Smolt is a hardware profiler for Fedora so we can get a better idea of what type of hardware is out there in the Fedora universe. It's still in beta but those of you running FC6 or newer (rawhide) can participate.
Just type "yum install smolt" followed by "smoltSendProfile". All sends are anonymous and the only tie to hardware is via a UUID that gets sent. We can't trace the UUID back to you without you giving us the UUID, which may be helpful for those experiencing hardware or driver issues.
Check out the stats at http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/stats

Hi Mike. Is smolt likely to become available for FC5?

Possibly, I'd like to go back to FC3 if I could but there are compatibility issues with urlgrabber and hal in python. I'll see what I can come up with.

I've just checked out smoltPrint, which claims We would send the following information to the Fedora Smolt server:
One very noticable problem in the information it reports is that it reports the current CPU speed, not the maximum. It calls my system a 1 GHz system (which it is, when it's not loaded, due to Cool'n'Quiet and cpuspeed), not a 2 GHz system.
Would it not make more sense to query /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq , if it exists?
Would you like me to Bugzilla this, or use https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/smolt/newticket?

Sounds interesting, so I tried. yum install smolt works, but there is no smoltSendProfile . Looking through rpm -ql smolt output, the only thing executable was /usr/share/smolt/client/sendProfile.py , which seems to do the job . Is there an error in the rpm package or am I missing something here?

Hmm, good question. Most of the hardware reporting issues here are actually based off of rhn-client-tools. I'd submit it to bugzilla.redhat.com. You'll be hearing from me soon hopefully.

I'm going to guess out of date mirror. The most current version was just built last night. The most recent version is "smolt-0.6.1-3.fc6"

I lied earlier, use https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/smolt/newticket. But be warned, thats also very new, you might be the first person to sumbit a trac bug for us :-D

FYI: I noticed on my laptop with cpuspeed running that smoltPrint reports the current cpu speed and not the maximum speed supported by the cpu. Will that not mess with the statistics?

This is obvious but the problem with the statistics you get with the current program is there could be N times as many FCx (x<6) users out there and you would never find that out. -- ======================================================================= Is there life before breakfast? ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@sbcglobal.net

I installed/ran smolt but I don't run HAL. It almost sorta kinda worked :(

If it is of interest your SendProfile script did not dedect my sound card which is a Crystal Semiconductor CS4236 sound card. That was not surprising since lspci does not detect it either. -- ======================================================================= I've always made it a solemn practice to never drink anything stronger than tequila before breakfast. -- R.

Thanks, that was indeed the case, the update came in last night

Just tried this on a few boxes, and get the following repeatedly on one of them:

would it make sense to add some non-hardware metrics, too, like for example the uid/gid range used in case we'd like to rethink the 100-499 range?

Possibly, I'll take a look.
