Public bug reported: The HAL device manager in System->Administration does not seem to produce any form of portable output. By portable output I mean a text file, a spreadsheet, a webpage or any data file that has all the information about the hardware on my computer.
See the output of the lshw command (at http://carthik.net/files/acer-5003.html ) for an example of how it could be. I submitted the details to the Ubuntu Hardware Database, the url is http://hwdb.ubuntu.com/?xml=1113b141ddb5a45e05235134dd13a87a The page has no details about my hardware, though the device manager reported success in submitting my hardware details correctly. ** Affects: hal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- HAL device manager does not produce portable output https://beta.launchpad.net/bugs/86194 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
