Dear Debian developers and maintainers, lshw-gtk is does not provide
nearly the amount of hardware information that it's supposed to.


Here is a copy of what it shows for my system with serial number and
uuid redacted :

                            Mini Tower Computer

                            product: OptiPlex 380

                            vendor: Dell Inc.

                            serial: redacted

                            width: 64 bits

                            capabilities:

                                SMBIOS version 2.5,

                                DMI version 2.5,

                                Symmetric Multi-Processing,

                                32-bit processes

                            configuration:

                                administrator_password: enabled

                                boot: normal

                                chassis: mini-tower

                                power-on_password: enabled

                                uuid: redacted



It should show things like USB and SATA controllers and the devices
connected to them, but it does not.
