Description Peter Stone 2022-06-23 12:54:51 UTC 
Description of problem: GUI-based method of system registration doesn't work on RHEL 9.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ sudo subscription-manager version
server type: This system is currently not registered.
subscription management server: 3.2.22-1
subscription management rules: 5.41
subscription-manager: 1.29.26-3.el9_0



How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 9 from GA image, using "Server with GUI" profile, without registering the system during install.
2. After the installation and first boot, one is prompted to register the system.
3. Go to Settings->About->Subscription. Choose Registration server: Red Hat, Registration type: Activation keys. Input correct activation key and organization ID. Press Register.

Actual results: Error message pops up: Failed to register system; Failed to RegisterWithActivationKeys: Unknown arguments: dict_keys(['enable_content'])


Expected results: system should register.


Additional info: As a workaround, the CLI method (# subscription-manager register --org=ORG ID --activationkey= Key Name from https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3341191) with activation key and organization ID works.

Comment 1 Pino Toscano 2022-06-28 10:09:26 UTC 
Hello Peter,

thanks for filing this bug for us.

Can you please clarify what is the UI being used for the registration after the installation?
The context here is that subscription-manager used to provide a page in the "Initial setup" wizard that appears when you graphically log in to RHEL for the first time after the installation. We stopped providing that page in RHEL 9, so I'm surprised you get something like that (and we did not have internal reports about this either).

If possible, can you please attach screenshot(s) of what you get?

Thanks in advance!

@ptoscano I used the graphical UI via the GNOME Settings app to try to register the system.

Screenshots with steps are attached.
Comment 7 Pino Toscano 2022-07-12 12:50:43 UTC 
I had a chat with Felipe Borges from the Desktop Team (that maintains the GNOME integration for Subscriptions).

It seems that the gnome-settings-daemon plugin adds "enable_content" as option for both the "Register" and "RegisterWithActivationKeys" D-Bus methods. The "enable_content" option is used to also attach the content after the registration (as the name says, "enable the content/repositories"). It is useful only when registering with means different than activation keys (e.g. username & password), as activation keys have already an attribute that specifies whether perform this automatic content enablement upon successful registration. There was a request to make "enable_content" usable with "RegisterWithActivationKeys" as well, however it was rejected: bug 2059447.

Because of this, I'm reassigning the bug to gnome-settings-daemon, to make sure "enable_content" is used as option only when registering using "Register".
