I just upgraded to KDE 4.2 and was wondering where I can go to find my computer information, such as RAM, and other details about it. I have been looking around for a while now and cant find it... I can't remember my computer info... even though I've had it for three years... I'm pitiful


I figured that much out-but what about the rest of my laptop's info?? I am trying to tell someone all about it (ex: 80 GB Hard Drive, 1 GB RAM, Broadcom 802.11g Wireless card... i really need to get into details, including the hardware installed.

Open KMenu -> Applications -> System -> System Monitor and click on system load tab. You can see under "memory and swap history"

or .. type at konsole:

Code: Select all

free -m

[hr]
After the subject is now changed, you can also view other info by adding a widget. You can do that by clicking the cashew (top right corner), click Add Widgets and add the "System monitor -- Hardware info" widget.

Or the sysinfo:/ kio slave

sysinfo:/ KIO slave does not exist for Kubuntu.

Type in konsole:

Code: Select all

hwinfo --short


^^ it can be very long. For very detailed information just type without the --short option.
Good luck.

or launch kinfocenter

If you want really detailed information about your hardware ( such as revision, capabilities, etc ) you could run both
lspci -v
lsusb -v

if you want to send a text file about your hardware configurations: use the following:
sudo lshw > hw.txt

if you want to see it yourself, just use kinfocenter

Could one of you please tell me how to find out which one I have (32bit or 64bit) I`m using suse11.1 KDE4 4.2.

Thank you be so kind for helping me out:-).

Open up the software installer, do a search for "cpp", click on it, then select the "versions" tab. If there are any versions that say X86_64, then you are using a 64-bit installation. If there aren't, you are using a 32-bit installation.

I just download KDE4 liveCD 64bit and I will burn on a cd.Then I can see if it`s work,if is working then I know that my computer support 64Bit.

Thnx to everyone for helping me out:thumbs_up:

Try the KDE Control Center Homepage... It displays some tech. Info
Otherwise... What Distro Are You using? If you are using Fedora or a Red Hat distro, Try the Anaconda installer and probe all the hardware than reboot your computer. (DON'T INSTALL THE DISTRO AGAIN)

"hwinfo --short"

That doesn't appear to show my motherboard. Any ideas?
