after some more commentary from the customer, I'm still not convinced that this isn't related to the hardware itself, HOWEVER, while doing a bit more deubgging I noticed that the boot_mode_test.py script opens files but does not properly close them (expecting python to close them on exit?)
So while this may or may not resolve the hang that was reported when the secureboot test runs, I can at least fix this a bit so that we properly close the files after reading them. ** Changed in: plainbox-provider-checkbox Status: Invalid => Incomplete ** Changed in: plainbox-provider-checkbox Status: Incomplete => Fix Committed ** Changed in: plainbox-provider-checkbox Status: Fix Committed => In Progress ** Changed in: plainbox-provider-checkbox Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: plainbox-provider-checkbox Assignee: (unassigned) => Jeff Lane (bladernr) ** Changed in: plainbox-provider-checkbox Milestone: None => 0.57.0 -- 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/1896119 Title: Catting the SecureBoot efivar in /sys hangs Status in Provider for Plainbox - Checkbox: In Progress Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: During testing, a machine locked up appearing to hang on the secure boot mode test. Looking at the test logs, both of the things that use boot_mode_test.py have triggered this issue: miscellanea/reboot_firmware crashed miscellanea/secure_boot_mode crashed as this doesn't do much beyond open up a file in efivars, this is puzzling behaviour. Need to figure out what would trigger this and how to work around it.
