On Manjaro minimal Xfce. Using this conky line: Distro: ${alignr}${distribution}
That yields Arch Linux. What line would I use to yield Manjaro instead? Thanks, in advance, for your reply.
From an ancient backup (old root partition mounted to /media)
awk -F= '/TION/ {print $2}' /media/etc/lsb-release |sed 's/"//g'
Manjaro Linux
awk -F= '/EASE=/ {printf $2" "} /NAME/ {print $2}' /media/etc/lsb-release
20.0.3 Lysia
Remove /media
in the above commands.
awk
ward and unnecessary.
How about:
${exec lsb_release -ds}

merlock: The following yields Distro: Manjaro Linux 21.2.3 Quonos:
Distro: ${alignr}${exec awk -F= ‘/TION/ {print $2}’ /etc/lsb-release |sed ‘s/"//g’} ${exec awk -F= ‘/EASE=/ {printf $2" "} /NAME/ {print $2}’ /etc/lsb-release}
Yochanan: The following yields Distro: "Manjaro Linux"
Distro: ${alignr}${exec lsb_release -ds}
The link was also helpful.
LOL. More than one way to skin a cat.
FYI, since it’s just executing lsb_release
, you can use any command option you want in place of -ds
.
Example with codename:
❯ lsb_release -dsc
"Manjaro Linux" Qonos
If you want to remove the quotation marks, you can use:
❯ lsb_release -dsc | sed 's/\"//g'
Manjaro Linux Qonos
See:
lsb_release --help
or
man lsb_release
