I can't find my /sbin/lspci file for uploading info for HCL
I am trying to upload my system's info into the HCL, but I cannot find a file or folder called "/sbin/lspci". The closest thing I can find is "/sbin/lspcmcia -> pccardctl*" (which I know is a link due to the color coding, and the "->") When I opened the pccardctl file with an editor, I received this error message: "Too much binary data in file. You may view it, but not modify or re-save its contents."
I can't paste the output correctly either... this is what I get when I try:
Code:
ELF
Is this the wrong file? Where is the correct file?

The file /sbin/lspci is not the file you need to read to get the information you're looking for, but the file you need to run to get the information. Opening /sbin/lspci in a text editor, as you have discovered, is pointless.
You need to open a terminal, become root (or assume root privileges using sudo), and then type lspci. Then copy the output that it produces in the terminal to the HCL.
