[SOLVED] Error during boot: gconf-sanity-check-2 error 256

[SOLVED] Error during boot: gconf-sanity-check-2 error 256

Post by Aquazone » 2014/10/05 10:58:49

recently I added an additional harddrive to my system, mounted it on /mnt/hdd and added the corresponding line to /etc/fstab. Then I moved parts of my own home folder (images, videos, music and download folders) to that mount point, set user rights, permissions and SE Linux contexts accordingly and left a symlink in my former home folder that directly points to the new location. Last, I did the same with /tmp and move that folder to /mnt/hdd/tmp as well, also checking all permissions, sticky bit, SE Linux context and so on. Technically, everything works fine, I can access my files and store new items in the new location.

BUT: Since I did the above steps, the booting process stops and shows the following error message(s). As I am using German locales, I am quoting the original error message first and then translate the message to English:

«Es gibt ein Problem mit dem Konfigurationsserver. (/usr/libexec/gconf-sanity-check-2 beendet mit Status 256)»
There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/libexec/gconf-sanity-check-2 terminated with status 256)

Then this message appears:
«Installationsproblem! Die Standardkonfiguration für die GNOME-Energieverwaltung wurde nicht korrekt installiert. Bitte wenden Sie sich an Ihren Systemadministrator.»
Installation problem. The default configuration for the GNOME energy settings are incorrectly installed. Please contact your system administrator.

The background image is broken, but the login manager appears and I can logon to the system as usual. Once logged in, there is no abnormal behavior. Everything runs fine and smooth as usual. Manual execution of gconf-sanity-check-2 produces no output. dmesg doesn’t give any hints. In .xsession-errors there is a reference that points to some policy kit error, but I don’t quite see why. Even though /tmp has been moved everything is accessible and has the correct permissions as far as I can tell. Other than that, nothing has changed to the system.

Why does yum return error: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try ?

Environment

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux
• Red Hat Customer Portal
• Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM)
• Red Hat Satellite

Issue

• yum update fails with the error : [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try

Resolution

Check the network connectivity. If IP based Firewall is being used then whitelist the IPs that are mentioned in Public CIDR Lists for Red Hat (IP Addresses for cdn.redhat.com) for access to the content delivery network (CDN).

Check what files are present under /etc/yum.repos.d directory by:-

If the system is registered with Red Hat Subscription Manager (RHSM) via subscription-manager, rhel-source.repo and redhat.repo are present.

If any local repositories or any other media repositories are present, remove them by:-

Remove the old yum cache from the system by running the following commands:

Check if the valid repositories are getting listed by:-

If the previous solutions does not work, try reenabling each repository one by one with the following:-

Root Cause

• Possible reasons for this issue:
  • Corrupted yum cache.
  • Inaccessibility of a repository URL from the system due to network-related issues.
  • Presence of customized or other media repositories.
  • Outdated whitelist when using IP-based Firewall configuration to access Red Hat’s Content Delivery Network (CDN).

Diagnostic Steps

yum update fails with any of the below errors:-

On Satellite Server it fails with this error as per /var/log/messages

Check the accessibility of the repository URL in the system/network.

Check the repositories under /etc/yum.repos.d

Hi Team,
Please note we have local repository configured.

[root@mpe3100 yum.repos.d]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/hp.repo
[hp]
name=hp
baseurl=file:///arjun/rhel6
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
[root@mpe3100 yum.repos.d]#

The cache has been cleared

root@mpe3100 yum.repos.d]# rm -fr /var/cache/yum/*
[root@mpe3100 yum.repos.d]#

Still we get the below error when we run yum install gcc

Total download size: 75 M
Installed size: 221 M
Is this ok [y/N]: y
Downloading Packages:

Error Downloading Packages:
ppl-0.10.2-11.el6.x86_64: failure: Packages/ppl-0.10.2-11.el6.x86_64.rpm from hp: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
sinjdoc-0.5-9.1.el6.x86_64: failure: Packages/sinjdoc-0.5-9.1.el6.x86_64.rpm from hp: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

Please confirm if we need to download and install the last four packages listed in error

check dns resolver /etc/resolv.conf

solved the issue, was clear and to the point.

If you are using satelitte6 and have Content Views with custom channel names or different from the one used of the container base image (by default 7Server) remember to add the —releasever=xyz modifier to all your yum commands

RUN yum clean all && yum —releasever=7.3 update && yum repolist —disablerepo=* && yum-config-manager —disable * > /dev/null && yum-config-manager —releasever=7.3 —enable rhel-7-server-rpms && yum install —releasever=7.3 -y bzip2 fontconfig

Consider also this solution to the problem I had below. (to [Errno 14] but also encountered [Errno 256] with HTTPS Error 404 — Not Found. The Errno 14 is perhaps most likely due to URL and «releasever» setting while Errno 256 related to GPG.

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2850911 — As GPG armor is not enabled on server side, so ensure repo_gpgcheck is set to 0 in yum.conf file for RHEL clients.

Fresh install of RHEL 7.4 on VirtualBox 5.2 and have the same issue, though this did not resolve it. Followed these instructions up to «Install the latest updates» https://developers.redhat.com/products/rhel/hello-world/#fndtn-virtualbox_get-ready-for-software-development

Following issue on «yum update» or «yum repolist» as root (though system already registered and attached to RedHat Subscription Manager)

One of the configured repositories failed (CentOS-7 — Base), 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. Disable the repository, 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 base

4. 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=base.skip_if_unavailable=true

failure: repodata/repomd.xml from base: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. http://mirror.mirohost.net/centos/7/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#6 — «Could not resolve host: mirror.mirohost.net; Unknown error»

YUM error 256 – Let’s fix it

Oops!! Frustrated with YUM error 256? We can help you fix it.

This error occurs due to many reasons including corrupted YUM cache, configuration changes, etc.

At Bobcares, we often get requests from our customers to fix YUM error 256 as part of our Server Management Services.

Today, let’s get into the details on how our Support Engineers fix this problem.

When does YUM error 256 occur?

YUM is an open-source package management tool for RedHat Package Manager based Linux systems. It makes package installation a simple process.

However, while using YUM, we may encounter many errors. Today, we discuss in detail on how to fix one such yum error having code 256.

This error occurs mainly due to:

• corrupted YUM cache
• inaccessibility of a repository URL from the system
• due to some configuration mistakes

Let’s see how our Engineers find the fix for this error.

How do we fix?

We just saw the common reasons that could result in Yum errors. And, the fix can vary depending on the triggering reason. Let’s see the top ones.

1. Corrupted Yum cache

Recently, one of our customers approached us with an error in his RHEL6 server. He was trying to install the java package.

We checked and confirmed that the folder /etc/yum.repos.d contained only valid repositories. The link was also working correctly when accessed via a browser. Thus the problem happened due to YUM cache corruption. So, we did the following:

Firstly, we removed the old YUM cache from the system by running the following commands:

Then updated the packages using

Thereafter, the java package installation went on fine.

2. Incorrect repository

Similarly, YUM error 256 can happen due to incorrect repository set up too.

In one of the cases, the customer was using a local repository on his server. Here the GPG check was failing.

Therefore, our Engineers fixed the problem by making the following changes in /etc/yum.repos.d/_local.repo.

That removed the GPG check and the yum started working again.

Conclusion

In short, this error occurs due to many reasons including corrupted YUM cache, inaccessibility of a repository URL from the system, etc. Also, we saw how our Support Engineers fix this error.
