Lansweeper uses a HAL (hardware abstraction layer) to scan hardware information on Linux computers. If a HAL is not installed on your Linux distribution by default, a "Hal-find-by-property" scanning error can occur.
To resolve the Linux scanning error:
- Verify whether a HAL is installed on your computer through a graphical package manager, or by entering one of the following commands in the terminal:
- Debian, Linux Mint, Ubuntu:
dpkg -s hal
- Fedora, Mageia, Red Hat:
rpm -q hal
- Sabayon:
equery list hal
- If it's not already, install a HAL. Use a graphical package manager or enter one of the following commands in the terminal:
- Debian, Linux Mint, Ubuntu:
apt-get install hal
- Fedora, Mageia, Red Hat:
sudo yum install hal
- Mageia:
sudo urpmi hal
- Sabayon:
sudo equo install hal
- To rescan your asset, go to Assets, select the asset you want to scan, then select Rescan asset.
Your "Hal-find-by-property" error should now be resolved.
