Help->About shows some useful data from LOOLWSD which is injected into the main page template: online/loleaflet/html/loleaflet.html.m4 - which is built by 'config.status'. Anyhow - we should include another variable into this, which we can fill in in online/wsd/FileServer.cxx with another Poco::replaceInPlace - with the contents of /etc/os-release's PRETTY_NAME - so we can help diagnose platform-specific issues more easily. For bonus points we should also remove the 'Poco' bits, and parse the string into a stringstream - and lookup each variable as/when we find it - rather than re-searching through the whole message endlessly for various different variables to substitute: faster, more efficient, and de-poco-ized. Thanks !
Hello, could you give more information to me get this problem? Let me know if I understood good. Is that a request to replace some words with better names? Thanks
Hello Hugo, NEEDINFO is used when information from the reported is needed in order to triage a bug, not for support on easyHacks. Please, do not change it.
Hugo - please work harder at your research; go around the hermenutical spiral five times =) read the code I pointed at, cat /etc/os-release, get a build & see what it does currently - and you'll be able to answer your own question. Thanks! =)
May i assign this subject to myself? I started to work on this.
(In reply to Gökay ŞATIR from comment #4) > May i assign this subject to myself? I started to work on this. That depends on if Hugo is still working on this.
Ok. I'm working on this.

I hope everything is going good. So, I thought something like this to this error: awk -F= '$1=="ID" { print $2 ;}' /etc/os-release This simple line can return just the name of OS. What do you think? I'm going to the right way?
Hugo - we already have a patch here so I'd suggest looking at another bug. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/online/+/91345 Using another shell, and spawning an AWK process seems really sub-optimal to me when that can be parsed in native code trivially. We want to depend on as few details of the system, and other tools as possible really. Thanks.
