AlmaLinux 9 and XFCE sound problem
by Alessandro Baggi 01 Jul '24

01 Jul '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.

AlmaLinux 9.1 Problem on MDADM raid1
by Alessandro Baggi 17 Feb '24

17 Feb '24

Hi Jack, I'm sorry to bother you during holidays. I encountered a strange problem installing AlmaLinux 9.1 on a RAID1 (MDADM) with the current configuration: - /boot/efi on md125 - swap on md126 - / on md127 disks are 2 SSD MLC Type. After the installation, if I reboot the system I get: "md: md125 stopped" (it is printed many times like in a loop) alternated with: "systemd-shutdown[1]: Not all MD devices stopped, 1 left Stopping MD Devices Stopping MD /dev/md125 (9:125)" and the system hangs on this loop until I cut the power. I encountered this issue on my Workstation with Asus Prime Z490-A / i9-10850k. I tried with another workstation that runs on Asus Prime Z370-A / i7 8700K, to exclude bad SATA controller and bad cables. Also on the second workstation the problem is found. I tried to replicate this using 9.0 ISO. The problem does not occur until I update to 9.1 I tried also with 8.7. No problem here. I tried also RockyLinux 9.1 and got the same problem but with different messages: "block device autoconfig is deprecated and will removed" alternated with: "blkdev_get_no_open: 270 callbacks suppressed." To stop the machine I need to cut the power. I tried also Debian 11.5 without problems. So seems that the problem is 9.1 related. Actually I can't test the same with RHEL 9.1 but probably the problem will occour also on RHEL 9.1 There is a way to fix this or I should wait an upgrade? Thank you in advance.

What is syncthing in alma linux
by Patrick Begou 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

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?
