initial-setup-grahical run from terminal

Description of problem:

I cannot register a system in initial-setup-graphical.

If I run it in terminal I see traceback:

   Exception in thread ValidateServerThread:
   Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/threading.py", line 916, in _bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/threading.py", line 864, in run
    self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/subscription_manager/gui/registergui.py", line 2196, in _validate_server
    conn = UEPConnection(hostname, int(port), prefix)
TypeError: __init__() takes 1 positional argument but 4 were given

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


this is a piece of code in rhsm.connections:

   def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        """
        Multiple ways to authenticate:
            - username/password for HTTP basic authentication. (owner admin role)
            - uuid/key_file/cert_file for identity cert authentication.
              (consumer role)
            - token (when supported by the server)

        Must specify only one method of authentication.
        """
        user_agent = "RHSM/1.0 (cmd=%s)" % utils.cmd_name(sys.argv)
        super(UEPConnection, self).__init__(user_agent=user_agent, **kwargs)

UEPConnection does not accept *args.


Steps to reproduce:

on unregistered system run:

/usr/libexec/initial-setup/initial-setup-graphical

Click on 'Subscription Manager' button.
Click on 'I will use an Activation key' - I think it is not manatory (due to the bug type)
Click on 'Next'

You will see a dialog 'Registering' and 'Validating connection'.
The application will get stuck in this dialog.



You will see traceback in terminal (I've added debug statements there)
