[opensuse] cmd-line utilities to display hardware?
suggestions for command-line tools to examine the HW on a system? so far, i've got: * "hwinfo" * "lspci" * "lsusb" * perusing under /proc * perusing under /sys any others that would fit on that list? (i come from a fedora background so i'm not yet familiar with the suse-specific tools). thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P. J.

Robert, What I normally want to know is what hard drives and usb drives are connected to a box. hwinfo shows that, but it is overkill for me. I normally just do fdisk -l which shows drives (make, model) and partitions. I then use hdparm to delve in even further (ie. s/n). I think you have to use sdparm to get the serial number of a usb thumbdrive.

it is? i just did a "zypper" search and found nothing by that name. ah, but i mentioned early on that i'm using SLES 11, not opensuse. i'm going to guess that a beta version of *anything* isn't in the normal SLES repos. but i'll remember that package for later for my imminent opensuse system. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

To discover all commands starting with ls use bash completion with the TAB key. Here it reports: # ls ls lsattr lscpu lshal lsmod lspci lsusb ls-l lsb_release lsdev lsinitrd lsof lsscsi then check man pages. # apropos hardware will give you another few utilities. -- Regards, Rajko People of openSUSE editor.

Sorry to not be specific, For 11.0 and newer it's in the packman repo, For 10.3 it's in the home:/mskibbe repo. If you don't have 'webpin' installed, do that first. Forget searching with zypper, webpin is the way to go.

ah, that's nice, i'd never seen that command before, thanks. and i see there a number of other "ls"-prefixed commands: lscpu, lsdev, and a bunch of others: # ls<TAB> i'm guessing some of those are simply repackaging of /proc content, just as "lsmod" is a repackaging of the contents of /proc/modules. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

A tip from the openSUSE conference: lshw. It's not suse-specific. Just go to http://software.opensuse.org/search , enter lshw and select the distro you're running. You'll want the packages lshw and lshw-gui. lshw's homepage is http://ezix.org/project/wiki/HardwareLiSter Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
