Mender Configure device settings not reported in initial inventory submission

Hi,

I’m experiencing an issue where, after device authentication, the device settings for Mender Configure are not reported during the initial inventory submission.

In the script located at /usr/share/mender/inventory/mender-inventory-mender-configure, I encounter the error:

“An authentication token could not be obtained over DBus.”

This indicates that the token is not being passed via DBus. Subsequently, re-authentication occurs, and the settings are sent in the next inventory submission.

Expected Behavior

After device authentication, the device settings for Mender Configure should be reported in the initial inventory submission.

Has anyone else faced this issue or can provide insights on how to resolve it?

Thank you!

Hey @nomtor0204, this appears to be a bug in mender-configure. I have created a ticket for it, MEN-7732. Since this is a rather low-impact bug, I can’t say when this will be picked up though. It should be a relatively easy bug to fix for someone with a little shell-script and DBus experience, if anyone wants to submit a contribution.
