** Description changed: [Impact] When running landscape-config, this prompt always defaults to Yes: "Request a new registration for this computer now? (Y/n):" The landscape-config command can be used to change configuration options in /etc/landscape/client.conf and should default to No when running this command on a computer that is already registered to a Landscape server and that server doesn't change during that run of landscape-config. [Test Case] When running landscape-config, this prompt always defaults to Yes: "Request a new registration for this computer now? (Y/n):" The landscape-config command can be used to change configuration options in /etc/landscape/client.conf and should default to No when running this command on a computer that is already registered to a Landscape server and that server doesn't change during that run of landscape-config. To reproduce: 1) Install landscape-client package on computer. 2) Run landscape-config to register client for the first time. 3) Run landscape-config again to change an option: sudo landscape-config --ping-interval=60 [Regression Potential] + Admins and scripts who relied on the old behavior might be surprised that a new registration is not requested anymore by default if the client is already registered, but I believe it's a welcomed change. It was even a sort of known issue in our FAQ (https://help.landscape.canonical.com/RunningScripts#Enabling%20script%20execution): + """ + /!\ Very important: when using this method [Ed: calling landscape-config], you MUST NOT request a new registration for the computer, as that will create a duplicate machine in your Landscape account! + """ [Other Info] * Upstream revision: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~landscape/landscape-client/trunk/revision/939 [Original Description] When running landscape-config, this prompt always defaults to Yes: "Request a new registration for this computer now?
