This fix is hard to tell if it is correct since it just sets a flag to be non-random garbage. However, with the testing I have done on Trusty and Wily I don't see any regressions from it so I am going to mark it as verified.

This bug was fixed in the package thermald - 1.4.3-5~14.04.4

Hello Colin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted thermald into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thermald/1.7.0-5ubuntu4 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

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.
