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 Adrian Likins 2011-01-21 18:48:00 UTC
Description of problem:

Try to view all available subscriptions on a system that can't authenticate
properly, get 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/rhsm/async.py", line 48, in _watch_thread
    callback(error=error)
  File "/usr/share/rhsm/gui/allsubs.py", line 176, in _update_display
    _("Unable to search for subscriptions"))
  File "/usr/share/rhsm/gui/utils.py", line 55, in handle_gui_exception
    errorWindow(msg % linkify(e.msg))
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting


Steps to Reproduce:

Easiest way seems to be to use an invalid id cert. Either from an old
registrations, or from an old candlepin instance. 

Do that, then go to "all subscriptions", and hit "update"

Actual results:


Expected results:
Nice error message about the 401 and that my auth is bad

Comment 2 Justin Harris 2011-01-24 16:01:25 UTC
This is fixed in the BETA branch, but Devan mentioned overhauling this whole linkify business.  We should be sure to test this scenario again after his refactor is in.

Comment 5 spandey 2011-02-28 13:37:58 UTC
Verified using following setup 

Candlepin : Latest on-premises 
client : Rhel6 with following rpm version 

[root@finalbeta2 ~]# rpm -qa | grep subscription
subscription-manager-gnome-0.95.2-1.el6.x86_64
subscription-manager-0.95.2-1.el6.x86_64
subscription-manager-firstboot-0.95.2-1.el6.x86_64


Working fine 
Changing defect status from ON_QA to verified
