I installed spacewalk to a centOS-server according to the official documentation. I installed an ubuntu-client and followed the following manual: <a href="http://www.devops-blog.net/spacewalk/registering-ubuntu-and-debian-servers-with-spacewalk" target="_blank">http://www.devops-blog.net/spacewalk/registering-ubuntu-and-debian-servers-with-spacewalk</a><o:p></o:p> Spacewalk now recognizes the server and shows me, it needs updates. I schedule the updates, but the client won't pull the commands (even if the interval is set to 70 - after 70 minutes). I then run a manual <code>rhn-check</code> and it does nothing, only the error-message appears on the spacewalk-GUI:<o:p></o:p> <pre style="line-height:13.65pt;background:#EEEEEE;vertical-align:baseline;max-height:600px;word-wrap:normal;overflow:auto"><code>Client execution returned "update failed" (code 1)</code><o:p></o:p></pre> Does anyone know, what does this means?<o:p></o:p> Second problem is, that when I schedule a package-installation via the spacewalk-WebGUI and run a <code>rhn_check</code>, a long list of packages including <code>rhnsd apt-transport-spacewalk rhn-client-tools</code> will be uninstalled. Does anyone know this problem and maybe has a solution for it?<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> BR,<o:p></o:p> Willi Hennrichs<o:p></o:p> </div> <div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"> <hr size="2" width="100%" align="center"> </div> This email is intended only for the addressee.
