FFS 10.24 not working on Arch: VERSION_ID missing

Posts: 2 · TB0815 17 May 2020, 14:01

Hello,

I installed the latest version of FreeFileSync. This version should work with the /etc/os-release file, which is available on ArchLinux. Arch is an rolling release distribution and does not have a version in this file!

NAME="Arch Linux"

PRETTY_NAME="Arch Linux"

ID=arch

BUILD_ID=rolling

ANSI_COLOR="38;2;23;147;209"

HOME_URL="https://www.archlinux.org/"

DOCUMENTATION_URL="https://wiki.archlinux.org/"

SUPPORT_URL="https://bbs.archlinux.org/"

BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.archlinux.org/"

LOGO=archlinux

So, I got an error if I try to start the new release: VERSION_ID missing. [/etc/os-release]

How can I fix this? Thanks.

Fixed! I've just updated the FFS 10.24 Linux release accordingly.

Would you please check the status of taskbar.cpp from the most recent source update, Zenju?

Thanks, Zenju! I had failed to do a basic file lookup in the repository to see that it was in a different location.
