HARDINFO
========
HardInfo is a system profiler and benchmark for Linux systems. 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.
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.
