Public bug reported: v 1:20.10.16
DistUpgradeQuirks.py, in _test_and_fail_on_apple fails if _readDMIVendor() returns null i.e. if /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor is unknown. However, this is a very common case - it means almost all non-x86 hardware and many VMs (including my test case, WSL2 20.10 -> 21.04) cannot at the time of writing currently upgrade to 21.04. This was noted in "Where problems could occur" on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release- upgrader/+bug/1929449 where the root cause of this bug was introduced, but seems to have been an intentional emergency 'safe' choice while the shim bug is fixed. This emergency patch has been in place for 2 weeks now, blocking updates, however the shim-signed bug appears to be fixed now but the quirk is still in place - perhaps the "system vendor is unknown" check should be removed for now, and once verified the quirk removed altogether? ** Affects: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Patch added: "Patch to remove the "unknown vendor" part of the Apple quirk for now which affects non-Apple hardware, while SRE verifies the shim issue is fixed with Apple hardware" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1931112/+attachment/5502933/+files/duq-dmiunknown.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1931112 Title: Apple vendor quirk check for LP#1928434 incorrectly fails on all non- DMI hardware To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1931112/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
