kcarectl error
Hi,
I get alert email with:
Subject: Cron /usr/bin/kcarectl -q --auto-update
Body: The `free` type patch is not found for your kernel. Please select existing patch type
I use the latest cpanel, 90.0.17 and latest centos 7 kernel.
What can I do to solve this?
-
It's a recent bug..they fixed it once but looks like it came back...what does your cron entry says? (etc/cron.d/kcare-cron) 0 -
@eitanc - can you let me know if things are working know after the response that @vacancy posted? 0 -
OK, I run "kcarectl --update --test" twice: 1st: " Patch level 5 applied. Effective kernel version Kernel is safe " 2nd: " Updates already downloaded No updates are needed for this kernel Kernel is safe " If the issue will return - I will post about it here. If all is OK - I will simply keep quiet and you can assume the issue is fixed by this move. Thank you guys! 0 -
The funny thing, btw, is that I do not use cloudlinux, so I it is not clear how this component is active for my cpanel. 0 -
Kernelcare is developed by a cloudlinux. You don't need to use cloudlinux to use kernelcare. You can run the commands below to see if the patch is active. If it returns 1 and 99, the patch is active. sysctl -n fs.enforce_symlinksifowner sysctl -n fs.symlinkown_gid0 -
Yep, I got the replies of 1 and 99, so it should be fine. Thanks! 0 -
I'm glad you were able to get this worked out! 0 -
Well, guys, it came back, the same... what else can I do? 0 -
Here for the same reason except mine is The `extra` type patch is not found for your kernel. Please select existing patch type
I assume because I pay the $3 monthly my patch is different. From the link above at cloudlinux it looks like this should be fixed on Monday.0 -
It does look like this is scheduled to be resolved with a CloudLinux release on Monday, but you can always put in a ticket with our team if you'd like us to check things on our end just for peace of mind :D 0 -
Thanks, but I will avoid bothering you guys and girls and I will wait for the great Monday... Do I need to manually run any command on Monday to get this fix? 0 -
The automatic updates on the system will take care of this so you won't need to do anything, if you have automatic updates enabled. 0 -
Cool, thanks! 0 -
"The `extra` type patch is not found for your kernel. Please select existing patch type" Started back up for me. I just started paying the $3 monthly this past summer so kernel updates would be auto and this is at least the 3rd time there has been a 'problem' similar to this with KernelCare. The quality control of this needs to be stepped up a little in my opinion. One of the main points of KernelCare is updating the kernel unattended/automatically. If a kernel update is available it should only be updating if there is a patch available as well for that updated kernel - right? That and the patch release should be tested before going live. I would think these errors would be easy to avoid yet they keep happening. The last thing that should be happening is a kernel update if a patch doesn't exist or fails. 0 -
@morrow95 it's a bug again which they supposed to fix by now fyi. 0 -

I figured as much. The last time this happened it took a few days for them to update and the problem went away, but here we are again. Stuff like this kind of defeats the purpose of paying for the automatic/unattended ability IMO.0 -
Well it won't affect the purpose I mean if there is a patch available for the kernel it will still patch it but due to the bug if there is no patch the warning message is not being suppressed :( 0 -

Hello @vacancy I did a check with your line of code and see I am active - Just needed to know I just got a server and cents 7 Cpanel and install cloudlinuc Imunify360 and kernel care. CageFS lVE mysql Governor. ' 'so not sure where to find the file that has those 2 Lind in it? - I did look at # nano /etc/sysctl.conf but no luck, can you tell me where I can find the file ? - would it be different if you just have KernelCare and if you have cloudlinux and kernel care ? thanks in advance for your help Spiro0 -

Hello If you are using the Cloudlinux kernel, the symlink patch is activated automatically. Kernelcare symlink protection file location /etc/sysconfig/kcare/sysctl.conf Another alternative way to control kernelcare kernel protection and symlink protection is kcarectl --info command. Installed patches will appear here.0 -
