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 of problem:
When click at Help->Getting Started item in subscription-manager-gui at RHEL7 or Fedora, then nothing happens, because subscription-manager-gui tries to open ghelp:subscription-manager using gnome-open command and it isn't available at rhel7/fedora anymore. It probably works at RHEL6.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@localhost ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: This system is currently not registered.
subscription management server: 0.9.51.21-1
subscription management rules: 5.15.1
subscription-manager: 1.17.15-1.el7.centos
python-rhsm: 1.17.9-1.el7
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch subscription-manager-gui
2. Click at: Help->Getting Started in main menu
Actual results:
Nothing happens.
Expected results:
Open documentation in yelp app.
Additional info:
Note: we believe that this only occurs in the use case where a user starts with a minimal installation and does yum install subscription-manager-gui (similar to our font issue). We want to support this by providing proper requirements in the spec file, etc.
The more typical use case is to install @Desktop group, which provides implicitly necessary requirements, thus the lower priority/severity. Nevertheless, this issue is valid and valuable to fix.
