're welcome
I personally like YAD, but there is no way of telling when the development of YAD will end.
If that happens, and we have GUI tools that depend on it, then we would have a big problem.
Zenity is more likely to stay, so we are staying with it.
Cheers

[Mike]

Good to know! Thanks. Will you be putting these in some kind of VCS so that we can submit patches?

[Mike]

Also some notes about the script:

* It would be nice if it saved the text file in the same location as the script itself
* Unfortunately, it didn't open a dialog at the end to ask me if I wanted to open the report
* Typo in the dialog title: says "sytem" instead of "system"
* It did not produce BIOS and Motherboard info for me
* For some reason the columns aren't showing correctly in the Software Installed Information section of the text file. It looks fine when I run dpkg --list in the terminal though.

The script is ment to be the part of OS in /usr/scripts
You don't want to have your report in that location.
* Unfortunately, it didn't open a dialog at the end to ask me if I wanted to open the report
Strange, xdg-open should open it in a text editor.
* Typo in the dialog title: says "sytem" instead of "system"
Thank you. Fixed.
* It did not produce BIOS and Motherboard info for me
Did you start the script in a terminal?
gksudo -k /path/to/the/script
* For some reason the columns aren't showing correctly in the Software Installed Information section of the text file. It looks fine when I run dpkg --list in the terminal though.
That's how the script works. The same thing is with the current one. Find it in the Whisker menu. It's named 'Create System Report'.

[Mike]

Ah, ok - that makes sense. Some of those issues could be related to me not running them as superuser.

[valtam]

This is awesome! Any chance we can get the text file to pop up in a zenity text info box at the end?

Some cosmetic changes, code changes, report now save to /tmp etc...

Nice! I like that, Jerry. Should these changes be tracked in Github or is this sort of the testing place before putting it there?
