Hi,
When I run
koan --list=profiles -s localhost
I get the following error
root@Config cobbler]# koan --list=profiles -s localhost
- looking for Cobbler at http://localhost:25151/cobbler_api

I am using the web GUI and it works ok, no problems.

The logs do not seem to be affected.
The versions I am running are

cobbler-web-2.2.1-1.el6.noarch
[root@Config cobbler]# rpm -qa | grep koan
koan-2.2.1-1.el6.noarch
In the modules.conf I have
[authentication]
#module = authn_denyall
module = authn_configfile
[authorization]
module = authz_allowall
So I am a bit lost. Any thoughts ?
Thanks

Restoring an inherited value for a child profile?
by Zack Perry
I have a profile that is created using the command:
cobbler profile add --name=... --parent=...
The child profile's 'Template Files' attribute originally inherited
from its parent. For testing, I changed it using
cobbler profile edit --name=...
Once I was done, I thought that the defaults in the parent profile
were sufficient, so I wanted to restore the <<inherit>> value. But,
neither cobbler profile edit --help nor man cobbler offer any hints
how to do so. I tried the cobbler web UI as a last resort, no dice
either.
Yeah, I can cobbler profile remove --name=... to delete the modified
child profile and then recreate it. It's not that hard, but
conceptually it's uneconomical :-(
So the Q: is it possible to restore an inherited value for a profile
attribute? If so, what is the correct work flow?
Regards,
--Zack

Re: [cobbler] cobbler 2.4.0 and problems booting Ubuntu 12.10 desktop 64bit
by Zack Perry
Hi James and Andrew,
Thanks for your two's follow-up. Looks like it's probably a good idea to file a bug report upstream to Ubuntu to Debian's Installation Team? Personally, I think what Ubuntu has done qualifies as a "bug".

Yes. I got that one too!

Gentlemen, please give me a few days. I still have a couple of ideas
to try out before we give up on Ubuntu 12.10 and later completely. I
have a couple of other ideas to try out. Will report back to the list.
Regards and have a great weekend,

Buildiso - how to do static network?
by Jakov Sosic
Hi,
I'm using Cobbler 2.2.3, and have to resort to buildiso.
Now, my problem is that ISO want's my machines to do DHCP, but I don't
want them to do that. I want pure static networking during installation
process.
Is that possible and how?
I've tried to set following in my kickstart file:
network --bootproto=static --device=eth0 --onboot=on --noipv6
--ip=192.168.1.244 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.1.1
--nameserver=192.168.1.1
but with no luck. It seems that buildiso configures networking dhcp,
because network config gets done before it even pulls kickstart from
Cobbler server.
How should I go about this one? Is there a way to force static
configuration of network interface for installation?

PXE boot Hiren?
by Robert Jacobson
I'm trying to setup cobbler to PXE boot Hiren's boot CD. I realize this
is more a tftp question than cobbler... but this is the type of
audience that has probably done it for their own environments.
I was able to manually modify pxelinux.cfg by following, e.g.
http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/integrating-iso-hirens-boot-cd-into-f...
i.e. :
LABEL hiren-15.2
kernel /memdisk
append iso initrd=/images/hiren.15.2.iso raw
MENU LABEL hiren-15.2
Booting from them menu item gets me (after a long time loading the ~600
MB hiren ISO into memory!) to the normal Hiren boot screen, but when I
attempt to start something like Partition Magic, it fails to boot after
a couple seconds with the error:
ERROR: could not insert 'phram': Input/output error
mount: special device /dev/mtdblock0 does not exist
I've tried other configurations, e.g. the one here:
http://www.techtrunch.com/linux/boot-hiren-boot-cd-network
But that one didn't work at all (selecting the item in the menu just
immediately went back to the PXE menu)
Any tips appreciated!

langsupport in pxerescue.ks
by Robert Jacobson
I created a "rescus" profile in cobbler using:
cobbler profile add --comment="Rescue for RHEL 6.4"
--distro=rhel6u4-x86_64
--kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/pxerescue.ks --kopts=rescue
--name=rescue-rhel6u4-x86_64
When I booted it, anaconda complained that "langsupport" is not a valid
keyword. It seems to have been removed from anaconda, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=160789
Should it then be removed from the cobbler pxerescue.ks file, or is
there a reason to keep it in (e.g. legacy support)? Perhaps change it to:
# uncomment this for legacy systems
# langsupport en_US

set cobbler variables from PXE menu?
by Robert Jacobson
Is it possible to set cobbler variables by using the "Tab" key at the
PXE menu? I tried just adding the variable itself, like:
foo=1
But that didn't seem to work. At least, the "if" statement I had to
check for that variable didn't find it.

tftp boot files
by Eddie Velez
I am adding files to distro that are need during boot process of Citrix via GUI. When I save changes it removes one of the files needed. I am using 2.4.0 beta 3 of cobbler.
$img_path/=/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Citrix-5.6-SP2/boot/vmlinuz
$img_path/=/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Citrix-5.6-SP2/install.img
If I do it via command line it will be ok until I do a "cobbler sync"
cobbler distro edit --name=Citrix-6.1.0-RTM-59235 --boot-files='$img_path/'='/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Citrix-6.1.0-RTM-59235/boot/vmlinuz''$img_path/'='/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Citrix-6.1.0-RTM-59235/install.img
