You didn't follow the directions at the top of the sme8 contribs wiki page.  If you follow those instructions then you will end up with a sme7contribs repo that points to where the smeserver packages reside.  You then need to enable smecontribs and sme7contribs and install the smeserver-hwinfo and it will pull in the correct dependencies for sme8.

If that is all you did, then you have not installed the smeserver-hwinfo contrib, which explains why nothing is visible in the Configuration section of the server-manager.
That's what I figured Charly,

I initially looked up wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA which said "install as per wiki, works as expected "

but the wiki.contribs.org/Hardware_Info says to
"yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-hwinfo" which results in
"No package smeserver-hwinfo available."

So then I tried
"yum  --enablerepo=smecontribs list" which has no hwinfo in the list, only lshw: so I installed that,
recognising the result of a command line only outcome,
but I am at a lose to know what else to do.

any advice on where my thinking went astray would be appreciated
regards Rob

Once again as slords already said:

If you follow the above you should be able to install the pacakge using something like this:
Code: [Select]
yum install smeserver-hwinfo --enablerepo=smecontribs --enablerepo=sme7contribs

Thanks Cactus for the reminder

And My apology to all for my missing a point,
( I am not 100% at the moment eh!).

And again thanks for a great contrib: from what I see it works fine on sme8

I am having the same problem of getting "package not found" for the inputs posted on the hwinfo page.  I am running SME Server 8.0beta6.

I tried running the commands listed here:

http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8#Pointing_repositories_to_SME_8

but I got the same results.

I haven't run this code,

http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8#Performing_the_upgrade

because my system is already upgraded.

What am I missing?  Should I run that 'upgrade' code?  What installation commands should I use?

Even simpler, I want to know how much space I have left on my hard drive.  Will hwinfo do that?

Not sure, but if you login as root and issue the following command you will also know the answer to your question:

And you also enabled the smecontribs7 repository as detailed in http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA#Setup

OK, I did that and applied:

Code: [Select]
yum install smeserver-hwinfo --enablerepo=smecontribs --enablerepo=sme7contribs
and it appears to have installed correctly.

And no, this contrib does not appear to be able to tell me how much room is left on my hard drive.
