Ok, I have the patch but, how do I apply it? 

Is there a link to the bug?

This is a bug in cobbler v2.2 (which I believe you're using).

The problem has been fixed in cobbler upstream, but no new cobbler has been roled out into Fedora / EPEL.

In attachment, you'll find the fix -- try to apply it on your cobbler.

Hi,

> Looks like its trying to login to cobbler? And failing why?

Have you installed the last cobbler (cobbler 2.2.x) version and then downgraded it to the last spacewalk supported version (cobbler 2.0.x) ?

If you did that (like me) the /etc/cobbler/settings and /etc/cobbler/modules.conf configured by spacewalk install script are now /etc/cobbler/settings.rpmsave and /etc/cobbler/modules.conf.rpmsave due to the cobbler rpm downgrade.

just revert these configs files and restart cobbler and it should work for you.

Have a nice day.

Regards.

Baptiste
