Hi Phil, I think the list stripped off the actual patch file, any chance you could re-send it please ? I'd certainly be very interested to try it and also try to understand why this has happened, that way I can raise a bug for it and suggest your patch (assuming you've not done that already). thanks, Matt From: spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com [spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com] on behalf of Philip Rhodes [rho...@me.com] Sent: 15 June 2011 22:12 To: spacewalk-list@redhat.com Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Random Oracle Error Spacewalk 1.4 centos 5.6 x86_64 Michael, Matt, I believe this patch fixed my problem as well.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Server not seeing updates available for clients
Ok. This happened after I updated from 1.0 to 1.1 and my intent is to update all the way to 1.4, I just thought I had to upgrade the clients at the same time as the server. I'll just update the server and clients together manually through to 1.4 and see how that goes. Thanks!

[Spacewalk-list] How To ...
OK, I'm a newbie at this Spacewalk thing (however, we do use Satellite at work). What's happened is that while setting up and populating my channels I've run out of space on Oracle XE. From what I've seen and read I've got the following options: Migrate from Oracle XE to standard Oracle (which I have running on another machine) - does the Oracle instance have to be local? Stop and drop everything and use Spacewalk PostgreSQL - what do I stand to loose with this? Stop and drop everything and use Spacewalk Oracle on the machine where Oracle is already running - this is a POC environment (no maintenance, no support) Cut back on the number of channels (currently, CentOS 5.6 i386/x86_64; Fedora 13 i386/x86_64; Fedora 14 i386/x86_64; Fedora 15 i386/x86_64)? Go back to using Satellite and add the CentOS and Fedora channels - Will Satellite go crazy if I add those? Help!!!

I think you do not need to think about this ones since 2 options above are much better. 5. Go back to using Satellite and add the CentOS and Fedora channels - Will Satellite go crazy if I add those?

[Spacewalk-list] RHEL channel sync
Hi ALL, I know we can't sync RHEL environment through Spacewalk, but I've found rhn-clone-errata.py and rhn_channel_download.pl scripts. Both of them have problems during the downloading (it can download first 20 rpms only). Do we really have a workable solution for upgrading our RHEL staff? As far as I understand, we can detach a specific server downloads all RHEL rpms through channel update and keeps local repo for Spacewalk. I don't have success during downloading. Does anyone know how we can cope with it? Kind regards, Ivan ___ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
