AlmaLinux 9 and XFCE sound problem
by Alessandro Baggi 09 Jan '24

09 Jan '24

Hey there, I installed Almalinux OS 9 on my notebook. I installed XFCE but I'm getting problem with audio because xfce4-pulseaudio plugin is missing and I can't change sound volume except on the specific program that play the music (In my case audacious and firefox). Currently I don't know if I must open a "please build xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin" on epel or if I should use something due to pipewire. I enabled also epel-testing to check if the package was in testing but seems missing. Someone has the same problem? Thank you in advance.

by Adrian Sevcenco 28 Dec '22

28 Dec '22

Hi! I'm new to Alma (and el9) and i just seen that i cannot install python3-virtualenv.noarch: dnf install python3-virtualenv.noarch Last metadata expiration check: 0:31:21 ago on Fri 23 Dec 2022 01:14:06 AM EET. Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides python3-wheel-wheel needed by python3-virtualenv-20.17.1-1.el9.noarch (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) any idea what could be the problem? is this known? Thanks a lot! Adrian

Migrating Virtualmin Master Server from CentOS 7.9 to AlmaLinux 9.1
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 15 Dec '22

15 Dec '22

Subject: Migrating Virtualmin Master Server from CentOS 7.9 to AlmaLinux 9.1 Good day from Singapore, Author: Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming (TARGETED INDIVIDUAL) Country: Singapore Date: 15 Dec 2022 Thursday I have successfully migrated Virtualmin Master Server from CentOS 7.9 to AlmaLinux 9.1 on 14 Dec 2022 Wed from 4.00 PM to 7.30 PM Singapore Time. Even though I have a fever of 38.5 degrees C on 14 Dec 2022 Wed, I still managed to carry out the migration. As of 15 Dec 2022 Thursday at 4.30 PM, I still have a mild fever of 37.5 degrees C. Below are the detailed instructions. Special thanks to Jamie Cameron at Virtualmin.com for providing guidance. I am not migrating the slave DNS server yet. It is still running CentOS 7.9. DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ====================== SECTION A - Installing Virtualmin 7.0.0 on new AlmaLinux 9.1 VPS ================================================================= # wget https://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh # /bin/sh install.sh Running Virtualmin 7 pre-installation setup: Syncing system time .. .. done Updating CA certificates .. .. done Welcome to the Virtualmin GPL installer, version 7.0.0 This script must be run on a freshly installed supported OS. It does not perform updates or upgrades (use your system package manager) or license changes (use the "virtualmin change-license" command). The systems currently supported by install script are: Red Hat Enterprise Linux and derivatives - RHEL 8 and 9 on x86_64 - Alma and Rocky 8 and 9 on x86_64 - CentOS 7 on x86_64 Debian Linux and derivatives - Debian 10 and 11 on i386 and amd64 - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS on i386 and amd64 If your OS/version/arch is not listed, installation will fail. More details about the systems supported by the script can be found here: https://www.virtualmin.com/os-support The selected package bundle is LAMP and the size of install is full. It will require up to 650 MB of disk space. Exit and re-run this script with --help flag to see available options. Continue?

