Can’t find the YaST2 hardware detection tool in Yast.
Did it move? Was it replaced?
It still present here - TW 20201117
yast2-hardware-detection is installed?
Yes, yast2-hardware-detection 4.1.1-1.4
In Yast, the only options in the Hardware section are:
System Keyboard Layout
Scanner
Printer
Sound
Am I wrong, or isn’t that where it should be?
Do you know the terminal command?
Same here with Hardware Information.
Question:
What do you think should also be there?
I may be nuts but I thought there used to be a tool there that would probe the system and provide a “hardware report” that could be viewed and saved.

yast2-hardware-detection
you have to install it.
https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/x86_64/yast2-hardware-detection-4.1.1-1.4.x86_64.rpm
The ‘yast2-hardware-detection’ package provides this. Maybe it is missing?
For reference…
YaST > Hardware > Hardware Information
It is installed, but I don’t see the icon to activate the tool in YaST.
Can you invoke it using
xdg-su -c "yast2 hwinfo"
xdg-su -c "yast2 hwinfo"
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
No such client module hwinfo
This reddit thread describes the same. The ‘yast2-tune’ package was also mentioned, so perhaps relevant to your situation?
It should be the hardware information.
You click it, it scans your system and provide you the information and you can save it.
I have it in tumbleweed with the latest snapshot.
The command will be:
su … password
yast2 hwinfo
yast2 hwinfo
No such client module hwinfo
That looks the same.
I searched in OpenSuse software and found Yast2-tune
https://software.opensuse.org/package/yast2-tune
Installed it and that is the issue.
Thanks
Good result!
