Hello, at this moment we use redhat and centos on mylaptop. I upgraded from centos 5.2 to 5.3. I have something strange, my auto update is not running any more, if I start the update process manually and it is working. If i do a clean install of centos 5.3 on a pc or laptop it is working.
My question is why is the auto update not running any more afther the update process.
Met vriendelijke groet/With kind regards,
Rob Morrien

There are several different ways to do auto updates.
Are you talking about the graphical auto update that runs as an applet near the date (defaults to the right hand side of the top tool bar of CentOS)?
If so, in CentOS 5.3 that package is called pirut and the individual file that runs is called puplet.
It seems that puplet is not working correctly after the upgrade to 5.3, according to this bug:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3565
I get the same thing when running puplet from the commandline on my machine.
We are looking at this issue now.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

This is a known upstream bug, there is currently no fix:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3565

Puplet fails with me too, I have to use yum at the CLI. I even forgot there is such a thing as puplet :-(
Upstream, reported back in January: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480339
Despite the mentions workaround here: http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.3#head-198f803bc13b52348... and here: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=76607&topic_id... the workaround allegedly being here: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3564 ...I couldn't see any workaround whatsoever.

I thought I was the only one who had the problem. My "solution" was to run 'yum update' every day (or every other day). I figured I had accidentally turned the service off when I was shutting down some of the other services.

You can set this up to auto run with chkconfig & service.
chkconfig --level 35 yum on (to turn it on at boot) service yum start (to start the service)
