ERRATA for debian or ubuntu Client
by Benoit Barriere 24 Mar '23

24 Mar '23

Hello, I am experimenting uyuni (2023.03) and i would like to know if official documentation exist concerning importing ERRATAs into UYUNI. In errata i mean USN and DSA bulletins regding Ubuntu and Debian. I have read in a changelog current 2022 that UYUNI can import all ubuntu erratas from a json database file provided by Ubuntu but how to do that ? no documentation is provided. Concerning Ubuntu i am refreshing my experience on spacewalk 2.10 using old scripts to parse announcements from Ubuntu and import into UYUNI by api and that's work correctly. For Debian scripts don't work and the debian patching look like not be easy if no DSAs exist in UYUNI. So if someone can help on this topic i will appreciate. Kinds regards, Benoit Barriere

IMPORTANT: Security Patch for Uyuni Server 2023.03
by Julio Gonzalez 22 Mar '23

22 Mar '23

Hello! The SUSE Customer support team detected a security problem that caused the password used for bootstrapping or virtual host manager configuration to be captured in clear text in the rhn_web_api.log A patch for Uyuni 2023.03 is now available, and we recommend you apply it as soon as possible, without waiting for the next release (that obviously will include it as well. You can apply the patch at the Uyuni Server by following the instructions at: https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/patches.html If you are still on 2023.01 or earlier, update first to 2023.03 normally (make sure you read the release notes, as special steps maybe required if you are not on 2023.03 already), and then apply the patch as explained above. Happy hacking! -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com

IMPORTANT: Patch for Uyuni Server 2023.03 and blank notification page for users with SCC accounts
by Julio Gonzalez 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Hello! Some users reported that after the update to Uyuni 2023.03, the notification page was completely blank [1] [2] If you are affected, you will see notifications on the bell icon at the WebUI, and you will still get e-mail notifications. But if you go to the notifications page, it will render completely blank, with no content at all or errors. Although this should only affect Uyuni users with SCC credentials added to the Setup Wizard and with SCC subscriptions expiring, a previous bug [3] can cause this same problem even for some users without SCC subscriptions if they got such notifications but never removed them. A patch for Uyuni 2022.03 is now available, in case you are affected, so you do not need to wait for the next Uyuni release. You can apply the patch at the Uyuni Server by following the instructions at: https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/patches.html If you are still on 2023.01 or earlier, update first to 2023.03 normally (make sure you read the release notes, as special steps may be required if you are not on 2023.03 already), and then apply the patch as explained above. Happy hacking!

Uyuni 2023.03 is released!
by Julio Gonzalez 02 Mar '23

02 Mar '23

VERY IMPORTANT: 2023.03 may require a special procedure if you are not upgrading from 2023.01 Make sure you read the release notes for all the versions between the one you are using now, and 2023.03! We are happy to announce the availability of Uyuni 2023.03. Most openSUSE mirrors should already have 2023.03, but if you do not see it yet, wait a few hours until your local openSUSE mirror is synced. At https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/stable-version.html you will find all the resources you need to start working with Uyuni 2023.03, including the release notes, documentation, requirements and setup instructions. This is the list of highlights for this release: - openSUSE Leap Micro 5.3 support as client - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Micro product migration - New products enabled - Monitoring: Grafana update to 8.5.15 - Syncing optional channels from from the WebUI - Subscription warning notifications will now happen weekly - Documentation: New look and feel - Salt 3000 End of Life - Debian 9 End of Life - 'spacewalk-clone-by-date' has been deprecated Remember that Uyuni follows a rolling release planning, so the next version will contain bugfixes for this one and any new features. There will be no maintenance of 2023.03. As always, we hope you will enjoy this new Uyuni version and we invite everyone of you to send us your feedback [1] and of course your patches, if you can contribute. Happy hacking!
