Hi, I've just created a Deb package for hw-probe. See https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe/blob/master/INSTALL.md#install-on-debian. The command to replenish the database: sudo hw-probe -all -upload One can also use a lightweight all-in-one AppImage (Debian 8 and later, Ubuntu 12.04 and later) or Snap package (Debian 9 and later, Ubuntu 14.04 and later) to make a probe of the computer w/o the need to install any Deb packages to the system: https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe#appimage https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe#snap Deb package sources are available in the OBS project: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:linuxbuild/hw-probe Thank you. -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
