[Spacewalk-devel] ubuntu dependancy python-hwdata and support for 3.x kernels for memory information

2012-07-03 Thread william 

Hi,

i saw in my logfile that it could not connect to hald.

After a tip from msuchy i looked at gudev which should be used when it 
is installed.


after investigation i saw it could not import hwdata
so i manually installed python-hwdata and it started to work.

python-hwdata should be a dependancy for rhn (maybe it should be 
packaged, not sure)




Also my current kernel is version 3.2 (ubuntu 12.04) but the hardware.py 
file only checks for uname 2.4 and uname 2.6


so i added

if kernel[:3] == 3:
return read_memory_2_6()

to hardware.py

def read_memory():
un = os.uname()
kernel = un[2]
if kernel[:3] == 3:
return read_memory_2_6()
if kernel[:3] == 2.6:
return read_memory_2_6()
if kernel[:3] == 2.4:
return read_memory_2_4()

and now the memory information gets collected and pushed to spacewalk.

Regards,

Willem

Good point, will try to fix that in next release.

Indeed.
Commited as 4e48c16.

Thanks for investigation.
