I have UNBUNTU 20.04 LTS, not sure my network card installed , would like to check the other hardware also for complete installation. my HDMI KVM is not working i have to connect an external keyboard and mouse.
There really isn't one. You can look for proprietary software by checking the preferences for software and updates (in Ubuntu). You can learn about your hardware easily with the terminal. There's lshw and inxi (which needs installation). There's also 'hardinfo' that you might enjoy.
Hello!
The solid linux way is to using the terminal (open one by: ctrl+alt+T).
You first must check with `lshw` what Networkdevice is attached on your computer (normaly to find under the point 'pci ... -network'). Then you can check with `lsmod` what modules (driver) are 'automaticly' used. If there no built-in module fit for you card, you need to install it from manufacturer (if they have some for linux builded!). Search it on vendors page, download if possible and follow the installing instructions.
Good luck.

What desktop are you using? Gnome? KDE? XFCE? which one? Post a screenshot if you don't know. Most of these provide some "similar" tools, so depending on that you might find the right one. KDE has KInfoCenter, in Gnome try Menu >> Applications >> System Tools, I think XFCE uses hardinfo not sure though. If anything, read here https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/s...dentification-tools---now-with-more-GUI-1104/ and of course there's the terminal way.
thanks for all of your replies. Tolkem how do i know if i have KDE or XFCE, ROBODOCTOR I will try that. KGlll I will try that too...lol this is like the 90s again when i was learning windows. i got to the internet so the network card was working. i had the linux box plugged into my sonic wall and apparently did not like that, probably was not getting an ip address from the dhcp server. so i plugged it into my verizon action tech router. MY next question is my HDMI KVM does not seem to work I have to use an external keyboard and mouse. The KVM has an HDMI and USB port that goes to the LInux box. is there enhanced USB drivers for Linux ? I went to the manufacturers web site and they do not even list the model of KVM i have.
If you installed Ubuntu from the Ubuntu download page and not some other Ubuntu flavor download page you are probably using Gnome since that is the default Desktop Environment for Ubuntu.
thanks for the replies will try the suggestions and post a screen shot. Did anyone see my second question? My HDMI KVM does not seem to work with my Linux box. i have to use an external keyboard and mouse plugged into the usb port. The KVM has an HDMI and usb cable plugged in. its a brightlink 4 port.
-As for the Linux OS I saw something that said "shared GNOME 3.34 UBUNTU Stack.....is that what you need?
without each other's help there ain't no hope for us!
