From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:0.9.3+) Gecko/20010830 Description of problem: Following registration with rhn, up2date crashes on start everytime I run it. Error is only visible if run from command line. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run up2date and register with rhn if not already registered. 2. run up2date again from a terminal Actual Results: [root@Base rhn]# up2date Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server For this beta release of Red Hat Linux, the up2date program has been configured to point to a different Red Hat Network server. This server (beta.rhns.redhat.com) can be used to obtain updated packages for the duration of this Red Hat Linux beta test ONLY. After the beta test has been completed, this Red Hat Network server will no longer be available for use.

"""> [root@Base rhn]# Expected Results: Program should run. Additional info: This is a fresh install of the beta on a new hardrive. I may have mucked something up the first time I registered with rhn. My old system profile was still entitled in my account. I removed it and then reinstalled the up2date package, and registered again.
One of two things is happening. Either your machine is registered with the beta site (as it should be) and up2date is still talking to the live site, or your machine is registered with the live site and up2date is talking to the beta site. Check out the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn_register config file and make sure that serverURL is set to 'https://beta.rhns.redhat.com/XMLRPC' Then check the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date config file and make sure that serverURL is pointing to 'https://beta.rhns.redhat.com/XMLRPC' If you have to make a change in the rhn_register file, then you will need to rerun rhn_register and register your machine again. If you made the change in the up2date config file, then you should be good to go.
serverURL was correct in the up2date conf file, but not in rhn_register. Corected, reregistered, and it seems to work. Thanks for the tip!
also, there is another bug pointed out by this post. Namely that the invalid certificate error was being show in a gui dialog when runing the client in gui mode. This is a bug. This will be fixed in the next version.
I get a very similar error - I do not get the Xlib: lines, but everything after the dialog box popup I do get (I am running X at the time - haven't tried it outside of X). Everything after the dialog box is identical to what nu11i7y reports. I checked the files listed (rhn_register and up2date), and both of the serverURL's were correct - running rhn_register gets the question: 'This system appears to already be registered. Continue anyway? I have not yet re-run the registration, and www.redhat.com/network seems to be down right now. P.S. - Hi Chip!
User error. He rhn_register'd with 7.1 and then upgraded to roswell and didn't re-rhn_register to the beta servers.
