I am using spacewalk 2.6 on a CentOS7 machine. I am trying to kickstart machine from the spacewalk server. For troubleshooting purposes, i have * disabled SElinux * no iptabled/firewalld I have tried creating an installable tree during the syncing of channel/repo of a CentOS7. After the distribution is added in spacewalk, is set the installer generation to Red Hat Linux 7. I have also mounted an iso of a netinstall iso of SL, and copied its content to the spcewalk server to create a distribution in Spacewalk I create a kickstart in the GUI of spacewalk, all fine and well. When i kickstart a machine, it fails because it cannot find LiveOS/squashfs.img. The file is there on the server, but the httpd gives an 404. I tried to widen the permission on the LiveOS folder in the kickstart tree but no dice.

In my Spacewalk system I have configured CentOS 8 based and AppSteam repo with latest packages and added channel to my CentOS 8 server. it shows module_el8.1.0+229+cd132df8.noarch available to install. but this package name is different from what is installed on the servers. I like to understand what is this package with module_el8, How can I exclude this from my spacewalk repo. if I push the package from Spacewalk I get this message Client execution returned "Failed: Packages failed to install properly: Package perl-constant-0:1.33-1001.module_el8.1.0+229+cd132df8.noarch is not available for installation Package perl-Digest-MD5-0:2.55-397.module_el8.1.0+229+cd132df8.x86_64 is not available for installation Package perl-Exporter-0:5.72-1001.module_el8.1.0+229+cd132df8.noarch is not available for installation Package perl-File-Temp-0:0.230.600-2.module_el8.1.0+229+cd132df8.noarch is not available for installation Package perl-IO-Socket-IP-0:0.39-6.module_el8.1.0+229+cd132df8.noarch is not available for installation Package perl-libnet-0:3.11-4.module_el8.1.0+229+cd132df8.noarch is not available for installation Package perl-MIME-Base64-0:3.15-1001.module_el8.1.0+229+cd132df8.x86_64 is not available for installation Package perl-parent-1:0.237-2.module_el8.1.0+229+cd132df8.noarch is not available for installation Package perl-Pod-Escapes-1:1.07-396.module_el8.1.0+229+cd132df8.noarch is not available for installation Package perl-Pod-Perldoc-0:3.28-397.module_el8.1.0+" (code 32) Thanks

When I am trying to connect instance to Satellite Server it's failing. I tried to perform basic system updates and tried running yum clean all. However, I am getting following lines: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in yummain.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 300, in user_main errcode = main(args) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 115, in main base.getOptionsConfig(args) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 229, in getOptionsConfig self.conf File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 911, in conf = property(fget=lambda self: self._getConfig(), File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 363, in _getConfig self.plugins.run('init') File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/plugins.py", line 184, in run func(conduitcls(self, self.base, conf, **kwargs)) File "/usr/share/yum-plugins/ulninfo.py", line 23, in init_hook login_info = up2dateAuth.getLoginInfo(timeout=timeout) File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateAuth.py", line 219, in getLoginInfo login(timeout=timeout) File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateAuth.py", line 167, in login if readCachedLogin(): File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateAuth.py", line 133, in readCachedLogin expireTime = float(li['X-RHN-Auth-Expiration']) KeyError: 'X-RHN-Auth-Expiration' Can someone throw some light on this?

My Spacewalk is running on CentOS 7. We are managing the CentOS 7 server. Now I want to manage Centos 8 server also. When I create the channel it needs security GPG details. I am unsure what are GPG details for CentOS 8. How can I find this information for CentOS 8? Here is CentOS 7 info:

I am using Spacewalk release 2.9 to manage my CentOS Linux server. using below spacecmd command to push the new packages. I want to reboot the server once all the packages are installed on the machine. I am unsure how to monitor package upgrade and issue the reboot command. Any recommendations to achieve this? I would like to use Ansible playbook to do this reboot. spacecmd system_upgradepackage '*' -y Thanks SR

Client is stuck on RHEL Satellite Server 5.5 (Way EOL) and runs EPEL as a child channel. Long not updated. Other variables, Python 2.6, Redhat 6.9 But when trying to update the EPEL repo (spacewalk-repo-sync) it fails at the end with a gzip error (file not a gzipped file) The manifest for epel is bz2 (updateinfo.xml.bz2). (I edited the error handler in gzip.py to dump the file name). See references to it googling, but no clean solution or work around. (beside upgrading Satellite which is not an option right now). Any thoughts? A different repo that uses gzip perhaps? Just a little stuck here and wouldn't be surprised if I was being myopic. Works fine with IUS and Redhats standard channels. Thanks.

