$ lsb_release -c

DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04 LTS"
Output's of the above commands shows only the partial code name (ie, trusty
). How do I get the full codename (trusty tahr) of my installed Ubuntu system?
Using no external tools:
You can just source (the source command is a dot .
) the /etc/os-release
and you'll have access to all the variables defined there:
$ . /etc/os-release
$ echo "$VERSION"
14.04, Trusty Tahr
Edit. If you want to remove the 14.04,
part (as asked by terdon), you could:
$ . /etc/os-release
$ read _ UBUNTU_VERSION_NAME <<< "$VERSION"
$ echo "$UBUNTU_VERSION_NAME"
Trusty Tahr
Note that this is a bit clunky, since on other distributions, the VERSION
field can have different format. E.g., on my debian,
$ . /etc/os-release
$ read _ UBUNTU_VERSION_NAME <<< "$VERSION"
$ echo "$UBUNTU_VERSION_NAME"
(wheezy)
Then, you could imagine something like this (in a script):
#!/bin/bash
if [[ -r /etc/os-release ]]; then
. /etc/os-release
if [[ $ID = ubuntu ]]; then
read _ UBUNTU_VERSION_NAME <<< "$VERSION"
echo "Running Ubuntu $UBUNTU_VERSION_NAME"
else
echo "Not running an Ubuntu distribution. ID=$ID, VERSION=$VERSION"
fi
else
echo "Not running a distribution with /etc/os-release available"
fi
