[Bug 1804584] Re: LG screen reported as being a Goldstar one

[Sebastien Bacher]

Note that the issue was initially mentioned on bug #1755490. We would
like to see the fix backported to bionic (and probably to cosmic then by
SRU team requirement).

Title:
  LG screen reported as being a Goldstar one

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  * Impact
  The GNOME configuration interface labels LG screens as being from Goldstar, that's because the hwdb has an outdate record for the brand and still its old name, that has been fixed upstream now with
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/c6d7a5e9

  * Test case
  - connect to a LG screen
  - log into an Ubuntu/GNOME session
  - open gnome-control-center display section

  -> the screen should be described as from LG and not from Goldstar

  * Regression potential
  It's just a name change in the hwdb data
