How to get a system report similar to dxdiag in Linux

L31mr0d

I'm looking for a way I can get a system report from Linux that gives me all the details I need about hardware in the system.

In windows I usually just run "dxdiag" from the command line and then save a report. Is there any facility for this within Linux?

lspci

Run it in a terminal. Its prob as near as you'll get to it

The 'lspci' utility mentioned above lists devices on the PCI busses in the system.

The 'dmidecode' utility should allow you to get detailed information from your BIOS about your processor, memory, chipsets, etc.

The output of the 'dmesg' command will quite often contain most of the information you want.

The 'glxinfo' command can give you details of the OpenGL capabilities of your hardware.

The vast majority of the information is available to utilities via the /proc and /sys filesystems so there are probably one-stop system summary tools out there that I've never seen.

lshw is worth a look at too

sobriquet

A quick google turned this up. It's all terminal based but pretty comprehensive.

hwinfo is also worth a look

If you're on Debian/Ubuntu then

sudo apt-get install hardinfo

you can grab the source here and build it manually

http://packages.debian.org/source/stable/hwinfo

It seems its a suse utility so I can't find an rpm for redhat, if you fancy you can download a suse rpm, Im sure there wont be too much of a difference as this tool doesnt appear to be too complicated as you can see from the package layout. It will complain on install if there is any problem

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/7585283/com/hwinfo-14.17-3.i586.rpm.html

rpm file for x86: ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/i586/hwinfo-14.17-3.i586.rpm

Here is just a sample from my hwinfo:

60: None 01.0: 10103 CPU
[Created at cpu.301]
Unique ID: wkFv.j8NaKXDZtZ6
Hardware Class: cpu

If that fails then I saw somebody in a similar situation use this, but I have never used it.
