Application Usage:
Once the app is opened, click on the white penguin icon that has been added.
Clicking on it will display the following options:
Preferences Window:
In this window, we can enable or disable displaying the device, choose whether to auto-start on system boot, set the icon to black, and choose to receive notifications via
Slimbook Notifications.
System Information Window:
It's a summarized version of the operating system's characteristics and some additional information.
Notifications Window
It will show a history of received notifications. If there are any pending, the Slimbook Service icon will appear with a blue circle.
To generate the report file, go to the terminal and type:
slimbookctl report |
A .tar.gz compressed file will be generated in the /tmp folder containing various files with all system info. This can be especially relevant for testing, checks, or providing information to technical support. It will omit certain private information, such as the Wi-Fi networks accessible to the device, MAC address, or motherboard serial number.
To obtain the complete report, use the following command:
slimbookctl report-full |
The icons that appear after the generation of each file indicate whether they have been successfully generated or not:
The file has been generated successfully
The file hasn't been generated as it wasn't necessary (e.g. because we launch the partial report instead of full report)
An error occurred while generating the file
