Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2019-04-25 11:20:22 CEST 
tl-setup fails to identify which system it is on:

> 2019-04-25 13:11:27,214: *** tl-setup started ***
> 2019-04-25 13:11:27,214: Architecture: x86_64
> 2019-04-25 13:11:27,214: Distribution: None
> 2019-04-25 13:11:27,214: Distribution version: None
> 2019-04-25 13:11:27,214: Distribution family: None

This breaks some functionality, like the package installer.
Comment 1 Pierre Ossman cendio 2019-04-25 11:24:59 CEST 
Seems like there is a new standard for identifying the distribution that SUSE is following:

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html
Comment 4 Pierre Ossman cendio 2019-06-26 08:56:43 CEST 
All done and works well.

Parsing os-release is now the preferred method, so tester should check that the popular distributions are still identified correctly. Remember to check derived systems, such as CentOS or Xubuntu.
Comment 5 Samuel Mannehed cendio 2019-07-02 15:51:59 CEST 
Looks good.

Verified that I could reproduce the problem on SLES 15 with 4.10.0 and that it is fixed now in build 6172.

I also verified that CentOS 7 and Xubuntu 18.04 were identified correctly:

Xubuntu:

2019-07-02 15:26:54,219: Architecture: x86_64
2019-07-02 15:26:54,219: Distribution: Ubuntu
2019-07-02 15:26:54,219: Distribution version: 18.04
2019-07-02 15:26:54,220: Distribution family: Ubuntu

CentOS:

2019-07-02 14:54:22,231: Architecture: x86_64
2019-07-02 14:54:22,231: Distribution: None
2019-07-02 14:54:22,231: Distribution version: None
2019-07-02 14:54:22,232: Distribution family: RHEL

SLES:

2019-07-02 14:44:02,336: Architecture: x86_64
2019-07-02 14:44:02,336: Distribution: SLES
2019-07-02 14:44:02,336: Distribution version: 15
2019-07-02 14:44:02,338: Distribution family: SLE
