[opensuse-factory] openSUSE hardware database
Hi, The Linux-Hardware.org database has been divided recently into a set of databases, one per each Linux distro. The one for openSUSE is available at: https://linux-hardware.org/?d=openSUSE Everyone can contribute to the database with the help of https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe. The tool is intended to simplify collecting of logs necessary for investigating hardware related problems. Just ask a user to run one simple command to collect all the system logs at once: sudo hw-probe -all -upload Hardware failures are highlighted in the collected logs (smartctl, dmesg, xorg.log). Also it's handy to search for particular hardware configurations in the community and review logs for errors to check operability of devices on board (for some devices this is done automatically — see statuses of devices in a probe). Various packages for the tool are available: AppImage, Snap, Flatpak, Docker or native RPM: sudo zypper addrepo -G -f obs://home:linuxbuild/openSUSE_Factory hw-probe sudo zypper install --no-recommends hw-probe Enjoy! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Well, I guess that is why Andrey added "--no-recommends" to the install command ;) Werner --

Shouldn't --no-recommends on cmdline be superfluous when it's the default? # grep ver.only /etc/zypp/zypp.conf solver.onlyRequires = true -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

Many years ago, the suse distro and others back then, used to have some four or five letter tool or package that did probably the very same, probably a predecessor of this project maybe recently rebooted. I liked it back then and reported machines I could, but eventually the project died and it gotton stripped from (open)suse distro. Anyone still remember that old attempt years ago? I dont recall its name any more. Also what exactly was wrong with collecting hw ids and lists back then, why has it been abandoned and why is there this project now rising from the dead again? Any background information? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

No, it was something else. Initially it run automatically on the first boot, later it had to be manual. I remember we used links to our info in the database in Bugzilla reports. Huh, maybe I can find the name there. [...] SMOLT <http://www.smolts.org/> (dead link) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smolt_(Linux)> - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

I think that the information could most certainly be useful but there does seem to be this apprehension to any form of data collection. Ubuntu took some criticism for there data collection practice however, I can't help BUT to see the benefit of it. https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/statistics I am sure that their execution method could use a little tweaking but it is NOT a bad idea. -- Nathan On Saturday, 27 October 2018 14:25:25 EDT Carlos E.

No it wasnt linuxcounter, (I think i still have my linuxcounter account :) ), nor those lshw or similar tools. It was actually being run during suse bootup as default I think I remember, and there was even some yast config to this step once, the next suse version has stripped some stuff away already and eventhally the actual tool or script was unsupported as well as the main website and database that collected those submissions was going defunct or something similar happened to the upstream or the people who ran and stored all those submissions. Im really annoyed that I dont remember the tools name any more. Maybe it was something starting with d or k or whatever :( it was complete a website and you could look up your own machine and check for example how many submissions there were for example for a certain type of hardware, cpuid, pciid and whatnot.
