From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 Description of problem: The website is showing "System not checking in with RHN", it shows "Checked In: 2003-06-08 15:34:28 (GMT)". Yesterday, the RHN tray icon was showing a big blue circle with a tick. Shortly after booting my computer today, it changed to a red circle with an exclamation mark. It's found an update. My computer must have checked in to look for updates. Additional info: This has happenned before. Previously, right-clicking and choosing "check for updates" would fix the problem.
confirm that the account you are logging into the website with is the same that is listed in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid (search for 'username'). also confirm that rhnsd is running: /sbin/service rhnsd status if it is not running, execute: /sbin/service rhnsd start /sbin/chkconfig rhnsd on
Confirmed. The daemon is running, and my username matches.
It's working now..
It still works - BUT scheduled reboots don't.
I'm happy for this bug to be closed. Original problem fixed.
