tl;dr The hypervisor detection code has been updated and we need testers to confirm that the new code still finds the right hypervisor. Instructions on how to test are to be found below.

Hi,
we always felt that the hypervisor detection in fireinfo was not very reliable and sometimes detected the wrong hypervisor. So I rewrote the detection code in order to get better results. If you just look at the data, I don't really believe that more people are running IPFire inside VirtualBox than in Microsoft's Hyper-V.

Before we release the code, I need you people to check if this code is now actually better and correctly identifies all known hypervisors.
Please help me with that and download the attached tarball and extract it on your IPFire x86 system:
tar xvfz fireinfo-2.1.7-testing-for-ipfire.tar.gz -C /
Then run sendprofile --dump and search for the hypervisor, that has been detected:
... "hypervisor": { "vendor": "KVM" }, ...
Please install this on your testing machines in a virtualized environment and get back to me if your hypervisor could be correctly identified or not.
Best, -Michael
