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.

Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version:		Doc Type:	Known Issue
Doc Text:	The "brandbot.path" service may cause subscription-manager to change the /etc/os-release file in 7.1 installations The `/etc/os-release` file may still specify the 7.1 version even after Atomic Host has been upgraded to 7.2 using the `atomic host upgrade` command. This occurs because the underlying ostree tool preserves modified files in `/etc`. As a workaround, after upgrading to 7.2, run the following command: `cp /usr/etc/os-release /etc`. This way, the `/etc/os-release` file will return to an unmodified state, and because _brandbot.path_ is masked in 7.2.0, it will not be modified in the future by subscription-manager, and future upgrades will show the correct version.

Description Micah Abbott 2015-03-20 14:54:48 UTC

Description of problem:
After upgrading from GA using stage, the grub menuentry drops any mention of 'Atomic Host'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

* 2015-03-20 12:49:39     7.1.1     42a948cec4     rhel-atomic-host     rhel-atomic-host-ostree:rhel-atomic-host/7/x86_64/standard     

How reproducible:

All the time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Boot RHELAH GA image
2.  Subscribe to stage via subman
3.  Use 'atomic host upgrade'
4.  Examine '/boot/grub/grub2.cfg'

Actual results:

The grub menuentry line is changed from:

menuentry 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host 7.1 7.1.0 (ostree)'....

...to:

menuentry 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1.1 (ostree)'....

and

menuentry 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1.0 (ostree)'....


Expected results:

I expected to have the menuentry lines to include 'Atomic Host' in the name, like:

menuentry 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host 7.1.1 (ostree)'....

menuentry 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host 7.1.0 (ostree)'....


Additional info:

Comment 2 Colin Walters 2015-03-20 15:23:46 UTC

Indeed...actually for me it looks like *both* entries drop the "Atomic Host" part.

Comment 3 Colin Walters 2015-03-20 15:57:53 UTC

This is subscription-manager changing /etc/os-release.

Is this some metadata in candlepin that needs to be changed?  Why is subman changing `PRETTY_NAME` regardless?

If this becomes a frequently reported issue, we could investigate adding a systemd unit file to fix it on boot.

Fixed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host 7.2.0
