Ok - a little bit of exploration - and its clear that both myself and john-bell (from his screenshot) are using gnome-shell, instead of unity
When I manually launch (unity-control-center) - the details tab declares that I am on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS When I launch gnome-control-center - which is what Gnome launches when I run through the gnome menus, the 'details' tab there declares that I am on 13.10. So perhaps this bug's package should be changed to 'gnome-control- center' Certainly explains the irregularity - and perhaps makes me feel at ease that the installation was not as borked as I thought it might have been -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1312011 Title: lsb_release -a reports a different version than that listed on the details window To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-control-center/+bug/1312011/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
