How to install the Device Manager in Ubuntu

When using Windows, you might have come across Device Manager, the handy tool that lists your PC's hardware. Ubuntu offers a similar piece of software,but it isn't installed by default.

After you can connect to the Internet, you can install Device Manager using the Synaptic Package Manager, as follows:

1) Select System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager.

2) Click the Search button on the toolbar, and then type gnome-device-manager in the Search field. Click the Search button.

3) Click the program’s entry in the list of results. Select to mark it for installation (don't worry if a dialog box appears telling you additional software needs to be installed).

4) Click Apply on the toolbar.

5) Applications > system tools > device manager
