I just did a clean install of Redhat 8.0 and when I launch the Hardware Browser it appears then disappears... odd. I have a feeling it doesn't like some of my hardware. It worked fine in RH 7.3? I'm new to Linux and this has me baffled?

Everything seems to be working fine...

Same problem here... I dont' know what it could be. Most of my hardware seems to be installed properly. Anyone figure this one out?

I can't offer a solution, but I have had exactly the same problem--with a clean install of Redhat 8.

I did find that when I launched it from the command prompt I got a whole bunch of error messages, none of which mean anything to this Linux newbie.

It seems we have to wait for a new version of
hwbrowser.
