I installed Hardinfo on my Dell Inspiron 3501 running Ubuntu 20.04. I installed hardinfo:

sudo apt-get install -y hardinfo

When I select 'Storage' in the GUI nothing populates. The pane/window is totally blank. I have run hardinfo in the command line and I am receiving the following error:

Warning: truncated a line (probably flags list) longer than 896 bytes while reading /proc/cpuinfo.

Upon further inspection the 'Flags' field in /proc/cpuinfo is populated with a large quantity of strings and characters. Therefore this error is to be expected in my opinion.

I just ran:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall hardinfo

This did not fix the issue with 'storage'. I have checked the other "sections" of the GUI and all other portions of the output seem to be functioning normally. I have also posted the link of the forum in which I first reported the issue to the askubuntu community, where I have detailed all the steps I have taken so far to attempt to fix the issue.
