lshw run as root crashes, lspci - no info #334

Closed tedm closed 11 years ago

tedm commented 11 years ago

on ARM, getting lshw, it runs as user, but crashes when run as root.

lspci does not provide any info, there is no /proc/bus/pci dir ?

lsusb works

xfce, precise, dev channel

ARM doesn't use PCI, and I'm sure lshw makes a host of similar assumptions that fail on ARM. Not really an issue.

tedm commented 11 years ago

right, but since running it as user spits out some info, and exits properly, running as root, it shouldn't crash.

Yeah, because it can't really do anything interesting without root. If it's really an issue for you, play with -disable to see what's making it crash:
