Oracle linux 6.3: (yum update) [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 18

Hi all,
I installed yesterday Oracle Linux 6.3 in the first time and when I tried to do yum update I got the following error:
[root@ole6 ~]# yum update
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, security
http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/i386/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 18 - "transfer closed with 1639799 bytes remaining to read"
Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from ol6_latest: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Avi,
Thanks for your reply. as I said this is my first time installing Linux so not all the terms are clear to me.
I installed OL6.3 through Oracle VirtualBox 4.1.18.
anyway, I did what you recomanded and it's still not working:
[root@ole6 ~]# yum clean all
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, security

Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from ol6_latest: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
when I tried to download http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/i386/repodata/primary.xml.gz
by IE of my host (Windows) I succeed but when i tried to do the same through Firefox of the virtual machine the download stopped after approximally 15MB which is similar to what happened with the PYCURL ERROR 18 above.
Are there any configuration I need to set in my linux installation or maybe in the oracle virtualbox setting?
Thanx,
Yosi

    First, you need to upgrade to the latest version of uln-yum-mirror to avoid these errors in future. The latest version has mitigation tools to remove RPMs that fail GPG checking.
    In this instance, you need to manually delete the RPMs that pyCURL can't download. Once you delete all the RPMs, the next run of uln-yum-mirror will download them fresh and recreate the yum metadata locally.

    And general is the repo server extremely slow max 200kb. I connect from Germany is that a problem? Yes, we know. We're working to try and replace the hardware for public-yum.oracle.com and ULN to make them faster. It's a work-in-progress! In the meantime, check the forum for ways to create your own local mirror of public-yum.oracle.com (instead of trying to update directly from all your servers). To mirror ULN, you can use this document on OTN: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/yum-repo-setup-1659167.html

  • How can I install kornshell in Oracle Linux no using yum?

    I have a VM with Oracle Linux. with no internet access and I need to install korn shell. How can I do it no using yum?

    I really would like to use YUM to install, but my VM is not accessing the internet. I browsed the repository (Index of /repo/OracleLinux/OL6/3/base/x86_64/) and found out the right file.
    Thanks for your help!

    It tells me that you perhaps tried to install the software before finding or following the instructions. If you check the fuse-ntfs-3g package of your output, it belongs to el5, not el6.
    I suggest to check /etc/yum.repos.d directory. It seems you have enabled or installed the wrong yum software repository from the rpmforge source.
    To solve your problem, perhaps the following will work:
    su - root
    yum remove rpmforge-release
    cd /etc/yum.repos.d
    tar -cf backup.tar ./* --remove-files
    wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo
    wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
    rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
    yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3gThe following does not seem absolutely necessary, but might be a good idea:
    Once you installed the rpmforge-release package you should be able to use:
    yum update rpmforge-release

    x86_64If you see "i686" or "i386" instead then your system is x86.
    # cat /etc/redhat-release
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 9)The above example shows you are running Enterprise Linux version 4.9
    h3. 2) Setup Software Repositories
    You will need to setup access to two software repositories.
    Oracle ULN or public yum:
    The installation of RPM software packages can be complex due to software conflicts or package dependencies. It is easier to use a software manager like "yum", which will automatically resolve package dependencies and prompt you to download required software if necessary.
    For those who do not have a support subscription and access to Oracle ULN, Oracle provides a public YUM software repository to give you free online access to the standard software distributions. Simply follow the instructions outlined at http://public-yum.oracle.com. You only need to enable the software repository that matches your version according to the previous step.
    Reproforge:
    The NTFS driver is provided by the Repoforge alias RPMforge software repository. For more information about Repoforge, please see http://repoforge.org/faq. NTFS-3G is a stable, full-featured, read-write NTFS driver for Linux and other operating systems. For more information check http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download, where you can also download the source code should you prefer to compile your own NTFS driver.
    Depending on your current distribution and kernel architecture, you need to install the following:
    Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.x x86:
    # wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
    # rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
    Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.x x86_64:
    # wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el4.rf.x86_64.rpm
    # rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el4.rf.x86_64.rpm
    Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.x x86:
    # wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm
    # rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm
    Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.x x86_64:
    # wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
    # rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
    Oracle Linux 6.x x86:
    # wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm
    # rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm
    Oracle Linux 6.x x86_64:
    # wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
    # rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpmh3. 3) Install the NTFS Kernel Driver and Related Software
    The software packages required to support NTFS depends on your current Linux distribution:
    Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.x:
    # yum install dkms dkms-fuse fuse fuse-ntfs-3g
    Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.0 - 5.2:
    # yum install dkms dkms-fuse fuse fuse-ntfs-3g
    Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.3:
    NTFS support under Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 is broken and you should consider to upgrade to the 5.4 or later. (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481495)
    Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.4 - 5.x:
    As of Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4 the the kernel fuse module (dkms, dkms-fuse) is included in the kernel and should not be installed.
    # yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g
    Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 6.x:
    # yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g h3. 4) Find and Mount a NTFS Device
    You can use the "blkid" command to identify attached devices. For instance:
    sudo blkid
    /dev/sda1: LABEL="/boot" UUID="73efxxxxxxxxxxxxx_TYPE="ext3" TYPE="ext2"
    /dev/dm-0: UUID="22a2d704-f75dxxxxxxx595df" SEC_TYPE="ext3" TYPE="ext2"
    /dev/dm-1: TYPE="swap" UUID="3b74fxxxxxx411c-8671-2244b8735866"
    /dev/sdb1: TYPE="ntfs"
    {code}
    In the above example, device "/dev/sdb1" contains a NTFS partition.
    To mount the NTFS volume according to above example under the /mnt directory:
    {code}
    sudo mount.ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt
    {code}

