Hello linux-e; This is my first question to this list so I hope it fits. How do you clear the "hwinfo" database. This system is SuSE 8.0/upgraded. I removed a Lexmark Z55 printer that was a Linux headache with 8.0. However, it still shows up with "hwinfo --printer". Shades of MS! If there is a file that stores this data I have not found it yet. Ther is no "man hwinfo" and "hwinfo --help" does suggest any solution. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~dwash " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb@arrl.net Info: http://www.austinlug.org

Try looking in /var/lib/hardware. There are a bunch of files with odd names... but I would bet one of them references your printer. - Herman On Mon, 7 Oct 2002, Donn aka N5XWB wrote: ->Hello linux-e; -> ->This is my first question to this list so I hope it fits. -> ->How do you clear the "hwinfo" database.

hwinfo is a program, it will detect anything you have connected. It is not a database or file. For help, "hwinfo --help". -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson El 02.10.07 a las 17:24, Donn aka N5XWB escribió:

Hello linux-e;

If there is a file that stores this data I have not found it yet. Ther is no "man hwinfo" and "hwinfo --help" does suggest any solution.

No, it does keep a database in /var/lib/hardware/ so that it can tell when new hardware has been added. Just rm -r /var/lib/hardware/* -- -ckm

Not in my system. Look: nimrodel:~ # hwinfo ....... lots of things nimrodel:~ # l /var/lib/hardware/ ls: /var/lib/hardware/: No such file or directory It may be so on other version :-? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