[SUCCESS] If there were no errors above, Virtualmin should be ready [SUCCESS] to configure at https://vmi1122973.contaboserver.net:10000 (or https://217.76.54.74:10000). [SUCCESS] You may receive a security warning in your browser on your first visit. [SUCCESS] Chromium based browsers, to bypass security warning screen may require [SUCCESS] you to type `thisisunsafe` to get to the login page. Post-Installation Wizard ========================= Introduction ============= This post-installation wizard allows you to configure Virtualmin optimally for your system. You can make selections depending on whether you want to host websites, email or databases, and based on your system's memory and CPU power. To continue, click the Next button below. To skip it and use the default settings, click Cancel. Click Next. Memory use =========== Virtualmin can be tuned to improve performance in its user interface and email processing, but at the cost of increased memory use. The best choice depends on how your system will be used. Preload Virtualmin libraries? Choose Yes, faster UI with more RAM used (≈40M) Run email domain lookup server? Choose Yes, faster mail processing with more RAM used (≈70M) Click Next. If your system is going to host domains that will receive a large amount of email, scanning incoming messages for viruses can generate high CPU load. Because scanning is done using the ClamAV scanning server clamd, it will consume RAM even when not processing email. If your system will not be hosting email, virus scanning can be disabled. Enable virus scanning with ClamAV? Choose Yes, uses up to 2G of RAM Click Next. Spam filtering ================== If your system is going to host domains that will receive a large amount of email, filtering incoming messages for spam can generate significant CPU load. This is due to CPU use by the SpamAssassin mail filter when it is started, which can be avoided by running the SpamAssassin filter server spamd in the background. This consumes RAM, but reduces CPU load and makes mail processing faster. Run SpamAssassin server filter? Choose Yes, faster mail processing with more RAM used (≈30M) and no per-domain settings Click Next. Database servers ================ Virtualmin supports both the MariaDB and PostgreSQL database servers, but you might want to run only one (or neither) on your system. Each consumes RAM when running, even if they are not being used. Depending on the websites and applications you plan to host, running MariaDB only may be enough, as most web applications do not support or require PostgreSQL. If your system will only be used for mail or DNS hosting, there is no need to run either. Run MariaDB database server? Yes Run PostgreSQL database server? No Click Next. MariaDB password ================ To prevent other users on your system from managing the MariaDB database, a password for the root user should be set. Currently the MariaDB password is not set, which is highly insecure. Set MariaDB password: <removed> Click Next. DNS configuration ================== For DNS zones created by Virtualmin to be resolvable, the primary nameserver record for each zone must be set to something that can itself be resolved by other systems on the Internet. Primary nameserver: ns1.turritopsis-dohrnii-teo-en-ming.com Click Skip check for resolvability. Secondary nameservers (optional): ns2.turritopsis-dohrnii-teo-en-ming.com Click Next. All done ========= Virtualmin post-installation configuration is now complete! However, you can continue with the wizard to configure optional features. Click Next. Password storage ================= Virtualmin gives you the option of storing plain-text passwords for virtual servers and mailboxes, or storing only one-way encrypted (hashed) passwords. Plain text passwords are more convenient, but less secure if your system is compromised. However, with hashed passwords enabled, password recovery for virtual servers will not be not possible, and database password for new servers will be different from the administration password, and will be randomly generated. Password storage mode: Only store hashed passwords Click Next. MariaDB database size ====================== MariaDB can be configured to trade off memory use for performance, depending on how much RAM your system has and how heavily you expect the database to be used. MariaDB configuration size: Keep MariaDB system defaults Click Next. SSL key directory ================== Virtualmin gives you the option of keeping SSL certificates and keys in each virtual server's home directory, or another location under /etc. The former is easier to manage, but introduces the risk that server owners may cause your webserver to fail to start if they delete the certificate file. Location for SSL certificates: Per-domain directory under /etc/ssl/virtualmin Click Next. Virtualmin can create a default virtual server that will serve web requests to your system that don't match any other domain. It can also be used to request a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for use by Virtualmin's own UI. Setup default virtual server? No, thanks Click Next. Additional post-installation configuration is now complete! Click Finish. SECTION B - Backing up Virtualmin Virtual Servers on old CentOS 7.9 VPS ======================================================================== Refer to my guide. Reference guide: Have I performed my backups using Virtualmin GUI correctly? Link a: https://sourceforge.net/p/webadmin/mailman/message/37744989/ Link b: https://marc.info/?l=webmin-l&m=167038794008036&w=2 SECTION C - Transferring Backup Files From CentOS 7.9 VPS to AlmaLinux 9.1 VPS =============================================================================== Download all the 20 backup files from CentOS 7.9 Linux server to your laptop using WinSCP. Upload all the 20 backup files from your laptop to AlmaLinux 9.1 server using WinSCP. The backup files should be uploaded to /restore directory on AlmaLinux 9.1 server. SECTION D - Restore Backups in AlmaLinux 9.1 Server ==================================================== Login to Virtualmin. Click Backup and Restore. Click Restore Virtual Servers. Restore Virtual Servers Page ============================= Source and format ================== Restore source: Local file or directory Click and choose /restore Features and settings ===================== Features to restore: Restore all features Virtualmin settings to restore: Select all Other restore options ===================== Re-allocate UIDs and GID: Yes Just re-import server details: No Delete and re-create virtual servers: No IPv4 address for restored servers: Shared, on IP 217.76.54.74 IPv6 address for restored servers: Shared, on IP 2a02:c206:2112:2973:0000:0000:0000:0001 Click Show What Will Be Restored Checking contents of the backup .. .. found 6 virtual servers and 8 global virtualmin settings Information!

