[opensuse-autoinstall] updating sles 10 during autoinstallation through a proxy
it seems that we have hit a couple of problems/questions regarding sles10 update through a proxy during autoinstallation. sles10 with sles10_root_fix_v0.4 applied was used; 1. autoinstallation profile has both <customer_center> and valid proxy set. unfortunately, an attempt to register at ncc during autoinstallation fails - it does not use proxy as configured in yast/autoyast. it seems that this proxy is not exported to profile early enough, as adding "export http_proxy=<valid proxy>" allows registering to proceed. that seems a bit hackish approach, so maybe there is another, better way to solve this issue ? 2. update itself requires another way of a proxy setting, "rug set proxy-url". is there a way to force rug to use a proxy specified in environment variable or maybe there is a separate setting in the profile available (though using the proxy set through yast/variables would be preferred :) ) -- Rich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

if I remember correctly, there was a bug in suse-register with proxies but an update was released. You should download that update RPM and put it on your installation server as an "add-on". That should fix the proxy problem with rug too. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug now playing NamNamBulu - Memories -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

thanks for the response. after some testing, here are latest results : after updating suse-register to version 1.0-63.21, upgrading/patching still is not possible during autoinstallation. this update fixed rug proxy (that is, removes the need to set it separately), but does not help with the other problem. during autoinstallation, suse_register attempts to register at ncc, but debug output shows that curl connection attempt times out. if updating is attempted after logging in the installed system it works. also, during post-install scripts, no proxy is used - this was tested with a simple wegt command to fecth an extrenal url. if valid http_proxy and ftp_proxy environment variables are exported before calling wget, the connection was successfully established throgh the proxy. is there anything else that could be tested ? -- Rich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
