[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Python Version for Ansible
Hello, I am currently looking to setup Ansible access to the Juniper devices in my environment. One of the prereqs of this to have to python 3.5 or later installed on your Ansible control node (mine being Spacewalk), but the current python version on my Spacewalk instance is 2.75. How would this upgrade of python versions affect my current Spacewalk version? Does anyone have any experience with this? I wanted to gather more information before considering upgrading the version.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] jpackage for centos 7
Hi Michael, I guess I should clarify my question, I do have the osquery package already installed on my system, but I am looking for a valid repository URL in which spacewalk can check and sync packages from on a nightly (or however frequent) basis. Do you know of any links containing osquery packages? I tried using this as the repository URL (https://pkg.osquery.io/rpm/osquery-s3-rpm.repo), but the syncing does not work. Error below.

You'll want to check your channel sync scripts to make sure spacewalk-repo-sync is called using the --latest/-n flag (at least for the channels that fill up your disk space) so that Spacewalk doesn't redownload all the old packages you removed.

Hi all, I am trying to delete old packages in Spacewalk, as well as remove packages that aren’t currently associated with a channel, and am using the spacewalk-remove-old-packages.py. The script works fine, and packages/space are cleared upon completion of the script, but space fills right back up the night after the script is ran.

This didn’t use to happen before maybe 2 months ago, and nothing has changed I believe in my environment to warrant this change; the script was ran and space would not fill out the night after.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Kickstart File - Increase Root Partition Size
Hello, Coming back to this, I had a few questions. I am trying to explicitly define the partitions now in my kickstart, creating these mount points (/boot, /, /home, and swap). I want to ensure I use LVM for all but the /boot partition, and give / 20GB of space. I have referenced the link in the below chain for kickstarts, as well as Stefan’s custom partition table. The file system type on our other systems are xfs, so I am following in that same way. Does every LVM need to have a vg name specified? Why do I need to define a volgroup? Does this look correct below? part /boot --fstype=xfs --size=1000 volgroup vg vg_main --pesize=4096 logvol / --fstype=xfs --name=lv_root --vgname=vgroot --size=2 logvol /home --fstype=xfs --name=lv_home --vgname=vghome --size=1000 logvol swap --name=lv_swap --vgname=vgswap --size=1000 Regards, Sulove From: Sulove Khanal Date: Friday, May 15, 2020 at 9:39 AM To: Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Kickstart File - Increase Root Partition Size Thank you all!

And put -firefox* in the filters box and clicked update repository.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Permanently remove package from subscribed channel
Where on the WebUI am I able to block these packages? The only thing I see is to delete a package within a channel, which will reappear the next time it syncs. (Manage software channels ---> click on # of packages in channel, search for package in question, click remove.)
