Cannot get the IMEI number

[XiaoGuo, Liu]

I have a simple code like:

        DeviceInfo {
            id: deviceInfos
        }

                ListItem.SingleValue {
                    objectName: "imeiItem"
                    property string imeiNumber
                    imeiNumber: deviceInfos.imei(0)
                    text: "IMEI"
                    value: imeiNumber
                    visible: true
                }

If I set the "Security Profile" to the following:

{
    "policy_groups": [],
    "policy_version": 1.1,
    "template": "unconfined"
}

Then I can get the IMEI number. However, if I set it to:

{
    "policy_groups": [
        "networking",
        "connectivity"
    ],
    "policy_version": 1.1
}

I could not get the IMEI number. According to http://developer.ubuntu.com/publish/apps/security-policy-for-click-packages/

connectivity: Can access coarse network connectivity information
QML: qtdeclarative5-systeminfo-plugin
import QtSystemInfo <version>
Other APIs: Qt5 QHostAddress and QNetworkInterface

"connectivity" has been added, however, it does not retrieve any of the useful information. I have checked the "/var/log/syslog", there is no violation as well.

Best regards,
XiaoGuo

I think this issue is hardly caused by the QtCreator plugins. I try to find the team who can help to solve this issue.

What is the output of 'grep DEN /var/log/syslog'?

[XiaoGuo, Liu (liu-xiao-guo)]

In fact, I did not see anything there. Is it very strange?

[Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand)]

Kernel rate limiting may be in effect. Can you perform on the system exhibiting the problem:
sudo sysctl -w kernel.printk_ratelimit=0

Then try to run the app under confinement? Please post the output of 'grep DEN /var/log/syslog' after.

[XiaoGuo, Liu (liu-xiao-guo)]

Hi,

The policy is defined as:

{

"policy_groups": [],

"policy_version": 1.1,

"template": "unconfined"

}

and run my app directly, it shows the IMEI number. Then

root@ubuntu-phablet:/var# grep DEN /var/log/syslog

root@ubuntu-phablet:/var#

Nothing is shown after checking the syslog. Then,

root@ubuntu-phablet:/var# sudo sysctl -w kernel.printk_ratelimit=0
kernel.printk_ratelimit = 0

root@ubuntu-phablet:/var# grep DEN /var/log/syslog
root@ubuntu-phablet:/var# grep DEN /var/log/syslog
root@ubuntu-phablet:/var# grep DEN /var/log/syslog
root@ubuntu-phablet:/var# sudo sysctl -w kernel.printk_ratelimit=0
kernel.printk_ratelimit = 0
root@ubuntu-phablet:/var# sudo sysctl -w kernel.printk_ratelimit=0
kernel.printk_ratelimit = 0
root@ubuntu-phablet:/var# grep DEN /var/log/syslog
root@ubuntu-phablet:/var#

Nothing is shown again. If I change the policy to the normal one, it does
not show the IMEI number at all. Is it because I did not define the correct
policy group?

Thanks & best regards,
XiaoGuo

Hi,

The policy is defined as:

{
"policy_groups": [],
"policy_version": 1.1,
"template": "unconfined"
}

and run my app directly, it shows the IMEI number. Then

root@ubuntu-phablet:/var# grep DEN /var/log/syslog
root@ubuntu-phablet:/var#

Nothing is shown after checking the syslog. Then,

root@ubuntu-phablet:/var# sudo sysctl -w kernel.printk_ratelimit=0
kernel.printk_ratelimit = 0

root@ubuntu-phablet:/var# grep DEN /var/log/syslog
root@ubuntu-phablet:/var# grep DEN /var/log/syslog
root@ubuntu-phablet:/var# grep DEN /var/log/syslog
root@ubuntu-phablet:/var# sudo sysctl -w kernel.printk_ratelimit=0
kernel.printk_ratelimit = 0
root@ubuntu-phablet:/var# sudo sysctl -w kernel.printk_ratelimit=0
kernel.printk_ratelimit = 0
root@ubuntu-phablet:/var# grep DEN /var/log/syslog
root@ubuntu-phablet:/var#

Nothing is shown again. If I change the policy to the normal one, it does not show the IMEI number at all. Is it because I did not define the correct policy group?

Thanks & best regards,

I think I wasn't clear. These are the steps:

1. sudo sysctl -w kernel.printk_ratelimit=0 # only has to be done once per boot

2. adjust the security profile to be:
{
"policy_groups": [],
"policy_version": 1.1,
"template": "ubuntu-sdk"
}

3. install the click app

4. run 'sudo aa-clickhook -f' to regenerate the apparmor policy (needed if you didn't rev the version number of the click package)

4. start the app to trigger the behavior

5. see if 'grep DEN /var/log/syslog'

If it is apparmor, you should see denials. While there are explicit deny rules in the ubuntu-sdk template to silence noisy denials, none of those should be what is breaking the app. If you see denials, please paste them here. If you do not, please look in ~/.cache/upstart/application-click-<your application>.log and post the errors.

Note, this may be a duplicate of bug #1226844.

[XiaoGuo, Liu (liu-xiao-guo)]

Hi Jamie,

Thanks. This time, I see the denial message:

Jul 8 13:38:40 ubuntu-phablet dbus[718]: apparmor="DENIED" operation="dbus_method_call" bus="system" path="/" interface="org.ofono.Manager" member="GetModems" mask="send" name="org.ofono" pid=7659 profile="com.ubuntu.developer.liu-xiao-guo.deviceinfo_DeviceInfo_0.1" peer_pid=1232 peer_profile="unconfined"
Jul 8 13:41:31 ubuntu-phablet dbus[718]: apparmor="DENIED" operation="dbus_method_call" bus="system" path="/" interface="org.ofono.Manager" member="GetModems" mask="send" name="org.ofono" pid=7919 profile="com.ubuntu.developer.liu-xiao-guo.deviceinfo_DeviceInfo_0.1" peer_pid=1232 peer_profile="unconfined"

I think it does not show anything in the Qt Creator application output window. It is not so convenient to check the syslog.

Best regards,
XiaoGuo

[Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand)]

Ok, thank you for testing that. This is indeed a duplicate of bug #1226844.

[XiaoGuo, Liu (liu-xiao-guo)]

May I know whether the QStorageInfo/QSystemInfo API is supported on our
Ubuntu Touch platform? I cannot find the header files for the API. A
customer in China is now looking for such an API for the players.

Thanks!
XiaoGuo
