httpProxy=128.240.229.7:8080 or httpProxy=128.240.229.65:8080 if you really need that proxy. |
Thanks again for your help Misc.
How do I change the httpProxy? Is that in the network setting on the programs menu? Chris |
As mentioned earlier: up2date --configure
|
I have now gone into 'preferences' then 'networking settings' and changed the proxy to manual and 128.240.229.7:8080 and the problem remains the same.

Thanks Misc.
Its working now. Excellent. Chris |
I am having the same problem.
I updated the ssl like it said on the website, and if I try to again it says that it is already installed. SO, why do I always get the "Problem Registering User" error? When I click on the Register RHN to begin with, I get a blank screen (where some type of license agreement should be), then I say.. use existing account.. put in my user name and pass (from registering REDHAT 9 Prof on the website) then click finish.. but then the error. Any Ideas why? I have contacted red hat, but no answers yet. I am able to register 2 computers with RedHat 9 Prof, but I have none registered as of yet. Any help is appreciated. D. |
The error description is rather vague.
A common mistake is that you don't have any free entitlements left in your account at RHN. Only one demo entitlement is free per person. Log in at https://rhn.redhat.com and free up an entitlement, that means disable or delete the profile of previously registered machines. |
I do not have any computers registered yet (already checked to make sure) and since I have purchased the Prof Ed. of RH9, I am entitled to 2 computers.
Since I dont have any registered yet, I am still able to register 2. (One for work... which I am trying now.. then the other for home.. once I get the one at work going). I have contacted redhat and all they have said is do " up2date --register " which I have already tried with the same result. Any other Ideas? D. |
So, don't let us guess. Please post the error message.

Ok, this is exactly what happens.
I click on the RHN icon or type the " up2date --register " It brings up the box.. but under the Step1: Review the Red Hat Privacy Statement, there is nothing. Just a blank box. So I click forward....and go to Step2: Login I click use existing Account, put in my username and password. (even if I do create an account and put in the info, same problem) Click Forward to Step3: System Profile--Hardware Click Forward, it reads the installed packages etc... Click Forward, now I am at the Send Profile Info to RHN. Click Forward and I get the " Problem Registering Username " Error Message. I click the "OK", , try Forward again, but keep getting the same " Prob Reg. Username " error That is all, no script or anything. I am updated to the latest SSL that they have posted, I verified that they are updated (by trying to update again, then told already installed).... And that is it. Hopefully this helps you Thanks in advance. D. |

It sounds as if you experience communication errors and don't receive any data from RHN. Maybe something is blocking traffic to your host? |
The "Problem Registering Username" is the error message.
That is all it says. So... I decided to reinstall Linux (since it was originally installed yesterday)....... followed the instructions on the RedHat site (again) and this time it works. Now.. I am having trouble installing the NVidia Drivers since it says it cannot find the kernel, and cant recompile a new one.... So.. Thanks for the help... now I have to find out how to fix the driver issue. D. |
My RH9 install does what i primarily wanted it to do (samba server), but i've gotten it all sorts of ****ed up on everything else.
Anybody clue me on what happened here? [root]# wget -q -O - https://rhn.redhat.com/help/new-cert.sh | /bin/bash Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 15, in ? File "/usr/lib/python2.2/xmlrpclib.py", line 821, in __call__ return self.__send(self.__name, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/xmlrpclib.py", line 975, in __request verbose=self.__verbose File "/usr/lib/python2.2/xmlrpclib.py", line 853, in request return self.parse_response(h.getfile()) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/xmlrpclib.py", line 896, in parse_response return u.close() File "/usr/lib/python2.2/xmlrpclib.py", line 571, in close raise apply(Fault, (), self._stack[0]) xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault -1: "While running 'use_CA_chain': caught\nserver.apacheRequest.UnknownXML : Invalid request received (method 'use_CA_chain' doesn't have a class and function).\n"> |
What do you get for...?
rpm -q python rpm -V python |
Ok.. another up2date problem (I Think).
up2date working (downloads, installs etc..) but when I choose to update the kernel from 2.4.20-8smp to 2.4.20-20.9smp it says that it is installed, but there is no mention of it at boot (only 2.4.20-8 and 2.4.20-8smp are mentioned). I looked in the boot directory and there are .img files of the 20-8 but none for the 20-20.9. And when I look at the grub file, it has no listing for the 20-20.9, so I was going to update it manually.... but since there is no 20-20.9 image..... how do I configure it?? Sorry if this is the wrong area.. just that the up2date updated the kernel fine in my other system.. but not for this one so I figure it is an up2date prob. D. |
