[CentOS] Yum-updatesd not functioning
I have a couple of CentOS 5.1 boxes, mostly i386, but a couple x86_64, some real, some virtual. On all of them, I have yum-updatesd configured to emit via email to root. Here is a sample yum-updatesd.conf from one of them: [main] # how often to check for new updates (in seconds) run_interval = 14400 # how often to allow checking on request (in seconds) updaterefresh = 600 # how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog) emit_via = email email_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the real server FQDN is in the file) # should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for # new updates dbus_listener = yes # automatically install updates do_update = no # automatically download updates do_download = no # automatically download deps of updates do_download_deps = no None of the servers notified me of the batch of updates that came out this weekend. Running 'service yum-updatesd status' on each of them showed it as running, yet a 'yum update' showed the available updates. I tried running yum-updatesd manually on each, and after loading the plugins (installonlyn and priorities) it appears to hang or pause but no messages were generated either on console, /var/log/messages or email. Any idea what gives?

RE: [CentOS] FW: Memory Problem
Ah. You're not running the PAE kernel. Reboot the box, and bring up the grub menu. Choose the PAE kernel.

RE: [CentOS] Re: install issues
Are you trying to install the 64-bit or the 32-bit? While the install is running, some of the other virtual consoles display logs and error information. What do those show when the install rejects your disk? What result did you get trying from the HTTP install? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Warren Sent: Friday, January 25, 2008 11:37 AM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] Re: install issues it's a bit more complex..i had to manually enter the mirror information..but that's exceedingly minor..G.
