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

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.

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

ssh Xforwarding Not working
by mohammd abedini 05 Dec '25

05 Dec '25

Summary of the X11 Forwarding Issue in AlmaLinux 10 Several users have reported that X11 forwarding no longer works as expected in AlmaLinux 10. This behavior originates from upstream RHEL 10 changes, where legacy X11 components and untrusted forwarding paths have been restricted for security and Wayland-related architectural updates. Common symptoms include: ssh -X / ssh -Y producing no GUI output X11Forwarding yes having no effect Missing or non-functional X11 compatibility packages Wayland defaults interfering with legacy X11 workflows Workarounds: Enable X11 forwarding explicitly in sshd_config Install compatibility packages: xorg-x11-xauth, xorg-x11-apps, xorg-x11-xinit Use a compatible X server on the client Use ssh -Y (trusted forwarding) in secure environments Consider alternatives such as VNC, SPICE, or X2Go for stable graphical access Upstream changes indicate that X11 forwarding is no longer guaranteed to function without additional configuration, and users may need to adjust workflows accordingly.

Alma linux 10 httpd log shows read only file system
by Jerry Geis 04 Dec '25

in /var/log/httpd/error_log it is saying Read-only file system. This is not the case the actual file system is fine. I can "echo 1 > file" just fine. Newly built VM. my CGI seems to be running just fine - as long as I echo to stdout - but when I try to write to a file - I get the above error. What is different on Alma 10 - that to httpd its read-only selinux is turned off. I copied my configs over from Alma 9 which work . and rebooted Thanks Jerry

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.

That got me a little further — reFIND works, it finds the EFI grub image on the Alma USB stick, and it attempts to boot it. Alas, it gets no further than that: I get a message about booting with default grub options of '', and then a white cursor, and nothing further.

Installer on 2012 Mac Mini failing to boot
by Jos 07 Aug '25

07 Aug '25

Hi folks, I'm wrestling with an odd problem in the lab and hoping someone has some insights. I have a 2012 Mac Mini (6,1 - Core i5-3210M) and I'm unable to get Alma installed on it, as I can't get the installer to actually boot. Thus far, this is what I've tried: - Alma DVD or Boot ISO on USB stick: Mac can see the stick as bootable, but selecting to boot results in a black screen. - Ventoy with Alma DVD ISO: Booting in "normal mode" results in the same as above (black screen). However, booting in "grub mode" gets me to the first installer-select screen (install/validate/troubleshoot). Any option selected from there, however, even "install in non-graphical mode", results in a black screen. Doing some searches online, it looks like Macs do something weird with EFI (a Mac doing weird things with partitions — what a shock, right?), so I guess it's possible that's messing with the installer. Oddly, however, a Fedora 42 install stick boots right up and happily installs on the same hardware without any issue. Anyone manage to get this type of hardware working with Alma? TIA, Jos

Autofs: too many open files issue
by Carles Acosta Silva 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

Yes. Changing that file doesn't make sense either. The tftp-server.socket unit is broken. > What are the correct steps for setting up TFTP . The correct steps are fairly simple: # dnf -y install tftp-server # systemctl enable --now tftp.socket That's all what is necessary to get it running. After it's running, make necessary changes if you need something different. But that's done via the standard systemd overrides and not by putting different files with different names into /etc/systemd/system... I would recommend in your current setup to remove those copied files # /bin/rm /etc/systemd/system/tftp-server.service # /bin/rm /etc/systemd/system/tftp-server.socket # systemctl daemon-reload # systemctl enable --now tftp.socket And then check if you can access it... -Gerald

Following up on this, using rmmod to unload the kvm and kvm_intel kernel modules allows VirtualBox to load my virtual machines, but that still begs the question "why did this happen?" Looking at the .config files for the current and older kernels I have on my almalinux machine (5.14.0-503.38.1.el9_5.x86_64, 5.14.0-503.40.1.el9_5.x86_64, and 5.14.0-570.12.1.el9_6.x86_64), I see that CONFIG_X86_VMX_FEATURE_NAMES=y and CONFIG_VMXNET3=m are set in all of them, so why does it fail with VirtualBox only in the latest kernel? And does almalinux support a module blacklist in /etc/modprobe.d to prevent the kvm modules from loading in future reboots? -- -John (JohnDThompson(a)gmail.com) Appleton, WI USA

Setup of default route on multi-homed host
by James Fait 16 May '25

I have a system that is using Almalinux 8.10 that has several active networks for the segregation of traffic according to purpose. Whenever this machine is rebooted, it is random on which interface is selected to be the default route, with two interfaces being selected for default route, only one of which actually connects to the outside network. How can I force that the true default route is always chosen? I have attached the output of the route command before and after deleting the erroneous route. Thanks in advance for your assistance. ## Routing tables after power cycle -- no outside internet access $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 10.57.30.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eno2 default pancho208 0.0.0.0 UG 101 0 0 eno4 10.57.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 100 0 0 eno2 ###.54.208.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 101 0 0 eno4 192.168.122.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 virbr0 $ sudo route del default # delete the first route ## Routing tables with working outside internet $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default pancho208 0.0.0.0 UG 101 0 0 eno4 10.57.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 100 0 0 eno2 ###.54.208.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 101 0 0 eno4 192.168.122.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 virbr0

AlmaLinux Bug fixing process
by Alessandro Baggi 13 May '25

13 May '25

Hi list, I would like to know how works bugfixes on AlmaLinux when a user report a moderate/critical bug. For example, some times ago I found a bug in Debian stable kernel relative to MD devices. I contacted the developer, helped the team with testing to reproduce the issue, testing patches. After some day patch applied on testing and unstable and after ~15 days patch was released on debian stable kernel (wit a backport) and on backports kernel. How works this on AlmaLinux? I know that I can open bugs and help but what about timing on patchs release? I can contact the "kernel team" directly like in Debian? Patch will be released during minor release update or when ready and tested? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Alessandro

