It is able to -obtain information from both hardware and basic software, and organize it -in a simple to use GUI. - -Features include: -- Report generation (in either HTML or plain text) -- Benchmark result synchronization -- Ability to explore the information on remote computers - -Status ------- - -Capabilities: HardInfo currently detects most software and hardware detected by the OS. -Features: The remote sync was disabled due to server loss. -Development: Currently done by contributors, a new dedicated maintainer is needed. - -Server code can be found in the "server" branch: https://github.com/lpereira/hardinfo/tree/server - -DEPENDENCIES ------------- - -Required: -- GTK+ 2.10 (or newer) -- GLib 2.10 (or newer) -- Zlib (for zlib benchmark) - -Optional (for synchronization/remote): -- Libsoup 2.24 (or newer) - -BUILDING --------- - -Create a build directory and build from there: - -``` bash - hardinfo $ mkdir build - hardinfo $ cd build - build $ cmake .. - build $ make -``` - -There are some variables that can be changed: - - * `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`: Can either be ``Release`` or ``Debug``. - * `[Default: Release]` ``Debug`` prints messages to console and is not recommended for general use. - * `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`: Sets the installation prefix. - * `[Default: /usr/local]`: Distributions usually change this to `/usr`. - * `HARDINFO_NOSYNC`: Disables network synchronization. - * `[Default: 1]`: Disabled by default due to the server being lost. - -To set a variable, use cmake's -D parameter. For example: - -` build $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ` - -Network sync is enabled if libsoup is detected. If having trouble building with libsoup, disable it with: - -` build $ cmake -DHARDINFO_NOSYNC=1` - -SETTING UP ----------- - -Most hardware is detected automatically by HardInfo, however, some hardware -needs manual set up. They are: - -### Sensors - -**lm-sensors**: If your computer is compatible with lm-sensors module, use by example the -`sensors-detect` program included with the lm-sensors package of Debian based distros, and be sure -to have the detected kernel modules loaded. - -**hddtemp**: To obtain the hard disk drive temperature, be sure to run hddtemp -in daemon mode, using the default port. - -### Memory Speed - -The module `eeprom` must be loaded to display info about your currently installed memory. -Load with `modprobe eeprom` and refresh the module screen. |
