Email to root not sending
by Neil Aggarwal 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

Hey everyone: I did a fresh install of AlmaLinux 9.1 on a server. I then set the root email address to my admin email address in /etc/aliases and ran newaliases. But, when I send email to root, it does not come to me. I see sendmail is installed on the machine already and I tested outgoing connections to port 25. Any ideas? Thank you, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, (972) 834-1565, http://www.propfinancing.com We offer 30 year loans on single family houses!

AlmaLinux 9.1 and rsync problem
by Alessandro Baggi 13 Apr '23

13 Apr '23

Hey there, I'm using AlmaLinux 9.1 as my backup server using a script. I noticed that if I run: rsync --cc=xxh128.... it reports: unknown checksum name: xxh128 while inside the rsync manual page this checksum is documented. Running rsync --version I get: Checksum list: md5 md4 none Seems that other checksum type where disabled on compilation but reported on documentation. The absence of xxh128/xxh64 is a bug or them are disabled by default on compilation? Thank you in advance.

What is syncthing in alma linux
by Patrick Begou 14 Mar '23

14 Mar '23

I all, on a freshly installed Alma Linux 8.7 I can see a syncthing process communicating over https to a remote unknown server. Syncthing is installed automaticaly but what does this process with the remote server ? (base) bash-4.4$ netstat -puta |grep syncthing tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:35533 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4902/syncthing tcp 0 0 localhost:38257 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4902/syncthing tcp 0 0 xxxxxxxx.legi:kitim 195.219.124.44:https ESTABLISHED 4902/syncthing udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:32779 0.0.0.0:* 4902/syncthing udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:35533 0.0.0.0:* 4902/syncthing udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21027 0.0.0.0:* 4902/syncthing I read it that “Syncthing replaces proprietary sync and cloud services with something open, trustworthy and decentralized. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, if it is shared with some third party and how it's transmitted over the Internet." But I do not want to share my datas! Any details welcome. Patrick

Alma 9 keep server up and running.
by jdwirtz＠cox.net 08 Mar '23

08 Mar '23

How do I keep my server from "sleeping". It shuts down, but power light is still on and nothing will bring it back except power cycling. I've tried everything I can find on disabling sleep and hibernation but it still keeps "sleeping". What good is a web server that doesn't stay up and running?

AlmaLinux on WSL initscripts
by Travis Newton 24 Feb '23

24 Feb '23

Hello, I’m having an issue with Windows 10, WSL, and AlmaLinux 8. WSL is at version 1.0.3.0 so what I am trying to do should work. But since it’s easy to blame Microsoft, I am going to do that for the time being. 😊 I am trying to use systemd within WSL running AlmaLinux. AlmaLinux is fully updated on 8.7. I edited /etc/wsl.conf to include [boot] and setting systemd as true. I’ve restarted WSL (and the Windows computer), and still for the life of me, I cannot get AlmaLinux to load systemd. The fallback should be using initscripts. Obviously, RHEL (so AlmaLinux), have moved to systemd but there is an initscripts package. I installed that and even restarted WSL for good measure, but unfortunately it redirects service to systemctl and then it complains that the system was booted as init and not systemd and it can’t operate. So my question is, has anyone either got systemd working on AlmaLinux under WSL or has anyone got initscripts working? I’ve been Googling this like mad but all I’ve been able to find are articles regarding Ubuntu. Thanks in advance if anyone can provide some insight!

Wine 32bit
by John Thompson 14 Feb '23

Has anybody gotten wine to work in Almalinux-9.1 with 32bit PE executables? I can compile wine-8 for 64bit executable support, but I haven't been able to install a 32-bit development environment for 32-bit support. -- -John (JohnDThompson(a)gmail.com) Appleton, WI USA

WG: Package missing in Podman Module container-tools:rhel8 / container-selinux-2.189.0-1.module_el8.7.0+3344+5bcd850f.noarch.rpm
by Dominik Rutkowski 02 Feb '23

Hello, I just noticed this behavior because of an trivy scan I enabled podman module RHEL8 and installed podman: dnf module enable container-tools:rhel8 dnf install podman rpm -qa podman podman-4.2.0-6.module_el8.7.0+3385+a9526ac7.x86_64 rpm -qa container-selinux container-selinux-2.189.0-1.module_el8.6.0+3336+00d107d5.noarch if I switch to container-tools:4.0 then the correct container-selinux module get installed dnf module switch-to container-tools:4.0 rpm -qa podman podman-4.0.2-8.module_el8.7.0+3344+5bcd850f.x86_64 rpm -qa container-selinux container-selinux-2.189.0-1.module_el8.7.0+3344+5bcd850f.noarch The whole Module "container-tools:rhel8" seems messed up fuse-overlayfs 1.9-1.module_el8.6.0+3070+1510fbd1 get installed, but should be 1.9-1.module_el8.7.0+3344+5bcd850f I cannot replicate it on an RHEL machine, so I don't know if this is an upstream RHEL issue Thanks in advance If you need any more infos, just let me know Greetings Dominik
