installed the latest and the greatest from the pagefault.org to discover a new tool has been landed in my (our) lap.
yum.
now any idea as to proceed with the yum offered updates or stay cautious.
got a mail from update manager with quite a few things that look promising.
(namely e-smith ...release and athlon optimised kernel)

If you are experienced enough and if it's no production system: just try.
I would not dare updating more than one thing at a time. I've experience quite many trouble due to updating (and insufficient skills too); it feels all like windows. Update CLAM AV, break Spamassassin, update mrtg, break sysmon, install securemail, break qmail.
-
Yeah, right !
Enjoy the tool, but keep your cool, like our anonymous 'Guest' suggests.
I haven't had the experience of anything breaking down on me yet, but then again - I only update when I have a specific reason to !
So I use it mainly to keep track of development.
-
The timeout setting is too short. I have no fear suggesting with my name. If nothing's broken for you, wyron from Denmark: congrats.
-
You know what, MB - you're absolutely right - the timeout setting is too short.
I was a bit fast off the mark stating that nothing has broken down on me yet - what I meant was that nothing has broken down as a result of utilizing yum . . . yet !
PS! Enjoyed meeting you in a thread even if I didn't know it was you.
Perhaps with yum you learned the hard way to 'Enjoy the tool, but keep your cool' ?
PPS! I wasn't trying to imply that there was anything wrong with your post, even if it was anonymous. I just referred to it, as it were.

4 days of testing and everything seems to be working fine.
I have been running some heavy use VPN connections into this test network with no problems. Clients used so far are W2Kpro (latest SP) and XPpro.

I have been running some heavy use VPN connections into this test network with no problems. Clients used so far are W2Kpro (latest SP) and XPpro.
Ah - you have tickled my curiousity, since I can't get VPN to function from my W2K-box @ work !
When trying to connect, I get as far as username and password validation, then the error 781 for no valid certificate.
If I try to connect with encryption as an option instead, I get error 789 for problems with L2TP initial negotiation.
How did you get through ?

...
How did you get through ?
I did not do anything special, below is my setup:
Site 1
Internet connection = ADSL with fixed IP (service provider A)
Gateway Server = Mitel SME 5.6 U6
Workstation1 & 2 = W2Kpro ver 5.0.2195 Service Pack 4 build 2195
Workstation3 - 6 = XPpro ver 5.1.2600
Site 2
Internet connection = ADSL with fixed IP (service provider B)
Gateway Server = SME 6.0.1-01 setup as in my post above.
Workstation1 = W2Kpro ver 5.0.2195 Service Pack 4 build 2195
Workstation2 = XPpro ver 5.1.2600
Internal IP ranges - Site1 is 10.0.0.xxx. Site2 is 192.168.0.xxx
All workstations have fixed IPs assigned in the Gateway Server Hostnames and addresses SM panel.
Site1 Host IPs have been entered into the Site2 SM Hostnames and addresses panel as Remote Hosts.
Both Gateway Servers setup to allow 5 PPTP Clients.
All workstations have the Remote Access Connection Manager service running.
XPpro workstations have the "winxplogon.reg" applied.
All VPN connections were setup using the Windows Network Connection Wizard default settings.
A stable VPN connection can be established from any of the workstations at either site to the other site. Once the VPN connection is established I can connect to and use any network share.
I hope some of this information will help you.

Ok, then it's a nogo for me, since my box @ work is hidden in a MPLS cloud, on a firewalled subnet behind a firewalled subnet behind . . and so on.
Damned !
But thanks for the specification, anyway.
-
So i am alone in breaking up my server via manual updates panel (not yum), sigh. I assure you that i've experienced quite some trouble with Clam AV, SA securemail, tinydns, CUPS and sysmon on a 6.0 box. But thanks to this forum i get it fixed.
wyron: :-)
bobk, thanks for describing the testing/updating process.

I've seen yum in action and used the ibilio and a RedHat repositiory to make an update, and all seems to work...
Can someone point me to the repositories I should be using in order to keep my SME6.01 up-to date and not break it by using the wrong source ???
-
I have only four repositories as of yet.
They are . . .
Contribs (of course): http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/development/RPMS/
Charlie Bradys update: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/e-smith/contrib/CharlieBrady/yum-repository/6.0/updates/
CB's base: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/e-smith/contrib/CharlieBrady/yum-repository/6.0/base/
Norlugs: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/norlug/redhat-7.3/RPMS/
Although there are a great deal of packages at Norlug, updates and new both, I haven't had the guts to try out any of them.
From the others I've taken what there is except the anaconda-updates.
Found interesting alternatives, anyone ??
PS! Once again, thxs to Darrell for a brilliant contrib (yum-yum) !

