I'm going to go ahead and mark the kernel task as invalid as the workaround is to read /proc/modules as root.
** Merge proposal linked: https://code.launchpad.net/~bladernr/plainbox-provider-resource/+git/plainbox-provider-resource/+merge/341752 ** Changed in: plainbox-provider-checkbox (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1757143 Title: /proc/modules has Null references causing python parsing issues Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in plainbox-provider-checkbox package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: EDIT: this originally looked like some sort of regression in the module_resource script of plainbox-provider-resource, however, on diving in a bit it seems the root cause is that /proc/modules in 4.15 is different than in previous kernels. This is a line from 4.15's /proc/modules data: e1000e 249856 0 - Live 0x (null) And this is the same module info from 4.13: e1000e 249856 0 - Live 0x0000000000000000 That null character at the end appears to be causing the script to choke. For that reason, because /proc/modules has somehow changed to include null references (0xNULL is invalid, where 0x0000000 is parsable), I've added a kernel task to this bug. Original Summary: I ran into this issue (and came across some further glitches) while running canonical-certification-server on Ubuntu Server 18.04 on s390x (having 16.04 full selected in canonical-certification-server user interface): $ /usr/lib/plainbox-provider-resource-generic/bin/module_resource Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/plainbox-provider-resource-generic/bin/module_resource", line 73, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/lib/plainbox-provider-resource-generic/bin/module_resource", line 62, in main for module in modules: File "/usr/lib/plainbox-provider-resource-generic/bin/module_resource", line 57, in get_modules yield get_module(line) File "/usr/lib/plainbox-provider-resource-generic/bin/module_resource", line 49, in get_module "offset": int(offset, 16)} ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 16: '0x' result file is attached to the ticket, as well as the console log ...
