I'm not convinced that these are not in fact the same system. Unfortunately, the crashes are not complete apport reports and are missing information that would help distinguish them as different systems. However, as you mention whoopsie first tries to use /sys/class/dmi/id/product and if the system were reinstalled this would be the same. So its possible the owner of the system just reinstalled. Additionally, looking at the crash reports we can see the installation date is the same for one set of them and another set (the two oldest crash reports), so I'm pretty certain this is a reinstall. > whoopsie uses first tries to use /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid then > falls back to other things. > > It seems that /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid is sometimes a bogus value > e.g. > > 00020003-0004-0005-0006-000700080009 > > As seen in http://launchpad.net/bugs/1323081. I agree that this is a problem and I think its better tracked in bug 1636954. Although it is curious that the hashed system id for the bogus product_uuid doesn't have many recent crashes. So, I wonder how wide spread of a problem it is. -- Brian Murray -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1745350 Title: whoopsie id is not unique To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whoopsie/+bug/1745350/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
