Is this just one system or a range of boxes? I just ran it on 2
different ones running CentOS 7 and it worked fine there. If it is
just one particular hardware then look through the lshw man page and
try the versions of something like

lshw -disable usb

to see if it still happens. [It might require other tests also.]

[CentOS] lshw in centos 7

[david]

Folks

I've been running lshw for years in both Centos 6 and Centos 7, yet 
just recently it started hanging.  Neither a Control^C nor a "kill" 
of the process cured the hang; only a reboot.


When I run it by hand from the command line, it displays stuff on the 
next line overwriting it with things like PCI, USB.  And USB is the 
last thing I see.  A Control-C does not unlock it.


I am running lshw-B.02.18-7.el7.x86_64.  The CPU is an Intel 
I7-3770K, running CentOS 7.4.1708


Is there any idea? Is there some alternate program that could list 
the hardware?


Thanks

David

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 7 autofs flakyness

[Chris Olson]

We have had this problem before but not for a long time.The problem was 
eventually traced to a router (we think)and corrected when the old router was 
replaced.

that was from four days ago, and my user just reported the problem
yesterday, though he hadn't tried to use WinSCP in about a month.

You can install xorg-x11-drv-synaptics which includes syndaemon.

Then you can type syndaemon -d which usually is sufficient. There are more
specific ways to use it.

I usually run kde, so I'll have to look for something similar. Thanks,
though.

If/when you do, *PLEASE* post the solution. If you're a manager, or gamer,
I guess touchpads are great. If you're *typing*, they're dreadful, that's

Okay, got the "disable touchpad while typing" thingy working.

Here's what I did:

Install dconf-editor if you haven't already.

Then, from a console (not as su), run:

dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/touchpad/disable-while-typing 
true


This seems to have worked for me.

Good luck,

Sean

It's better to not top post if possible.  :)

There is an xrandr scale command as well. If for example, your output is
eDP1 then
xrandr --output eDP1 --scale .8x.8

The smaller the scaling, the larger the size, so I think that .5x.5 wou
be what the tweak tool is offering.


Thanks for the help.

I've got it working now.  What I ended up doing was adding 
video=1600x900 to my boot / kernel command line to test and then 
appended it in my grub menu.


I screwed around with font scaling with Gnome Tweak and also in 
about:config of Firefox and Thunderbird but there was always something 
that looked funny and some webpages didn't come out right.
