Darktable build from master not showing version

Software darktable
1

I installed Ubuntu 24.04 to my old desktop computer and when I build darktable from master branch, it is not showing any version on upper left corner. All I can see is some commit version. My old laptop with same Ubuntu version shows it correctly as 4.9.0~…

I must have missed something when getting that desktop computer in use. Maybe some git configuration? Tried to google and search from here and github issues but my search terms didn’t return anything useful. Could some point me to right direction?

Possibly
sudo git config --global --add safe.directory /path/to/darktable-clone/ ?

Thanks!

Didn’t run earlier

sudo git config --list

on old laptop and missed that. Unfortunately this didn’t work for this desktop computer. Laptop is old 32bit computer and desktop little bit newer 64bit. This seems to be only difference between these. Well, Ubuntu on laptop has been upgraded many times for new version and desktop is fresh install.

I need to look this again later. Now I’m too tired to look more carefully if there are still some other differences.
