Can you run Cpuz in Arch?

I had a go but I just got a blank window ;-(

would be handy, or would I be better using hardinfo?

thenight · 2008-01-27 07:55:51

Try this version: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/deskt … .cfm/v1_39
works for me.

iBertus · 2008-01-27 08:06:55

Why is it worth trying to get a Windows only app running to do this? I'm not sure that I would trust the results.

Mr Green · 2008-01-27 08:09:40

@ iBertus no I did not want to use window app and yes I would not trust the result... needed a little more info on system more than cpuinfo could provide

Its the overclocker in me! :-)

iBertus · 2008-01-27 08:12:15

I wonder why no decent app like CPU-Z exists for linux? I suppose it's simply because nobody has written it. :-/

Mr Green · 2008-01-27 08:16:44

well ... this is it I mean basic stuff is not a problem temps cpu speed etc... but motherboard bios ram settings nothing

tried 1.39 under latest wine get junk junk in a term ;-(

Did google last night but nothing really came out of it most ask the same question is there a cpuz for linux

Emmm will look at cpuz website

Thanks guys

cpu information: cat /proc/cpuinfo

sweet thanks....

many informations can also be found with lshal. easily borwsed with a gui like extra/gnome-device-manager (don't forget to display advanced properties to see the full information)
also 'dmesg | less' giving the kernel messages since current bootup may give additional informations

I agree that some piece of software giving a nice, dumpable, unified summary like cpuz does could be nice sometimes, but the use I have of it is too seldom to warrant coding anything.

Have done a PKGBUILD for this:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26015

brisbin33 · 2009-04-28 19:20:27

FYI: your pkgbuild made /usr/bin/perlmon a symlink to [build_directory]/perlmon/pkg/usr/share/perlmon/perlmon and i happen to delete my [build_directory] after i've built/installed a package. i'm not familiar enough with PKGBUILDs (yet) to offer a fix but i don't think this is desired behavior

edit: i fixed it with these post install commands

# rm /usr/bin/perlmon
# ln -s /usr/share/perlmon/perlmon /usr/bin/perlmon

dunno why the PKGBUILD is quirky like that

In fact, all the stuff in build() does (or should) just the same as the "Installer" perl script in the sources, adopted for a fakeroot build/install with makepkg.
The symlink assures that the program can be run by a bare "perlmon" console command instead of providing the whole path "/usr/share/perlmon/perlmon"

I couldn't edit the PKGBUILD-I was told permission denied:

Edit ./PKGBUILD with:
/usr/bin/yaourt: line 67: ./PKGBUILD: Permission denied

No matter, I got it to compile and install. It would seem that either my setup on my CPU is giving PerlMon a headache, or it is not up to date, or it is reporting incorrect data on my CPU.

See THIS page for correct cache:

Neat program though.

I wouldn't say the cache data is wrong.... it's 100% correct but refers to only one CPU-Core
OK L3-cache is missing completely and instructions are.. erm... incomplete..

that makes total sense... except... after installing the package, /usr/bin/perlmon was a symlink to /home/patrick/.aurget_dump/perlmon/pkg/usr/share/perlmon/perlmon which can't be right.

my rm and ln commands fix this, but i still don't know why it happens in the first place, maybe just my system; oh well

those commands are meant to be run after installation. do

ls -l /usr/bin/perlmon

and see where it points

if it points to /usr/share/perlmon/perlmon then you're fine; if not then you had the same result i did and should run my commands. the program will work fine as long as yoaurt doesn't clear it's build directory thereby leaving the faulty symlink functional.

Alright, now i got the point!

I've to look it up on my machine, I think it has to do with the fakeroot build environment, where "/" is in fact "$startdir/pkg".

Perhaps it's a better approach to create symlinks in the post.install script.. hum..

Any of those PKGBUILD-wizards out there?
