AlmaLinux 9.3 and libvirtd problem
by Alessandro Baggi 26 Jan '24

26 Jan '24

Hi list, I'm running AlmaLinux 9.3 and I'm running several virtual machines using qemu-kvm and libvirtd ( and virt-manager). 3 VMs starts during system boot (configured with "virsh autostart VMNAME"). All works as expected until I loaded a old vm config file. When I tried to run "systemctl reload libvirtd" I got: "libvirtd.service is not active, cannot reload." It is enable on boot and running "systemctl status libvirtd" I get: Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/libvirtd.service; enabled; preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) since Thu 2024-01-25 16:32:40 CET; 4min 55s ago Duration: 5min 14.530s It reports that it is inactive (really dead) because I can't find it inside process table. Rebooting the system, I found libvirtd process with argument "--timeout=120" and after 120 seconds it dies. Reading libvirtd systemd unit I found Environment=LIBVIRTD_ARGS="--timeout 120" and from the man page I get: "t, --timeout *SECONDS* Exit after timeout period (in seconds), provided there are neither any client connections nor any running domains." Here I found something strange. On boot I have 3 running domains but libvirtd dies after 120 seconds. To load new configuration I need to run restart and virt-manager works without problem also if libvirtd is not running. This is a misconfiguration or it is a bug? Thank you in advance. Alessandro.

RPM creation problem
by Alessandro Baggi 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '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.

Disabling automatic updates
by Patrick Begou 09 Jan '24

09 Jan '24

Hi, I have several Alma Linux 8 and Alma Linux 9 boxes. Some of them (strangely not all) are running automatic updates: - some boxes at boot time - other with a pop-up in a user session (requesting also to reboot). These session are using Gnome or KDE I've done some investigation with google, disabling automatic download for dnf, but automatic updates still occur and I do not found where I can disable this. That looks strange for me is that deployment is kickstarted based with similar kickstart file with the same initial rpm base (then I update all the rpms with dnf) This behaviour is not correct in a professional environment as we must have stable libraries versions and run updates intentionally. Thanks for your help Patrick

AlmaLinux 9 and XFCE sound problem
by Alessandro Baggi 09 Jan '24

09 Jan '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.

Notification for insert of optical disk
by Gerhard Sporer 27 Nov '23

27 Nov '23

Hi there, we did make an upgrade of our headless appliance (a DVD read-roboter) from CentOs 6.9 to AlmaLinux 8.8. CentOS 6.9 did fire a UDEV-notification every time the DVD-Tray did something (insert cd, read CD, eject,...) and we could react on that. AlmaLinux 8.8 now uses systemd, therefore the UDEV-notifications only happen, if the filesystem of the media is correctly identified - which does not happen if for example the media is scratched and therefore not readable. Now there is a CD inside the tray - and we do have no clue. If we use a vanilla AlmaLinux 8.8 with KDE and insert a scratched CD - after some time the CD gets ejected - and we have not found out, which service does this. Is there a possibility to get notified, when a CD is inserted - regardless of the readability. Thanks Gerhard PS: i did post this question in the german-list as well: https://lists.almalinux.org/hyperkitty/list/users-de@lists.almalinux.org/th…
