Jira (FACT-797) Virtual fact on Linux does not work

[Robert Moucha (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Robert Moucha created an issue   Facter / FACT-797 Virtual fact on Linux does not work Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: FACT 2.3.0 Assignee: Eric Sorenson Components: Community Created: 2015/01/22 1:37 AM Environment: Scientific Linux 6.x, OpenStack (KVM) Priority: Major Reporter: Robert Moucha When running facter as unprivileged user, virtual fact is falsely set to physical, although correct value can be deduced from lspci system command. Unfortunately, regex matching of lspci output in lib/facter/virtual.rb is done on lowercase value: next "kvm" if lines.any? {|l| l =~ /virtio/ } Example of real lspci output on affected instance follows: $ lspci |grep -i virtio 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device 00:04.0 SCSI storage controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio block device 00:05.0 SCSI storage controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio block device 00:06.0 RAM memory: Red Hat, Inc Virtio memory balloon As a side effect, none of ec2_* facts are available, as they are evaluated only when vitual is xen or kvm. My guess is that easiest fix is to make aforementioned regex case-insensitive: next "kvm" if lines.any? {|l| l =~ /virtio/i } See linked FACT-711 with the same problem happening on Ubuntu Linux.
