ssh Xforwarding Not working

Summary of the X11 Forwarding Issue in AlmaLinux 10 Several users have reported that X11 forwarding no longer works as expected in AlmaLinux 10. This behavior originates from upstream RHEL 10 changes, where legacy X11 components and untrusted forwarding paths have been restricted for security and Wayland-related architectural updates. Common symptoms include: ssh -X / ssh -Y producing no GUI output X11Forwarding yes having no effect Missing or non-functional X11 compatibility packages Wayland defaults interfering with legacy X11 workflows Workarounds: Enable X11 forwarding explicitly in sshd_config Install compatibility packages: xorg-x11-xauth, xorg-x11-apps, xorg-x11-xinit Use a compatible X server on the client Use ssh -Y (trusted forwarding) in secure environments Consider alternatives such as VNC, SPICE, or X2Go for stable graphical access Upstream changes indicate that X11 forwarding is no longer guaranteed to function without additional configuration, and users may need to adjust workflows accordingly.

Alma linux 10 httpd log shows read only file system
by Jerry Geis 03 Dec '25

in /var/log/httpd/error_log it is saying Read-only file system. This is not the case the actual file system is fine. I can "echo 1 > file" just fine. Newly built VM. my CGI seems to be running just fine - as long as I echo to stdout - but when I try to write to a file - I get the above error. What is different on Alma 10 - that to httpd its read-only selinux is turned off. I copied my configs over from Alma 9 which work . and rebooted Thanks Jerry

Re: Will clearsilver and clearsilver-devel eventually be added to AlmaLinux 10 packages?

clearsilver is a Fedora EPEL package, not a core AlmaLinux package. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/clearsilver See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-package-request/#end_users for how you can request it be built in EPEL 10.

Will clearsilver and clearsilver-devel eventually be added to AlmaLinux 10 packages?
by Marc Balmer 02 Dec '25

In AlmaLInux 8 and 9 there was a clearsilver and a clearsilver-devel package (a HTML templating engine). Our software relies on this, but unfortunately the packages are missing in AlmaLinux 10. Will the eventually be re-added? Thanks, Marc

AlmaLinux 10 httpd cgi permisisons
by Jerry Geis 01 Dec '25

I have AlmaLinux 9 running just fine I am trying to setup AlmaLinux 10 the same way. I used the same config files for httpd I am running httpd SuexecUserGroup as a different user and group - just like 9. however I am getting an error on 10 that I cannot write to a file. the file is in my allowed conf files httpd is running as Apache My cgi script does ALLOW me to call whoami - and it shows my user correctly ALL my files and log files are owned by my user and writable. Is there something different in 10 that I need? Thank you Jerry

Hello, I think that the openldap-server package is missing in the Almainux 10.1 OS. Am I right? Thank you in advance for your help. Regards: István
