[Bug 1860055] Re: codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0: invalid start byte

2020-02-24 Thread Guillaume Pothier
I was able to fix this by upgrading the BIOS on the machine. Still, the
error reporting in landscape config could be improved. It could say
something like: "Your machine's DMI information could not be decoded and
is probably corrupt. Try upgrading your BIOS".

Same here, also with a NUC. It seems the DMI information is incorrect:
gpothier@nuc-reuniones:~$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor 
�
gpothier@nuc-reuniones:~$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/chassis_vendor 
�
gpothier@nuc-reuniones:~$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name 
�
gpothier@nuc-reuniones:~$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/bios_vendor 
Intel Corporation


However, the failure to decode DMI information is not properly reported I 
think, as at a timeout error is the output of the command.
