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.
The "Back" button used in the "firstboot" utility is not working properly. It is often disabled, and if it is enabled, pressing it has no effect. Consequently, during Subscription Management Registration, clicking "Back" does not return you to the previous panel. If you want to go back, enter an invalid server or invalid credentials and click "Done". After this, either an "Unable to reach the server" dialog or an "Unable to register the system" dialog appears at the top of the initial "firstboot" panel. Dismiss the error dialog, and choose the "No, I prefer to register at a later time" option.

Additional info:
I am trying to close just about all firstboot bugs, but in this case I kind of think something needs to be done.
I believe what we're seeing here is the result of us being the only remaining firstboot module. Because there's no other module to go back to, it does nothing.
Ideally it should just let you "re-start" our module. I'm worried this is a firstboot problem itself, which is unmaintained now, but we should investigate and see if there's anything we can do.
