RPM creation problem
by Alessandro Baggi 25 Jul '24

25 Jul '24

Hi list, I'm creating an RPM package for gocryptfs on AlmaLinux 9.3 I'm using the source with deps (vendoring) because deps are too much. During the process rpmbuild returns: gocryptfs-debugsource-2.4.0-1.el9.x86_64 error: Empty %files file /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/gocryptfs_v2.4.0_src-deps/debugsourcefiles.list To avoid this I can add: %global debug_package %{nil} and the problem is solved also if the build-id links are generated. But, here there is a problem. I read that for $arch packages a debug package will be created and if some error is reported there is something wrong on the SPEC file. Why debugsourcefiles.list is empty? What is causing this? Thank you in advance. Alessandro.

AlmaLinux 9 and XFCE sound problem
by Alessandro Baggi 01 Jul '24

01 Jul '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.

AlmaLinux Appstream
by Alessandro Baggi 09 Apr '24

09 Apr '24

Hi list, I've noticed that RHEL has several type of appstream: RHEL 9 Application Streams Release Life Cycle RHEL 9 Full Life Application Streams Release Life Cycle RHEL 9 Rolling Application Streams Release Life Cycle from here: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhel-app-streams-life-cycl… I noticed that in application streams there less software that in AlmaLinux appstream. Why? They are RHEL binded packages (licenses etc...)? I noticed also that there is a rolling appstream which includes firefox 102 and other app. Is that rolling appstream available for AlmaLinux? Thank you in advance

Kernel panic booting Alma 9.2 and 9.3 on 9.3 VM with defaults
by Benjamin Smith 12 Mar '24

I'm trying to get a VM of Alma 9 running on a fully updated Alma 9 host. It's really simple: 1) I start virt-manager 2) Add machine, default settings, click "next... next..." * Local install media /home/AlmaLinux-9.3-x86_64-minimal.iso [X] Automatically detect from installation media/source * 1536 memory, 2 CPUs (default) * 20 GB storage (default) * Name: almalinux9 (default) 3) When it boots, I choose "Install AlmaLinux...." 4) Kernel panics! See attached screenshot result. What am I missing? Hopefully useful information to follow, screenshot attached. Host has 16 GB RAM and the following cpu. processor : 7 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 60 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz stepping : 3 microcode : 0x28 cpu MHz : 3955.493 cache size : 8192 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 8 core id : 3 cpu cores : 4 apicid : 7 initial apicid : 7 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 13 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx pdpe1gb rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc cpuid aperfmperf pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl smx est tm2 ssse3 sdbg fma cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic movbe popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx f16c rdrand lahf_lm abm cpuid_fault epb invpcid_single pti ssbd ibrs ibpb stibp fsgsbase tsc_adjust bmi1 avx2 smep bmi2 erms invpcid xsaveopt dtherm ida arat pln pts md_clear flush_l1d bugs : cpu_meltdown spectre_v1 spectre_v2 spec_store_bypass l1tf mds swapgs itlb_multihit srbds mmio_unknown bogomips : 7183.66 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 39 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management:

XFS and COW operation
by Alessandro Baggi 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

Hi, I read from here https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/xfs/patch/20181110115104.30293-4-hch@l… that I can enable COW on XFS fs but I can't find any switch for always_cow unders sysfs. I'm running AlmaLinux 9.3. Reading the man page of mkfs.xfs I found: "reflink=value This option enables the use of a separate reference count btree index in each allocation group. The value is either 0 to disable the feature, or 1 to create a reference count btree in each allocation group. The reference count btree enables the sharing of physical extents between the data forks of different files, which is commonly known as "reflink". Unlike traditional Unix filesystems which assume that every inode and logical block pair map to a unique physical block, a reflink-capable XFS filesystem removes the uniqueness requirement, allowing up to four billion arbitrary inode/logical block pairs to map to a physical block. If a program tries to write to a multiply-referenced block in a file, the write will be redirected to a new block, and that file's logical-to-physical mapping will be changed to the new block ("copy on write"). This feature enables the creation of per-file snapshots and deduplication. It is only available for the data forks of regular files.By default, mkfs.xfs will create reference count btrees and therefore will enable the reflink feature." This means that using reflink=1 enable COW on the FS and that it is enable by default on fs creation or I'm missing something? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Alessandro.

AlmaLinux 9.1 Problem on MDADM raid1
by Alessandro Baggi 17 Feb '24

17 Feb '24

Hi Jack, I'm sorry to bother you during holidays. I encountered a strange problem installing AlmaLinux 9.1 on a RAID1 (MDADM) with the current configuration: - /boot/efi on md125 - swap on md126 - / on md127 disks are 2 SSD MLC Type. After the installation, if I reboot the system I get: "md: md125 stopped" (it is printed many times like in a loop) alternated with: "systemd-shutdown[1]: Not all MD devices stopped, 1 left Stopping MD Devices Stopping MD /dev/md125 (9:125)" and the system hangs on this loop until I cut the power. I encountered this issue on my Workstation with Asus Prime Z490-A / i9-10850k. I tried with another workstation that runs on Asus Prime Z370-A / i7 8700K, to exclude bad SATA controller and bad cables. Also on the second workstation the problem is found. I tried to replicate this using 9.0 ISO. The problem does not occur until I update to 9.1 I tried also with 8.7. No problem here. I tried also RockyLinux 9.1 and got the same problem but with different messages: "block device autoconfig is deprecated and will removed" alternated with: "blkdev_get_no_open: 270 callbacks suppressed." To stop the machine I need to cut the power. I tried also Debian 11.5 without problems. So seems that the problem is 9.1 related. Actually I can't test the same with RHEL 9.1 but probably the problem will occour also on RHEL 9.1 There is a way to fix this or I should wait an upgrade? Thank you in advance.
