Try strace /usr/sbin/up2date -u (see bug 71387). But basically 2.9.33 is completely broken. Description of problem: Bad: 'up2date -i foo.rpm' exits with no installation NOTABUG. use redhat-config-packages or rpm for installing packages from local repo's. The "-i" flag is used to tell up2date to install packages (possibly overriding config setttings). Bad: 'up2date-gnome' segfaults there is no executable called "up2date-gnome", so I'm not sure how it segfaults. Did you mean "up2date-config" or "up2date-nox" ? up2date run from command line w/no arguments seems to bring up graphical interface which segfaults. If I run up2date from command line with arguments, say, I have no local copy of given package so I need to grab it from Red Hat, then up2date -i package.rpm or up2date -u to update system to current from command line, both (the gui and from command line) seem to crash with 2.9.33-7.x.9. I'll run an strace with 2.9.33-7.x.9 when RHN traffic dies down a bit. try this with the versions in (Null) please. there was some weird issues in 2.9.33 that seem to be cleared up in newer versions w/up2date-2.9.46-1, the ui comes up but on "Packages Flagged to be Skipped" ui, the "Forward" button is unfocused, so there is no way to complete the update. Also If "Back" is pressed to channel description ui, "Forward" button stays unfocused. 1st attempt of an strace crashed X, Galeon also needed to be restarted with 'killall galeon-bin'. Attached is strace of up2date-2.9.46-1 when this occured. It seems constant. Also, I don't know if this is appropriate or not, but if there were more channels offered in RHN, I would argue that subscription services would be a better seller. I.E. multimedia channel (possibly offering something the likes of http://www.agnula.org/), office channel (different Linux office suites and tools like trial version of VMWARE and the like), development channel (alternative compilers, Intel compiler?, and IBM Linux dev tools, even if trial version), security channel (security auditing tools as mentioned in the Red Hat Security Guide.)....if not appropriate, I do apologize, who could I possibly contact to suggest such criteria? Only, if you have the time.... Created attachment 72185 [details]
strace of (null) up2date-2.9.46-1, "Forward" button doesn't seem to work.
FWIW, up2date consistently fails for me, too, with the unfocused Forward button, when I run the update agent from the Gnome menu. The update headers all get downloaded, but up2date stalls when it gets to the Skipped Packages screen. up2date-2.9.68-1 seems to fix alot of these problems, although "Use GPG to verify package integrity" doesn't seem to work for most of the updates, which worries me a bit as I sure hope I'm not downloading cracked versions of updates. Where can I get up2date-2.9.68-1? Rawhide has 2.9.61-1, which still exhibits the unfocused Forward button. new packages should be available soon. |
