I'm not sure that allowing the public to reboot a critical ClearCenter server would be the best idea in security.

We have just increased the memory in the server from 2G to 8GB and set up a monitor to see if that is adequate.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for restarting the proxy, its working again! :-)
Is there a possibillity that users can restart the proxy by themselves? Would save a lot of time for everyone ;-)

Kind regards, Gerard

Anyone running into this problem and who has yum-marketplace-plugin >= 2.4-1 (which was pushed a couple of weeks ago), can get round this by putting the following in their hosts file:

178.62.233.167 mirrorlist.clearos.com

207.154.210.181 mirrorlist.clearos.com

67.205.175.90 mirrorlist.clearos.com

138.68.237.203 mirrorlist.clearos.com

128.199.192.13 mirrorlist.clearos.com

178.62.250.181 mirrorlist.clearos.com

207.154.246.212 mirrorlist.clearos.com

67.205.144.164 mirrorlist.clearos.com

138.68.236.117 mirrorlist.clearos.com

139.59.245.244 mirrorlist.clearos.com

I noticed the same and restarted the proxy. That fixed it for a few minutes. It is not good again.

Hello people,

Yesterday and today on a business server:
yum update
Loaded plugins: clearcenter-marketplace, fastestmirror
ClearCenter Marketplace: fetching repositories...
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.clearos.com/clearos/mirrorlist/clearos-current-os-7 error was
12: Timeout on http://mirrorlist.clearos.com/clearos/mirrorlist/clearos-current-os-7: (28, 'Operation too slow. Less than 1000 bytes/sec transferred the last 30 seconds')

something down again?

I'm not sure what is going on at the moment. I know the SDN servers briefly went down on Tuesday and came up again and a "yum update" is working for me now.

Here we go again........

Very unproffessional! second time at same costumor this happens.....

Well its pretty bad..... even the paid commercial versions can not update/upgrade atm ......
I think the costumor will not be very happy to hear this .......

Hi Nick,
I tested it on another machine and everything was working as expected. Just needed to wait for the mirrors to be available again.

Best regards

mirrorlist.clearos.com is down again. I did try to contact the team but it was the weekend. They should be back in later today.

Hello,

Yesterday and today all yum on several systems do:

[root@fw01 ~]# yum update
Loaded plugins: clearcenter-marketplace, fastestmirror
ClearCenter Marketplace: fetching repositories...
Determining fastest mirrors
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.clearos.com/clearos/mirrorlist/clearos-current-os-7 error was

One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:

1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.

2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).

3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
yum --disablerepo=<repoid> ...

4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:

yum-config-manager --disable <repoid>
or
subscription-manager repos --disable=<repoid>

5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:

yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true

Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: clearos/7


And get stuck......

We have released app-base-2.8.10-1.v7. It should sync to the repos within 2 hours. It may not fix recent failed installs but it should stop new installs from failing.

@Tux Brothers, mirrorlist.clearos.com went offline for a bit earlier today. That may be the cause. Overnight the automatic updates would do a "yum clean all".

Also noticed that the mirror was down this morning (and still is).

I guess Dave is up all night try to fix the problem!

That does not help. I'm glad I was working on a test project instead of something with a hard deadline.
I'll ping the mirror again in a couple of hours.

I’ve got this problem and I’m on community, I’ve tried downloading 7.6.0 and it does the same thing.

There is a beta ISO in the testing repos on the mirror but that has a known bug and should NOT be used unless you are trying to help solve the bug.

Is there already a ClearOS Community 7.7 ISO?

If you perform the following steps from console (Ctrl+Alt+F3) or from ssh, does the problem go away?

yum -y update
reboot

Thanks for the report. Dave has a system exhibiting the same behaviour and is investigating.

I can't seem to install at all.
Not using the iso I've downloaded in Juli and used successfully several times. Downloaded a new iso with 7.7 but both installs get stuck on the updating part.

It's in gateway mode and the external NIC is bridged (DNS lookup succeeded! etc).
The console screenshot makes the most sense to you guys I think.

Nick Howitt wrote:

Check you are in Gateway mode with a different subnet on your LAN and WAN.

The system is in stand-alone mode. I added a network card with two ports to use them for virtual machines (running Kimchi app / kvm). Clearos recognizes the network card's ports as LAN ports, but I've never configured them in clearos.

Check you are in Gateway mode with a different subnet on your LAN and WAN.

Do you know if, by any chance, you are using any of the kmod drivers I have previously supplied? If you are, apart from the kmod-r8168 and kmod-r8169, you will need to source the drivers directly from elrepo.org.

I booted the system into the previous kernel and got the same error! It turned out that the system fails to connect the external network if there is a connected lan link! I had to disconnect lan ports in order for the external port to connect, then reconnect the lans! I don't know what causes this, but I'll open a thread in this forum in case I couldn't figure it out.

Thank you.

@Christoph, a new version of app-base was released yesterday to fix your issue. If you could roll back your VM, you could try upgrading with that if you wanted.

Nick Howitt wrote:

Hello Christoph, it looks like you've hit on a bug in the upgrade script which manipulates the repos. It should have removed "samba-*" from the "exclude" line but did not. The script fails as the string to remove is the last one in the exclude line. You can remove manually all three occurrences of "samba-*" from /etc/yum.repos.d/clearos-centos.repo or wait for us to push an update.

[edit]
You can remove the .rpmnew and .old files from here if you want.

Hi Nick,

OK I tried it on my test VM and the update of the sama packages went well.
Thank you very much for your quick support.

Best regards
Christoph

Hello people,

Second machine upgrade went OK! used as a Samba DC. (Already re-joined a workstation)

Cheers!
