[opensuse-factory] Linux hardware database based on the hwinfo tool
Hello, Recently I've set up another one database of the Linux hardware based on the SuSE hwinfo tool. The database is growing automatically based on the probes submitted by Linux users via the command line tool. So the database includes hwinfo output for about 3000 computers for now. The database is based on the concept of a "probe". Each probe includes hwinfo output, dmidecode, dmesg and other useful logs to discover computer devices and interfaces or debug some kinds of issues with the hardware. Sample probe for a notebook is: http://linux-hardware.org/index.php?probe=9dcac2957f You can find hwinfo output under the "Logs" section of the probe if you are interested. List of all tested computers: http://linux-hardware.org/index.php?view=computers How to make a probe: http://linux-hardware.org/index.php?view=howto Thank you. BTW The openSUSE was the first Linux distribution I've started to work with about 10 years ago. It's really good! I'm glad to work with it again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Wasn't there already something like this... "smolt" (and then "census"... alldead?) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Sounds interesting but how can I install hw-probe? Am completely fixed on zypper and yast for installation of necessary programs. Could you give some details of the installation and the on how to see that dependencies are satisfied. -- Linux User 183145 using KDE4 Tumbleweed on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 20151201 (x86_64) Kernel: 4.3.0-2-default KDE Development Platform: 4.14.14 11:58am up 1 day 12:52, 3 users, load average: 0.39, 0.32, 0.32 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

The tool is not packaged yet. However most important dependencies of the tool are usually satisfied by default in the openSUSE (hwinfo, curl, pciutils, usbutils). You can install the tool easily from source because it doesn't require compilation of anything: 1. Download the tarball from https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe/releases 2. Extract it and type one command in the source tree: sudo make install The command "hw-probe" will be installed to /usr/bin directory.
