Now that we have reached the LTS, a simple javascript can be made to capture the User agent [1] from a browser, for example considering new users use firefox as their browser, this is the packet of information is send out (this one is my details) :
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091109 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.5 And the last part of this string tells us what release it is. I can make a script that captures this information and only returns the release karmic, then you guys can decide on how to use this on help.ubuntu.com. I propose something like this as one of the first lines: You are using Ubuntu 9.10- the Karmic Koala [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agent ** Changed in: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Vikram (dhillon-v10) ** Changed in: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- help.ubuntu.com does not tell you how to determine which version you have https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381650 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
