Package: os-prober
Version: 1.65
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
os-prober correctly detects Fedora 22, however it doesn't detect Void Linux or
NixOS (they are reported as unknown Linux distribution).
Actual os-prober 1.65 output:
/dev/mapper/os-fedora_root:Fedora release 22 (Twenty Two):Fedora:linux
/dev/mapper/os-void_root:unknown Linux distribution:Linux:linux
Expected output:
/dev/mapper/os-fedora_root:Fedora release 22 (Twenty Two):Fedora:linux
/dev/mapper/os-nixos_root:NixOS 14.12.801.221101a (Caterpillar):NixOS:linux
/dev/mapper/os-void_root:Void Linux:Void:linux
Both of these have an /etc/os-release file, and using the patch below allows
update-grub2 to generate the expected names.
