Checkbox system id does not seem to be generated on virtual machines

[Marc Tardif]

When running the command line interface for Checkbox in a virtual machine, the following error occurs:

Error: Failed to process form: Value of 'field.system' key of dict {'field.architecture': 'amd64', 'field.distribution': 'Ubuntu', 'field.date_created': '2010-03-09T21:48:44', 'field.emailaddress': '<email address hidden>', 'field.contactable': 'False', 'field.distroseries': '10.04', 'field.actions.upload': 'Upload', 'field.private': 'False', 'field.format': 'VERSION_1', 'field.live_cd': 'False'} could not be converted: None isn't acceptable as a value

The reason seems to be that the system_info plugin is unable to gather sufficient information from udev.

Mathias, this bug is probably related to bug #537435 which was fixed in version 0.9.1. Please confirm that you are still experiencing the same problem.
