Add the 'convertible' type to the set of allowed chassis. This applies to all devices that can be transformed by the user from laptop style to tablet style. This does not add any auto-detection, yet. It only makes 'set-chassis' accept 'convertible' as valid input.

<para>The <filename>/etc/machine-info</filename> file contains

machine metadata.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The basic file format of <filename>machine-info</filename>
|
|
is a newline-separated list of environment-like shell-compatible
|
|
variable assignments. It is possible to source the configuration
|
|
from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments no
|
|
shell features are supported, allowing applications to read the
|
|
file without implementing a shell compatible execution
|
|
engine.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>/etc/machine-info</filename> contains metadata
|
|
about the machine that is set by the user or administrator.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Depending on the operating system other configuration files
|
|
might be checked for machine information as well, however only as
|
|
fallback.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You may use
|

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>hostnamectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>

<listitem><para>A pretty human-readable UTF-8 machine

identifier string. This should contain a name like

<literal>Lennart's Laptop</literal> which is useful to present

to the user and does not suffer by the syntax limitations of
|
|
internet domain names. If possible, the internet hostname as
|
|
configured in <filename>/etc/hostname</filename> should be
|

kept similar to this one. Example: if this value is
|
|
<literal>Lennart's Computer</literal> an Internet hostname of
|
|
<literal>lennarts-computer</literal> might be a good choice.

If this parameter is not set, an application should fall back

virtualized systems that lack an immediate physical chassis.

Note that many systems allow detection of the chassis type

automatically (based on firmware information or suchlike).

This setting (if set) shall take precedence over automatically

detected information and is useful to override misdetected

automatic detection is not available.</para></listitem>
