Thermald sysfs read failed /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zoneX/temp

Can you run the following and report back the output:

cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone4/type

and:

ls -al /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone4/device

thanks

Sure, here are the outputs:

cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone4/type
SEN1

ls -al /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone4/device
ls: cannot access '/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone4/device': No such file or directory

Are you able to boot into a previous non-4.15 kernel and repeat the steps in message #1?

And with the 4.15 kernel can you run the following and report back the output:

find /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone4/ -type f -print -exec cat {} \;

and:

ls -al /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone4/

and run the following and attach the log to the bug report.

journalctl -n 10000 > journalctl.log

With 4.14 :
cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone4/type
B0D4

ls -al /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone4/device
ls: cannot access '/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone4/device': No such file or directory

with 4.15:
find /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone4/ -type f -print -exec cat {} \;
find /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone4/ -type f -print -exec cat {} \;

I believe the iwlwifi driver is providing a iwlwifi-virtual-0 thermal zone but the temperature information cannot be read, hence thermald can't read this and produces the warning. However, it was my expectation that thermald should disable reading this and hence you shouldn't see many of these warnings appear.

Ah, I'm mistaken, that gets loaded later. Do you mind supplying the list of modules loaded on your machine so I can see if I can find the driver that is failing on the thermal zone 4. Can you run:

lsmod

and paste the output into the bug report. Thanks!

I am thinking wifi. If this is it, then I will do something for this.

I'm adding a small change to thermald so it does not continually spam the log.

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1764320

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

This bug was fixed in the package thermald - 1.7.0-5

---------------
thermald (1.7.0-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Don't continually re-read broken temperature sysfs file (LP: #1764320)
    log once that is unreadble, thereafter don't re-read as this
    will spam the log with read failure messages

Tested on my machine using http://launchpadlibrarian.net/366148394/thermald_1.7.0-5_amd64.deb, working fine!

Thank you @colin-king

@swid by "working fine!" do you just mean that the log entries are gone, or do you mean that thermald still works properly, including controlling temperature?

I just reported this CRITICAL bug against 1.7.0-5 in Debian:

Bug#896132: thermald uninitialised member causes loss of temperature control
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=896132

The bug was introduced by the patch for the issue you reported. I have attached a patch that fixes it.

Thanks Ben for spotting the bug and for the fix, I'm uploading that to Debian right now and will sync it into Ubuntu as soon as it is ready for syncing. Much appreciated.

Thanks, Colin. I will test it as soon as I can.

Confirmed fixed in Debian 1.7.0-6 (amd64 from incoming). Thanks, Colin.

I tried restarting thermald (1.7.0-5) at least 10 times, and the system always see the same broken sensor, the same as in 1.7.0-4 and the same as in 1.7.0-6.

Perhaps by luck (or perhaps because some library or compiler version difference) thermald 1.7.0-5 worked fine on my 18.04 setup.

I'm tracking the fix in Ubuntu with bug report 1765572

The bionic SRU test message occurred because I accidentally uploaded the package with the entire old history. This bug has already been fixed and the verification for bionic can be ignored.
