Update RPi OS logic detection #152

martignoni · 2023-01-15T18:59:24Z

Fixes Recent RPi OS version aren't correctly detected #151.

- Fixes https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone/issues.

martignoni · 2023-01-15T19:01:45Z

Should work with Bookworm (and hopefully later Debian versions).

framps · 2023-01-16T12:34:32Z

rpi-clone

-if [ -f /etc/os-release ]
+rpios=0
+rpios_recent=0
+if [ -f /etc/os-release ] && [ -f /proc/device-tree/model ]


As far as I see this test should check whether it's a Raspberry HW. Are you sure /proc/device-tree/model is an unique idetifier for a Raspberry HW? /etc/rpi-issue exists on Raspberry OS Builds only.

I'm rather sure, but your proposition with /etc/rpi-issue is cleaner and easier to understand, I'll change.

rpi-clone

 	fi
-	if ((raspbian)) && [[ "$pretty" == *"buster"* ]]
+	if ((rpios)) && ((osversion >= 10))


I like this check for the osversion 👍

Thanks, normally, it should work with later versions of Debian.

hi @martignoni , I was looking to your changes , I've tried them manually and osversion in my case is empty.

those are the result from my raspberry

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /proc/device-tree/model

as you can see, the /etc/os-version misses the VERSION_ID field .

With the original code, at least the "raspbian" variable is set to 1.

martignoni · 2023-03-05T20:33:18Z

Hi @gpongelli,

You'll see that in your case the rpios variable (which replaces variable raspbian) is correctly set to 1.

What you describe is not a problem, since osversion is only used to detect recent versions of RPiOS.

In your case, you've an older release, there's no VERSION_ID in your /etc/os-release, so osversion is empty; the comparison on line 38 evaluates to false, so rpios_recent=0 and your older release is adequately detected.

Recent versions of RPiOS all have a VERSION_ID in their /etc/os-release, so in this case the comparison on line 38 evaluates correctly to true.

gpongelli · 2023-03-06T08:50:54Z

Hi @martignoni , I’ve no idea what’s “recent” for you but, as you can see I’m on bookworm, that’s the actual testing release.

I’ve tried today to upgrade (again) over testing and the os-release had not changed.

martignoni · 2023-03-06T12:36:02Z

There is a misunderstanding here: I'm speaking of recent releases of RPiOS images.

And my bad: I did not notice that your image was upgraded. For the record, upgrading an RPi image to a new OS version is not recommended and not supported. I assume rpi-clone too is not supported in these cases.

Side note: Debian testing versions never have a VERSION_ID defined.

Even if it’s not recommended, it can be done (and it worked, waiting for official bookworm), so why rpi-clone shouldn’t also be supported ?

martignoni · 2023-03-06T21:25:05Z

If you find a way to check for a version number in Debian testing release, I'd be glad to include it in this PR.

framps · 2023-03-06T23:12:59Z

Not sure what's the purpose of this check. Maybe it's worth to remove this check?

martignoni · 2023-03-07T10:47:26Z

This is needed because as of RPiOS Buster (and later), the boot partition size has changed. See

rpi-clone/rpi-clone

Lines 1348 to 1356 in 07f536e

    
           if ((raspbian_buster && p1_size_new == 0 && src_size_sectors[1] < 400000))

gpongelli · 2023-03-12T18:44:00Z

Hi @martignoni , I've just tested rpi-clone on my rpi and it worked correctly.

The only changes I did had been this one here:

	if ((raspbian)) && [[ "$pretty" == *"buster"* ]]
	then
		raspbian_buster=1
	fi
+	if ((raspbian)) && [[ "$pretty" == *"bookworm"* ]]
+	then
+		raspbian_buster=1
+	fi

this because there's no way to get version 11 with any of following methods:

lsb_release -a

martignoni · 2023-03-12T20:18:32Z

Your "fix" would not fix the bug: the problem will occur again when Debian reaches its next version after Bookworm.

framps · 2023-03-12T20:46:02Z

Agree. Then every new Debian version requires a change in rpi-clone. Wouldn't it make sense to test backwards and not forwards?

gpongelli · 2023-03-13T07:20:06Z

I know it is not future-proof, but it’s just to demonstrate that rpi-clone works also on upgraded rpi (even not so pure raspbian, because in the past I’ve mixed it with Debian due to more recent sw version needed).

agree with @framps about reversing the detection logic

edit:
To address future boot changes other than the one already in place (or any os changes that impacts rpi-clone), a more correct check could be done parsing history/release table in webpages like this one or this one through an external script.

framps · 2023-03-13T09:56:52Z

a more correct check could be done parsing history/release table in webpages

I agree. That's the more general approach. But this creates a dependency of rpi-clone on an existing network connection I don't like.

martignoni · 2023-03-13T11:58:00Z

Wouldn't it make sense to test backwards and not forwards?

Not sure I understand, can you elaborate?

framps · 2023-03-13T12:20:31Z

As @gpongelli wrote here he added a new if statement to set raspibian_buster. This will have to be done for every new release. Why don't we just negate the test and assume raspbian_buster is 1 and reset it to zero for older releases. They will not change any more 😉

martignoni · 2023-03-15T11:50:34Z

Here are the PRETTY_NAMEs for all Raspbian/RPiOS supported releases:

32bit

PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy)"
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)"
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)"
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"

64bit

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"

For (unsupported) testing/sid releases, the PRETTY_NAME does not have any number and no VERSION_ID, as already said before. A few examples (we cannot exclude that some adventurous rpi-clone user has updated their official RPiOS buster version to a testing bullseye one):

32bit

PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid"
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid"

64bit

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid"
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid"

We can conclude that for the test to work also for unsupported versions, we've to test whether the PRETTY_NAME contains either "wheezy", "jessie" or "stretch", and conclude that in this case this is not a recent version.

This (not as elegant as actual PR) bit of code would work. Any comment welcome: bash is not my first language 😊

rpios=0
rpios_recent=0
if [ -f /etc/os-release ]
then
  osversion=`cat /etc/os-release | grep PRETTY | cut -d'"' -f2`
  osversion=${osversion##* } # Remove everything before last space
  osversion=`echo ${osversion} | cut -d"(" -f2 | cut -d")" -f1` # Remove parens if needed
  osversion=${osversion%/*} # Remove everything after last slash
  if [[ -e /etc/rpi-issue ]]; then
    rpios=1
  fi
  if ((rpios)) && !([[ "${osversion}" = "wheezy" ]] || [[ "${osversion}" = "jessie" ]] || [[ "${osversion}" = "stretch" ]] ); then
    rpios_recent=1
  fi
fi

framps · 2023-03-15T12:34:40Z

I like regex 😄

rpios=0
rpios_recent=0

if [[ -f /etc/os-release ]]; then
   if [[ -f /etc/rpi-issue ]]; then
      rpios=1
   fi
   pretty="$(grep PRETTY /etc/os-release)"
   if ((rpios)) && [[ ! "$pretty" =~ wheezy|jessie|stretch ]]; then
      rpios_recent=1
   fi
fi
