Unable to determine Linux distribution
#1
Hi,
this isn't any major issue. However my xbmc.log get alot of these entries:

WARNING: Unable to determine Linux distribution

Is there anyway i can fix this, perhaps set some parameter or path?

Thanks.

It means you need to install Linux Standard Base. if you have debian based distro "aptitude install lsb".

I had to uninstall it because i have more errors and xbmc lags if i have it installed.

Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lsb_release", line 317, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/lsb_release", line 281, in main
    distinfo = get_distro_information()
  File "/usr/bin/lsb_release", line 244, in get_distro_information
    distinfo = guess_debian_release()
  File "/usr/bin/lsb_release", line 203, in guess_debian_release
    rinfo = guess_release_from_apt()
  File "/usr/bin/lsb_release", line 148, in guess_release_from_apt
    releases = parse_apt_policy()
  File "/usr/bin/lsb_release", line 132, in parse_apt_policy
    policy = commands.getoutput('apt-cache policy 2>/dev/null')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/commands.py", line 44, in getoutput
    return getstatusoutput(cmd)[1]
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/commands.py", line 55, in getstatusoutput
    sts = pipe.close()
IOError: [Errno 10] No child processes

Anyone knows what this is about?

I'm running debian lenny and xbmc r24107.
