[ubuntu-uk] Using lsb_release shows some strange things

2010-05-27 Thread John Matthews
I saw you suggesting to another person getting the release version by 
running lsb_release. I tried that and got nothing like what was posted 
on the OP's e-mail. Here is what i got.

LSB Version:
core-2.0-ia32:core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-ia32:core-3.0-noarch:core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:core-3.2-ia32:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-ia32:core-4.0-noarch

I remember a couple of weeks ago, posting about problems with the Grub, 
showing all those kernels. Would anybody know why I am getting this when 
using this command, and how I get around it.

John

It's just displaying some detail about lsb-* packages you have
installed. Explained a bit here:-
