About
Check hardware devices operability and find drivers.
The Fedora Hardware Database is automatically created based on hardware probes collected by this RPM package or by this flatpak.
It is a part of the global Linux Hardware Database, the successor of Smolt project. The database is mirrored to a Github repository for statistical analysis by third parties.
Installation
# dnf install hw-probe
For RHEL/CentOS version 6 and 7 the package is available as well in the EPEL repository.
Usage
Submit your hardware:
# hw-probe -all -upload
Output:
Probe for hardware ... Ok Reading logs ... Ok Uploaded to DB, Thank you! Probe URL: https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=c84b37d646
Decode ACPI tables (requires acpica package):
# hw-probe -all -upload -decode-acpi
Perform simple graphics tests (requires mesa-demos package):
# hw-probe -all -upload -check
Import created probes to a local directory:
