As part of (un)stable whoopsie persistent machine identifier generation /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid is used.
However:
$ ls /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid
-r-------- 1 root root 4096 Aug 2 01:23 /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid
It's not world-readable. Hence API calls to whoopsie_identifier_generate return different results for root and non-root users.
Either whoopsie should stop using product_uuid, or api calls to whoopsie_identifier_generate should be denied and instead one should use whoopsie-preferences which gets the full uuid... |

Either whoopsie should stop using product_uuid, or api calls to whoopsie_identifier_generate should be denied and instead one should use whoopsie-preferences which gets the full uuid (since the service is running as root on system dbus and thus can read product_uuid) |
