I sold my old laptop to neighbours and it was stolen from them. Well i think i have found thief so i want to check his computer id and compare it to my old Launchpad bugs id. How in Launchpad i can find from my bugs:

  • Motherboard
  • HDD
  • Somthing else that can help identify it

Maybe how to recover or find some overwritten files (couse now there is windows)

I found in Launchpad one my bugs has LSPCI autogenerated from bug 682846 https://launchpadlibrarian.net/70611231/Lspci.txt but i dont see any id that can be used to identify specificly my comp. This can be used to identify many same models. Or i missed something in there?

And what commands should i use to get all identification on that comp in one go fast? Just lspci? How to get same lspci as it is in that Launchpad link? Now testing laspci on my computer i dont get so much info.

Also im now doing a search in my external hdd where i have many backups and maybe i have there result from lspci. So what containing keywords would help doing search with for small lspci and full reports ive done? I might have done sudo lshw > somefilename

Rather than doing something complicated, do you have the laptop's serial number? If you do, you could use that as proof. Alternatively, you could, as Web-E said, use the computer's MAC address.

Bluetooth has a MAC as well. Maybe you have the pairing still in a phone or similar device an you can get the MAC from there.

You can get the laptop's serial number with dmidecode. That is only useful if you could get a copy of your purchase receipt.

sudo dmidecode -t system
