Hi Folks,

we are attempting to evaluate the SuSE\_Manager product and having a problem during the setup process. The setup hangs when it try to restart the cobbler services or may be at the following step.  
The installations have been performed in VMWare.

Has anyone an idea whats the solution is? Any suggestions would be welcome!

Hi filipepinto,

can you use i.e. “ps” or “pstree” to identify what exactly the operation is that hangs? If it’s some spawned start of a subsystem, it might be possible to to further debug why that operation doesn’t return. Another approach would be to check for an installation log, to see if any error is reported.

This answer is rather generic since I’ve not yet had a chance to test SuSE Manager.

Regards,
