Hi, as I just told you I’m a newby with centos and nethserver internals, so be patien with me. I probably broken something with cockpit because when I try to log in i get: The cockpit package is not installed.

But:

yum install nethserver-cockpit
Loaded plugins: changelog, fastestmirror, nethserver_events
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

Just “remove” and “install” but nothing changed.

Thanks in advance.

What’s the outcome of:

rpm -qa cockpit\* |sort

Is cockpit package listed?

You can try reinstalling with:

yum reinstall nethserver-cockpit

AFAIK nethserver-cockpit is installed by default from NS 7.7

Complete!

But: The cockpit package is not installed

At which stage does the error message appear? Do you get to see the cockpit login page? Any info on /var/log/messages or on the browser console?

Are the services running?

systemctl status -l cockpit.socket
systemctl status -l cockpit.service

Maybe these shared libraries are missing:

/usr/lib64/libpolkit-agent-1.so.0
/usr/lib64/libpolkit-agent-1.so.0.0.0

Is polkit package installed?

rpm -q polkit
