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.

Comment 5 J.C. Molet 2010-12-08 17:30:29 UTC 
subscription-manager-gnome-0.93.2-1.git.91.7f89664.fc14.x86_64
subscription-manager-0.93.2-1.git.91.7f89664.fc14.x86_64

case 1: 

I started two instances at the same time, second instance failed with:

[root@mgmt5 ~]# subscription-manager-gui 

(subscription-manager-gui:9230): libglade-WARNING **: Unexpected element <property> inside <widget>.

(subscription-manager-gui:9230): libglade-WARNING **: unknown attribute `swapped' for <signal>.

(subscription-manager-gui:9230): libglade-WARNING **: unknown attribute `swapped' for <signal>.
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.2:/gui: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[root@mgmt5 ~]#

================

case 2: 

I started first instance and waited until the gui displayed, then started second instance.  Second instance failed cleanly:

[root@mgmt5 ~]# subscription-manager-gui 

(subscription-manager-gui:9253): libglade-WARNING **: Unexpected element <property> inside <widget>.

(subscription-manager-gui:9253): libglade-WARNING **: unknown attribute `swapped' for <signal>.

(subscription-manager-gui:9253): libglade-WARNING **: unknown attribute `swapped' for <signal>.
[root@mgmt5 ~]#


===========

Additional comments:

Second window did not open. Looks to be fixed.
