Fixed In Version:		Doc Type:	Known Issue
Doc Text:	The "brandbot.path" service may cause subscription-manager to change the /etc/os-release file in 7.1 installations The `/etc/os-release` file may still specify the 7.1 version even after Atomic Host has been upgraded to 7.2 using the `atomic host upgrade` command. This occurs because the underlying ostree tool preserves modified files in `/etc`. As a workaround, after upgrading to 7.2, run the following command: `cp /usr/etc/os-release /etc`. This way, the `/etc/os-release` file will return to an unmodified state, and because _brandbot.path_ is masked in 7.2.0, it will not be modified in the future by subscription-manager, and future upgrades will show the correct version.

Description Micah Abbott 2015-03-20 14:54:48 UTC

Description of problem:
After upgrading from GA using stage, the grub menuentry drops any mention of 'Atomic Host'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

* 2015-03-20 12:49:39     7.1.1     42a948cec4     rhel-atomic-host     rhel-atomic-host-ostree:rhel-atomic-host/7/x86_64/standard     

How reproducible:

All the time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Boot RHELAH GA image
2.  Subscribe to stage via subman
3.  Use 'atomic host upgrade'
4.  Examine '/boot/grub/grub2.cfg'

Actual results:

The grub menuentry line is changed from:

menuentry 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host 7.1 7.1.0 (ostree)'....

...to:

menuentry 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1.1 (ostree)'....

and

menuentry 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1.0 (ostree)'....


Expected results:

I expected to have the menuentry lines to include 'Atomic Host' in the name, like:

menuentry 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host 7.1.1 (ostree)'....

menuentry 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host 7.1.0 (ostree)'....

Indeed...actually for me it looks like *both* entries drop the "Atomic Host" part.

Comment 3 Colin Walters 2015-03-20 15:57:53 UTC

This is subscription-manager changing /etc/os-release.

Is this some metadata in candlepin that needs to be changed?  Why is subman changing `PRETTY_NAME` regardless?

If this becomes a frequently reported issue, we could investigate adding a systemd unit file to fix it on boot.

Comment 17 Derrick Ornelas 2019-03-07 19:29:11 UTC

Fixed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host 7.2.0
