this is a regression in the beta 20.10 gnome ubuntu desktop ID. It is not possible to know if they will correct this regression or not.
the value $GDMSESSION should be 'gnome' but is 'ubuntu', that is completely wrong, GDMSESSION is supposed to identify the gnome desktop, not the distro name. This is bug one in the beta. bug two is similar: $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP has likewise been corrupted, leading to a secondary detection failure: ubuntu:GNOME the ubuntu name string has no business being in there, but that one is easier to correct. The corruption in $GDMSESSION I suspectc is a straight beta bug, and should be reported to ubuntu since it's just wrong, ubuntu is NOT the gdmsession owner, GNOME is. This issue is invalid because it is relating to beta release ubuntu and we have no way of knowing if these two regressions are going to remain in the final release, or if they were just working ideas that will be removed, as they should be, since they break all existing detection methods, and serve no valid purpose. Note that I realized that it would be largely a waste of time trying to get actual debugging data from the issue poster, so I grabbed the beta iso and ran it in a vm, but I will NOT normally do this because it's a waste of my time, so in this case, it was which would waste less of my time. I do not normally track launchpad issues, nor should it be used for beta release issues since those are beta, not final, release, and thus by definition invalid until confirmed by ubuntu to be the final idea, which I hope it isn't since it just adds another pointless layer of complexity to desktop detection. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1899192 Title: inxi 3.1.07-1-1 does not report Desktop version To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inxi/+bug/1899192/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
