After formatting a flash drive then rebooting I can only boot into terminal mode. I can run inxi but I don’t know how to copy all that in terminal mode, transfer it to this (different) computer for this question. Help.
If networking is still functioning you can use a paste service
ex;
inxi -Farz | curl -F 'file=@-' https://0x0.st
You can similarly export to a file.
ex;
mhwd -li -l > mhwdoutput.txt

the curl example gives "curl: (6) Could not resolve host: 0x0.st.
The second example I can get to print on a flash drive, the file shows in the Desktop directory, but when I move the drive to laptop it is not seen. I seem to be striking out in every direction.
Then something is wrong, like you do not have internet.
I dont know what you mean here. The file cant just disappear.
Are you booting an ISO from the usb? A fresh live environment every time? Then I guess it would make sense.
In any case … you want to create the file, then save or move it if the save location is somehow not persistent.
I’d recommend Just putting it into a file. (command > out.txt)
We are all confused why this doesn’t work, with your given information.
With a live boot, it’s a temporary filesystem. But you can send it off to another host with scp or whatever you want. Or you can just have out.txt on a mounted volume.
Which should be already there, since you are still booting your root volume?
I’m working (e.g. this message) on my laptop. My desktop is the problem. I don’t know how to get the mhwd output to this forum without putting it on a flash drive in the desktop, then moving the flash drive to the laptop where I can then copy it to this message string. When I look at contents of the saved mhwd file it does not look like it has done anything except record some arcane messages. So I wanted to send that info to here but when I put the flash drive in this laptop the file is not there. No file name, nothing.
I’m wondering if I would be better off reinstalling the theme?
Not booting an ISO from the usb. The file should be there. I’m doing something wrong somewhere, confusing all of us. It’s wearing me out; I’ll think about it awhile and take a fresh stab at it tomorrow. Thank you.
Have you put in the Desktop directory on your desktop, instead of on the USB drive?
The state of your desktop is unknown, but you said it boots (to a TTY). So everything is working, but your desktop environment? But things you are saying are hinting else-wise…
So how did you create, but especially, how did you copy/transfer this file? (And what are “arcane messages”?)
Do you have an ethernet cable connected (which I’d normally expect for a desktop) or is it WiFi?Ethernet should work from TTY.
Also, is this a Ventoy USB with space to store files on? This is what I’d recommend for the purpose.
If it’s a regular .ISO “flashed” to the USB using the usual tools such as dd etc., then nothing you “save” on it will persist.
I’m running mhwd -li -l > /king32/mkwdout and all I get in mkwdout is:

What am I doing wrong?
You are doing nothing wrong - that is the output of that command,
mhwd -li -l
written to that file.
> yourfile
works as intended …
four times is enough now - you posted the same thing four times
see my previous post/answer to your question
you did nothing wrong - the command works as expected

~~no, not the same thing with this again, please
You have got to check the resulting post - and responses.
I’ll report it now.
I did not post 4 time intentionally – I kept getting a message, when I hit Reply, that an error occurred.
I found the way to delete posts – I think I have cleaned up the duplicates.

yet you could have checked - you see it now when you scroll up - don’t you?
The error might have been:
you can’t post two consecutive replies
but we don’t know what the error was …
Do you have anything substantive to contribute?

possibly - but now, after this particular and possibly just “rhetorical” question, I definitely will not contribute anything more to you and your issue
and:
I already did, BTW - you just didn’t notice
Thank you.
you are welcome
