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 Timothée Ravier 2022-02-23 16:36:09 UTC 
Description of problem:

Fresh installations of C9S or RHEL9 gives me this error in the GNOME Software interface and in the logs:

Similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2035781 but I don't think it's the same bug.


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

RHEL-9.1.0-20220222.1-x86_64-dvd1
C9S ISO as of Feb 17th.

How reproducible:

Always, right after installation, first time I open GNOME Software.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install system
2. Open GNOME Software

Actual results:

Error message


Expected results:

No error message

Thanks for a bug report.

I agree, it was due to vncserver usage there.

These things get lost very easily, better to follow the template text (Version-Release number of selected component), aka to give the gnome-software package version (rpm -q gnome-software).

A similar bug from Fedora 29:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1692043
which doesn't have any resolution.

Maybe this could be covered by:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1981776
as I believe once the "mkdirat" error disappears the GNOME Software will be error free as well. Could you try to:

   $ sudo flatpak repair
   $ gnome-software --quit
   $ gnome-software

please? The flatpak command should fix the problem (as that bug description says), while the other two commands restart gnome-software.
