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).

Description of problem:
I kickstarted a rhel6 box with the following group packages:
Installed Groups:
Additional Development
Base
Desktop Debugging and Performance Tools
E-mail server
General Purpose Desktop
Graphical Administration Tools
Hardware monitoring utilities
Legacy UNIX compatibility
Legacy X Window System compatibility
Networking Tools
Performance Tools
Perl Support
X Window System
This is a normal base install with the addition of the "X Window System" group packages. After installing subscription-manager-gui and all of its required dependencies, I was unable to launch it at all due to a missing dbus-x11 dependency. After installing this, it launched, but with warnings, and no fonts were able to be rendered.
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a rhel6 base system with "X Window System", and virt-what installed
2. install subscription-manager-gui
3. run subscription-manager-gui
Actual results:
subscription-manager-gui fails to launch:
root@mgmt5 rhsm]# subscription-manager-gui

================================
After the 'dbus-x11' package is installed to remedy this, it launches but no font is able to be selected (see below and attached):
[root@mgmt4 ~]# subscription-manager-gui

Expected results:
It launches without errors and fonts are fully rendered.
Additional info:
I was able to get around the fonts issue by running a: 'yum install xorg-x11-fonts*' but was unsure of the specific basic font needed.
I was not able to reproduce the font issue. It looks like these are provided by "Legacy X Window System compatibility":

xterm
Additionally, a recent change was made in subscription-manager that will gracefully allow the application to open if the session bus cannot be found on the system, so it is not a strict dependency.
Can we check this again and see if it is still an issue?
updated to latest rhsm:
subscription-manager-gnome-0.93.3-1.git.7.ee2f586.fc14.x86_64
subscription-manager-0.93.3-1.git.7.ee2f586.fc14.x86_64
The dbus issue looks fixed now.
I did the following to test the fonts:
yum remove xorg-x11-fonts*
yum groupremove "Legacy X Window System compatibility"
yum groupinstall "Legacy X Window System compatibility"
to bring myself back to a base install. This works for most all fonts.
Fonts for the password entry box when you register a system are still broken (however they do work now when you enter a password for the proxy configuration).
Also the icon for system compliance seems to be missing.
An advisory has been issued which should help the problem
described in this bug report. This report is therefore being
closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information
