Hello, Community! AlmaLinux OS is proud to announce AlmaLinux OS 9.0 Beta <https://mirrors.almalinux.org/isos.html> for all 4 architectures: x86_64 <https://mirrors.almalinux.org/isos/x86_64/9.0-beta.html>, aarch64 <https://mirrors.almalinux.org/isos/aarch64/9.0-beta.html>, ppc64le <https://mirrors.almalinux.org/isos/ppc64le/9.0-beta.html> and s390x <https://mirrors.almalinux.org/isos/s390x/9.0-beta.html>, achieving architecture parity with upstream. As this is a *BETA* release it should not be used for production installations. The provided upgrade instructions should not be used on production machines unless you don't mind if something breaks. Now if you wanna test this somehow, somewhere to see how things will work in 9.0 stable, you're on the right track. Cloud Images and Containers Cloud images and containers are in process and we anticipate the first batch to be ready in 1-2 days. Release Notes and More Information AlmaLinux OS 9.0 Beta is based on upstream kernel version 5.14 and contains enhancements around cloud and container development and improvements to the web console. This release also delivers enhancements for security and compliance including additional security profiles. Other various updates include Python 3.9, GCC 11 with the latest versions of LLVM, Rust and Go to make modernizing the applications faster and easier.

AlmaLinux Errata Format
by Alessandro Baggi 16 Apr '22

16 Apr '22

Hi List, currently errata are not present in ML so I'm trying to create a script that help me when a new ALSA/ALBA is released on AlmaLinux Errata. The problem is that the page (https://errata.almalinux.org/index.html) releases data with javascript table (a sort of datables) and if I try to download the page with wget, curl or lynx it reports that JS should be enabled. There is another way to retrieve these data: for example a simple txt.file or other sources? Thank you in advance.

GDM: DisallowTCP
by c.felsch＠gmx.de 03 Apr '22

03 Apr '22

I try to configure GDM on a fresh Alma 8.5 installation to allow local connections to the running Xorg via part 6000. For that, I added "DisallowTCP=false" in section "[security]" of file "/etc/gdm/custom.conf", but this setting is always ignored by GDM. GDM starts Xorg always with the arguments "-nolisten tcp". What do I have to do so that GDM passes the option "-listen tcp" to the started Xorg? Regards, ChrisF682
