[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk not pushing packages.
Hi, First post. I've installed and setup Spacewalk on a CentOS 5.8 machine (all of my clients are CentOS 5.8 32 and 64 bit) I have configured Spacewalk to download various CentOS and other repositories and all the clients are registered with the server and have osad installed and running. Spacewalk shows that each client is registered and requires a various number of update packages but, apart from a job appearing in the Schedule Pending Actions when I send packages, nothing much happens. Eventually it fails. The other thing I don't understand is that unless I have .repo files under /etc/yum.repo.d/ for repositories which can supply the update packages, when I do yum update I get no results - despite Spacewalk telling me that there should be. Also, when I DO add .repo files under /etc/yum.repo.d/ that point to repositories which can supply the update packages the downloaded packages come from those external servers rather than the local Spacewalk server. I must have something configured incorrectly. Any pointers? Steve -- = Steven J.

Steven, What do you get for output when you do this on a client: Yum --verbose repolist ?

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk not pushing packages.
Steve -- I agree -- that looks fairly similar to what I have on typical clients. What if you do this on the client end: yum --verbose check-update ? And have you dug around in the rhn or httpd logs on either end?

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk not pushing packages.
Hi Robert, A note. /etc/yum.repos.d/ on the client does NOT contain .repo files referencing these Repos. Just ones that I couldn't figure how to get to work with Spacewalk (Adobe and a local RPM repo) I had a look at loads of log files. Which ones are the most relevant - I couldn't decide? yum --verbose check-update Loading rhnplugin plugin Loading fastestmirror plugin Loading priorities plugin Loading security plugin Config time: 0.046 Looking for repo options for [main] Looking for repo options for [centos5-base-x86_64] Repo 'centos5-base-x86_64' setting option 'enabled' = '1' Repo 'centos5-base-x86_64' setting option 'gpgcheck' = '0' Looking for repo options for [rpmforge-el5-x86_64] Repo 'rpmforge-el5-x86_64' setting option 'enabled' = '1' Repo 'rpmforge-el5-x86_64' setting option 'gpgcheck' = '0' Looking for repo options for [spacewalk-client-el5-x86_64] Repo 'spacewalk-client-el5-x86_64' setting option 'enabled' = '1' Repo 'spacewalk-client-el5-x86_64' setting option 'gpgcheck' = '0' Looking for repo options for [centos5-extras-x86_64] Repo 'centos5-extras-x86_64' setting option 'enabled' = '1' Repo 'centos5-extras-x86_64' setting option 'gpgcheck' = '0' Looking for repo options for [centos5-updates-x86_64] Repo 'centos5-updates-x86_64' setting option 'enabled' = '1' Repo 'centos5-updates-x86_64' setting option 'gpgcheck' = '0' Yum Version: 3.2.22 Setting up Package Sacks Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile centos5-base-x86_64 | 871 B 00:00 centos5-extras-x86_64 | 871 B 00:00 centos5-updates-x86_64 | 871 B 00:00 rpmforge-el5-x86_64 | 871 B 00:00 spacewalk-client-el5-x86_64 | 871 B 00:00 Skipping security plugin, no data pkgsack time: 0.284 rpmdb time: 0.000 Building updates object up:Obs Init time: 0.407 up:simple updates time: 0.083 up:obs time: 0.003 up:condense time: 0.000 updates time: 1.629 Steve On 17/10/12 16:57, Boyd, Robert wrote: yum --verbose check-update -- = Steven J.
