[Spacewalk-list] Problems with registering Ubuntu clients to spacewalk-server

[Nick Tailor]

Not 100% sure…

I was trying to get spacewalk and debian to work.

If ripple through previous threads. I have quite a few posts on problems I ran into. One of them being the rhncfg packages are not with rhn-client-tools and you need those packages to do remote command execution and to run scripts.

That needs to be installed from source.

To date I don’t believe anyone has successfully got debian or Ubuntu to work 100% with spacewalk.

Lot of issues you gotta work through.

Good luck.

Do you know, if this fixes also the error related to the package-installing (uninstalling packages like rhnsd during a scheduled update)?

If you google that error, there is patch for it.

I get the following output and the only error I can see is, that he is “unable to open the timestamp file”:
D: do_call packages.checkNeedUpdate(‘rhnsd=1′,){}
D: local action status: (0, ‘unable to open the timestamp file’, {})
D: rpcServer: Calling XMLRPC registration.welcome_message
This appears, when I run rhn_check -vvvv after I scheduled an update for the server.

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to get an automated-paching-system running. I installed spacewalk to a centOS-server according to the official documentation. I installed an ubuntu-client and followed the following manual: http://www.devops-blog.net/spacewalk/registering-ubuntu-and-debian-servers-with-spacewalk

Spacewalk now recognizes the server and shows me, it needs updates. I schedule the updates, but the client won't pull the commands (even if the interval is set to 70 - after 70 minutes). I then run a manual rhn-check and it does nothing, only the error-message appears on the spacewalk-GUI:

Client execution returned "update failed" (code 1)

Does anyone know, what does this means?

Second problem is, that when I schedule a package-installation via the spacewalk-WebGUI and run a rhn_check, a long list of packages including rhnsd apt-transport-spacewalk rhn-client-tools will be uninstalled. Does anyone know this problem and maybe has a solution for it?



BR,

Willi Hennrichs
