Everyone,
I am still in the low end of the learning curve with Centos 8, and keep getting warning messages to register with Red Hat. Is this a requirement for C8. I do not have a user ID with Red Hat; will they give a user ID for a Centos user.
"This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register."
Thanks,
Greg Ennis

It sounds like you have something installed that doesn't need to be or shouldn't be installed. Under what circumstances does that message appear? I haven't seen it on any of my C8 systems, so far at least.

Judging from https://forums.centos.org/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=74855 it looks like subscription manager. Judging from that thread, though removing it seems to remove some other things that you might want.
I'd google for more on removing subscription manager. I don't know what installs it.

I downloaded a Centos 8 image file :
CentOS-8.1.1911-x86_64-dvd1.iso
then I installed it as a kvm guest on a Centos 7 host machine.
I installed a lot of the software; gui and server to give it a test drive.
Nothing unusual about what I did that I can identify.

And the message came up when you.... what? What action do you take immediately prior to this message appearing?
The message appears on the desktop? Login screen? When you open a terminal window?
I have cleaned up a lot of stuff on my C8 machines that I don't need, but on my main computer (this one) "rpm -qa | grep subscription" gives me no output, so you might want to "dnf remove *subscription* and see what happens.

It appears every time I do a dnf update. I was trying to install kvm to see if I could put a guest inside of guest. I wanted to test kvm on Centos 8 before I put it into production.
I tried to remove subscription as above but decided to answer the question to the negative. What appears is below.

You could also just disable the yum subscription-manager plugin by setting enabled=0 in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf
The subscription-manager dnf plugin is disabled by default as part of our debranding in both CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream.

In addition to subscribing RHEL systems to RHSM or Satellite, subscription-manager is also used to subscribe CentOS systems to Foreman+Katello deployments.

You should be able to remove everything except for:
subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates-1.26.17-1.el8_2.x86_64 python3-subscription-manager-rhsm-1.26.17-1.el8_2.x86_64
if you want to keep the hard dependencies (virt-who, abrt-*). You can add --noautoremove to avoid removing much of the other stuff.

Hi,
I can't help with the question but if you want others to read your mail, don't hijack other threads to start a new conversation. Otherwise, if someone marks the thread as read, your new question is not seen.

oops, didn't mean to "hijack' it, just used the list address.
I'll re-post
