Dear cymon,

Oh, I see. I'm sorry. To get the output that I requested, please open up a terminal by following these steps:

1. Click the Ubuntu main menu.
2. Goto to the Accessories sub-menu.
3. Click on 'Terminal'.
4. Copy and paste "lspci -v" (without quotes) into the Terminal application.
5. Select and copy the output of the command into your next Launchpad post.
