Public bug reported:
I'm trying to disable FIPS from an Ubuntu Pro FIPS 18.04 image in AWS. I
updated to the latest ua client in the daily PPA. I have a prompt to
disable it but it fails:
ubuntu@ip-172-31-60-238:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-server
/ua-client-daily
ubuntu@ip-172-31-60-238:~$ sudo apt install ubuntu-advantage-pro ubuntu-
advantage-tools
ubuntu@ip-172-31-60-238:~$ ua version
27.0-945~gedf4a7e~ubuntu18.04.1
ubuntu@ip-172-31-60-238:~$ ua status
SERVICE ENTITLED STATUS DESCRIPTION
cis-audit no — Center for Internet Security Audit Tools
esm-infra yes enabled UA Infra: Extended Security Maintenance
fips yes enabled NIST-certified FIPS modules
fips-updates no — Uncertified security updates to FIPS modules
livepatch yes n/a Canonical Livepatch service
[...]
ubuntu@ip-172-31-60-238:~$ sudo ua disable fips
This will disable access to certified FIPS packages.
Are you sure? (y/N) y
Could not enable FIPS.

I tried rebooting after but I'm still running the fips kernel and fips
is enabled:
