[Spacewalk-list] Need help with registration problems.

Thu Jan 31 17:16:55 UTC 2013

Hi Jon,

That won't work (or didn't/doesn't for me);
even if I had (and I still have) the Spacewalk Channel included in the Kickstart Profile.

I resorted to creating a small tar for each of my distros with the current Spacewalk RPMs (and needed extras i.e. for CentOS, python-hwdata anyone?) placing it in the Spacewalk-Servers www/pub directory and using a Post-Script to get and install it.

Then rerun the $SNIPPET('spacewalk/redhat_register') snippet, and you should be fine...

Best
-Jonathan

I've seen a similar error during some of my initial kickstarts. The error that sticks out to me is your:
   /tmp/ks-script-QpNRzX: line 207: rhnreg_ks: command not found
   /tmp/ks-script-QpNRzX: line 213: rhn_check: command not found

What I did was explicitly include "rhn-setup" and "rhn-check" in my packages list for my kickstart profile. Try including those packages and see if your registration works.

Can anyone help me. I'm new to spacewalk and a little bit stuck..

I have installed spacewalk1.8-postgres on a f17 box. I have repo-sync'ed
channels for fedora 16 & 17, as well as CentOS 5 & 6. (all x86_64).

My first attempts at installing have been to try to install a bare bones
(just @Base) fedora 16 client. I would like to get this sparse install
working first and then clone the kickstart file, adding things to it.

My kickstart file has Management Configuration and Remote Commands set true,
partitioning scheme, etc and one activation key. The key has one group
assocation, one config channel association and these child channels:
fedora16-x86_64-updates
spacewalk18-client-fedora16-x86_64
which were created by the 'spacewalk-common-channels' script.
There are no child channels on the ks file itself, just on the key.

The problem I have is the registration fails. Looking at the tail of
/root/ks-rhn-post.log, What I see is:

    http://deuterium/download/package/2cd4abbd1443e59467c0b51f1076cb5072591aab/0/1/81511/rhnlib-2.5.55-1.fc16.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs --replacefiles /tmp/rhn_rpms/optional/pyOpenSSL* /tmp/rhn_rpms/optional/rhnlib* /tmp/rhn_rpms/optional/libxml2-python*

Which really throws me. libxml2-2.7.8-8.fc16.x86_64 is in
fedora16-x86_64-updates, but is not installed. rhnlib-2.5.55-1.fc16.noarch.rpm
appears to come from fedora16-x86_64-updates just fine. Why not libxml2-2.7..8-8.fc16.x86_64?

Can I influence the 'wget' somehow and include libxml2-2.7.8-8? I tried adding it to the
only key with no luck. If I add it to the file itself, the install stops and tells me the
package does not exist.

What am I missing here? Is there something I should have read, but didn't?
