linux: Detect unofficial Flatpaks

[mihawk90]

Description

This is a quick and dirty detection that assumes that if a distribution were to package their own Flatpak, they would also use their own custom built runtime (we already have one such example).

A "proper" detection would involve changing how and what OBS logs about the Flatpak environment and use that instead. Since that requires some additional considerations, that is out of scope for now. See obsproject/obs-studio#11788 for work towards that.

As discussed with tytan in #documentation on Discord, we're going with this quick detection until such time that this "proper" detection is ready.

• Depends on linux: Unified system info summary #177. If and when that is merged I will rebase this PR to remove the duplicate commit.
• The help text was adapted from core: Add Detection of unofficial Snap Package #137.

Motivation and Context

We recently had a user in #linux-support having issues with both their BlackMagic capture card as well as their Nvidia GPU being detected. Upon inspection of the log, tytan noticed this was not our official Flatpak, and it unfortunately also happens to be broken in other ways.

How Has This Been Tested?

#!/bin/bash

echo "===== Unofficial Flatpak ====="
./loganalyzer.py --url "https://obsproject.com/logs/5PhBee18cV5S6MBe"

The second string was tested with the same log, replacing the runtime identifier.

Types of changes

• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

Checklist:

• My code has been run through clang-format.
• I have read the contributing document.
• My code is not on the master branch.
• The code has been tested.
• All commit messages are properly formatted and commits squashed where appropriate.
• I have included updates to all appropriate documentation.

Since obsproject/obs-studio#11788 landed we might rethink how this could be done the "proper" way.

We can already grab "valid" commit hashes fairly easily:

# same for `flathub-beta` of course

Obviously it doesn't really make sense to grab this on every log, but we could write this to a file that is updated either manually or through some CI, that is then read for Flatpak logs.
So the question would be how to do this most efficiently.

#177 was merged, so this can be rebased and undrafted. Though, #177 is triggering with Windows logs, so it may need a follow-up.

[mihawk90]

If we still want the "simple" check I can do that, just wanted to make sure we didn't wanna do the "proper" check instead right away.

This check is isolated to isFlatpak(), so the fix for #177 (i.e. either #193 or #194) shouldn't make a difference.

Noticed a small issue with a log that was just posted in linux-support:

❯ ./loganalyzer.py --url 'https://obsproject.com/logs/Aq3q70d9H2orswmp'
Critical: 
Warning:  
Info:     No Output Session, Virtual Camera not available, Flatpak | Wayland | DE: COSMIC (COSMIC)

Was still showing Flatpak even though it was supposed to say Unofficial Flatpak.

Fixed that up and because the Log-Level needed to be dynamic for this anyway, I also made it dynamic based on the results of the individual system info checks:

1. Defaults to LOG_INFO
2. Promoted to LOG_WARNING if any of the following are true:
   • is an unofficial Flatpak
   • no Distro detected (missing /etc/os-release)
   • no Display Server detected
   • no Desktop Environment detected

Also cleaned up some inconsistencies with inserted <br>s in the help texts.
