I run the dnf update and yum update commands and getting this message on my RHEL 8 server:

This system is registered with an entitlement server, but is not receiving updates. You can use subscription-manager to assign subscriptions.

How do I fix this? I am pretty sure my subscription is not expiered. Any ideas?

Hey guys,

Sorry about the post. I ran

subscription-manager status

It now says:

+-------------------------------------------+
   System Status Details
+-------------------------------------------+
Overall Status: Invalid

Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86_64:
- Not supported by a valid subscription.

Red Hat CodeReady Linux Builder for x86_64:
- Not supported by a valid subscription.

System Purpose Status: Not Specified

I also did:

subscription-manager list

I will now check RHN portal. I guess our subscription is expired.

I finally fixed it. These are the commands if anyone needs them:

sudo -i
subscription-manager remove --all
subscription-manager unregister
subscription-manager clean
dnf clean all
rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*
subscription-manager register
subscription-manager attach --auto

Now when I do

subscription-manager list

I get the confirmation:

Great steps femboi (lol)! Thanks!

If anyone is to follow remember to check if your Redhat account is also has a activated subscription. In order to check just follow these steps:

  • Go to the redhat website. (access.redhat.com)
  • Go to subscriptions on top.
  • Scroll down to the Subscriptions Inventory. (underlined link)
  • Under Subscriptions Usage it will prompt you to easily activate your free subscription. (I assume for non-commercial deploys)
  • If it shows your dashboard then you have a subscription active!

If you have any suggestions on how to improve my answers please tell me! Hope this helps someone. :wink:
