Re: [Spacewalk-list] Support for Fedora 18 clients using Spacewalk 1.8?

2013-01-24 Thread Jon Miller
I had tried the separate child channel before but what I forgot to do was go back to the "Operating System" section of my kickstart profile and select the child channel. I just saw a kickstart kickoff without complaining about the missing packages. Hurrah! Hopefully others can learn from my experie

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Support for Fedora 18 clients using Spacewalk 1.8?

2013-01-24 Thread Jonathan DeHaan
You are correct, using the repodata from the DVD will prevent you from adding packages to the base channel and installing them with Anaconda. Your options are either to add the packages to a child channel, and include that child channel in the kickstart (not activation keys), or to generate new

(As I inch closer to a solution, I'll keep replying here... tell me if I should stop) My current theory, as to why I can't seem to pull down "rhnlib" and "spacewalk-koan" from my Spacewalk channel is that my distribution's repodata/ was created from the original FC18 DVD which wouldn't have those t

Well the first thing is have you tested running a nested kvm instances, last I looked it was only possible on AMD CPU's but I may be wrong. I would try to put the visualization activation key on the VM if that works you might be able to do it but I've never tested it. If not then you can try manual

2013-01-24 Thread Jon Miller
Okay, next test... trying to simplify my question / issue by taking kickstart out of the equation. I believe the real question is why are the packages I uploaded via "rhnpush" not available to my client? This time around, I kickstarted a machine and it was setup with the normal Fedora repos availab

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Ranking of Configuration Channels with Activation Keys

2013-01-24 Thread Mullis, Josh (CCI-Atlanta)
Greg, We had a similar issue and overcame the ranking issue by using a "backend" script to handle it for us using the API. This script sits on the spacewalk server and determines what config channels a system should be assigned to. This keeps the ranking the way we want it in case of human error

I am in the process of setting up a test environment for spacewalk and other things. One thing i want to try out is the provisioning of virtual machines with spacewalk/cobbler. My system is capable of running KVM in 'nested' mode, so kvm inside of kvm is possible and working. Spacewalk however trea

Hello, I've done some more research. The same exception occurs when you want to search errata by issue date (without putting any keywords in the "Search For" field). In fact, it fails when, on postgresql, any of the two queries defined in file errata_handler.xml. I think that the following part of

[Spacewalk-list] system.listSystemEvents - Spacewalk 1.8

Hi All, I've got some perl code to return system events which uses system.listSystemEvents API call (segment and Dumper response attached as perl.txt). I have run the same package install 4 times today (after downgrading on the recipient box itself) and the GUI recognises this and returns the
