More info: $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: gNewSense Description: gNewSense GNU/Linux 3.0 (metad) Release: 3.0 Codename: metad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lsb/+bug/66914/+activity This behaviour seems correct to me. http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/lsbrelease.html says "If no options are given, the -v option is assumed." -v requires the display of LSB modules, which in Debian/Ubuntu are implemented by the lsb-* metapackages. If you have none of those installed, then you'll get the output you quote. However, if you simply say 'lsb_release -a', you'll get the information you asked for. This is in accordance with the specification for lsb_release. Incidentally, I believe that you are mistaken about the behaviour in dapper: (dapper)cjwat...@ronne:~$ lsb_release No LSB modules are available. (dapper)cjwat...@ronne:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS Release: 6.06 Codename: dapper -- Saludos/Greetings Quiliro Ordóñez 593(02)340 1517 / 593(09)821 8696 http://quiliro.wordpress.com "¿Sólo cuando el último árbol esté muerto, el último río envenenado y el último pez atrapado nos daremos cuenta que no se puede comer dinero?"
