Can Puppy identify the type of RAM?
Can Puppy identify the type of RAM?
Hi Guys,
Is there a command or GUI I can use to request the type of RAM ie DDR etc not just it’s value so I can add more memory ( I only have 64MB ). I done often by just opening the case but if software does it, great.

lshw -C memory

lshw -c memory
Thanks DPUP5520 for replying.
Tried the code you suggested with the outcome lshw not found by bash. Googled the code and found I needed to be in root with superuser rights.
If so how do I get to that point via Command Line with those rights as I thought I was superuser anyway.
Using Puppy 431,Wary or Lucid

You are running in root, as I also use Ubuntu and this is where the code comes from I thought it might be in Puppy too but apparently not. Why not use the program Hardinfo I thought that was included in the Puppy main releases?

I don't think it's installed by default:Grem41 wrote:Thanks DPUP5520 for replying.

You probably only need to install (Puppy knows how to install a .deb package):

Don't directly install deb packages if you use a printer with your puppy.
Rather do something like this script:
Then follow dialogs and install the pet you'll find in /tmp
Rather do something like this script:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
tempdir="/tmp/lshw-02.14-1"
mkdir -p "$tempdir" && cd "$tempdir"
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lshw/lshw_02.14-1_i386.deb
undeb lshw_02.14-1_i386.deb
rm lshw_02.14-1_i386.deb
dir2pet "$tempdir"

thanks for the tip.
Anyone vaguely familiar with Google should know that hundreds of
sites tell you exactly what kind of ram you need.
Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.
Eeepc 8g 701, 900Mhz, 1Gb ram.
Full installs

Does it break the printer if you do a direct install? The Puppy-Package-Manager knows and records when you install a .deb (at least on recent versions: 4.3.1, 5.20)neurino wrote:Don't directly install deb packages if you use a printer with your puppy.

OK, I'm a little puzzled. The package referenced above was "lshw" (list hardware), which is a pretty simple package. I've had very good luck with such "simple" packages (mg, lshw, and even dosemu).pemasu wrote:At least some browsers installed from .deb has changed permissions of cups files.
The result is that cups wont print anymore. There are at least two separate reports of that. Neurino has one example somewhere inside forum.
However I agree, I would not encourage installation of very complex packages (e.g. browsers, compilers, etc) from .deb packages. Just getting the dependencies working is likely to break something else.
