Nice...

I think most or maybe all that same info is available buy running the
program `Device Driver Utility'. However see below for what happens
here.

Does anyone know the keyboard command to run the:

Device Driver Utility

Either in the Application/System menu or in some install media there
is an icon left for `Device Driver Utility' left on the desktop.

When I try to run it from Applications/System menu I get an icon in
the taskbar saying `Device Driver Utility' is starting, but then it
never appears, and after 30 seconds or so the icon in taskbar
disappears but still never see the interface.

So how can I start it from the cmdline?



ddu as root...

 ddu as root...

Well since the X session is not owned by root I get an error about not
being able to open the display but its followed by what looks like a
python error:

 # ddu
 Xlib: connection to :0.0 refused by server
 Xlib: No protocol specified

 /usr/lib/python2.6/vendor-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:57: GtkWarning:

  warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)
 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File /usr/bin/ddu, line 53, in module
import pynotify
 ImportError: No module named pynotify

And trying with pfex from the user whos X session it is:

   pfexec ddu

  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File /usr/bin/ddu, line 53, in module
import pynotify
  ImportError: No module named pynotify

This is with build 133

[osol-discuss] [basic] cmds to discover/report hardware

2010-04-01 Thread Harry Putnam
I may have asked this question here before, but I'm finding no
evidence of it.

If I wanted to find as much info as I can about a machines hardware
what commands would I use?

Things like hdd and there specs.  Video card, sound etc etc.

No, thanks... I didn't now about that.
   /usr/ddu/bin/i386/all_devices

Shows quite a bit of info but still can't determine the motherboard.

Not sure what else to try with it, there is apparently no man page for
ddu.


I noticed too that it might be listing the wrong sata adapter. I can't
really tell if this line is referring to a pci adapter or the one
built into the mobo.  It does make reference to pci so I'm assuming
this is the pci adapter I added.  If so then the report has it wrong,
because what I installed is an adaptec 1205a.

Can you tell by looking if this might refer to a sata controller built
into mobo (wrapped for mail):

  (Controller)Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3112 [SATALink/SATARaid] \
  Serial ATA Controller:DEVID=0x3112:CLASS=00018085:[0,8,0]:\
  pci-ide:1:Attached:VENDOR=0x1095

smbios has gobs of satanic looking output but apparently still doesn't
know which mobo is installed.

(scanpci)
That shows the same adapter:

  pci bus 0x cardnum 0x08 function 0x00: vendor 0x1095 device 0x3112
   Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3112 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller

All good info posters  I'm liking the tools mentioned sofar.

I'm also wondering now if I've gotten things scrambled in my feeble
memory.

No I hadn't.  Wasn't even aware of the tools.
Nice concise output except hard to make head or tails of `prtconf'
output. 

[...]
pci1106,3104, instance #0
isa, instance #1
motherboard (driver not attached)
fdc, instance #1
fd, instance #1

[...]

Good info and tools... thanks.

(prtconf)
Still doesn't appear to know which motherboard is installed.

Interesting. On one of my random boxes running 2009.06, smbios says:

IDSIZE TYPE

  Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
  Product: 8I865GVMK
  Version: x.x
  Serial Number:

  Chassis: 0
  Flags: 0x0

Of course, these utilities are reliant on the hardware and bios
actually reporting data back, which is somewhat variable in
both quantity and quality.

Likewise, mine supplies the motherboard model and name, but it's also a

I notice they call it a `base board' not mother board so I grepped for
that:  

smbios |grep 'base board'
nothing

smbios |grep Manufacturer
  Manufacturer:  
  Manufacturer:  
  Manufacturer: AMD
  Manufacturer: None
  Manufacturer: None
  Manufacturer: None

Must be secretive hardware eh?
