Elementary Os: Distribution not recognized

[ghost]

knife solo prepare returns - Distribution not recognized on Elementary OS.

I try to change `/etc/issue', but that not helped me.

Interesting. Since it appears to be a linux it will look at more than just /etc/issue - the resolution file list is at

knife-solo/lib/knife-solo/bootstraps/linux.rb

Line 5 in 2823a70

'lsb_release -d -s',

If you run again with -VV it should say Distro detection yielded: ... which is what will need to be added to knife solo to provide support.

Also, if you can install chef yourself, knife solo cook will should work even if prepare doesn't know how to install chef on your distro.
