Opsi 4.0.5 Experimental - Computer Model Names

Beitrag von bbain »

Hello:

I was testing the new Opsi 4.0.5 Experimental code to see how the upgrade process was going to be. It looks like the Hardware Inventory information has changed slightly. On my test client machine (the same one I use to test most of my opsi changes with), it used to return:
Vendor: Dell Inc.
Model: Latitude E6530

It is now returning...
Vendor: Dell Inc.
Model: Latitude E6530 (Latitude E6530)

Deploying Windows 7, it no longer picks up the drivers as the Model is different.

Am I missing a setting or configuration change somewhere?
Thanks,
Brent Bain

The bootimage opsi-linux-bootimage (20140919-1) has an updated version of lshw.
This may result in the observerd difference

I made a linked folder to the already existing one and it worked just fine. I'll try it out on a couple other systems today.
I was more curious if I had missed a step in the upgrade that was causing this as an issue.

Thanks!

Hello Brent,

you did not miss anything. Sadly we didn't stumple upon this with our tests.
I added information about this to the release notes to give upgraders information about this.

Thanks for posting here!


With kind regards

Niko

Hi,

Thank you also from me.
The reason is that the behavior of the command lshw changed in the last ubuntu versions and was partly havy buggy and as you deteted is still not completly compatible to older versions.

sorry about this - we looking for a better version of lshw.

regards

d.oertel

Hello!

Glad to help...
I have done some more testing -- so far, all on Dell machines. The Latitude 6400 returns everything the same way it used to. The Vostro 3550 returns: Vostro 3550 (To be filled by O.E.M.)

As long as I didn't break something, I'm fine with working around the issue by creating linked directories.

Thanks for a great update -- the new configed is much faster and hasn't crashed on me yet!
