Hello all!
I've been running Lithium RC3 on my minipc for awhile now. Love it.
I am lending a laptop to a friend, so I spent last night shifting drives among my active laptops and installing Windows (bleh) on the loaner. This left me with one Dell Latitude laptop with no OS on it and I decided to install a fresh download of Lithium.
Everything is running fine so far EXCEPT one weird issue - I noticed on first boot the 'bl-welcome' script did not run. When I type 'bl-welcome' in the terminal I get this error:
Error: This script should be run only on Debian Buster.
`uname -a` returns among other things ... Debian 4.19.132-1 (2020-07-24) ...
'lsb_release -cs' returns 'lithium'
I was able to run 'bunsen-meta-bluetooth' as well as 'bunsen-meta-printer-support' to get bluetooth audio and wifi printing working, but the bl-welcome script won't run. Any idea what would prevent? I am open to re-installs with different methods as I only set the laptop up yesterday.
Some troubleshooting I did - my desktop PC runs Ubuntu 20.04, I used this system to create the Lithium Live USB. The first time, I used the ubuntu 'startup disk creator' app. Thinking this may have been the issue, I remade the startup disk with dd and reinstalled - still getting the same error.
Thanks!

I now see the same thing - I bet this is a regression after the recent bugfix for bunsen-os-release.
We will have to wait until @twoion sees this...

Run bl-welcome on two productive machines. Got error:
This script is not meant to be run in a live session.
It is not a live session, but live tools is installed...
Loged in to the file server. Ok tu run bl-welcome. For some reason bunsen-os-release, was not installed...
Started a vm. bunsen-os-release old version. Run Bl-welcome and after that, with new bunsen-os-release, got the error message:
Error: This script should be run only on Debian Buster.
So, yes it is confirmed.

Any help or comments on either issue will be most welcome.

The problem of the change I introduced was that lsb_release -sc started correctly outputting "lithium" after I added the VERSION_CODENAME key to the os-release file from which lsb_release now derives its information. This breaks our checks in bl-welcome and possibly things in other places. I've reverted that change and pushed an update removing the key again so that'll be fixed. The fix for bl-welcome regarding the live session detection is still open and separate from this.
Per aspera ad astra.
