phpsysinfo doesn't detect Ubuntu

[Fabio Marzocca]

When running phpsysinfo on Ubuntu, in the Sistem Vital description the Distro Name is reported as Debian unstable/testing and debian's icon is displayed... This is because application is gathering the distro name from the file /etc/debian_version, and in ubuntu that file contains "unstable/testing". I had to manually patch the file /usr/share/phpsysinfo/includes/os/class.Linux.inc.php replacing Debian with Ubuntu Breezy, and loading the correct icon..

which version of php? 4 or 5?

Thx,

\sh

[Fabio Marzocca (thesaltydog)]

Stephan,

php is version 4, but the bug is not related to php. As I reported, the code inside the program looks for the distro name into /etc/debian_version and that file contains "unstable/testing" instead of "05.10" or "Breezy".

[Andrew Mitchell (ajmitch)]

Which means that the more reliable way might be to use lsb_release

[Fabio Marzocca (thesaltydog)]

Yor're right, that program line should be changed

[Vassilis Pandis (pandisv)]

The program appears to have changed. Taking a look at distros.ini, it seems that /etc/lsb-release is used and the distro reported is "Ubunto".

[Vassilis Pandis (pandisv)]

I'm attaching a debdiff that PROBABLY fixes the issue. I am not sure it does, since I can't test it.

[Vassilis Pandis (pandisv)]

I tested it and it doesn't. Do NOT upload please.

[Vassilis Pandis (pandisv)]

Forwarded issue upstream http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1548506&group_id=15&atid=100015

[Vassilis Pandis (pandisv)]

There's a patch upstream. I haven't tested it.

[Vassilis Pandis (pandisv)]

Upstream have committed fix to CVS head. This has not been fixed in 2.5.2's release.
