Description of problem: I tried to subscribe a contract using firstboot SCM but exception occurred. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): subscription-manager-firstboot-0.95.8-1.el6.i686 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run firstboot 2. Register system using Entitlement 3. Subscribe to a contract Actual results: Exception reported. Expected results: Success! Additional info:
Created attachment 495395 [details] Exception occurred
Additional info: I hit this exception when selecting auto-subscribe upon registration. Once this exception occurred, firstboot does not showup due to failure of loading scm(site package) until 'subsctiption-manager clean all' is executed.
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Hello, I've hit this bug too on RHEL6.1 RC1 i386 Client.
Anyone got a save traceback from this?
Created attachment 496808 [details] firstboot traceback Traceback attached. This should be same issue like pholica hit. So this wasn't not exceptional case, I was able to reproduce exactly it as well.
Just a impact clarification. Whole firstboot crashes due to this traceback, additionally same traceback occurs right after every other start of firstboot (once this traceback occurs, first window user can see right after every reboot is this traceback).
What is "approriate variant" in this case? Which product is selected to subscribe too? One of the tracebacks shows "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation, Standard", any others... "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server, Premium (8 sockets)..." seems to work for me.
Works for me with the product "1.3.6.1.4.1.2312.9.1.69.1: .!Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server" what product certs are installed on these machines?
One of the tracebacks looks like an i686 machine, what arch'es are those seeing failures seeing them on?
Works for me when subscribing through one of two contracts using firstboot as described in comment #0 with credentials for qa pointing to the production env. My client is an x86_64 Server on a KVM guest. [root@jsefler-onprem-6server ~]# rpm -qa | grep subscription-manager subscription-manager-0.95.9-1.el6.x86_64 subscription-manager-gnome-0.95.9-1.el6.x86_64 subscription-manager-firstboot-0.95.9-1.el6.x86_64
The fix for this looks to be the same as the fix for 696020, which is in the 0day branch already. We need to cherry-pick dbc4cc51a1747939391b237d05e15b0715bfc53c to the RHEL6-RC branch. commit dbc4cc51a1747939391b237d05e15b0715bfc53c Author: Adrian Likins <alikins> Date: Fri Apr 15 13:51:47 2011 -0400 696020: on x86, serial numbers do not like to be long's Trying to pass a way longer than 4byte 'long' into gtk tree view label was throwing errors, so just use it as a string and cast. Also, the method we were using to detect if we were registered wasn't working if no admin api calls were made, so just check for existence of consumer id.
