    Well, Device manager is a great handy tool in windows, but if you have installed Ubuntu than there is no Device Manger by default in this OS. But you can install Device Manager using the Synaptic Package Manager on your Ubuntu system but it requires internet connection. If you have internet than do through this steps:-

    1. Go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager.
    2. Go to Toolbar and click search button.
    3. Now type gnome-device-manager in the search field and click search.
    4. Click the program’s entry in the list of results. Select to mark it for installation
    5. Click Apply. Thats it...

    You can find device manager from Applications > System Tools > Device Manager.

    In case you dont have internet connection, you can download Device Manager for your Ubuntu system on any other computer with internet connection and install it to you computer.
