Show boolean values for support of popular technologies

2010-02-19T14:31:41Z

Bug ID:	36
Summary:	Show boolean values for support of popular technologies
Product/Component/Version:	HardInfo/0.5
Status:	Unconfirmed
Severity:	Enhancement

I'm having the worst time trying to figure out whether my machine supports PCI-e or not. I think it should, since it's got a new CPU and 2.5Gb RAM. But lspci and dmesg were not much help, and "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence". So it would be very practical to have a list of popular technologies and just "Yes" or "No" for whether they are supported. Other technologies that come to mind are 64-bit CPU, 5.1 surround sound, FireWire, USB, LPT, DVI and RAID.

Mainboard info

I've noticed hardinfo is missing mainboard information.
It would be very nice if it was available too.

Failed Network Update - Receive Benchmarks

2010-01-03T04:16:16Z

Bug ID:	27
Summary:	Failed Network Update - Receive Benchmarks
Product/Component/Version:	HardInfo/0.5.1
Status:	Confirmed
Severity:	Moderate

I am currently running Linux Mint 8 "Helena" and HardInfo 0.5.1 downloaded tonight from the HardInfo website.

Unfortunately, though the benchmarks seem to work just fine, the Network Update fails at "Receive benchmark results". This implies, of course, that the upload worked fine, which leaves me rather puzzled as to why it failed.

Seems to be a great program, though.

New PDF Report, New Grafical Statistics, New Enhanced info, New Standard/Advanced Mode Switch

Bug ID:	30
Summary:	New PDF Report, New Grafical Statistics, New Enhanced info, New Standard/Advanced Mode Switch
Product/Component/Version:	HardInfo/0.5
Status:	Unconfirmed
Severity:	Enhancement

Hi,

I'm Ale from Italy.
It would be nice for me if you could just see more complex representation of the amazing information that the profiler can give.
And example is the ability to see a cake representing Network statistics; it would make easier to understand the trend of the network traffic in a Glance!
Another great thing would be a pdf export ability to share or keep a description of the machine.
It would be nice to have a button to change from detailed info on a device, for example, and the general model, brand and memory.
You know, having to much info not sorted means no information at all...for the common people that don't want to go deep in reading... :-)

I hope i've been helpful!
Happy New Year!

Enhance Hardinfo Detection Options for network devices as well as uClibc libc

2009-12-20T19:56:57Z

Bug ID:	10
Summary:	Enhance Hardinfo Detection Options for network devices as well as uClibc libc
Product/Component/Version:	HardInfo/0.5.1
Status:	Closed
Severity:	Enhancement

I am using a uClibc system that I built.
Hardinfo is missing two things in my case.

1) With the addition of udev, a new name for eth* devices has appeared.
These tend to be net*.
I made a patch that adds support for net* device detection.
Also, there are a number of device types missing that are also added: ifb*, gre*, msh*, and wmaster*
I am not fully certain what ifb* is.
gre* is for network tunneling.
msh* is the olpc style mesh networking
wmaster* is internal wireless master stuff that is exposed to userspace for whatever reason..

The patch:

};

2) As I mentioned before, I am using a uClibc system.
hardinfo does not detect uClibc, so I made a patch to do the bare minimum detection.
I do not know how to detect the specific version from within the uClibc libc.so file (if possible), so all I return is "uClibc Library"
I added a g_file_test for the glibc libc.so as well as this feels like a cleaner way to test the presence of a file.

Incorrect processor information for AMD 64

2009-10-06T01:18:03Z

Bug ID:	13
Summary:	Incorrect processor information for AMD 64
Product/Component/Version:	HardInfo/Older than 0.5
Status:	Closed
Severity:	Trivial

I have an AMD 64 bit dual core CPU. HardInfo is reporting that it suffers from the "FDIV bug", which presumably refers to a bug which only applies to Intel Pentium processors. It is impossible that my CPU suffers this bug because it isn't a pentium.
