hwinfo also doesn't compile on my notebook. Try downgrading to an older |
| 22 |
version of dbus and checkout the changelog and the README file. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
However there are a lot of other ways to get informations about your |
| 25 |
hardware. |
| 26 |
Just to name a few: |
| 27 |
lspci |
| 28 |
cat /proc/meminfo |
| 29 |
cat /proc/modules |
| 30 |
/proc/acpi/* |
| 31 |
cat /proc/filesystems |
| 32 |
cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info |
| 33 |
/proc/scsi/* |
| 34 |
... |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
You can also find a lot of information under /sys/ |
| 37 |
|
