Ive only been running Ubuntu for about 8 months now... can move around pretty good, but at first couldnt figure out how to run this. I installed it fine in the terminal, and then typed "dmidecode" in the terminal to run it but get this error: dmidecode 2.9 /dev/mem: Permission Denied I then did "gksudo dmidecode" and it worked fine.