Centos 7.9 transition blocked, how to solve??
by just4safe＠hotmail.com 07 Dec '22

07 Dec '22

Hi all, My home desktop machine runs Centos 7.9 Due to the Centos issues I want to migrate to Almalinux (8 or later). I updated Centos 7.9 I found a/the site with the Elevate/Leapp route, so I started there. After making steps as in the description (on that page), in Leapp I did the preupgrade check, and that returns some issues which seem to block the process: >>> start of last part of screen output: Complete! ==> Processing phase `TargetTransactionCheck` ====> * local_repos_inhibit Inhibits the upgrade if local repositories were found. ====> * dnf_transaction_check This actor tries to solve the RPM transaction to verify the all package dependencies can be successfully resolved. Applying transaction workaround - yum config fix Last metadata expiration check: 0:03:06 ago on Sat Dec 3 09:53:09 2022. Process Process-464: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 258, in _bootstrap self.run() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 114, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/leapp/repository/actor_definition.py", line 72, in _do_run actor_instance.run(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/leapp/actors/__init__.py", line 290, in run self.process(*args) File "/usr/share/leapp-repository/repositories/system_upgrade/common/actors/dnftransactioncheck/actor.py", line 44, in process xfs_info=xfs_info, storage_info=storage_info, plugin_info=plugin_info File "/usr/share/leapp-repository/repositories/system_upgrade/common/libraries/dnfplugin.py", line 371, in perform_transaction_check context=context, stage='check', target_repoids=target_repoids, plugin_info=plugin_info, tasks=tasks File "/usr/share/leapp-repository/repositories/system_upgrade/common/libraries/dnfplugin.py", line 219, in _transaction e.stdout = e.stdout.encode('utf-8', 'xmlcharrefreplace') AttributeError: can't set attribute ====================================================================================================== Actor dnf_transaction_check unexpectedly terminated with exit code: 1 - Please check the above details ====================================================================================================== >>> end of screen output. I guess, something in python-2.7 is a problem; I guess, something in leapp-repositories is a problem. and maybe the AttributeError... Being a simple and old Centosuser, I do not know how to solve this. Can any member give the help to overcome this blocking? Note: my Centos 7.9 uses 'yum' and not 'dnf' as a manager.

AlmaLinux 9.1 and SELinux problem
by Alessandro Baggi 07 Dec '22

07 Dec '22

Hi, I'm running AlmaLinux 9.1 on VM to play with SELinux and trying to create a custom policy for an app. This app is written in Python and wait files to be processed (uploaded via sftp from another host). It read data from this file and then save them on postgresql DB. If something is wrong with the data, it will send an email. I followed this: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/ht… Generating a custom policy, a permissive line is inserted in the policy: permissive example_t; that, if I'm not wrong, also if denials are found it runs the policy as permissive. Commenting this line and reload the policy my program does not work anymore and I receive this error: psycopg2.connect(127.0.0.1): could not receive data from server: Permission denied could not send SSL negotiation packet: Permission denied The strange thing is that if I run: # ausearch -m AVC -ts recent I don't receive new denied AVC. I tried also to read PostgreSQL side logs but nothing useful. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance.
