RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
Some warnings appear on a console when running firstboot or subscription-manager-gui.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.8 Beta (Santiago)
----------------------------------------
server type This system is currently not registered.
subscription management server 0.9.51.15-1
subscription management rules 5.15.1
subscription-manager 1.16.8-7.el6
python-rhsm 1.16.6-1.el6
---------------------------- ----------------------------
Product 69.pem
135.pem
---------------------------- ----------------------------
Entitlement ---------------------------- ----------------------------
How reproducible:
Run subscription-manager-gui or firstboot at console.
The warnings appear everytime.
Steps to Reproduce:
I start firstboot from root console.
When starting this appears:
#+BEGIN_SRC
[root@localhost ~]# firstboot
Loading /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map.gz
Loading /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map.gz
Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0xa0008d (firstboot)
Window manager warning: meta_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed.
#+END_SRC
When closing firstboot this appears:
#+BEGIN_SRC
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/firstboot/interface.py:424: GtkWarning: Attempting to store changes into `/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: Failed to create file '/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.VDPVEY': No such file or directory
gtk.main()
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/firstboot/interface.py:424: GtkWarning: Attempting to set the permissions of `/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: No such file or directory
gtk.main()
firstboot: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :9.
Window manager warning: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on display ':9'.
[root@localhost ~]# pkill -9 Xorg
#+END_SRC
Expected results:
No warning, I guess.
Additional info:
I am able to reproduce this (with the following output) when closing subman gui.
"""
/usr/sbin/subscription-manager-gui:208: GtkWarning: Attempting to store changes into `/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: Failed to create file '/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.SRJ1EY': No such file or directory
sys.exit(ga_Gtk.main() or 0)

sys.exit(ga_Gtk.main() or 0)
"""
Running firstboot from the cli, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it is only launched from the commandline in testing cases.
Yes, it could be due to the fact I run firstboot from console.
I will try it with subscription-manager-gui.
I suspect the messages appear when I run sub-man-gui too.
moment.
I have reproduced the same you wrote:
"""

"""
Nothing more.
If I run sub-man-gui common way (ie using Application desptop menu) Nothing appears in any logfile.
This warning appears because a Gnome session was never started by the root user. It is what causes that file to be created.
The closing of subman gui or firstboot leads to that attempted file access, but it is out of our control. At best we trap it and then report it [maybe] but it would not lead to more or better information than the current warning message.
