Not sure where to post this - please point me in the right direction. I am having an error when sync’ing the cuda repo for rhel8. http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/rhel8/x86_64/ The sync is done with Pulp (Red Hat Satellite). Problem: Error occours on RHEL8 repo in the mod…

Did you ever get a resolution or workaround ? We are experiencing the same problems.

Unfortunately not - we are still having this issue. I opened a bug-report linking to this post, but total radio silence from Nvidia. We are not having the issue on RHEL 7 as the module section of the repo definition only present on RHEL8. It shouldnt be hard to fix if the right people are looking…

Same problem here. Need to sync repos with RedHat Satellite and get the same error. Really frustrating that NVIDIA is completely ignoring this issue.

Hi there qfz769 , stuart4 , and sousa.a.guilherme , Sorry for the delay, this thread just came to my attention. About 6 months ago, I added the Context key-value https://github.com/NVIDIA/yum-packaging-precompiled-kmod/issues/16 (feel free to file issues with the repository on this GitHub repo) and t…

Thank you for the response. The syncing was working fine until about a month ago (I can try and dig up the exact date from the logs). The error basically complains that some of the meta data is not UTF8 encoding (if my memory serves me correct) I can happily send you the sync logs from our satell…

Hello! Thanks for getting back on this issue. I just did a fresh sync of the rhel8 cuda repo on satellite 6.9 Mind you, satellite uses upstream ‘pulp’ to sync these, hence the some vague answer from RedHat… The below, is all output I got when syncing. I would be happy to test any thing you thro…

I filed a GitHub issue: https://github.com/NVIDIA/yum-packaging-precompiled-kmod/issues/19 Still waiting on access to RH Satellite, in the meantime I tried using pulp (thanks for the tip) but was not able to reproduce the error with: pulp_rpm: 3.12.0 pulp_core: 3.13.0 pulp-cli: 0.9.0 I installed…

Thanks for giving this issue attention. :) I can see it is also open at Redhat: 1920511 – 3rd party repository sync fails with 'InvalidStringData: strings in documents must be valid UTF-8'

Hello, I am a developer for Pulp / Satellite. @kmittman For what it’s worth, that is Pulp 3, and Satellite is still (for the next couple of months, anyway) using Pulp 2, so if there was an issue with Satellite I wouldn’t necessarily expect it to have presented on the Pulp 3 installation you tested …

Interesting thing is - what is different for those users where it works as intended? What is your theory here, dalley? :)

Hi, I am still having the same issue. The RHEL7/EL7 repos sync fine, but the RHEL8/EL8 still give the same errors.
