Don't worry, I'm not going to go on here too much. Waiting for a test to finish, taking forever.

command for BIOS system information: dmidecode (this is out there, but neat)
for a hardware listing: sudo lshw
for usb info on your machine: lsusb or for more info lsusb -v
for pci: lspci

how much drive space is left on your hard drive? df -hT (good to see it you are running out of space)

and there's a hundred more ...

[Qqmike]

I never mess with Vinny.

[Qqmike]

I don't know about mice. Maybe needs an extra/better driver? may be one written somewhere for Linux? big questions ...

[logan01]

Don't mess w/ Vinny. Tactical shotgun man.

[logan01]

Though logitech says they love linux, my mouse has a feature on the scroll wheel where you click down on it, it goes into auto scroll by moving the cursor up/down the page. Doesn't work here.

[Qqmike]

I picked this up from Vinny. The x's -- if you carefully read the man page because it is embedded in text --the x's indicate more information; so more and more and more for 3 x's. You can run it with one or two x's -Fx, -Fxx, and see the diff.

I was hoping to get you used to Muon, but that's good; you mean sudo apt-get install inxi?

Yep. I did install from Muon Package Manager today That's kind of Muonish.

[logan01]

Reading it now. Goodness! I believe I can order a burger from it,

[Qqmike]

I was hoping to get you used to Muon, but that's good; you mean sudo apt-get install inxi?

[logan01]

installing now via konsole

[Qqmike]

you'll be blown away by its information reporting on your system

[Qqmike]

no, talking to you! you wanted new stuff to play with .....

[logan01]

Are you talking to someone else because I don't recall inxi.

[Qqmike]

You won't find inxi in your Kubuntu.
In fact, open Konsole and run it:
inxi -Fxxx

Use Muon Package Manager to install inxi.

Run it in Konsole:
inxi -Fxxx

Read about it in the "man pages":
at Konsole run
man inxi
