Mathieu, yes, this does effect Wily as well, which I forgot to mention. System76 worked around this by backporting dmidecode 3.0 from Xenial and delivering it in our PPA.
Originally I thought this would be the best approach for Trusty also, but dmidecode 3.0 seems to have problems when used with the 3.19 kernel and older (dmidecode segfaults when attempting to decode certain --string keys). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1539266 Title: 14.04.4: work-around "SMBIOS-implementations-newer-than- version-2-8..." junk from dmidecode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1539266/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
