A simple question

[Joe Zeff]

Recently, my laptop died and I had to buy a new one.  Now, I'd like to 
take a look at what hardware is inside.  I know that there used to be a 
program to show you all of the hardware, but it's been so long since I 
needed it that I can't remember its name.  I'd appreciate it if somebody 
could point me in the right direction.

Don't know if there is a tool to show everything, but lspci will
give a lot of info about what is talking on the pci buses.

Then there's /proc/cpuinfo and maybe other /proc/* files of
interest.

You may open a command line terminal and type
$ sudo lspci

And it will show hardware information for your PC.  There was also a dmidecode? Or similar program

I use dmidecode too.

Is this you new computer or your old computer?
If you old computer, you have to figure out a way
to get it to boot.  Perhaps make up a Fedora
Live USB on your new computer.  You may have
to connect to the Internet and do a dnf to
install dmidecode

Hi Olivares,

Is ProtonMail supporting Thunderbird yet?

To be honest, I don't know
  I am using Brave web browser on Android phone to access protonmail.

My understanding there is a plugin that provides an imap interface. Thus 
you can use thunderbird. I have not tried this.

inxi and lshw spring to mind.  Both are in Fedora.

Joe, I'm afraid I replied too quickly. If the hard drive doesn't work I
don't know what you can do except examine your backups - which I'm sure
you have. If you are able to pull the drive and make it boot while
attached to some other computer then dmidecode would be informative.

Maybe boot from a stick to check the hardware in context?

Also, unlike MS software, Linux will happily boot using most consumer
hardware, I have successfully migrated my work environment by putting
the old HD into a new(er) box and rebooting. Once updates are run for
the new (to Fedora) hardware, things are pretty smooth.

Might be worth a try.

The drive is dead and the rest of the laptop doesn't boot, even with a 
LiveUSB, but that's not relevant.  I'm looking for something to tell me 
what's on my NEW laptop, and the program I remember had a GUI.

There is an lshw and an lshw-giu out there.

Thanx; lshw-gui was what I was looking for.

You might try

sudo fpaste --sysinfo

to see what it does.

[fedora]

sudo inxi with various parameters?
