Description Timo Gurr 2013-03-11 15:01:36 UTC 
Since upgrading from 196 to 198 the journal-gateway webinterface reports "running on bare metal" instead of the previous correct "running on virtualization vmware" when detecting a virtualized "hardware" environment.

systemd 196 journal reports:
MESSAGE	DMI: VMware, Inc. VMware Virtual Platform/440BX Desktop Reference Platform, BIOS 6.00 07/09/2012
MESSAGE	systemd 196 running in system mode. (+PAM -LIBWRAP -AUDIT -SELINUX -IMA -SYSVINIT -LIBCRYPTSETUP -GCRYPT +ACL +XZ; other)
MESSAGE	Detected virtualization 'vmware'.
systemd 196 journal-gateway webinterface reports:
Running on virtualization vmware.

systemd 198 journal reports:
ESSAGE	DMI: VMware, Inc. VMware Virtual Platform/440BX Desktop Reference Platform, BIOS 6.00 07/09/2012
MESSAGE	systemd 198 running in system mode. (+PAM -LIBWRAP -AUDIT -SELINUX -IMA -SYSVINIT -LIBCRYPTSETUP -GCRYPT +ACL +XZ)
MESSAGE	Detected virtualization 'vmware'.
systemd 198 journal-gateway webinterface reports:
Running on bare metal.
Comment 1 Kay Sievers 2013-03-12 20:17:27 UTC 
This is likely caused by running as non-root now.

The gateway needs to ask systemd now for the data, and not try to detect
it on its own.

Fixed in git.