    I'm afraid there is no general answer. It depends how your device is connected, i.e. internal, usb, etc.?

  • Oracle VM installation on Oracle Linux 5.6 host

    Hi All,
    I am trying to install the oracle virtual machine 4.2 on Oracle Linux 5.6 host.it is throwing me error related to DKMS. Error message is like below.
    stopped Kernel Modules = OK
    uninstalled Old Virtualbox DKMS kernel modules = OK
    But then I get two fails.
    Trying to register the Virtualbox kernel using DKMS = FAILED
    Recompoling VirtualBox Kernel = FAILED
    when I execute yum update , message is "nothing to update". Also there is no directory inside /usr/src/kernels. I have created on manually as /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r` and set it as KERN_DIR. Still it is showing the same error message.
    It seems that I need to install DKMS and update the yum repository then proceed for the VM installation.
    Please tell me the method for this as I could not figure out any method to resolve this so far.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Rahul Verma

    When you publish your phone number, it will get harvested by spammers and you will get calls forever ...

    Hi ,
    Can someone please help me how to install DKMS and update the yum repository.

    You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
    You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
    [root@machine2 yum.repos.d]#
    [root@machine2 yum.repos.d]# yum update

    What exactly have you been typing? It looks like you tried something like yum install kernel*
    There are several kernels and you do not need to install all of them. Also keep in mind that Oracle Linux ships with the RHCK and UEK kernel, using the UEK kernel as the default.
    I have recently installed the vmware-tools in Oracle Linux 6.5 and did not experience any issues. If I remember correctly, all I did was the following to update to 6.6 including the latest patches and prepare the system to install the vmware tools.
    yum -y update
    shutdown -r now
    yum install kernel-uek-devel-$(uname -r)

  • Version error installing SOA on Oracle Linux

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install Oracle SOA Suite 10g (10.1.3.1.0, soa_linux_x86_101310_disk1.cpio) on Oracle Linux 5, but I'm getting the following error:
    Checking operating system version: must be redhat-Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS rele
    ase 3, redhat-Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4, redhat-Red Hat Enterprise Lin
    ux ES release 3, redhat-Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 or SuSE-9
    Failed <<<<
    Is Oracle Linux not compatible with SOA? My understanding is that Oracle Linux 5 is basically Redhat 4:
    cat /proc/version
    Linux version 2.6.18-53.el5 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-52)) #1 SMP Sat Nov 10 18:24:52 EST 2007.
    Thanks,
    Yi

    You require a patch 6339508 which provides replacement pre-requisite tests. To use it you need to add two parameters to the runInstaller command as shown below.
    ./runInstaller PREREQ_CONFIG_LOCATION=<PATCH_LOC>/prereq –paramFile <PATCH_LOC>/oraparam.ini
    PATCH_LOC is the location where you unzipped the 6339508 patch. With these new parameters the installer correctly recognizes Oracle Enterprise Linux as a supported platform. Note that OEL needs some specific patches when used with SOA Suite and these need to be installed prior to running the installer. Check the documentation for details.
    cheers

  • Local repository on Oracle VM Manager, then yum check-update itself

    Hi.
    I have one Oracle VM Manager server as Oracle Linux 6.2 x86_64 that ULN registerd.
    To update my Oracle VM Servers I set up local yum repository on my Oracle VM Manager, and it works OK with my Oracle VM Server Upgrade.
    (Here is nice documents: http://itnewscast.com/oracle-vm-patch-updates )
    However when I run "yum check-update" to keep secure OL6 itslef on my Oracle VM Manager, it shows update for el5 (not el6) as below;
    ethtool.x86_64 2:2.6.33-0.3.100.1.el5 ovm3_x86_64_latest
    kernel-uek.x86_64 2.6.39-200.1.1.el5uek ovm3_x86_64_latest
    kernel-uek-firmware.noarch 2.6.39-200.1.1.el5uek ovm3_x86_64_latest
    pciutils.x86_64 3.1.7-5.el5 ovm3_x86_64_latest
    python-urlgrabber.noarch 3.9.1-9.100.1.el5 ovm3_x86_64_latest
    unzip.x86_64 6.0-3.100.1.el5 ovm3_x86_64_latest
    I can run as 'yum --disablerepo="ovm3_x86_64_latest" check-update' to ignore above updates, but is there any way more smart?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

