How to install lsb-core

[Pace]

Hi everyone, ok dumb question here I know.

I'm using conky on my Debian 10 buster with KDE plasma.
Im getting an error that says no lsb sensor found.
When i run lsb_release I get

Code: Select all

@debian:~$ lsb_release
No LSB modules are available.

So I figured i need to install lsb-core, but when I try apt-get install lsb-core

Code: Select all

@debian:~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lsb-core
Hit:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates InRelease
Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster InRelease                   
Hit:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates InRelease           
Hit:4 https://repo.skype.com/deb stable InRelease                     
Reading package lists... Done                   
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package lsb-core is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

So any ideas how I install this?

lsb-core is obsolete since Jessie. I'm also running Debian 10 Buster with KDE and Conky and have not this problem.
I'd say it's an X-Y problem. Forget about installing lsb-core because that's not going to happen. Work out why Conky is giving you that message. Copy/paste the exact error message here and your ~/.conkyrc file.

So the error is generated from the line:-

Code: Select all

#${color2}Distro:${color}${alignr}$sysname $kernel ${alignr}${execi 6000 lsb_release -a | grep 'Release'|awk {'print $2""$3""$4""$5'}}

As when i comment this out i dont get the error.

If I run lsb_release -a from Konsole I get:-

Code: Select all

blupace@debian:~/scripts$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.

What information do you want in your conky? the command you have used returns 10 on my system but has the usual "No LSB modules are available." first, it would be easier to specify which information you actually want from lsb_release in the command instead of trying to get it all and then grep/awk it to fit (IMO) the man page offers the various parameters to get specific information which will return without the "No LSB modules are available." line. ie-

Code: Select all

dai@home:~$ lsb_release -a | grep 'Release'|awk {'print $2""$3""$4""$5'}
No LSB modules are available.
10

dai@home:~$ lsb_release -d
Description:	Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)

dai@home:~$ lsb_release -c
Codename:	buster

dai@home:~$ lsb_release -cs
buster

[sunrat]

What output are you expecting? Try:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/issue |awk '//{print $1, $2, $3; }'

Hi
Installing the now obsolete lsb-core package from stretch in Buster is not the way to go but it could be downloaded directly from debian.org/distrib/packages and then installed when all dependences are satisfied, provided lsb-security from oldoldstable were also installed previously. This would answer the question how to install lsb-core but I wouldn't recommend it, especially for conky which, I understand, works fine without it.

[Pace]

I guess if Conky is working then I should just leave well alone..

Thanks for your input everyone...
