RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Miguel Armas 2014-01-29 18:21:05 UTC 
Description of problem:

grub lens does not handle "foreground" option

augeas-libs-1.0.0-5.el6_5.1.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add something like this to your grub conf

default=0
timeout=5
foreground=ddb434
hiddenmenu

2. Run augtool to list title entries

augtool ls /files/etc/grub.conf/title

Actual results:

You get an empty list

Expected results:

You should get the list of entries configured in grub.conf

If you comment out the "foreground" option, everything works

Additional info:

The problem is in grub lens, because it handles the "background" option, but not "foreground"

It can be fixed just adding "foreground" option to the menu_settings

It seems a quite harmless bug, but it makes virt-v2v fail when trying to migrate a VM with this option, that's how I traced this problem back to augeas...

Can reproduce with augeas-1.0.0-5.el6_5.1.x86_64
Comment 4 Lingfei Kong 2014-06-04 09:11:52 UTC 
Verified with augeas-1.0.0-6.el6
Steps to verify:
1. Add something like this to grub conf
default=0
timeout=5
foreground=ddb434
hiddenmenu

2.#augtool ls /files/etc/grub.conf/title
root = (hd0,0)
kernel/ = /vmlinuz-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64
initrd = /initramfs-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64.img

3. Remove foreground=ddb434

4. #augtool ls /files/etc/grub.conf/title
root = (hd0,0)
kernel/ = /vmlinuz-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64
initrd = /initramfs-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64.img