    I installed this patch to see if it would fix the problem I'm having, which is:
    After a fresh install of 3.1.1 on two servers and the manager, everything worked fine until I rebooted the servers the first time. Then they came up in the "starting" state, and stay there. The error messages from the discovery process say something like "com.oracle.ovm.mgr.api.exception.IllegalOperationException: If the IP address of this server has changed, please delete the server: toravm2.acbl.net, and re-discover."
    The servers have certainly not changed any hardware or IP addresses. They were just installed!
    Anyhow, the installation of Build 365 and reboot of the servers fixed ONE of them. But the other one is still stuck in the "starting" state, and is UNUSABLE.
    Any idea what the discovery process might be seeing that would cause this?

  • Upgrade OEL 4.8 to Oracle Linux OL 5.4 on a Live System using Yum

    I have a remote server with my oracle 10g databases running on it.
    The OS Version is OEL 4 update 8
    Need to upgrade it to OEL 5 update 4.
    Can I do it through yum.
    I need to do it remotely. Please suggest the steps.
    Cold backup taken for the database.

    Upgrading from one major release version to another is not supported and you cannot use yum to perform the task.
    http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/ch-upgrade-x86.html
    Oracle Linux is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which does not support in-place upgrades between any major versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. A major version is denoted by a whole number version change. For example, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 are both major versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In-place upgrades across major releases do not preserve all system settings, services or custom configurations. Consequently, Red Hat strongly recommends fresh installations when upgrading from one major version to another.

  • Oracle Linux Patching/Updates Impact on Oracle Database

    I have several questions regarding Oracle Linux patching and its impact on Oracle Database.
    3 node Cluster
    Operating System: Oracle Linux Release 5 update 2
    Kernel: 2.6.18-92.1.22.0.1.el5 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    Grid Infrastructure: Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2)
    Database: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise Edition (11.2.0.2) with RAC option
    ASM with ASMLib is being used for Data and FRA.
    *1)* Given your at Oracle Linux Release 5 update 2, will applying only Security Patches require any changes to ASMLib, Oracle Grid Infrastructure and/or Oracle Database (software binaries, configuration etc.)?
    *2)* Given your at Oracle Linux Release 5 update 2, will applying Bug Fixes and Security Patches to Oracle Linux 5 update 2 require any changes to ASMLib, Oracle Grid Infrastructure and/or Oracle Database (software binaries, configuration etc.)?
    *3)* Given your updating from Oracle Linux Release 5 update 2 to Oracle Linux Release 5 update 8, will this require any changes to ASMLib, Oracle Grid Infrastructure and/or Oracle Database (software binaries, configuration etc.)?
    I would most whole heartedly appreciate if someone could answer the specific questions asked, inline if possible. Our System Administrator is preparing to perform some patching and as the DBA I'd like to be certain what changes I need to prepare for? I also have a single instance database setup with Oracle Restart. I don't know if this impacts the answers above.
    Thanks in advance.

    How do you plan to apply Oracle Linux security patches? As far as I'm aware the yum security plug-in does not work with the Oracle public yum repository and there is no really feasible way to automate and determine security related patches only, unless you setup Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control (11g) or Cloud (12c)  and have a subscription to Oracle ULN.
    If you upgrade your Oracle Linux to the latest available version using the public yum repository, all patches, including errata will be applied. You cannot apply patches and stay on a specific release version unless you have a subscription and appropriate yum repository access.
    As far as I'm aware there are no changes required to your Oracle database or ASM setup and configuration when updating the OS, provided the version of the Oracle database is supported for the specific OS version (ASM features like ADVM/ACFS are kernel version depending). Upgrading from one major release to another, such as upgrading Oracle Linux 5 to Oracle Linux 6 is not supported and will require upgrading the Oracle Database to 11.2.0.3. You can check the Oracle database certification matrix to determine which Oracle database release version is required for which OS version http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/relnotes.112/e23558/toc.htm
    The relinking of Oracle Database binaries is a common practice when updating the OS. I do not think it is necessary under Linux. Oracle binaries are typically standalone applications, or use Oracle provided libraries, or in some cases use OS shared libraries, which does not require relinking of Oracle binaries. Upgrading the Oracle database software of course requires relinking.

    The actual problem seems to be that you are using the wrong Linux distribution for you Laptop. Enterprise Linux was not designed for consumer grade hardware. To further troubleshoot the problem you will need to check for relevant output of "dmesg", i.e. check if the firmware and driver that was loaded for the device. You should also check "lspci -v" w/o grep to see more detailed information for the device.
    Are you trying the latest Oracle Linux 6 update 2?
    What is your hardware?
    Beware that no Oracle database products are yet certified for EL6 yet, so you should better stick to Oracle Linux 5 update 7 instead.
    If the purpose of your installation is research and development I suggest to install Windows as your primary OS and run Oracle Linux inside Virtualbox. Check the following link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-vm/index.html
