** Description changed: + [SRU JUSTIFICATION][XENIAL] + Ubuntu 16.04, dmidecode 3.0-2 can display smibios 2.8 but not smibios 3.0. Rhel 7.2 can display smibios 3.0 on the same system without a problem. + + [FIX] + Let read_file return the actual data size + http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dmidecode.git/commit/?id=de9a74e1c60210bee229fcf55b1678a99d1b44dd + + dmidecode: Use read_file() to read the DMI table from sysfs + http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dmidecode.git/commit/?id=364055211b1956539c6a6268e111e244e1292c8c + + There's also a couple other SMBIOS 3.0 related fixes that is listed as + recomended for 3.0 on http://dmidecode.nongnu.org/ + + Fix 'No SMBIOS nor DMI entry point found' on SMBIOS3 + http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dmidecode.git/commit/?id=bf7bad24ce141dab5b5acc3ffb98ce5fe4a8e0f9 + + Use DWORD for Structure table maximum size in SMBIOS3 + http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dmidecode.git/commit/?id=ab02b117511230e46bbef7febbd854b9c832c13c + + Without the fix, dmidecode fails to display SMBIOS 3.0 tables. With the + fix the headers can be decoded correctly. + + [REGRESSION POTENTIAL] + Could break existing dmi table decoding. However, this has been tested on pre 3.0 and 3.0 SMBIOS tables, so the risk seems minimal as it works on a range of DMI table versions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1578022 Title: dmidecode fails to output smibios 3.0 info To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmidecode/+bug/1578022/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
