After two further re-installs, I had almost given up on using the terminal for hardware detection. However, today I did an update and for some reason this seems to have fixed the problem there were three packages to update but I didn't pay too much attention because they didn't seem to be related to my issue.
Anyway, all seems to be working well for now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1729893 Title: lspci and lshw causing total system freeze To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-terminal-app/+bug/1729893/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
