I-Nex: Tool To List Hardware Information In Linux, Similar To CPU-Z

I-Nex is an application that gathers information for hardware components available on your system and displays it using an user interface similar to the popular Windows tool CPU-Z . I-Nex can display inf ormation f or the f ollowing components: CPU, GPU, Motherboard, Sound, Hard disks, RAM, Network and USB as well as some system inf o like the hostname, Linux distribution and version, Xorg, GCC, GLX versions and Linux Kernel inf o. Besides being able to display hardware inf ormation, I-Nex can also generate an advanced report f or which you can select what to include and optionally send the report to a service such as Pastebin (and others). It also f eatures an option to take a screenshot of the I-Nex window directly f rom the application. T he dif f erence between I-Nex and the other hardware inf ormation GUI tools available f or Linux (we wrote about some of them a while back) is that the inf ormation is better organized and is displayed f aster (than lshw-gtk f or instance). Also, the hardware inf ormation is presented in a way that's easier to understand than other such tools. T he only downside is that I-Nex uses a very new Gambas3 version f or the user interf ace so you have to add a PPA f or Gambas3, even on Ubuntu 13.04. Here are some I-Nex screenshots:

Note: just like with others such tools to list hardware information, the data it displays is not always 100% accurate!

Install I-Nex in Ubuntu

Like I was saying above, you must add the Gambas3 PPA along with the I-Nex PPA to be able to install INex in Ubuntu. To add both PPAs and install I-Nex in Ubuntu 12.04 and newer, use the following commands:

sudo sudo sudo sudo

add-apt -reposit ory ppa:nemh/gambas3 add-apt -reposit ory ppa:i-nex-development -t eam/st able apt -get updat e apt -get inst all i-nex

T hen, launch I-Nex f rom the menu / Dash. Arch Linux users can install the latest I-Nex f rom BZ R via AUR. For other Linux distributions, download the I-Nex source f rom Launchpad. But remember that you need a pretty new Gambas3 f or I-Nex to work (I've tested it with Gambas3 3.3.4). T here are also deb f iles available f or download on Launchpad, but you won't be able to install them unless you add the Gambas3 PPA above (f irst command). If you encounter bugs, report them @ Launchpad. application seen on lffl.org
