Hi Folks, as recommended I have only updated up2date , up2date-gnome.# All other packages deselected. Run uptodate - okay. But now I have no channels in up2date - I can't update my system. If I try to start up2date I get this error message: Exception type exceptions.ValueError Exception Handler Information Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet.py", line 521, in refresh self.model.refresh(force) File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet_model.py", line 450, in refresh source.refresh(force) File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet_source.py", line 35, in refresh self._do_refresh() File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet_rpc.py", line 209, in _do_refresh server = self.create_server() File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet_rpc.py", line 87, in create_server s.add_trusted_cert(self.__cert__) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rhn/rpclib.py", line 466, in add_trusted_cert self._transport.add_trusted_cert(certfile) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rhn/transports.py", line 294, in add_trusted_cert raise ValueError, "Certificate file %s is not accessible" % certfile ValueError: Certificate file /usr/share/rhn/CNS-CA-CERT is not accessible No channels visible. Up2date says system is uptodate But it isn't so because I only updated up2date. And now???? Timothy
