Bug Description

I installed feisty today and their was an option under system tools to report hardware problems and solutions. When I got my network working feisty wanted to install over 250MB of updates, I said yes and brought the system up to date. Rebooted. The system tools subset of applications had disappeared - synaptic is now under system but I cannot find the hardware reporter.
I was looking because I have things to report about wireless usb stick and tvcard.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have enough information.

Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.

For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelProblems . Thanks in advance!

Sorry but more info not available
Please READ my post and it is plain what the problem is
If you do not believe then install feisty on a pc does it have
applications/system on it in my case YES
Then update with 250+mb of updates and look at applications/system again

Changing this from being on the kernel, it's definitely not a kernel bug. Hopefully the correct person will now be able to find this bug.

Changed in linux-source-2.6.20:

Do you see a 'Control Center' menu under System? If yes then please update your system with latest upgrades. 'Control Center' is analogous to control panel in Windows but it si now not there by default due to some problems. So you will have all the menus back after upgrade.

I believe the original reporter is looking for the Hardware Database utility, after it is first run it is removed from the menu system. However, you can access it again by running '/usr/bin/hwdb-gui' in a terminal.
