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 Jan Pazdziora 2010-05-18 06:23:51 UTC 
Description of problem:

The textual firstboot in RHEL 6 Beta does not offer RHN Register even if rhn-setup is installed. This is a regression against RHEL 5.5. Based on discussion with firstboot and setuptool maintainers, it's because RHEL 6 does not have TUI firstboot like RHEL 5 had, which had hardcoded

class TextWindow:
    def __call__(self, screen):
        toolList = [(_("Authentication"), ("/usr/sbin/authconfig-tui"), ("")),
                    (_("Firewall configuration"), ("/usr/bin/system-config-securitylevel-tui"), ("")),
                    (_("Keyboard configuration"), ("/usr/bin/system-config-keyboard"), ("--text")),
                    (_("Network configuration"), ("/usr/sbin/system-config-network-tui"), ("")),
                    (_("Printer configuration"), ("/usr/sbin/printconf-tui"), ("")),
                    (_("System services"), ("/usr/sbin/ntsysv"), ("")),
                    (_("Timezone configuration"), ("/usr/sbin/timeconfig"), ("")),
                    (_("RHN Register"), ("/usr/bin/rhn_register"), (""))]

in /usr/share/firstboot/textWindow.py. Instead, setup is called, and that expects the interested tools to "register" themselves into /etc/setuptool.d or /usr/share/setuptool/setuptool.d. And rhn_register does not do that.

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

# rpm -q setuptool rhn-setup
setuptool-1.19.9-2.el6.i686
rhn-setup-1.1.5-1.el6.noarch

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On RHEL 5, run
  # ( sed -i "s/=NO/=YES/" /etc/sysconfig/firstboot ; unset DISPLAY ; firstboot )
2. On RHEL 6, run the same.
  
Actual results:
