This is because of a very buggy GNU coreutils patch that Ubuntu has used for decades. I wish it were removed, but my bug report seems to be redirected to /dev/null:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/2150305 Note that 'uname -a' also gives sloppy output on Ubuntu: $ podman run --rm ubuntu:24.04 uname -a Linux 98e5eeb72a38 7.1.13-200.fc44.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Sep 2 13:58:38 UTC 2026 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux This is because 'uname -a' lists information for -m, -i, and -p. This is incorrect. I don't need to know I am using x86_64 with 2 reminders along with it. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2166793 Title: [SRU] uname -p fails to report architecture To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rust-coreutils/+bug/2166793/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
