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 2 stuart hill 2012-07-19 17:23:45 UTC 
yum redhat login not complete.
Comment 3 stuart hill 2012-07-20 11:33:34 UTC 
Solution: yum repository not included.
Comment 4 James Antill 2012-08-02 21:19:39 UTC 
 The group "X-WINDOWS-SYSTEM" isn't in my RHEL-6 repos. that I can see. Can you give "yum group info -v" output for it etc. Also actual yum output for what you are seeing on install would help a lot.

 I maybe know of the UI bug you might be hitting ... but I'm far from sure.
Comment 7 James Antill 2013-04-09 21:45:19 UTC 
Still need info.
Comment 8 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-14 04:52:48 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 9 Valentina Mukhamedzhanova 2014-12-15 14:01:28 UTC 
As there seems to be no new information on this bug, I'm closing it.
