General :: Get Main Board Product Name Without Sudo?
May 10, 2011
I have found two ways to get the main board product name: [sudo lshw][sudo dmidecode] Is it the nature of this info that's making it protected or is it the source code of these tools?Is there any way to get main board product name without sudo? Shall I dig inside the source code of these tools?

Will i be able to boot openSUSE and other OS on same disk after replacing main board. i wish to set raid 5 but lack additional sata ports on main board. The boards have same pci, audio and graphic hardware.
I am proposing moving from the mainframe to Linux. Problem is that I am not aware of a scheduling product that is available to handle the production code. Currently using CA7. Is there anything out there that accomplishes the same thing? As you can tell, I am NEW to Linux!
I used usb_modeswitch but the result was "No default vendor/product found." But usbmod_switch.conf file has all the vendor & product id contained in it. And modeprobe is also not effective. Even Sakis3g script fails to switch my datacard into modem. How to use BSNL Data Card in Fedora 13?
I have been trying to figure this out for a long time now and can't seem to get it to work. I have three serial ports I need to communicate with. The first one works, but the other two, which have identical product and vendor IDs, do not. This is what I have so far under /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules/
i installed linux OS on my lpc3131 board with kernel 2.6.20. I want to install gcc to my board in order to compile codes without cross compiler or auxilary PCs. But i think it must be different then installing gcc rpm on Fedora PC or untar and make gcc, I dont know what i must do. what release or version of gcc should i download and what kind of changes must i do in Makefile.
I'm searching for the cheapest single board computer which can run Linux. It must have ethernet and at least one serial port.I'm currently looking at these modules from Technologic Systems, but wondering if there's anything cheaper out there?
My board is not supported for U-boot. But it got an ARM920T core onboard running at 100MHz. It got a serial, JTAG and USB line. Can I custom port the U-boot for my board?
I am trying to build a low cost computer, and over the last few days, I was interested in Linux as my OS to use. All I really need for the computer was the internet, word processors, and 3 games: "Wizard101", "Fusion Fall", and "Free Realms". Would Linux run on a built computer with an AMD processor and an on-board GPU? And would Linux run all of my needs/wants for this computer?
I am trying to load u-boot 1.1.6 in my samsung s3c6410 board. i am getting a error in this process,
s3c6410 # make clean s3c6410 # make smdk6410_config Above two command worked fine with out any error. s3c6410 #make executing the above command i am getting a lot of errors, such as start.s:o: error:bad value (armv5t) for -march=switch interrput.s:o: error:bad value (armv5t) for -march=switch
I am new to the porting, get me out of this problem
I've been trying to use the onboard modem on my laptop for Internet connectivity. From what I can gather, Ubuntu hasn't installed a driver for the modem.
When I connect my phone using a usb cable to the laptop, I'm able to connect and browse. However, the network manager doesn't seem to have a driver for the onboard modem because it doesn't recognize it.
My friend has a HP Pavilion dv2699ea (dv2500 series - somehow *shrugs*) that has stopped working. It's a Core2Duo laptop with a Nvidia GPU. The unit is no longer under warranty. Problems first started a few days ago with the laptop showing corrupted graphics in Windows and BSOD'ing after a few minutes of use. I tried booting to an Ubuntu LiveCD which worked for a while before succuming and crashing as well. The freezing/graphics corruption/BSODing does seem somewhat heat related (CPU runs at ~95'c under load) however I believe that if it is heat related, then it's already damaged components inside.
Now the system has corrupted graphics on bootup[1], including booting Ubuntu[2], and neither operating systems will boot at all (Windows can sometimes get logged in before showing a black screen and becoming unresponsive. Ubuntu just looks like [3] after X starts). (See comment below for links.)
The fact the problem occurs both under Linux and Windows says to me this is not a driver issue. I have run Memtest which passed fine and none of this seems HDD related as I managed to get ~30GB of data off the system before it finally gave up the ghost.
She has been using it repeatedly without giving it adequate ventilation for years (i.e. on the bed, or on a pillow), so it's my opinion that the system board has probably warped over years of cooling/heating and that's causing this current problem. If that is the case, then I can buy a replacement system board and fit it myself, saving about £200 over the cost of an out-of-warranty HP repair. Of course, I don't want to make her spend £100 on a replacement part for it to be the wrong thing, hence asking for a second opinion here!
Hopefully I've covered all the bases here. I'm a former IT support guy myself, so I've tried all the dumb stuff (driver updates, examining memory dumps from BSODs [one 'unrecoverable hardware error', three relating to the graphics card], etc).
I'm trying to run a shell script on a kern board (av1100) that shows some text output on the attached screen. The big problem is that the screen goes to blank in like 2 minutes.I'd just like to have the script showing it's output while the thing is on.Isn't there a command to stop the screen from going to blank?p.s. there is no bash available, just #!/bin/sh
I have a question, I have a Windows 7 CD that I had used on a computer, and it is my understanding that you can use RemoveWAT to remove the need for a product activation key, so my question is, will running RemoveWAT on a Windows 7 Boot CD allow me to then install Windows 7 on Ubuntu using virtual box?
I've got a laptop here where the Windows product key has been torn from the bottom. Windows will not boot up on this laptop (it blue screens). When I remove the hard drive from the laptop and install it into my working Windows computer, the partition shows up as "raw". However, the partition mounts under Ubuntu just fine, so I'm wondering if there are any Linux tools that will allow me to retrieve the Windows 7 product key, from within Linux...
I'm looking for an open source solution to replace Cisco CS-MARS. MARS aggregates syslog data sent to it from remote devices and creates an attack mitigation plan that can then be applied to the devices. It can be used with servers, security appliances and network devices.
I had a brief look at snort, but that seems to function at the packet level and does not aggregate syslog data. Does anyone have experience or maybe know of a product I should look at?
I have installed slacware 13 on an intel server, but the IP add that i have assigned does not work. I used ifconfig to check the ip but it shows me 127.0.0.1. I have run netconfig with the ip address i need and restart the machine, but it goes back to 127.0.0.1

Microsoft has a product called Microsoft SharedView. This allows me to see the other person's desktop to do some troubleshooting. Does Ubuntu have a similar software product?
My girlfriend of over a year recently bought a Toshiba laptop. Don't know much about it for I have not seen it myself. 3GB of RAM. Anyway, it's a Windows 7 Home Premium Edition. She has Microsoft Office 2007 pre-installed on it. Now, it's asking for a Product Key, which she does not have. Why? I don't know. I guess they didn't give her a box that has one on it, or something.
So, she sent Microsoft an e-mail and is now awaiting a reply. Anything that I can (LEGALLY) do to help her figure out the Product Key? She said there is one inputed (didn't think that was a word) in the dialog window asking for it, but it says that it's incorrect.
I'm trying to find a way to retrieve the Windows 7 Product Key from another partition on my computer.
I really only use windows to play MMOs, but an attempt to install ie9 has completely borked my windows install... even the fancy automatic windows repair gives up and says it can do nothing.
The Computer originally had Vista on it, and I upgraded it to 7 using the free upgrade kit HP gave away to new computer buyers. I can reinstall vista, since I kept the restore partition for it, but my upgrade disk had the product key on the sleeve and the sleeve for my disk has gone missing.
I tried a few programs through wine that either don't work because certain functions are not available, so the fields that would have the info are blank. Or the program requires windows admin privileges and wine doesn't have a "run as administrator" function to it (yet).
Anyone know of a way to extract the product key? I know I have to re-install.. I just don't fancy having to use vista (except to re-upgrade to 7).
