doing a null install, current in firstboot - machine rhn_registered fine and is now popping up a dialog saying that "these packages are marked to be skipped by your configuration - if you wanna override, select them". It's 5 kernel packages, but whether they're all selected or deselected or any combination, the dialog's "Forward" button continues to be grayed out! Hence, I'm stuck (AFAICT) and can't complete this step without canceling out.
This may be a hint - since I couldn't click Forward, I clicked on the "View Advisory" button - the cursor went to the watch symbol (so it's trying to execute something) but nothing else has happened - no other dialog popping up or anything. Note that this is the same machine with the High firewall setting, which may be causing this kind of symptom (although since all of RHN is tcp/443 traffic, I don't see how)
The Cancel button still worked (even though the cursor was still in the "watch" state) so I was able to at least complete firstboot (although that RHN thing would have died in the middle). I'll attach up2date logs in case helpful stuff got logged
same behavior seen after firstboot, so changing component also, when "view advisory" is clicked and "hangs", there's a traceback. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py", line 934, in showAdvisory advisories = rhnErrata.getAdvisoryInfo(rowData[1]) TypeError: unsubscriptable object However, the "main bug" here is that the Forward button is grayed out and I can't continue.
now THIS is interesting - start up2date - go forward to this screen (can't go forward any more) - go back to the "welcome to" - takes about 7 or 8 back clicks through all the RHN setup stuff formerly of rhn_register - no filling out anything (everything's empty), just keep going back - go forward again to this screen - NOW the Forward button is active, and the Back is grayed out! - now going forward and continuing to install updates works great! - NOTE: during download (yes, oddly enough) the terminal output happens of: warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 897da07a although this only happened once (not once for each of the 5 kernel packages) I remember this getting tagged by jbj as NOTABUG (I think? - this true, Jeff?), but anything that says "warning" is going to scare people when it's important stuff like package updates (I got scared, even, of course :) adding daryll to cc since he saw this behavior as well (well, the Forward not active the first time around). Daryll - can you confirm that the above "works" for you to get the button active and allow pkg updates?
Yep, going all the way and then forward does allow the packages to be installed. Also I get the following errors while backing up: TypeError: hide() takes no arguments (1 given) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py", line 655, in onProfilePageBack if self.alreadyRegistered: AttributeError: Gui instance has no attribute 'alreadyRegistered'
the #SUBJECT of this bug is fixed in 2.9.49 also, dup of #72116 the header/nokey stuff deserves a second bug (it's currently being worked on, but a bug report wouldnt hurt) also, the errata advisory sub thread is a dup of #72120 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 72116 ***
