[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk-list Digest, Vol 57, Issue 9 (template issue)

Fri Feb 8 14:37:16 UTC 2013

Hello Jonathan,

I have experienced this issue a few times with snippets. Usually I had 
some error in my snippet and then it seemed to mess up the whole kickstart 
profile I was trying to attach it to. If I remember I had to delete that 
snippet and kickstart profile, run cobbler sync, recreate kickstart 
profile,( just cloned and that worked), then rebuild snippet making sure 
it was ok. Then would place in my kickstart script and when I clicked 
template it worked. I had tried several times, and like I mentioned if I 
got those errors below once, only way I was able to resolve was to both 
rebuild snippet and profile. 

Thanks,
Todd Walters

Anyone have any insight? I'm dead in the water here.

Thanks,
