I tested Eric's fix on a Digital Ocean droplet with 2 GB Memory and 40 GB Disk with Ubuntu 17.10 upgraded to Bionic with do-release-upgrade -d (because Bionic images are not available)

Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (development branch) Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic Computer information in Landscape: -Distribution: Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (development branch) (bionic) -VM Type: kvm -Product identifier: Droplet -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of STS Sponsors, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1743232 Title: set vm_info to kvm for digitalocean instances Status in Landscape Client: New Status in landscape-client package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in landscape-client source package in Trusty: Confirmed Status in landscape-client source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in landscape-client source package in Zesty: Confirmed Status in landscape-client source package in Artful: Confirmed Status in landscape-client source package in Bionic: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] digitalocean instance type is not a recognised VM type in Landscape and thus won't allow use of a Virtual Guest asset to register with. The digitalocean type uses a KVM-family hypervisor (displaying "digitalocean" in sys_vendor which landscape-client doesn't recognise, thus cannot associate/map to kvm) [Test Case] * Deploy a digitalocean instance * Look sys_vendor $ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor digitalocean * Install landscape-client * Register the client to the desired landscape-server * Verify "VM Type" to be "kvm" under the computer info (in landscape-server) [Regression Potential] * No regression anticipated, the fix is only adding a new entry mapping to recognize digitalocean instances.
