hi all, i’m new to opensuse… please don’t laugh when i ask dumb questions!
first off, in ubuntu based systems i was able to run “lspci -v” in the terminal to get a rundown of all the hardware on the system
i’m assuming there’s an analagous command in opensuse? what is it?
thanks

It’s the same. Just has to be runned as root user:
hpc02@stthpc:~> su -c ‘lspci -v’
and type the root password.

In openSUSE, the directory /sbin is not in the search path. Use
‘/sbin/lspci -v’ to do what you want. If you try a utility such as
lspci and it is not found, use the command ‘which lspci’ to determine
its path.

It does not have to be run as root. You need do that only if you need
one of the privileged operations. Using the switch -v does not need
any special privilege.

It’s not about the “-v” argument.
Just try it your self and look for the difference of both outputs (one
runned as root and one runned as user).
Hint: Capabilities?

‘/sbin/lspci -v’ did the trick
