Thanks for your reply. I have now done new tests with the following results.
1) Test of hardinfo on Hardy Heron Alpha 2: The program works generally very well. I cannot make it crash. 1a) However, the CPU ZLib test fails with an error message. It says "Cannot load ZLib. /usr/lib/libz.so not found". I suggest that when the hardinfo is installed from the repo it also pulls down the Zlib as dependency. I think the package name is zlib1g (is it right?). Study the picture: http://www.edbl.no/tmp/hardinfo-error-2.png 1b) There are also other minor issues with the presented data that could be improved. The issues are: The Devices -> Sensors should give proper name to the sensors. Now it just reports fan1, fan2,... and temp1, temp2, temp3 which are meaningless names. Study the picture: http://www.edbl.no/tmp/hardinfo-improve-temperature-info.png I know that lm-sensors (and CLI programs: sensors and sensors-detect) can distinguish between the various sensors and give them right names. Also GNOMEs "Hardware Sensor Monitor" applet shows correct sensor names. Study the picture: http://bildr.no/view/134268 (properties of "Hardware Sensor Monitor" applet in GNOME, taken from my Hardy Heron installation) ----------------- 2) Test of updgraded hardinfo on Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy. I removed the old hardinfo (apt-get remove) and installed the upgraded version provided by Cesare Tirabassi http://ppa.launchpad.net/norsetto/ubuntu/pool/main/h/hardinfo/hardinfo_0.4.2.3-1~ppa1_i386.deb This hardinfo version works very well and it didn't crash anymore. But note the matter listed in 1b). ---------- -- Hardinfo crashes during processing the Benchmarks. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
