Description Max Spevack 2004-10-08 16:08:49 UTC

Description of problem:
Behavior of nag functionality in firstboot is a bit choppy.

Nags should occur when:
- you do not provide a subscription number
- there is no base channel for the system

Adrian, am I missing any cases?

Comment 1 Adrian Likins 2004-10-08 19:52:37 UTC

rhn-applet-2.1.13

Comment 2 Max Spevack 2004-10-12 16:03:01 UTC

1.  If you set the nag interval to a low number, the main nag box will
continue to pop up even if you have proceeded to the smaller dialog
(ie: chosen the "do not activate" radio on the large screen.

Comment 3 Max Spevack 2004-10-12 19:56:53 UTC

In terms of the "nag when there is no base channel", the test plan is:

1.  create a  new account
2.  register the box in firstboot, choosing "use my existing entitlement"
3.  The box will appear with the demo entitlement and no base channel.

However, currently, when this happens, the rhn_register_remind file in
/etc/sysconfig/rhn isn't being created, and so no nagging occurs.

Comment 5 Max Spevack 2004-10-14 21:30:51 UTC

Naggig is finally fixed, but I am leaving this bug in ON_DEV for a
reason mentioned at the end of this comment.

There are three cases for nagging:

1.  User chooses to avoid all RHN registration during firstboot.
2.  User has no networking configured.
3.  User enters no registration number, and therefore the system has
no base channel.

***Note that case 3 will only work on the code currently in dev***

Confirm nagging behavior with 2.1.18-4.
