Hi all,
I'm trying to find name of my m/b without opening the chassis/cover of the system. I have tried all the usual suspects of dmidecode, lspci, lsusb, dmesg, lshw, cpuid and saidar but nowhere nearer. Any clues people?
I am giving below the info. generated by various stuff.
Code:
$ uname -r
2.6.27-7-generic
Now dmidecode
Code:
$ dmidecode
# dmidecode 2.9
