When I used the command lsb_release, System threw an error that "No lsb modules are available". So what are they and why to install them to get my system info(through command lsb_release)?

  • Use lsb_release -cdir. Plain lsb_release is not supposed to work on Ubuntu.

    Thanks @VeeJay. I got why it is showing the error. But I didn't get what are these modules!

After trying lsb_release -cdir and seeing that it worked, I just set it up as an alias with

alias lsb_release='lsb_release -cdir'

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04, so doing this made sense for me.
