Description William Jon McCann 2013-02-25 15:31:26 UTC 
We should add the system vendor and product name to the system details view.

cat /sys/class/dmi/id/{sys_vendor,product_name,product_version}

Seems useless on my desktop system:

# cat /sys/class/dmi/id/{sys_vendor,product_name,product_version}
System manufacturer
System Product Name
System Version

This:

# cat /sys/class/dmi/id/{board_vendor,board_name}
ASUSTeK Computer INC.
P6T DELUXE V2

might work as a fallback though.

Comment 18 André Klapper 2021-06-09 16:32:05 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new bug report at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
