Sorry, it doesn't show all the devices on my laptop (like, graphics card, audio, disks, etc). It only shows the motherboard and a description of it.

sudo apt-get install gnome-device-manager

Did you search software centre for possible solutions??

I tried the software center and couldn't find a solution. When I run your command above I get as follows:

williepabon@williepabon-VGN-N130G:~$ sudo apt-get install gnome-device-manager

williepabon@williepabon-VGN-N130G:~$

Maybe it is a different repository from the ones that are in my software sources. Any ideas?
