info-overview: Don't show "Firmware Version" row in virtual machines (!1514) · Merge requests · GNOME / Settings

Felipe Borges requested to merge about-dont-show-firmware-for-vms into main Nov 28, 2022

This value comes from systemd-hostnamed, which harvests it from /sys/class/dmi/id/bios_version, which happens to be empty/invalid in virtual machines (at least KVM powered virtualization).

For this reason, we are better off hiding the "Firmware Version" row when gnome-control-center is running in a VM.

Fixes #2181 (closed)
