This [Launchpad Page](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-friendly), will give some information. – Mitch Jan 03 '14 at 08:37
Is there a GTK version? – ThorSummoner Jun 27 '15 at 22:59

this doesn't exist. probably now `checkbox-converged` and available under Applications -> Other -> Checkbox – endolith Oct 14 '16 at 02:41
I am a bit confused... This seems to be a suite to test compatibility with ubuntu, rather than if the hardware is working OK (no problems with RAM memory, few bad blocks). Does it do both? How do I choose the hardware tests? – josinalvo Sep 24 '17 at 04:41
@josinalvo Checkbox is a test runner for Ubuntu. It aims to provide a common framework to run all types of tests, from hardware tests, to command line tests, unit tests or desktop tests. For all the test that you can do see [here](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Checkbox). – Mitch Sep 24 '17 at 08:10
Is there a CPU load test included? – Silicomancer Oct 03 '17 at 16:15

Not present anymore at least on 18.04. [_CheckboxNG replaces Checkbox, where applicable_](https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/checkbox_ng.1.html)? – Pablo Bianchi Jan 21 '19 at 00:15

hw-probe

Try hw-probe tool on your host with a Docker image or

sudo snap install hw-probe

The probe includes outputs of several Linux diagnostics tools (smartctl, memtester, etc.), hardware listers (hwinfo, dmidecode, biosdecode, etc.) and system logs (Xorg.log, dmesg, etc.).

Probe example: https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=0b29192f95
