Hardware probe
Check operability of hardware devices, collect logs and find drivers.
About
The Gentoo Hardware Database is automatically created based on hardware probes collected by sys-apps/hw-probe, by hw-probe.AppImage and this flatpak.
The database is backed up to a Github repository for statistical analysis by third parties.
Install
root #emerge --ask sys-apps/hw-probeSubmit your hardware
Everybody can submit computer details to the database by a single command line:
root #hw-probe -all -uploadProbe for hardware ... Ok Reading logs ... Ok Uploaded to DB, Thank you! Probe URL: https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=65e73516b5
Statistics
By creating a hardware probe you contribute to the "HDD/SSD desktop-class reliability test" and "Devices with bad Linux-compatibility" studies.
Privacy
Private info is not collected. Moreover, it's safer to share your logs by hw-probe rather than share manually, because most private data is removed or hashed at the client side before uploading.
Warning
Please note that a 32-byte prefix of salted SHA512 hashes of MAC addresses and serial numbers are uploaded to the server in order to properly identify unique computers and parts. These are unlikely to be reversible.
