Ubuntu - Hardware - hwinfo

Hardware Information Tool (hwinfo) is a small utility created by OpenSUSE to gather information on system hardware.


Probe for hardware information

sudo hwinfo

Probe for all hardware information

sudo hwinfo +all

NOTE: This usually takes longer, but provides oodles of information.

To shorten information to a more human-friendly format, add the –short option to the command:

sudo hwinfo --short all

Specify a log file for hwinfo to write to

Use log=.

  • This is different from standard redirection, but should be used for hwinfo.
sudo hwinfo log=hardware.txt all
