[Cas Donoghue (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Cas Donoghue commented on BOLT-518   Re: Facter task does not correctly detect Ubuntu OS family When facter not available, a bash script (bolt/modules/facts/tasks/bash.sh) is used to try to detect family, name and release. Stripped down Ubuntu does not have /usr/bin/lsb_release. If lsb_release is available then bash script can pick it up with: cas@cas-ThinkPad-T460p:~/working_dir/bolt$ /usr/bin/lsb_release -i | sed -re 's/^.*:[ \t]*//' Ubuntu For stripped down Ubuntu such as the rastasheep docker image we could use /etc/os-release instead. cas@cas-ThinkPad-T460p:~/working_dir/bolt$ cat /etc/os-release NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="16.04.4 LTS (Xenial Xerus) ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS" VERSION_ID="16.04" HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/" SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/" BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/" VERSION_CODENAME=xenial UBUNTU_CODENAME=xenial cas@cas-ThinkPad-T460p:~/working_dir/bolt$ bundle exec bolt command run "awk -F FS:"=" '/^NAME/{print $nf}' /etc/os-release" -n spec Started on 0.0.0.0...
