Hi List, i need to sync a HPE Foundation Repo into my CLM: https://update1.linux.hpe.com/repo/hpe-foundation/2.4.3/Suse/SLES15-SP3/ Unfortunately it seems to have yast structure: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Standards_YaST2_Repository_Metadata#Reposi… How can I mirror it into uyuni? Configuring it as yum type repo produces this error when trying to sync: *# spacewalk-repo-sync --type yum --channel hpe-foundation-workaround* 16:52:20 ====================================== 16:52:20 | Channel: hpe-foundation-workaround 16:52:20 ====================================== 16:52:20 Sync of channel started.

We really need a well-documented and support way to progress from one version to another, without jumping straight to the current version, for those who get behind. I know there used to be an archive of each version out there that one could manually point to for accomplishing this. Does that still exist? -- Allen Beddingfield Systems Engineer Office of Information Technology The University of Alabama Office 205-348-2251 allen(a)ua.edu ________________________________ From: Julio Gonzalez via Uyuni Users Sent: Monday, June 27, 2022 8:41 AM To: General discussion related to the openSUSE Uyuni project; Simon Avery Cc: Julio Gonzalez Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Uyuni 2022.06 is released! Needless to say, you should not leave Uyuni without updates for a year, so ideally everyone should be already on 2022.05 or, at least, something newer than 2021.06 :-) If someone is on 2021.05 or earlier, updating could work, but it's not supported.

Problem setting up an Uyuni Proxy
by Paul-Andre Panon 17 Jun '22

17 Jun '22

I'm trying to set up an Uyuni proxy (using the proxy pattern) . It's a bit of an unusual configuration: 1. Uyuni server is a different domain 2. Have network connectivity but not DNS resolution 3. Application level firewall in between to networks 4. Certificates are signed by a separate internal Intermediate [+root] CA The networks will eventually get more integrated, but to get around 1 & 2, the proxy is in the server's host file, and the server and internal CA are in the proxy's host file. This seems to work well enough to get the proxy system registered as a minion/client with the Uyuni server. However, once I've created the cert for the proxy, when trying to run configure-proxy.sh, we get Requesting certificate from server. [1/20] ... Requesting certificate from server. [20/20] Certificate not received from server. Exit. /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid:1: parser error : Document is empty ^ unable to parse /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid SUSE Manager Parent [Uyuni_server.FQDNl]: Using CA Chain (from /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date): /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT HTTP Proxy []: Traceback email []: <removed spammer bait> You will now need to either generate or import an SSL certificate. This SSL certificate will allow client systems to connect to this Uyuni Proxy securely. Refer to the Uyuni Proxy Installation Guide for more information. Do you want to import existing certificates?

Installation interrupted. WARNING: upon deactivation attempt: unknown error - <Fault -12: 'redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcFault: method invalid param'> There were some answers you had to enter manually. Would you like to have written those into file formatted as answers file? [Y/n]: y Writing proxy-answers.txt.u4qp3 I'm hoping the first few errors aren't too much of an issue. I'm not sure what I would have missed, step wise, to lead to the SUSE Manager Proxy entitlement errors. I didn't find anything obvious through a google search for those errors. The CA certs have been installed on the proxy, so if I try to use wget to fetch a file from the pub folder on the Uyuni server, it has no apparent problems with cert verification. I appreciate any suggestions or pointers you can offer. Thanks, Paul-Andre Panon

Uyuni support for Ubuntu 22.04?
by Paul-Andre Panon 13 Jun '22

13 Jun '22

Hi, Any idea when we can expect Uyuni client packages for Ubuntu 22.04? Has there been sufficiently few changes to the apt interfaces that the Ubuntu 20.04 packages can still be used? Thanks, Paul-Andre