pagefault

I added the yum from dmay and it appeared in server manager.
Trying to remove an added repository does not work, to check a rep. does not work either.
Calling yum from command prompt:
"Not using ftp, http, or file for servers, Aborting - dmay" - whatever options are being used.
It has worked from the console before i installed Dmays contrib. I think i messed something up with the yum which comes with Clam AV from pagefault.org, but maybe someone has a hint?
-
Hi, MB
I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago.
Did you get the latest yum-contrib from Darrell ?
Did you 'signal-event' and restart after rpm -Uvh... ?
As far as I remember that was what did it for me.
The yum-service is working flawlessly for me now (yummie-yummie).
-
Solution for this seems:
the yum comming from pagefault with e-smith-antivirus-6.0.2-02dc is
yum-1.0.3-6.0.7.x.esmith.noarch.rpm
the yum in Darrel May's repository is
yum-1.0.3-1_73.noarch.rpm
Installing the older one via servermanager update system is rejected because it is an older version, although it seems to be installed.
I think this causes the error.
-
I also had this problem, but removing the yum rpm
rpm -e yum-1.0.3-6.0.7.x.esmith
worked ok, then because python was already installed I had to install Darrell's yum and the smeserver panel rpms individually
works fine now.
-
I have a question about YUM - I currently have two repositories in my config:
Contribs.Org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/6.0.1/RPMS/
Pagefault.Org http://www.pagefault.org/download/e-smith/6.0.1/updates/i386/
The Pagefault repository has a TON more updates than the Contribs.org. Why is that? And is it safe to install all of the updates from Pagefault? Has anyone experieneced any problems using these?
Thanks in advance and thanks to Darryl May and others for a great contrib and great service to the community...

I have been playing with updating packages on my test box. So far I have updated the RPMs listed below without any problems. Many of these are from pagefault.org (http://www.pagefault.org/). But some are from fedora/legacy (http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/fedoralegacy/redhat/7.3/updates/i386/).

I can't get Darrel's yum to work. I made a mistake on entering a yum repository: under name i entered an url, under url a "1" and i was not able to delete that entry. Even uninstalling, deleting all yum configs (except that yum-e-smith-antivirus.conf from pagefault.org), rebooting, reinstalling kept the annoying entry. The yum-1.0.3-6.0.7.x.esmith.noarch.rpm is working. Sigh.
-
Since i cannot get Darell Mays server-manager yum to work i try with the command line yum.
There is a yum.conf in /etc/. It looks like
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
exactarch=1
exclude=kernel*
[base]
name=E-smith Linux $releasever base
baseurl=http://www.pagefault.org/download/e-smith/$releasever/os/$basearch
gpgcheck=0
.... [other entries]
I've added:
[development]
name=E-smith Linux $releasever development
baseurl=http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/$releasever/$basearch
gpgcheck=0
wich results in
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 44, in ?
yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
File "yummain.py", line 144, in main
File "clientStuff.py", line 688, in get_package_info_from_servers
File "clientStuff.py", line 128, in HeaderInfoNevralLoad
ValueError: unpack list of wrong size
No matter what path i enter in "baseurl". Commenting out lets it run just fine. Any clues?

Installed D Mays yum contrib from his how to. Worked fine for me on a 6.0.1 box. I must say it's very delicious.... :-D
[This is humor for those of you that have been in computer closets to long and don't know what humor is anymore.]
The repositories that I use are:
Pagefault E-Smith 6.0.1 Legacy Utils http://www.pagefault.org/download/e-smith/6.0.1/legacy-utils/i386/
Pagefault E-Smith 6.0.1 OS http://www.pagefault.org/download/e-smith/6.0.1/os/i386/
Pagefault E-Smith 6.0.1 Updates http://www.pagefault.org/download/e-smith/6.0.1/updates/i386/
I've been able to safely update everything except the Kernal packages. I also haven't updated (or should I say installed) Pine. I'm not even really sure why Pine is showing up in my listings.
Ok here is my real reason for this post.
I have a couple of older 5.6 boxes that I don't think I can upgrade do to lack of RAM CPU etc... Actually I probably could upgrade I'm just not sure it's a good idea yet. In anycase could YUM work on 5.6? If so are there any repositories for it?
-
Hardware requirements are not that different between 5.6 and 6.x If you have >= 128Mb RAM you may consider the upgrade.

By mistake I have enteret an empty line in the yum configuration in sm panel. I am not able to delete this line because there os no "OK" button when I choose to delete it in SM.
I have tried to delete the line in the /etc/yum.conf file but it get written back into yum.conf everytime I try to edit the yum config in SM.
How do I get this empty yum config line deleted?
Thanks JensK
-
Don't know but maybe I can point you in the right direction.
Yum Configuration is in the db at /home/e-smith/configuration. Your not supposed to edit that file manually.(Not sure why yet but I'm SURE there is a good reason not to edit it manually.) Do a search for how to use /sbin/e-smith/db That would be the correct way to edit items in that file.
After you get that part straightened out you'll probably need to do a /sbin/e-smith/expand-template etc/yum.conf to get it back right. You might even accidently wind up deleting all your Repositories in which case you can simply re add them.
Good luck. If you get some thing to work you might want to post it back here. I'm sure others would like to know too.
