Stefan, could you please open an issue for the plugin bug and assign me to it.
The issue should be fixed to the next release.

Thank you Victor.

I seem to have searched wrong when I couldn't find the file. The installed location on CentOS 7 is actually pretty neutral:

# find /usr -name susemanagerplugin.py
/usr/share/yum-plugins/susemanagerplugin.py

Ok, will look out for it/have a closer look. I accepted the key last night and this morning, nothing was on.

Best wishes,

Stefan

Betreff: Re: Registering CentOS 7 client - Question and salt state error

Hi Stefan.

mgrchannels_susemanagerplugin_dnf is failing as it's detecting python version wrong way due to using python from salt bundle. We need to align this state for salt bundle.

About the long time of not accepting the key as I remember it's increasing the interval of retries to authenticate, probably you need to wait sone more time after accepting the key.

Sorry, I sneezed and sent the mail before completing by mistake... Here the full one.




Good Morning,

Can you please assist me with two questions whilst I am trying to get familiar with the salt minions/registration?
(Background: AlmaLinux 8 Uyuni Server 2021.12 / CentOS7 client)

1. Bootstrapping the CentOS7 client manually does work. It took me a long time to accept the key on the master (multitasking/dinner).
   The minion tried to contact the server a few times but then not anymore (it seems).
   I had to manually restart "venv-salt-minion.service" on the client. Is this the expected behavior?

2. Failed to apply state(s): highstate
   I have quite some errors when applying the initial state to the minion. Are these error messages from the server or from the client?

CentOS 7 does not have any Python 3.9 (nor does my Uyuni Server). Where should the file come from?

Also some more errors that I will probably tackle later:
