[opensuse-factory] /etc/lsb-release and Steam
Steam does not detect openSUSE Tumbleweed, at least not my installation. The distribution detection code (installed during first run of /usr/bin/steam from steam-1.0.0.54-5.1.x86_64 from TW) can be found here: /home/myusername/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: function detect_distro() { if [ -f /etc/lsb-release ]; then (. /etc/lsb-release; echo $DISTRIB_ID | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]') elif [ -f /etc/os-release ]; then (. /etc/os-release; echo $ID | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]') elif [ -f /etc/debian_version ]; then echo "debian" else # Generic fallback uname -s fi } But /etc/lsb-release contains only LSB_VERSION="core-2.0-noarch:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-noarch:core-2.0-x86_64:core-3.2-x86_64:core-4.0-x86_64" $DISTRIB_ID is undefined. My questions: 1. Why /etc/lsb-release does not contain the usual information (like DISTRIB_ID, DISTRIB_RELEASE, DISTRIB_CODENAME, DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION)? 2. Which script should update /etc/lsb-release? 3. Does Steam work on TW (more or less)?

Steam does not detect openSUSE Tumbleweed, at least not my installation. The distribution detection code (installed during first run of /usr/bin/steam from steam-1.0.0.54-5.1.x86_64 from TW) can be found here:
/home/myusername/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh:
function detect_distro() { if [ -f /etc/lsb-release ]; then (. /etc/lsb-release; echo $DISTRIB_ID | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]') elif [ -f /etc/os-release ]; then (. /etc/os-release; echo $ID | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]') elif [ -f /etc/debian_version ]; then echo "debian" else # Generic fallback uname -s fi }
But /etc/lsb-release contains only LSB_VERSION="core-2.0-noarch:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-noarch:core-2.0-x86_64:core-3.2-x86_64:core-4.0-x86_64"
$DISTRIB_ID is undefined.
My questions:
1. Why /etc/lsb-release does not contain the usual information (like DISTRIB_ID, DISTRIB_RELEASE, DISTRIB_CODENAME, DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION)? 2. Which script should update /etc/lsb-release? 3. Does Steam work on TW (more or less)?
To begin with, that file isn't supposed to exist. Moreover, there is no specification for how that file is supposed to look. I'm surprised SUSE's lsb package even includes that file, as Red Hat/Fedora's does not. Steam works on Tumbleweed just fine if you reorder it to check for os-release first. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

But Steam now stops with libGL errors. I use the Nvidia driver package from nvidia-tumbleweed package. Usually GL setup works fine. $ steam Running Steam on opensuse 20180114 64-bit STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0) libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

No script should read or update /etc/lsb-release and steam is not allowed to parse that file at their own. The Steam developer should read and understand the LSB specification if they want to use LSB for their project.

Hi, I don't have this issue on my Tumbleweed PC. Output of 'lsb_release -a': LSB Version: n/a Distributor ID: openSUSE Description: openSUSE Tumbleweed Release: 20180114 Codename: n/a And as far as I know, Steam doesn't modify lsb-release files.

Did you try launching Steam in terminal? It could give you some details on what's going on. And be sure that 'steamtricks' is installed (should be, it's required). -- ___ Alex aka DarthWound Global Steam Moderator Le jeudi 18 janvier 2018 à 13:20 +0100, Bjoern Voigt a écrit :

Yes, Steam does not modify /etc/lsb-release, but it reads /etc/lsb- release.
I have nearly the same output:

I updated steam.sh like Neal suggested:
function detect_distro() { if [ -f /etc/os-release ]; then (. /etc/os-release; echo $ID | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]') elif [ -f /etc/lsb-release ]; then (. /etc/lsb-release; echo $DISTRIB_ID | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]') elif [ -f /etc/debian_version ]; then echo "debian" else # Generic fallback uname -s fi }
function detect_release() { if [ -f /etc/os-release ]; then (. /etc/os-release; echo $VERSION_ID) elif [ -f /etc/lsb-release ]; then (. /etc/lsb-release; echo $DISTRIB_RELEASE) elif [ -f /etc/debian_version ]; then cat /etc/debian_version else # Generic fallback uname -r fi }
Anyway, Steam does not work. I also tried to delete ~/.local/share/Steam, so that /usr/bin/steam downloads Steam again.

No, I knew that it's part of the lsb package, but it shouldn't exist. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Sorry, but this is not correct. The LSB does not define how something should be implemented, this is free to the distributor. The LSB only defines the interface for consumers. And the file is even part of the reference implementation. So the file exist, it is correct that it is exist (we need a place to store this informations), but you are not allowed to use it, you have to use the lsb-release command for this.
