I would like to to see all parts of my Dell laptop, especially my wireless card (but including other information other like CPU and GPU).

I tried some commands in the terminal as root but I didn't get useful results ....

Does anyone know the right commands or right program to do this?

I use Ubuntu 12.04, and I haven't installed any updates or installed additional drivers.

  • Depends on what you're looking for.. but a few commands based upon the details you provided would be: ifconfig, xinput -list, but what exactly are you trying to do/determine? This is very open-ended, and should possibly be revised

  • Please edit your post to include some of the commands that you have tried. lspci will give you a general sense of hardware installed. ifconfig will show your network connections; iwconfig will give your wireless information. Dash->Applications->Details will give the basic system and OS information.

  • You can type sudo lshw > ~/systemdetails.txt into a terminal, and read the systemdetails.txt in your preferred editor later.

You can use Hardware Info. To install, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo apt-get install hardinfo

Once done, type

sudo hardinfo

For the command line, try sudo lshw and/or sudo dmidecode and/or sudo hwinfo. You may have to install these, depending on the state of your system. These will give you what is probably too much information, but can include things like serial numbers and vendor model numbers, as well as other hardware and interfaces. (I've looked up Dell service tags this way.)

Graphical programs in the repositories include sysinfo and hardinfo.
