Linux Hardware Troubleshooting Site

Lounge
1

A user recently asked someone to use this site to create a report of their system for troubleshooting purposes.

I tested it on my Ubuntu 24.04 install and it seems pretty comprehensive and useful.

Questions:

  1. has anyone else tried it?
  2. is this something that would be recommended to ask people to use for help and support issues?

Looking forward to feedback :slight_smile:

By the way, to install and run:

  1. make sure Universe is enabled
  2. sudo apt update
  3. sudo apt install hw-probe --no-install-recommends
  4. sudo -E hw-probe -all -upload
2

I hadnā€™t heard of this before. I have just installed and run it (without uploading). It makes some effort to anonymise the data, but fails in some places. I personally wouldnā€™t recommend it.

Thanks for testing and your feedback.

Where, specifically, does it fail to hide identifiable data?

Would you consider the script here to be better for troubleshooting?

I am not sure whether it has been maintained recently.

@anon36188615 might know more regarding this.

Iā€™m the same as @popey " I personally wouldnā€™t recommend it."

The system-info script I like better, Why because of this:

Details

  • Creates the file `system-info.txt` at the base of the user's home directory.

  • Sanitizes, masks all sensitive info, like IP addresses, MAC addresses, Full FQDN and Serial numbers, automatically in a meaningful way.

  • The script displays the unmasked report results within the ā€˜lessā€™ utility to review the results, one screen at a time. To navigate from there, press the space bar, left, right, up, down, page up or page down keys to navigate. If in a graphical terminal session, you can also use mouse navigation. Press the ā€œqā€ key to exit ā€œlessā€ and continue. It will print the final report and offer to upload to pastebin site.

  • Offers to post the results to the Ubuntu pastebinit provider if that program is installed, and a sufficiently reliable internet connection is available. This is the easiest way to share the sanitized results with the Ubuntu Community for support. It has 3 other fallback methods to upload the pastebin of ā€˜pastebinitā€™ is not installed, using either ā€˜curlā€™, ā€˜wgetā€™, or netcat (ā€˜ncā€™) After successful upload to the pastebin, it will both display and log the URL of the uploaded report (~/system-info-link.log), for you to copy and paste in your post on the Ubuntu Forums. (See note on missing programs below.)

  • If not uploaded to a Pastebin, if the ā€˜system-info.txtā€™ report exceeds 19.5 kB in size, it will offer to create the archive system-info.tar.gz for you to be able to add as an attachment to a Forum Post.
    I have at times wanted to ask a user to use it for sound problems, but did not.

Just to pipe in ā€¦
I ā€œthinkā€ the one that @anon36188615 is referring to is the same one Iā€™ve tried here on my system to see exactly what it provided.
which I like itā€™s abilities.

The 'system-info' script was booted from an installed system

The 'system-info' script seems to be running locally

The Linux Kernel Command Line use to boot was: 
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.8.0-52-generic root=UUID=eaec50bd-1b94-447e-9894-8c2c07edd587 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7

Of course the script was donated to the old UF site by MAFoElffen
it is hosted on github HERE
or could be invoked with

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/Mafoelffen1/system-info/raw/main/system-info && chmod +x system-info && ./system-info

Many Iā€™m sure are aware of this, but some are not hence my feedback

On the old UF the script was used a fair bit to help users troubleshoot issues with their systems.

I do not know if the script is still maintained, I am certainly not in a position to do so.

However, the question is whether we can or should ask users here on Discourse to run it when there is a need.

My impression from you, 1fallen, and popey is the answer would be yes.

Please correct me if that is not a good assumption.

MAFoElffen pretty much maintained it.
Which he took a leave of absence (which my understanding was not uncommon) , I do know several tried to contact him to no avail. Which was a 2 months or more before the hint (public posting) of a transition to here. I know I asked @coffeecat about his status fearing the worse.

But I do like the script I think it would be a valuable aid to many ā€¦ way better than the screen captures Iā€™ve seen many post. And to summarize Yes from me I wouldnā€™t dare speak for the others.

That would be excellent if the two of you could maintain the script.

I am happy to test new versions if you want.

I still have to talk with @sudodus but he did just like the idea.
Stay tuned for more news or updates on the matter.

I see it has a PPA, so that, to me, seems like the way to suggest people install it.
