From b4cdd158437f76742a4b039f90047c763633dec4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dag Wieers Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2013 12:42:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Fix for commented dmidecode output This patch fixes the problem that on some system dmidecode prints out warning information as commented text. For example: [user@system ~]# dmidecode -s system-manufacturer # SMBIOS implementations newer than version 2.6 are not # fully supported by this version of dmidecode. HP So we remove all commented lines from the output. --- system/setup | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/system/setup b/system/setup index 5a9d5310327..e6669e6d131 100755 --- a/system/setup +++ b/system/setup @@ -629,7 +629,8 @@ class LinuxHardware(Hardware): if dmi_bin is not None: (rc, out, err) = module.run_command('%s -s %s' % (dmi_bin, v)) if rc == 0: - self.facts[k] = out.rstrip() + # Strip out commented lines (specific dmidecode output) + self.facts[k] = ''.join([ line for line in out.split('\n') if not line.startswith('#') ]) else: self.facts[k] = 'NA' else:
