That GUI box is actually being displayed by consolehelper and not by rhn_register, so not sure how much control we really have on this one. In the case that DISPLAY is unset (or set to a text console) then we do get the TUI prompting for root password. We (Red Hat) should try to fix this before next release. This will require a change in usermode. See bug #52232 er, make that bug #52532 This is SEV LOW.. and the problem appears to not be up2date at all.. I am not sure how to re-categorize it, but it also appears there is another bug about this already. I just BUGGED it cause I was told to on the mailing list. Tommy Well, it's really annoying when you're coming in over SSH and it shoves GTK down the line.... bug 53417 (in rhn_register; bug accessible by beta only) is the same issue Well... type "unset DISPLAY" (for bash like shell) then it wont have a DISPLAY to push it to :p Tommy I can also just not use the -X option with ssh. That doesn't change the fact that if an X app pops up after I use the --nox option, then there's a bug. Again, this is the result of a bug in consolehelper . . . so, as soon as that issue gets resolved, this one will not be a problem. The next version of consolehelper will fix this. Since this is a consolehelper bug and not an up2date bug, and the bug is fixed in current code, I'm going to close this bug. |
