Bug 2428694

Using the latest version from Repo lshw-gui only shows first column of data with very basic info.
Getting the B.02.20-10 version from git clone, the lshw-gui works fine.

From Fedora 43 machine
793272 Jul 23 17:00 lshw-org
    53 Jul 23 17:00 lshw-gui
793112 Jul 23 17:00 gtk-lshw-org
298040 Jan 11 08:03 lshw
357276 Jan 11 08:04 gtk-lshw

The org are the latest Fedora repo versions that don't work fully.
The newer ones are B.02.20-10 from git clone, and do work fully.
Did strip and use upx compression. 
Sent emails to two Fedora maintainers, but have gotten no reply.

Fedora list said to file bug report.

When originally created wouldn't let me type in area, so made comment?

Here is latest mess from Fedora list on issue.

Did some more looking.
Download from git shows version on one screen as version as 
B.02.20 but other shows B.02.20.10

On Fedora 42 rpm shows
lshw-B.02.20-6.fc42.x86_64
lshw-gui-B.02.20-6.fc42.x86_64

On Fedora 43 shows
lshw-B.02.20-9.fc43.x86_64
lshw-gui-B.02.20-9.fc43.x86_64

So running the B.02.20-10 git clone version with no problem on 
both, but rpm still shows the old version from Fedora repos.

Sent email to the Fedora two maintainers, but no response from 
site https://project.ezix.org/ bad gateway.

Will try bugzilla in a few days if no response. Looks like just 
creating an rpm with the B.02.20-10 version to replace the 
B.02.20-9 version.

Thanks.

Looked at status and not sure if it is now testing or has been ignormed?
Update to latest commit at upstream git repo and fix a build issue

This update has been submitted for testing by terjeros.
3 hours ago

This update's test gating status has been changed to 'ignored'.
3 hours ago

Not sure which is latest.

To Note. The output of lshw 9 and 10 seem to be the same, but the gtk-lshw is greatly different.
gtk-lshw with 9 only shows the 1st and 4th colums and no lower levels.
gtl-lshw with 10 shows the various levels of information.

So, not clear on the status changed ignored, since it the gui version is almost useless without providing access to the other information.

Could send screen captures of the results of the current repo versions and the newer from git clone.

Running from commmand line gtk-lswh-org version 9 and the gtk-lshw from the git clone

shw-B.02.20-9.fc43.x86_64
lshw-gui-B.02.20-9.fc43.x86_64


lshw --version
Hardware Lister (lshw) - B.02.20.10
usage: lshw [-format] [-options ...]
       lshw -version

	-version        print program version (B.02.20.10)
gtk-lshw B.02.20.10

Hmm, seems to be some version confusion here, I don't
see how version can be B.02.20.10, it that a version
you built yourself?

What is output of

$ which lshw

?

Regarding -9 and -10 in the RPM, these are release/build numbers, version is B.02.20 for both.

Note:
The updated package is merely submitted, it's not available in testing repos yet.

An additional week is needed for update to go from testing to updates repo.

Ticket will be updated as the process continue.

The repo versions of lshw-gui gtk-lshw are broken.
43 shows version -9
42 shows version -6

Running the official repo versions, it only shows the very basic info.
running gtk-lshw-org  (repo version -9)
It shows the first column with notebook and 4th column with basic info)
Clicking on first columnn does NOTHING.

With the version B.02.20.10 from git clone It does the same, but then clicking on the Notebook in column one,
It then shows 14 items in column 2 starting with motherboard
Clicking on Motherboard then shows a 3rd column starting with BIOS, System Memory.

So, there gtk-lshw and lshw-gui versions are crippled versions.

The script I use to install the working version.
# cat lshw-install.sh 
cd /tmp
mv lshw lshw.bk
git clone https://github.com/lyonel/lshw
cd lshw
make
make gui
make install
make install-gui
strip /usr/sbin/lshw
strip /usr/sbin/gtk-lshw
upx /usr/sbin/lshw
upx /usr/sbin/gtk-lshw

From my Fedora 43 Machine I have
793272 Jul 23 17:00 /usr/sbin/lshw-org
    53 Jul 23 17:00 /usr/sbin/lshw-gui
793112 Jul 23 17:00 /usr/sbin/gtk-lshw-org
298040 Jan 11 08:03 /usr/sbin/lshw
357276 Jan 11 08:04 /usr/sbin/gtk-lshw

The lshw-gui is just a link to the gtk-lshw

So,just concerned if the ignored meant that nothing was going to be fixed, and the broken versions of the lshw-gui would remain?
I've solved issue for myself. 
Note the git clone compile versiono is about 5M each, using strip gets them down to about 1M, and the upx compression as it mentions brings them down to the 300K and 350K sizes

Created attachment 2122198 [details]
The repo version 9 of lshw gui only shows this info. Nothing more broken

Only shows limited info. Clicking on notebook does not open the other columns

Created attachment 2122200 [details]
The later -10 version from git clone correctly allows other data

Had used the repo version at some earlier point and it had worked correctly, but just was looking at info on memmory, and it would no show any info.
Found the later version from git clone as mentioned in earlier messages, and this one allows the earlier data to be seen. Don't know which version had it break.

Attached two images.
One is the office repo version 9 for Fedora 43, and only shows one set of info.
The version for the git clone 10. Allows that, plus can go to multiple levels of data.

This site for lshw seems to be https://project.ezix.org/ but it currently gives the 502 bad gateway error.

Hi,

I would be helpful if you could follow instructions to test the updated package in updates-testing repo and report back.

btw: upstream lshw project you will find here: https://github.com/lyonel/lshw

The Update seems to work, but on minor thing.
The version from git clone shows B.02.20.10 while the updates-testing version shows B.02.20
Not a big deal. 

Versions from the regular repo
793272 Jul 23 17:00 lshw-org
793112 Jul 23 17:00 gtk-lshw-org

The build from git clone (with strip and upx compression)
298040 Jan 11 08:03 lshw-git
357276 Jan 11 08:04 gtk-lshw-git

The lshw-gui (link to gtk-lshw)
    53 Jan 11 16:00 lshw-gui

The files from the updates-testing
797416 Jan 11 16:00 lshw
892152 Jan 11 16:00 gtk-lshw

So, update does seem to work fine. 
Note sure what is modified between git clone version and updates-testing repo.
