There is a small but powerful tool that I was not aware of and that can be extremely useful: etcIn the busy life we lead, it's hard to remember every detail of the hardware we acquired probably a few years ago. A few days ago we mentioned HardwareMap, with the disadvantage that it does not yet have packages for Ubuntu 10.10.
However, etc It is already installed in almost all distros And it serves the same purpose, with the addition that it does its job perfectly.
Use
Try this gem by typing in a terminal:
sudo lshw
Wait a while and you will be able to even know what color the cables of your computer are. Well, not that much, but more or less. 🙂
If you are too lazy, like me, and you are not willing to copy the result returned by lshw and paste it into a TXT, you can run the following:
sudo lshw -html> hardware.html
To ask for specific information about a particular element, use the parameter -C. For example, -C disk will return all the information about your disks:
sudo lshw -C disk
Lastly, the manual doesn't bite down:
man lshw
Very good thanks!
Look in Synaptic and there is a package and it is as follows:
lshw-gtk
graphical information about hardware configuration
also I always shoot lshw and look at every detail of the Hard
The remarkable thing is that it even tells us the Maximum RAM support and what architecture our Hard supports
I use the performance analyzer and systems comparer quite similar to everest and it is in the linux repositories, before doing everything the report of your pc allows you to select if you want to export it in a fairly complete HTML document or plain text .txt and well detailed even things that I did not know before, greetings.
A good computer it is the basis for doing better jobs.
One of the most useful commands to take an X-ray of any PC.
Very good blog, greetings!
Thanks Juani!
A hug! Paul.
Well almost without installing anything ... I use fedora and it is not installed so we would have to install it
su -c 'yum install lshw'
and coincidentally looking for the package I found it has a graphical interface, I did not install it but for those who are interested in fedora it would be
su -c 'yum install lshw-gui'
Greetings great blog 🙂
Great contribution! Thank you!
Cheers! Paul.
Very good data! Thanks for sharing !!
A big hug! Paul.
Thanks for the post, a TERRIBLE doubt, it does not load all the elements of the computer, in fact it does not give me more information than the system monitor that comes by default in FEDORA 20. I have respected the initial data load and I have also refreshed the info and nothing happens, in advance and once again, thank you very much!
It helped me. Thank you for sharing this important knowledge.
