Bug ID: 452312
Summary: add motherboard, bios, RAM and other useful
information to about this system page
Product: kinfocenter
Version: master
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: About this System
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: bednarczyk.pa...@outlook.com
CC: sit...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Some new information was added to about this system page in
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400079; however, the information queried
from dmidecode in the system information section only seems to make sense in
certain cases, I think if it was populated by the OEM. On my custom PC, there
is absolutely nothing there:
Manufacturer: System manufacturer
Product Name: System Product Name
Version: System Version
Serial Number: System Serial Number
UUID: 28a962e9-d904-80f5-5358-04d9f5805357
Wake-up Type: Power Switch
SKU Number: SKU
Family: To be filled by O.E.M.
whereas my laptop has some juicy information that does make sense:
Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-5300U CPU @ 2.30GHz
Memory: 7,6 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 5500
Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
Product Name: HP EliteBook 840 G2
System Version: A3009D510203
However, dmidecode has other useful info that could be shown in case system
information does not have anything to offer.
Here are a few bits that could be useful to have in about this system based on
my PC and laptop:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-vendor
PC: American Megatrends Inc.
Laptop: Hewlett-Packard
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version
PC: 4204
Laptop: M71 Ver. 01.09
sudo dmidecode -s baseboard-manufacturer
PC: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
Laptop: Hewlett-Packard
sudo dmidecode -s baseboard-product-name
PC: ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING
Laptop: 2216
Here are some suggestions:
Current (no System Information from dmidecode):
Hardware
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor
Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
Proposed:
Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING
Bios: American Megatrends Inc. 4204
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor
Memory: G-Skill F4-3200C14-8GFX (32 GB)
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
Current (system information available):
Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-5300U CPU @ 2.30GHz
Memory: 7,6 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 5500
Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
Product Name: HP EliteBook 840 G2
System Version: A3009D510203
Proposed:
Motherboard: Hewlett-Packard 2216
Bios: Hewlett-Packard M71 Ver. 01.09
Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-5300U CPU @ 2.30GHz
Memory: Samsung M471B5173EB0-YK0 (8 GB)
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 5500
Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
Product Name: HP EliteBook 840 G2
System Version: A3009D510203
Note regarding RAM: a system can have multiple sticks from different
manufacturers; then perhaps RAM could be shown like this:
Memory: G-Skill F4-3200C14-8GFX (32 GB)
Samsung M471B5173EB0-YK0 (8 GB)
Fedeback is most welcome.
