Verifying OS Name
I've just installed ROS Indigo on a new Raspberry Pi model 2. According to the ROS Indigo installation instructions, you must do lsb_release -a
and ensure that it matches the following:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04"
I've installed the Ubuntu 14.04 ARM release, following the instructions linked from the ROS Indigo installation tutorial.
However, the distro identity contained in /etc/lsb-release
on my Pi 2 does not match the one in the tutorial precisely. Instead, mine says:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty
As you can see, there are some minor differences. Will this matter? Should I edit /etc/lsb-release
so that the file matches the identity text in the Indigo installation tutorial exactly? I was hesitant to do this without being certain, in case changes to the file might interfere with some other part of the OS. Thanks.
