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.

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.
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
