How To View Your Hardware Information Using Ubuntu linux

Go to Applications/ Accessories and then to Terminal

Once you have your terminal open you will have the follow text: yourname@yourname-desktop:~$

You will need to go to super user and to do that you need to type sudo su and then your password. you will see "root@yourname-desktop:/home/yourname#" After the pound key (#) you need to type in the code: lshw (I suggest copy and paste) and press enter.

All your hardware information will appear on your terminal.

For this code: lshw -C disk you will get the specific details on your disks.

and finally this code lshw -html > your-file-name.html will put together all of your hardware information and format it into a HTML file. The HTML file will be placed in the following location: /home/yourname

You could rename the html file to anything you want such as: lshw -html>myhardwareinformation.html
