Command to get the list of connected hardware
 

Hi All,
How can I find that, how many and which device are connect to my Slackware system.

For Clarification, i would like to tell you that I am using this slackware on my VMware. I need to mount my usb drive but dont know who can i do that
..
Quick response expecting ...
thanks

!? :)

Try:
- for all your usb devices

or

- for all your pci devices

or generally

which lists all your hardware.

When it comes to your usb harddrive. Plug it in and type: dmesg | tail
It should mention something like /dev/sda or something similar so that you know what to mount.

I don't know what devices you want to see but with lspci you can see all pci devices and with lsusb all usb devices

i hope that helped

Type in dmesg|tail, after you put it in. It will say something like found device /dev/sda. Then you can mount it using mount /dev/sda /mnt, for example.

As the sign in the office says: "We have two speeds--If you don't like this one, you surely won't like the other..."

Hi I am so sorry, I didnt mean that, i was struggling past to day, so i was expecting quick help..

sda is not gonna work, as scenario is diff. I have installed slackware on VMware, So it is not getting detected, think.. or something else is happening I have no idea.

But main thing is that Slackware is on the VMware Workstation...
Kindly consider it as a very first point..

As far as I remember, in VMware for each virtual machine there are options whether to enable sound, floppy, usb, etc. You can find some settings there.

more description about scenario...
 

yes setting are the enable.
but my i m confused what should I put in mount command in first place

mount <what to put here> /mnt/usb

first argument is questionable..
people are telling me put sda or sda1, but as I am in VMware, the virtual hard drive it has been created that is scsi device, so my virtual hard drive is sda1...
I hope, I am making sense to you all ...
Thanks...
