What a "manual config needed" screen in firstboot could look like
Created attachment 575476 [details]
Manual subscription necesssary dialog
The screen in comment 1 is only for firstboot correct? There are other situations where we currently show a small dialog stating that the user should manually subscribe because of X. 1) Service Level not supported by server. 2) No installed products on system. 3) All installed products are covered by valid subscriptions. 4) Unable to subscribe to any additional products with service level: %s 5) No service levels will cover all installed products. How do folks feel about reusing the screen in comment 1 for these situations in firstboot instead of the dialog that appears over the Create User screen. We could add a 'message' at the top, and just reiterate the text in comment 1. There is NOT a lot of extra work involved in doing this. Pretty much adding one line per case. I would suggest we do it for 6.3. I will also attach a screen shot. Created attachment 576559 [details]

Might just be compression affecting the screenshot, but it looks like the "All Available Subscriptions" isn't consistently bolded in your screenshot. All looks like it's regular. In the future I'd like to have more messaging around which products could be satisfied/which can't/at what SLA, so users have a better idea what's getting in the way and what to look for when they're manually subscribing. I imagine that's not trivial though and will probably have to wait so we can revisit later. Available in subscription-manager-0.99.14-1+, subscription-manager-1.0.0-1+ RHEL6.3: 71fa5ad9c707e40da05b4db38437aaef919d8692 master: f42a18683b52f3c2df64f7165c2170fa074551a6 NOTE: We did not have time to address the wording of the 'skip' checkbox on the registration page. A new bug has been created to address this issue in 5.9. BZ: 811553 Created attachment 577090 [details]
