Re-registering Ubuntu Client

[aric89]

I upgraded a Ubuntu machine from 20 to 22 and I'm getting salt errors on the client machine now. I'm able to register it but it isn't able to apply states etc. How do I troubleshoot salt/minion issues?

systemctl status venv-salt-minion

I figured out my own question after a couple weeks of troubleshooting and finally posting this.

My solution was that sources.list became all jumbled so I recreated it from an old file and then applied the subscribed channels in Uyuni. Once that was successfull on applying the Uyuni channels then everything else started working!

Update:

Also, there needs to be a systemid file under /etc/sysconfig/rhn. For some reason, it doesn't get created sometimes and just needs to be blank.

The command I used is "touch /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid".
