IMPORTANT: Patch for Uyuni Server 2022.10
by Julio Gonzalez 24 Oct '22

24 Oct '22

Hello! Several users at Gitter have reported that after the Update to Uyuni 2022.10, and after applying the patch from last week, that the cobbler package fails to update, or that the cobbler service is not starting at the Uyuni Server. In such situations some features can be broken, such as: - Onboarding new clients - Removing existing clients - XML-RPC via HTTP - spacecmd - spacewalk-common-channels The problem was causes because of bugs at migration scripts for cobbler itself. Such bugs are only happening for long time Uyuni users where the cobbler configuration is old enough, so most users should not notice this problem. If you are affected, you will see the following error while installing the cobbler package: > schema.SchemaError: Key 'proxy_url_ext' error: > None should be instance of 'str' Or the following error at the logs, when starting cobbler: > cobblerd[32057]: schema.SchemaError: Key 'allow_duplicate_hostnames' error: > cobblerd[32057]: 0 should be instance of 'bool' The fix is at the SR: https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/systemsmanagement:Uyuni:Master/cob… (an OBS account is required to see the diff) A patch for Uyuni 2022.10 to fix both problems was just published, in case you are affected, and so you do not need to wait for Uyuni 2022.11 (this version will also include this fix) You can apply the patch at the Uyuni Server by following the instructions at: https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/patches.html Thank to all users that reported the issue, and helped with the debugging Happy hacking! -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com