I'm trying to get spacewalk to work with our Centos 7 servers and am encountering the below error when i run 'yum update'. i have set the server up to use the spacewalk server and spacewalk can successfully see the status of the system including what packages are installed. >failed to retrieve repodata/repomd.xml from centos7 >error was [Errno 14] curl#51 - "Unable to communicate securely with peer: >requested domain name does not match the server's certificate." the spacewalk server is using https but that shouldn't be an issue as all the appropriate certificates have been installed. (i think) has anyone encountered this error before? i've tried updating nss completely as i read an outdated nss package can cause issues, but this did not resolve the issue. any suggestions would be great.

I'm trying to make my Satellite 5.7 server installation more secure. I'd like to turn off the function to run scripts from https://mysatserver/pub/upload/up without breaking Satellite. The dir looks like this -rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 index.html drwxrwxr-x. apache apache unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 up -rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 upload.php What I'd like to do is make sure that no scripts can be run under /up. My thoughts are: - Change selinux context type? - Is there any settings in the Apache config files that would turn this off?

Is it possible to control vps'es (which reside in an external network)with Spacewalk or can you only control local servers?

I've updated my Oracle Linux 6.4 server to Oracle Linux 6.8 which is registered to spacewalk server. But after update, yum commands are not working in server.

When I try to disable rhn-plugin, yum commands works, list packages on spacewalk but as you guess can't install them. Do you have any ideas about this situation? Thanks for any help!

Hi I am trying to configure spacewalk on a Centos 7 box for my organization. I am following this guide; https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall#installing-spacewalk I am having two issues when installing spacewalk-selinux-2.3.2-1.el7.noarch and osa-dispatcher-selinux-5.11.74-1.el7.noarch I get the errors: Installing : spacewalk-selinux-2.3.2-1.el7.noarch Failed to resolve roletype statement at /etc/selinux/mls/tmp/modules/400/spacewalk/cil:2 /usr/sbin/semodule: Failed!

I have also tried setting SeLinux to permissive but this didn't help. Does anyone know how to resolve these selinux errors? Thanks.

is it possible to install Spacewalk on RHEL 6.9? i only see community support on that. and if it is not, is it possible that centos server can be the repository and from there on distributed to other types of Linux ? ( RHEL/ SUSE?)

I'm having a little issue with yum. I'm trying to install a package but i realised yum it’s pulling it from the wrong repo (let’s call it repoB) (I have added my own repo(let’s call it repoA) in the yum.repo.d folder) when I look inside the yum.repo.d I do not see that repoB…? But when I run sudo yum repolist I can see that repoB listed. My question is, where is located this repoB ? How can I remove it ? Thanks!

I am trying to install spacewalk on CentOS 7 however i receive "Cannot locate RHN/DB.pm in @INC" error. It says compilation was aborted in spacewalk-setup line 33 which is "use RHN::DB ();". I tried installing RHN/DB with cpan however it gives me 404 error. What is RHN/DB ? It seems that it does not exist in google. What am I missing ? How do I install RHN/DB ?

Right now I'm just testing the process for some desktop machines I'll be managing so I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.04 LTS. We have a non-satellite spacewalk server that I'd like to have available for the main admins for these machines to use to manage these machines. I'm trying to follow [the install guide](https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/RegisteringClients) and I'm running into trouble getting the client to install. The guide says "All core clients packages are already in Debian and Ubuntu." and to run an update followed by an install of two packages. The update works without issue but the install fails. Given how simple the problem is, I'm almost positive it's operator error. I know nothing about Ubuntu (or Debian in general) so it's possible I'm just misinterpreting the guide somehow. Is there something analogous to a yum repo that I need to enable to get access?

I am trying to install spacewalk on centos 6.8 with the help of official documentation https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall . even after adding required repositories i am getting following errors No package spacewalk-setup-postgresql available. No package spacewalk-postgresql available.

Planning to use spacewalk for patch management on RHEL Linux servers built in amazon web services. Can someone clarify if it requires a direct subscription from RHEL for downloading packages from their repositories. The statement from below link made me ask this question. https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall Red Hat Optional Server (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) When using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 or 7, make sure you are subscribed to the appropriate Red Hat Optional Server channel: Red Hat Optional Server 6 , OR Red Hat Optional Server 7
