[Spacewalk-list] spacewalk cobbler issue

[Johnny Mirza]

Thanks Jeremy,

when you mean at the beginning of the %post, I can't figure out how to do that via the spacealk gui.
I can manually edit the kickstart file in /var/lib/cobbler... but it gets overwritten everytime a change is made to the profile.

Any help would be great..

Thanks again

We had the same problem with a proxy and the CentOS mirrors.  At the beginning of our %post section we put in this sed statement:

sed -i 's/^\[\([^]]*\)\]/[\1]\nenabled=0/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*

Good luck,

Jeremy

Thanks Jeffrey, I didn't' think to look there.

But I think I found the issue and I am hoping someone has a simple solution.
It looks like the 10 min delay at the post section is because yum is trying to access the Centos default mirrors (created in the /etc/yum.repos.d/* directory as part of yum). Access will not be allowed because the server is behind a proxy.

Do you have any idea how to disable this?

thanks
