Hi. For those running a headless system, consider publishing an agnostics-cli package with just the command line interface and fewer dependencies (viz. libgtk etc)

The following additional packages will be installed:
adwaita-icon-theme at-spi2-core dbus-user-session dconf-gsettings-backend dconf-service fio fontconfig glib-networking glib-networking-common glib-networking-services gsettings-desktop-schemas gtk-update-icon-cache hicolor-icon-theme ibverbs-providers libaio1 libatk-bridge2.0-0 libatk1.0-0 libatk1.0-data libatspi2.0-0 libboost-atomic1.67.0 libboost-regex1.67.0 libboost-thread1.67.0 libcairo-gobject2 libcolord2 libcroco3 libdconf1 libepoxy0 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin libgdk-pixbuf2.0-common libgfapi0 libgfrpc0 libgfxdr0 libglusterfs0 libgtk-3-0 libgtk-3-bin libgtk-3-common libgtksourceview-3.0-1 libgtksourceview-3.0-common libibverbs1 libjson-glib-1.0-0 libjson-glib-1.0-common libnuma1 libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libpangoft2-1.0-0 libproxy1v5 librados2 librbd1 librdmacm1 librest-0.7-0 librsvg2-2 librsvg2-common libsoup-gnome2.4-1 libsoup2.4-1 libwayland-client0 libwayland-cursor0 libwayland-egl1 libxkbcommon0 mousepad
After this operation, 121 MB of additional disk space will be used.

And a command /usr/bin/agnostics-cli that runs /usr/share/agnostics/sdtest.sh

The SD card speed test in agnostics doesn't work on the first generation Raspberry Pi devices, aka Pi 1. I've tried 256MB and 512MB variants and both have issues.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start up agnostics from the menu within the Raspbian desktop.
2. With the "SD Card Speed Test" test selected (which it is by default), press the "run test" button.

Expected output:

Progress dialog appears while test runs, then main window displays PASS or FAIL.

Actual output:

Progress dialog appears briefly, then main window displays "Not Run" in the result column. On the Pi with 256MB, after a delay of a few seconds, the mouse pointer becomes sluggish for a few seconds, then goes back to normal. On the Pi with 512MB, after a similar delay, the mouse pointer becomes sluggish for a few seconds, then stops. The Pi becomes completely unresponsive, although it does still appear to be responding to pings over the network.

I tested on both Pis with the same SD card - a micro SD card in the adapter it came with. This SD card is know to be working fine and had previously been used on a Pi 4B 4GB without issue. The card was imaged with the latest version of Raspbian, and brought fully up-to-date using apt, rebooted, then agnostics was installed using apt. The same OS image was used to test both Pis.

I expect the Pi Zero is also affected, but I don't have a spare one to test this on.

Log file from Pi with 256MB:

Test : SD Card Speed Test

It looks like fio is having trouble for some reason.

Other users have also reported this issue on the forums - see thread at https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=268397

install path is hardcoded in data/sdtest.sh, line 7:

RES=$(fio --output-format=terse --max-jobs=4 /usr/share/agnostics/sd_bench.fio | cut -f 3,7,8,48,49 -d";" -)

if you install it somewhere else, like in /usr/local, then it fails finding sd_bench.fio (which then is in /usr/local/share/ not in /usr/share/)

Following the build instructions in the README (without --prefix), the program builds correctly but when executed, sdtest.sh fails with "fio: unable to open '/usr/share/agnostics/sd_bench.fio' job file" because this file is stored in
/usr/local/share/agnostics. Program erroneously considers this a PASS result.

I'm currently experiencing slowness with my pi zero and I wanted to test if it's related to a slow SD card. Came across this new tool and tried to run and realised it's on a UI application. It would be good to run just via the CLI.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ agnostics

Is that Pi for people who're agnostic?
