OpenStack RPMs - Call for packaging volunteers
by Francesco Di Nucci 16 Mar '26

16 Mar '26

Hi all, the RDO Project[0], that provided OpenStack RPM packages through the CentOS Cloud SIG, is switching to a container-based approach due to lack of maintainers.[1] This means *there will be no more RPM packages for OpenStack versions after 2025.1/Epoxy unless new maintainers come up*. *This is a call across the EL and OpenStack communities for volunteer maintainers of RPM build pipelines*. If you're interested you can: * Add your name to the dedicated Etherpad (https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/rdo-volunteers) * Register to the RDO devs mailing list (dev(a)lists.rdoproject.org) and ask for more information No previous experience with packaging/pipelines is required, just willingness to learn /Note: this email is being separately to different mailing lists. If you have subscribed to more than one and recieve it multiple times, sorry for the duplication./ Links [0] https://www.rdoproject.org/ [1] https://lists.rdoproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.rdoproject.org/threa… Francesco, another OpenStack on EL operator -- Francesco Di Nucci System Administrator Compute & Networking Service, INFN Naples Email:francesco.dinucci@na.infn.it

Access db slow
by Nikos Gatsis 03 Mar '26

Hello. I have a 8.10 version as a file server and 4.19 samba on a gigabit local network. Although coping on network is fast, accessing Access db files, is slow. The same files on a common win 11 pc is very fast. I try socket options in smb.conf but the performance is worse. Is there a suggestion? Thank you in advance. Nikos.

Re: AlmaLinux 9.7 Firefox slow to launch

> Is there a way that I can > troubleshoot this and possibly get Firefox to load up more easily? Try launching firefox from the command line and see if any interesting errors show up. When launching things via GUI stderr and stdout either go to some obscure log or into the null device. Check your syslog (messages) too. 8gb isn't a lot of RAM these days; the syslog will show if the OOM killer is coming into play. - Bluejay Adametz "Although I must endure the unchangeable, I also am obligated to change the unendurable." - Aaron B.

AlmaLinux 9.7 Firefox slow to launch
by Paul Graff 17 Jan '26

17 Jan '26

Hi, on a machine with AlmaLinux 9.7 installed with KDE Desktop Environment. It seems that once the KDE DE is loaded and if/when Firefox is launched it just takes a long time (30 seconds or so), almost like it fails to launch. Multiple launch attempts can be made and eventually Firefox does launch but in most cases then other instances that launch need to be closed (due to multiple launch attempts). I do not know why this is. The machine is a Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 72e small with 8GiB memory and a SSD installed. Is there a way that I can troubleshoot this and possibly get Firefox to load up more easily? -Thanks

It hasn't been built for EPEL10 yet but there is an open request for it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2384310 fastfetch is nice.
