Hi,

Very nice tool indeed ! I thank you too.

I have to say something as a (small) criticism however : I would not quite define "dmesg" that way.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmesg

Quote
dmesg (for "display message") is a command on some Unix-like operating systems that prints the message buffer of the kernel.


When you invoke dmesg after a boot you'll have the messages relevant to boot, and at any other time the messages from kernel buffer that are relevant to what's occuring at that moment.

If some errors are to be displayed they are, but if no errors are to be diplayed, none are : that's why I wouldn't define it the way it is actually on that gui. (My 2 cents... )

dmesg (for "display message") is a command on some Unix-like operating systems that prints the message buffer of the kernel.

I agree. That looks like a better explanation.  Wink

haha, now you don't even have to go to the command line, to use the command line!

Eerrr...Not quite--at least from my experience.  It's not in the menu as an item, as I still have to open up Konsole and type systeminfo.
One still has to go to the command line and become root to use it.  I expected it to be installed in the menu under System.  It's still a nice tool not unlike lshw, which I see is included.

Bloomer,
If systeminfo is not in your menu, you can add it. Open System >Configuration > Menu Editor and click on Configuration under System. Click File > New Item and enter the information. The launch command is systeminfo.

BTW, you do not have to be root to launch this application.

Neal: thanks for the bit about adding it to the menu.  I assumed one had to be root because of what I was checking, like, hd partitions, bios info, etc.

Check first. An assumed answer turns out to be a false answer too often to depend on assumption. Smiley

I just installed it on 2009.2 clean install/updated and it shows in the menu under System -> Monitoring. It also launches from there just fine and only asks for root password when needed to access the required utilities that are dependent on root access.

It's not convenient to move cursor to right down corner each time to click OK. It should be column 'info' with button in the same line where is located command with radio-button. Just like in Control Center\System\Services.

I installed it onto a minime and tried to test it out using lshw to see information about my hardware. Guess what, I didn't have lshw installed on my Minime. systeminfo asked me if I wanted to install it and asked for my root password and did a fine job of installing it. GRATE piece of software!  Thank You!
