Description Jan Stodola 2020-01-15 16:53:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
The installation source in the Installation source spoke is incorrectly updated after registration to Red Hat during the installation. It happens when inst.repo= is present on the kernel command line. See steps below.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-8.2 Beta
anaconda-29.19.2.6-1.el8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start the installation with inst.repo= on the kernel command line (tested with an http installation source)
2. proceed to the "Connect to Red Hat" spoke and register the system
3. return back to the main hub
4. see the installation source displayed in the main hub (it's set to the http source specified on the kernel command line, which is expected)
5. enter the Installation source spoke
6. see what installation source is selected

Actual results:
"Red Hat CDN" is selected and the field for entering the network installation source has been cleared.

Expected results:
Anaconda should keep the "On the network" installation source selected and configured with the http repository specified on the kernel command line. The user should be able to switch to "Red Hat CDN" if she/he decides to change the source.

Comment 9 Martin Kolman 2020-02-04 11:16:57 UTC 
Also adding an updates image for anyone who might want to try the fix on a recent RHEL 8.2 nightly:

Comment 10 Jan Stodola 2020-02-14 09:04:06 UTC 
Martin,
I tried the updates image and the source is correctly unchanged after registering.
There is one problem - the "Software Selection" spoke says that "Source changed - please verify" after the registration, so the user has to enter the Source Selection spoke, although the source has not been changed. And the same happens after unregistering.

Now targetted to be fixed by PR: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/2319 (previous PR from comment 8 has been superseded).
