logicalconfusion Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I remember using a proggie call hwdinfo or sumffin way back in the good ol days of win98. It was written from scratch in ASM and displayed a very intricate log of all the hardware along with manufacturer info on a PC. Whats the Linux equivalent?

logicalconfusion Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Thanks for the link. The hardinfo application is really neat. Is there a utility out there that will display the type(SD/DDR) of RAM on board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 use aida32 or everest and it will show exactly what type of ram you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicalconfusion Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) use aida32 or everest and it will show exactly what type of ram you have. What exactly is the nix equivalent? Looks like you're suggesting that I must reach for Wine...think it'll work? Edited September 22, 2013 by logicalconfusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicalconfusion Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Aida32 works beautifully on XP, too bad Wine's not sophisticated enough to emulate it properly. I read somewhere that an CPU-Z might work if it's configured to run as a WIN98 application, but have yet to experiment. The cmd lspci -vv seems very cryptic. I cannot decipher its output or if it actually displays RAM type. ? Edited September 22, 2013 by logicalconfusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Linux probably has native commands to query the system itself. I don't know what they are, but linux treats every part of the systems as a file or device, whether hardware or software, so you should be able to lookup all that info via the console. In windows, I use wmic to do some of it in a bat script I wrote a while ago. just right click and run as administrator: WMIC-PC-INFO.bat: cd \mkdir WMIC-PC-INFOcd WMIC-PC-INFOwmic BIOS list full /format:htable > BIOS.htmlwmic CSPRODUCT list full /format:htable > SM-BIOS.htmlwmic CPU list full /format:htable > CPU-INFO.htmlwmic os get ServicePackMajorVersion /format:htable > ServicePackMajor.htmlwmic os get ServicePackMinorVersion /format:htable > ServicePackMinor.htmlwmic COMPUTERSYSTEM list full /format:htable > COMPUTERSYSTEM.htmlwmic BOOTCONFIG list full /format:htable > BOOTCONFIG.htmlwmic BASEBOARD list full /format:htable > MOBO.htmlwmic DISKDRIVE list /format:htable > DISK-DRIVES.htmlwmic ENVIRONMENT list /format:htable > SYSTEM-ENV.htmlwmic GROUP list /format:htable > GROUPS-SID.htmlwmic USERACCOUNT list /format:htable > USERS-SID-STATUS.htmlwmic SYSACCOUNT list full /format:htable > SYSACCOUNT-SECURITY-LIST.htmlwmic SYSDRIVER list full /format:htable > SYSDRIVER-LIST.htmlwmic STARTUP list full /format:htable > BASIC-STARTUP-LIST.htmlwmic SHARE list full /format:htable > SHARES.htmlwmic SERVICE list full /format:htable > SERVICES.htmlwmic SERVER list full /format:htable > SERVER.htmlwmic NIC list full /format:htable > NETWORK-ADAPTERS.htmlwmic NICCONFIG list full /format:htable > NETWORK-ADAPTERS-DETAILED-INFO.htmlwmic NETLOGIN list full /format:htable > NETLOGINS-INFO.htmlwmic LOGICALDISK list full /format:htable > LOGICALDISK-INFO.htmlecho "<html><body link='black' vlink='#666' bgcolor='white' style='color:white;font-family:arial; text-align:justify;overflow:scroll;'><div id='container' style='width:1400px; margin:0px;'><div id='menu' style='font-size:12px;float:left; width:220px;'><a href='BIOS.html' target='framed'>Bios-Info</a><br /><br /><a href='SM-BIOS.html' target='framed'>SMBios-Info</a><br /><br /><a href='BOOTCONFIG.html' target='framed'>Boot Config</a><br /><br /><a href='CPU-INFO.html' target='framed'>CPU-INFO</a><br /><br /><a href="ServicePackMajor.html">ServicePackMajor Version</a><br/ ><br /><a href="ServicePackMinor.html">ServicePackMinor Version</a><br/ ><br /><br /><br /><a href='COMPUTERSYSTEM.html' target='framed'>PC Info</a><br /><br /><a href='DISK-DRIVES.html' target='framed'>Disk Drives</a><br /><br /><a href='LOGICALDISK-INFO.html' target='framed'>Logical Disk Info</a><br /><br /><a href='SYSTEM-ENV.html' target='framed'>SYS Environment Info</a><br /><br /><a href='GROUPS-SID.html' target='framed'>GROUPS and SIDs Info</a><br /><br /><a href='USERS-SID-STATUS.html' target='framed'>Users, SIDs and Status Info</a><br /><br /><a href='SYSACCOUNT-SECURITY-LIST.html' target='framed'>SYS Security Accounts Info (Think file and folder permissions)</a><br /><br /><a href='SYSDRIVER-LIST.html' target='framed'>Driver List and Info</a><br /><br /><a href='BASIC-STARTUP-LIST.html' target='framed'>Basic Startup Programs Info</a><br /><br /><a href='SHARES.html' target='framed'>Shares Info (Requires Server, Computer Browser, Workstation and ICS Services enabled)</a><br /><br /><a href='SERVICES.html' target='framed'>Services</a><br /><br /><a href='SERVER.html' target='framed'>Server Info (Requires Server, Computer Browser, Workstation and ICS Services enabled)</a><br /><br /><a href='NETWORK-ADAPTERS.html' target='framed'>Network Adapters</a><br /><br /><a href='NETWORK-ADAPTERS-DETAILED-INFO.html' target='framed'>Network Adapters Details</a><br /><br /><a href='NETLOGINS-INFO.html' target='framed'>Network Logins</a><br /><br /></div><iframe name='framed' src='bios.html' style='width:1160px; height:600px; position:relative; padding-left:10px; float:left; overflow:scroll; border:0; left:5px;'>-iframe-</iframe></div></body></html>" > index.htmlstart index.html[/CODE]this gives some basic info, like what motherboard and bios you have, system users, etc. Might not be what you are looking for, but there are other commands in wmi that you can use for more system details.

Jason Cooper Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Three useful linux commands that should help you list hardware (Note Mr-Protocol's reply links to a page which mentions these and a lot more). lspci - lists the devices found on the PCI busses. lsusb - lists the devices found on the Universial Serail Busses dmidecode - lists a mass of information found from the BIOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicalconfusion Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) correct! It's all available through the good ol' cmdlne. sudo lshw | less really hit the nail on the head. I bet they're working a nifty tool that combines aida32 and CUP-Z now. Thanks for the info. You can write it out to txt uising re-direction, makes it a bit easier to read. sudo lshw | less > hdwre.txt Edited September 22, 2013 by logicalconfusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
