Description of problem: Please reference ticket# 105649 it is similar to mine, but different versions. I am trying to register my Fedora Core system using the Up2Date Utility. AFter I registered. ITs giving me this error when trying to update material. ITs preventing me from updating anything. Its also stating in my RHN Profile that I am using RedHat 1.0 ... ====================================================================== Error Message: Please run rhn_register (or up2date --register on Red Hat Linux 8.0) as root on this client Error Class Code: 9 Error Class Info: Invalid System Credentials. Explanation: An error has occurred while processing your request. If this problem persists please enter a bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com. If you choose to submit the bug report, please be sure to include details of what you were trying to do when this error occurred and details on how to reproduce this problem. ====================================================================== This is the profle that is listed in my RHN. System Properties Profile Name: gurus.homelinux.org Entitlement: Demo Notifications: Errata Email Auto Errata Update: Auto Errata Update only available for paying accounts Buy Now Description: Initial Registration Parameters: OS: Red Hat Linux Release: 1 CPU Arch: i686-redhat-linux Location: (none) ====================================================================== Also the up2date agent gives this after trying to register Invalid Architecture and OS release combination (1, i686-redhat-linux). Your system has been registered, but will not receive updates because it is not subscribed to a channel. If you have not yet activated your product for service, please visit our website at: http://www.redhat.com/now ...to activate your product. ====================================================================== Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Up2Date Agent: latest release How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. run rhn_register or up2date --register 2. run up2date 3. Actual results: unable to lovate the fedora core channel, or a the channel responsible for fedora core Expected results: ability to reside with a channel for fedora Additional info:
I think that this issue with up2date in combination with the rhn_register command is well documented in bug ID :114530 If you comment out the line "up2date default" in the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file you will no longer have problems with channel subscriptions, RHN registrations and weird things that actually ARE useless (from my point of view) for the fedora distro. This is because fedora users, do not have any option to alter their channel subscriptions from the RHN official site. However, that used to be a very usefull utility for the Redhat distros, where you were able to subscripe your system in a channel like "updates" and have it been automatically updated with up2date. So 2 options are available: 1. Either the official support from Redhat Network will stop completelly for Fedora or 2. Developers will modify the programs, not to include the rhn_register option for the users Since my participation in redhat bugzilla is very limited, i don't alter the status of this "BUG". But if my information was usefull, than, someone plz change the status of this "BUG" Regards Anastasios Zafeiropoulos Greece
