That took care of it for me VastOne.  In Xfce it now runs for me without root priveleges.

@jedi, was that done on another partition that you had not run this on before?

Code Select Expand

export PATH="$PATH:/sbin:/bin"

[VastOne]

This is very strange... all that

Code Select Expand

export PATH="$PATH:/sbin:/bin"

code is doing is adding /sbin:/bin to what is already there...

I need another test

For someone in Xfce who has not done anything yet to simply run from terminal

source ~/.bashrc

Then try to run inxi -F again to see if that corrects it

[jedi]

This was on my go to partition.  I had run inxi before but in Xfce it always wanted root priveleges.  I'd never tried it in OB.  I only ran inxi out of curiousity when I read the original post.  Today I saw your response, tried it, and now no root priveleges needed.
I can log into another partition and experiment if you need me too.  Still have 3 other "test builds" installed on sda5-sda8...  And it hasn't ever been ran on them....

Jed - "re" read your bash script and the last thing in it was a command: archey

That's why you see it.

OK, I'm going back to "my system" now.
