Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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 Marius Vollmer 2019-11-05 14:40:57 UTC

Description of problem:

Cockpit can connect people to Insights on RHEL 7, but only if the insights-client is already installed.  Since it is not installed by default, Cockpit should offer to install it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cockpit 195.4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Remove insights-client package
1. Log into Cockpit
2. Go to "Subscriptions"
3. Open "Register" dialog

Actual results:
No mention of Insights.

Expected results:
The dialog should have a checkbox for connecting to Insights

https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/13269 updates this to use yum directly. Much less nice progress reporting/UI, but at least works out of the box.
