Device Manager in version 12.10

[Gandalf6596]

Can someone, please, explain to me why the Device Manager will NOT install in the Ubuntu 12.10. I have read on the internet where people with previous version of Ubuntu have successfully installed the program.

I would have thought newer versions would back support programs.

Thanks...Trying to learn

As I understand it, the Device Manager application was only a front end to HAL which is deprecated.

No HAL = No Device Manager.
