Some suggestions for HardInfo #653

Open coffeecrisp opened 2 years ago

I run Kubuntu 22.04 which comes with version 0.6-alpha.

1. Under Devices, Processor section, the cache is written as 6x 32 KB (192 KB) etc. This is not consistent with the rest. Under KDE, there is a file ./config/kdeglobals

Add this line [Locale] BinaryUnitDialect=0 and it displays RAM the EIC way (1024 B = 1 kiB)

[Locale] BinaryUnitDialect=1 and it displays RAM the JEDEC way (1024 B = 1 KB)

[Locale] BinaryUnitDialect=2 and it displays RAM the metric way (1024 B = 1.024 kB)

2. In the Devices->memory section, can we make it display maybe a 2 nd column in MB, a 3 rd column in GB. Can it display RAM speed, how many RAM slots are available, which RAM slot is populated?

3. In the Devices->Sensors. On my system, it shows k10temp/temp1 and the temperature. What is k10temp/temp1?

4. In the Devices->Memory SPD, it says Please load the eeprom module to obtain information about memory SPD. I’m not sure what that means. Why isn’t my eeprom module loaded?

5. Shouldn’t there be a Network card thing under Devices? What about Sound cards?

6. Why aren’t the headers resizeable? Is this because of GTK? In some places, the text is white on a light grey background. It is hard to read.

7. The benchmark section. It should not run a benchmark when we click on the Tree View. There should be a button that says “Run Benchmark”

======================== I usually code with Qt, C++ but I don’t touch STL, auto and other new things. Perhaps I can help with some algorithms.

I think I'll split this into a few issues to make it easier to tackle them one by one - there's currently no maintainer for this project so anything to make it easier is good.

Done, here:

Hardinfo:

If you're happy with these sub-reports, I guess we can close this one now. I've asked extra questions in some of them to help me reproduce them.
