Find Hardware Specs (Details) on your Computer February 18, 2007
Posted by Carthik in commands, snippets, ubuntu.trackback
I stumbled upon the nifty “lshw” tool today. lshw lists your hardware. Try it now:
$sudo lshw
You can get specific details by using the -C flag:
$sudo lshw -C disk
will list all you hard disks.
It create an html page with your hardware details if you do a:
$sudo lshw -html > your-file-name.html
I generated one for my laptop and put it up for future reference. Now I have an answer to the question, “what network adapter do you have, or what wireless driver are you using?”
I know, this is something probably all of you know already. I just found out about this little tool today. I expect this info might be useful for those of you just learning the ropes, like me.

Oh, if only I’d known about this about a month ago, where I spent hours trying to find out what MHz my current RAM were running at so I could get some that matched….
The possibility to create an html file is very handy. I didn’t know this utility. Thanks.
Thanks, good tip. Also, maybe a good debaday entry?
Thanks a lot for helping me know this wonderful tool. Have linked you in my site

lshw – Hardware details on Ubuntu/Linux
This is a wonderful tool for Linux users. Know all your hardware details with this superb tool called “lshw”
Try it now:
$sudo lshw

$sudo lshw -C disk

Well, this person didn’t know about it.
Thanks muchly!
I didn’t know about the html option. This was a great tip 🙂 Thanks a lot!!
Thanks man. This is great tip
Dude you just published your ip config and mac address for the ip config to the world. Not such a strong security tip. But in fairness a great tip for a private html page. 😉
The IP Address is a private IP Address – the 192 Address range is reserved for private network use – therefore, and I’m no expert on this, this would only be a risk if you were already connected to his network.
I think that if there’s anything you can tell from lshw that you can’t tell from the Device Manager, that’s a bug worth reporting about the Device Manager.
Awesome tip! Very useful–thanks.
Nice tip. Should make support easier.
A+ and a Gold Star
Wow, seems like I was not the only one who found it terribly handy 🙂
mpt, as opposed to lshw, I have trouble figuring out where to find out, say, the make and specs of my processor. The lshw page that I created for myself(that’s another thing the Device Manager lacks), seems to have information organized in a better, more readable way.
I filed two bugs:bug 1, bug 2.
Will you be interested in some nice point-and-click interface that fetches and presents all this information?
Hi Roy,
If I understand correctly, mpt was saying that that’s what the device database is supposed to do. Improvements to that would be most welcome 🙂
Roy sysinfo does it nice gui wrap around lshw but give both an abbreviated version and a full listing. Oh and it’s in the ubuntu repo’s 🙂

you could even use the hwinfo command
Thanks for this tools 🙂
I like it, and I will promote it in french, on my blog
http://www.pastanque.be/splitsch
You may also want to use lshw-gtk for a gui view
It would be nice for Ubuntu tu enable this by default with a command in the menu.
Crap! How come I didn’t know about lshw! I can think of so many different times I needed something exactly like this. 😛
Thank you so much for posting this.

Thanks for that packages, even more interesting is that lshw-gtk packet, so you can browse through that information on X.
Please don’t mind, i mentioned your article on my debian blog….

Wow what a fantastic too. I’ll definately be using this a bit!
Yep, Hewlett Packard definitely makes nice notebooks and I’ve owed several of them. I think though since I own my own business now I’d like to get a laptop with a little more “umph” so I’ve been looking at the different models that Sony makes. I’ve never actually owned a Sony but I’ve used a countless number of them and they’ve always given me a pleasurable experience.
I’m looking to go Pentium and a 3 Gig minimum with at least 2 Gigs of RAM. I plan on spending a lot of time on the road and I’ll need this power to run my business from the road and in other offices. Can anyone recommend a specific model?
Thank you…
It help when I needed info about my 8 year old MAC POWERBOOK G4 with UBUNTU 6.06 LTS.

Hey all,
I tried to use this command in OpenSuse 10.3 and it wouldn’t work. come to find out lshw is a bit more than a command. Here is a weblink for the site for it.
http://ezix.org/project/wiki/HardwareLiSter
In addition, I found three other commands that might come in handy for us Linux folks.
command – hwinfo – basically does the same thing as lshw (I think)
command – free – shows you how much memory you have in the system
command – dmidecode – not exactly sure what it does but it sure does look cool 😛

hi, i want to install 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter for ubuntu 8.04. could you please help me for this.

Thanks :).. very nice :D… just what i was looking for!
even easier: install package lshw-gtk!
It does not give your screen model name.
Excellent!! Just the command that I was looking for!!
Thanks a lot!
You are a hero…thanks so much.
I have been trying to ID the hardware on a second hand box, to install Mac Leopard 10.5.5 but cant get a distro till I know the hardware. boot in to ubuntu….xubuntu and drag off the info
I have to add to the accolades, just what I needed to find out exactly what I had inherited when I picked up this old box.
What a shame it is not documented in the Ubuntu Install Procedures. It might make resolving hardware based installation procedures a little easier.
I find it odd that you can notify Launchpad about your configuration on installation but you cannot find out yourself.
Very helpful. Thank you!

Sadly, you have to be something called a super user to make this work. Is there anything out there for us newbies to use?
what a handy little utility! thanks for the write up 😀
Jim, preface the command with ‘sudo’ (search ubuntu websites for howto’s on sudo/gksudo)
Thank you Carthik for this command.
THanks Thanks Thanks!
Great tip, just what I was looking for (especially the html option)! 🙂
Thanks,

You can get specific details by using the -C flag:

will list all you hard disks.

Firefox 3 users, rejoice! Today I’m pleased to announce a beta release of an enhanced version of our Firefox Add-on for del.icio.us that now has full Firefox 3 support while retaining Firefox 2 compatibility. While it is largely similar to the release version of our Firefox Add-on, there are a few nifty new features
I have trouble figuring out where to find out, say, the make and specs of my processor. The lshw page that I created for myself(that’s another thing the Device Manager lacks), seems to have information organized in a better, more readable way.
thank you very much …

Compliments to Carthik on the lshw tool. This is the right spirit. I was sure that their was a webcam in the laptop and I know now that there is not. I should be able to make the wifi work in XP now that I know what it is and the driver to look for. I am in ubuntu 11 in my first partition with XP on the second.
Today i made 200 pictures rotate at once when the best I could do in XP is on at a time. I love my UBI. I can hit my router 35 feet away in the heat from the comfort of my ac from ubi and soon from my xp partition.
Thanks Carthik
