Hi, I''m gettinng a dependency cycle when using PE 2.7, puppetlabs::mrepo, "role classes" and hiera : I''m trying to mirror RHN repos : # ROLE CLASS > class site::yum_repository{ > > $repos = hiera(''site::yum_repository::repos'') > create_resources(mrepo::repo::rhn, $repos) > } > # HIERA DEFAULTS >

Which is better? Why? I know yum is the official update mechanism here and in Fedora Core, but that doesn't make yum better than up2date any more than Windows NT was better than OS/2. Let's try to keep the discussion objective:-) I'm asking, hoping for some insights into why RH might (apparently) be moving to yum in preference to up2date (yum is now used within Anaconda). Other

CentOS3.9 Users: After applying all Updates to Upgrade from CentOS 3.8 CentOS 3.9 I find up2date no longer works "correctly" (or shall I say NOT as before)... Missing is the "sources" File!!! Is this how V 4.5.5-7 is supposed to be or is the "sources" File omission an "error"??? Lawrence Houston -- (centos at greenfield.dyndns.org)

i updated to the latest up2date rpm.... then when updating to the latest kernel this is what happened after i ran up2date -fu for the kernel/kernel-source updates Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies...

Hi all, i have a problem with centos's up2date tool. I have setup a central update server with yam (http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/yam/) under CentOS-4. When yam calls t up2date to download updates, up2date returns this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yam", line 1099, in ? main() File "/usr/bin/yam", line 983, in main

I work for a small company, and we're running CentOS on our servers. We are looking to possibly move our most critical servers to RHEL. We currently use apt to deploy software upgrades to our servers. I have a question about RHEL subscriptions that they don't seem to be able to answer for me. If you have an RHEL subscription, do you have access to manually download the RPMs? We

Centos 4 i386 [root at fiftyeight ~]# up2date -u lynx There was a fatal error communicating with the server.

I''m running puppet 0.24.6 on CentOS 5.2 from a puppetmaster on a virtual server to a variety of client servers both virtual and metal running either CentOS 5.2 or Fedora Core 10. I want to extend this to servers running RHEL 5 (and 6) in the near future. My problem is I have puppet set up with all repositories (mirrored locally using cobbler) included in one file in

I am continually getting the subscription alert panel popping up??? I leave the selection on the default which is to activate and say OK. It asks me for the root password - I enter it. It keeps coming back... I have network connectivity for the laptop. Any ideas? I saw nothing in /var/log/messages.

The following error appeared and I'm wondering if it's important enough to file a bug report: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.8817: line 2: gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders: command not found error: %postun(librsvg2-2.2.3-2) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 Also /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn-applet.rpmnew got created; the difference is that the uuid has changed from a hex key to "UNSPECIFIED".

Hi all. I have a simple question: CentOS relies mostly on "yum" to keep systems up to date, although I understand that like on RHEL, "up2date" is also available. On my system I've run both KDE and GNOME as Graphical Desktops under X (though I presently run GNOME), and I've noticed that there is an applet called "CentOS Network Alert Icon" (from the

Hi, I haven't used my system in a while now and wanted to update R. Running yum update R fails because of missing dependency texinfo-tex I have installed the EPEL yum repo configurations but yum install texinfo-tex does not find the package. How can I install that missing package? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. -Christos ## =========================================== [root at localhost

The CentOS drive for the HP NC4010 is built. I just needed to use external instead of USB power for my USB CDrom. Go figure... I did this in my hotel room, where they only have wireless. I went down to the 'business center' and used an ethernet drop, but I don't think the registration worked. I didn't know that even for the ehternet drops you have to do that portal thing

For guests registered with Red Hat Network, this patch allows for the conversion process to use RHN to download appropriate kernel package and its dependencies. We use yum on RHEL-5, up2date libraries on RHEL-4. We install matching kernel version whenever possible, latest available kernel version otherwise. _discover_kernel routine has been extended to return version-release of the default

Hey All, I''m running into a problem whereby some nodes are struggling to retrieve the metadata for files. I''ve moved all the nodes across to 0.25.1 to try and eliminate version inconsistencies though they still appear. I''ve also started using asynchronous stored configs as well. I''m wondering if this has anything to do with performance on the box and if there

CentOS uses the yum dependency solver for doing updates and not the RHN (normal) up2date mechanism. That is functionality built into up2date. Due to this difference, there is a problem with the Seamonkey upgrade to replace Mozilla using up2date on CentOS-4, because it does not see Seamonkey as obsoleting Mozilla. (This is a problem with the yum depsolver that is included in up2date). Due to

I have a RHEL system and I'm thinking of changing to CentOW. How can this be done most easily. It is important that the e-mail setup not be disturbed, since it was crafted to work with an IP that requires authentication. Thanks, -- John J.
