when I try to update my linux red hat, I get the following error message. I installed it once before on another pc, and didn't have this problem. How can I update my system without these annoying messages?
Thanks,
E-Rick
Error Message:
Service not enabled for system profile: "E-Rick"
Error Class Code: 31
Error Class Info:
This system does not have a valid entitlement for Red Hat Network.
Please visit ...
or login at ... and from the "Systems" tab,
select "System Entitlements" to enable RHN service for this system.
Explanation:
An error has occurred while processing your request. If this problem
persists please enter a bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com.
If you choose to submit the bug report, please be sure to include
details of what you were trying to do when this error occurred and
details on how to reproduce this problem.
RedHat sells RHN subscriptions. It's how they make money. Because you've got more than one system registered, and you only get one freebie, it is now complaining that your second system, which you apparently haven't paid for, isn't entitled. If you don't use your previous system on RHN anymore, login at http://rhn.redhat.com/ and swap your entitlements around, following exactly the instructions contained in the above error message.
