The message is the same, but the issue seems related to the fact that the daemon is not running because it crash.

It looks like the daemon is crashing -- can you get a backtrace of this using gdb please. Thanks!

I'm unpratical with gdb.
Is the attached backtrace ok?
Comment 6 Richard Hughes 2017-11-13 13:25:24 UTC 
That's great thanks. It's a very weird backtrace, and the only way it makes sense is if it's some kind of memory corruption. Could you try running fwupd under valgrind please, and saving the full log -- thanks. We've tried to reproduce this on a few machines here without much luck, so can you also shared what kind of machine you're running on, and also if you have any thunderbolt devices currently installed. Thanks!
Comment 7 Alessio 2017-11-13 13:29:19 UTC 
The hardware is a Dell XPS 13 9360
No thunderbolt devices currently installed.

Thank you.

This is strange to me: running with valgrind the daemon seems that doesn't crash. Is this possible?
Comment 10 Richard Hughes 2017-11-13 14:10:01 UTC 
This looks like a bug in the libsmbios library -- I've reassigned the bug and I'll ping the upstream about it. Thanks for all the help so far.

Not unusual, valgrind often stops the process from doing the thing that actually crashes it. Helpfully for us, it does log when something is doing something crazy. :)

Is that really correct?  You have libsmbios 2.2.1?  There's been a bunch of releases since then, and even on https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/libsmbios the latest is 2.3.0.  Can you please upgrade to that and see if it still reproduces?

Thanks,
Comment 14 Pavel Roskin 2017-11-14 00:00:43 UTC 
Libtool version (the numbers after ".so") are not related to the package version. Any resemblance is accidental.

rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libsmbios_c.so.2.2.1

Unfortunately my 9360 is not reproducing.  Can one of you affected please set
LIBSMBIOS_C_DEBUG_OUTPUT_ALL=1 in your environment and reproduce again?
Comment 19 Mario Limonciello 2017-11-14 17:23:44 UTC 
I think it might be this (which was fixed on master by pjones):
https://github.com/dell/libsmbios/commit/37a99159192d5dac555dfc33ba0cc66de60d79b0

There hasn't been a release in a while though, so I want to make sure that if it isn't that we  get the root cause of this one fixed.

LIBSMBIOS_C_DEBUG_OUTPUT_ALL

The attached file is the output of "/usr/libexec/fwupd/fwupd --verbose" after issuing "export LIBSMBIOS_C_DEBUG_OUTPUT_ALL=1" as root.
Comment 21 Mario Limonciello 2017-11-14 22:32:08 UTC 
That's still missing most of the important output from libsmbios.  Can you check if it was output to stderr rather than stdout or something?  It looks like it should be: https://github.com/dell/libsmbios/blob/0a6ba645725a10f78c19f8dde73550ab0093c21c/src/libsmbios_c/common/compiler/gcc.h

stderr when running "LIBSMBIOS_C_DEBUG_OUTPUT_ALL=1 /usr/libexec/fwupd/fwupd"

The last line is "dell_smi_factory: failed"

If I run fwupd under valgrind and then run "fwupdmgr get-updates", I get:

No upgrades for device, current is 0.1.14.4: 0.1.12.4=older

I understand I have a newer version of BIOS on my system than available through the update channel.
Comment 24 Kalev Lember 2017-11-15 11:00:31 UTC 
Does anything change if you update to libsmbios-2.3.3-1.fc27, https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-c776007d0e ? It doesn't have the latest fixes from libsmbios git, but at least it is a bit newer than the 2.3.0 release in F27 stable.

After installing libsmbios-2.3.3-1.fc27.x86_64.rpm and starting fwdupd service, it seems all right!

Excellent! Thanks for testing. Can you also leave positive karma to both the libsmbios update and the fwupd update if things are working properly again?
