AlmaLinux 9 and XFCE sound problem
by Alessandro Baggi 29 Nov '25

29 Nov '25

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.

Autofs: too many open files issue
by Carles Acosta Silva 31 May '25

31 May '25

Hi, We are running AlmaLinux 9.3 on several nodes that normally use autofs to mount different kinds of remote directories. Since the last week, we are seeing these errors: automount[2150866]: open_pipe:161: failed to open pipe: Too many open files And automount stops working. It does not seem that any user has arrived at the maximum number of open files. Do you have any idea where we can look to find a solution? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Carles

Cheers.

Hello, I have been testing Alma Linux Kitten and libvirt is not properly detecting SEV capabilities. Is Libvirt/QEMU compiled without SEV support ? $ dmesg | grep -i sev [ 1.821468] ccp 0000:45:00.1: sev enabled [ 53.414679] kvm_amd: SEV enabled (ASIDs 250 - 509) [ 53.414701] kvm_amd: SEV-ES enabled (ASIDs 1 - 249) [ 53.414720] kvm_amd: SEV-SNP disabled (ASIDs 1 - 249) $ virsh domcapabilities | grep -i sev <sev supported='no'/> $ virt-host-validate QEMU: Checking for hardware virtualization : PASS QEMU: Checking if device '/dev/kvm' exists : PASS QEMU: Checking if device '/dev/kvm' is accessible : PASS QEMU: Checking if device '/dev/vhost-net' exists : PASS QEMU: Checking if device '/dev/net/tun' exists : PASS QEMU: Checking for cgroup 'cpu' controller support : PASS QEMU: Checking for cgroup 'cpuacct' controller support : PASS QEMU: Checking for cgroup 'cpuset' controller support : PASS QEMU: Checking for cgroup 'memory' controller support : PASS QEMU: Checking for cgroup 'devices' controller support : PASS QEMU: Checking for cgroup 'blkio' controller support : PASS QEMU: Checking for device assignment IOMMU support : PASS QEMU: Checking if IOMMU is enabled by kernel : PASS QEMU: Checking for secure guest support : PASS QEMU: Checking for AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Encrypted State (SEV-ES): PASS QEMU: Checking for AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP): PASS