About rdma service in Almalinux9
by Patrick Bégou 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

Hi, I'm deploying a small cluster based on Almalinux9 using a dedicated cluster environment. When deploying infiniband support, the provided Ansible scripts try to launch the rdma service and it fails. In my old CentOS8 cluster, rdma-core provides the rdma service startup file /usr/lib/systemd/system/rdma.service in rdma-core-26.0-8.el8 to launch the rdma service In my new Almalinux9 cluster this file is no more provided by rdma-core-51.0-1.el9 And I'm unable to understand if it is no more necessary ("automagically" activated) or if I need an other package by looking at various documentations and https://github.com/linux-rdma/rdma-core. But I'm not very familiar with this stack as usually it works out of the box (so I never delved deeply into the documentation before) Could someone help me to clarify this ? Thanks Patrick

Libvirt SEV support in Kitten

AlmaLinux 9.3 and libvirtd problem
by Alessandro Baggi 23 Oct '24

23 Oct '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.

Cannot login to user account
by Angel Campoverde 22 Oct '24

22 Oct '24

Hi, I am seeing some problems with my alma9 installation. 1. I locked the machine with superkey + l, then I came back and unlocked it. 2. I saw that the upper case keys were on by default and I had to turn on caps-lock to turn back on the lower case keys. 3. The number pad did not show numbers, but the signs you get when you press shift, i.e. !@#$... 4. The arrow keys did not do the arrow thing, but they showed upper case letters, A, F, I do not remember the others. So I restarted. Then I tried to log in but: 1. When I put the right password, It looks like it will log in, because the screen goes black, however it comes back to the login screen without telling me anything else. 2. I know this is not a password issue, because when I put a wrong password, it tells me that the password is wrong. 3. I can log in as root. 4. I can do su - username and log in from there with my normal password. I do not recall doing anything special with the computer. Do you know what might be happening? Cheers.

Kickstart installs with isolinux (insecure boot) fails, same Kickstart works with EFI(secureboot)
by fait＠uga.edu 11 Sep '24

11 Sep '24

I have been working with AlmaLinux 8 for a couple of years using various iterations AlmaLinux 8, with my systems(5 of them) currently using 8.10. I am now in the process of validating install media to move to version 9.4, using kickstart to manage the initial configuration of these hosts. The kickstart file sets up the network,decides the host name, and sets up a complex partitioning scenario. Initially I tested this using secure boot, without any issue. I repeated the same install, on the same hardware, using the same kickstart file, only this time using the legacy boot (insecure). I have verified that this is an issue with insecure boot, as I then did a manual install of a server+graphics, along with development tools, and then took the resulting kickstart file, made the required changes so that the partitioning would work, and then attempted to do a kickstart install using this minimal kickstart, with the same results of success for the EFI boot, and failure with the isolinux boot. I did check, and the two commands to the kernel appear to be identical, but the insecure boot is not able to find the kickstart file. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Anyone found a work-around?

Almalinux 9.4 import LVM VG bug?
by Alessandro Baggi 08 Sep '24

08 Sep '24

Hi list, on my Almalinux 9.4 I tried to import LVM Volume Group from another system. When I attached disks on my workstation, pvscan or vgimport does not found any lvm devices. Reading here: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/lvm-operations-might-fail-on-a-fedor… seems that renaming /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices permits the system to read lvm devices and able to import an existing volume. This is a bug or a wanted behaviour? File system.devices is required? I should restore it? Thank you in advance Alessandro.

RPM creation problem
by Alessandro Baggi 26 Jul '24

26 Jul '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.

OpenSSH policies / system crypto policy equivalence
by Francesco Di Nucci 21 Jun '24

21 Jun '24

Hello, I am trying to write a crypto policy modifier to disable some kex algorithms in OpenSSH (not the one in the example, but the issue is the same). Reading //usr/share/crypto-policies/python/policygenerators/openssh.py/, I find mappings like /'ECDHE-SECP521R1-SHA2-512': 'ecdh-sha2-nistp521'/, so I tried to write in a pmod /key_exchange = -ECDHE-SECP521R1-SHA2-512/ When I try to load it with update-crypto-policies, it fails stating /Bad value of policy property `key_exchange`: `ECDHE-SECP521R1-SHA2-512`/, and in fact If I check //usr/share/crypto-policies/python/cryptopolicies/alg_lists.py, /ECDHE-SECP521R1-SHA2-512 is not defined there. So, how can I disable in OpenSSH kex/algorithms/etc that are defined in //usr/share/crypto-policies/python/policygenerators/openssh.py /but not in //usr/share/crypto-policies/python/cryptopolicies/alg_lists.py?/ Best regards Francesco Di Nucci

Nftables breaks ...
by Werf, C.G. van der (Carel) 17 May '24

17 May '24

LS Updating AlmaLinux 9.3 to 9.4, the package Nftables seems to get upgraded from 1.0.4 to 1.0.9.1 And after the upgrade, netfilter completely blocks any in- and outbound network traffic. Removing version 1.0.9 and reinstalling the Alma9.3-baseos-package nftables-1.0.4 fixes the problem. Could it be that some of the nft-kernel modules aren't loaded by the package ? Anyone any idea ? Regards, Carel

Almalinux and integritysetup speed problem
by Alessandro Baggi 11 Apr '24

11 Apr '24

Hi list, I'm trying on a spare machine dm-integrity with mdadm raid1. This is an old machine (i7-2600k). I'm using 2x500GB wd caviar black SATA3. I'm trying to run some test and see how much performance changes using dm-integrity. First I created a raid1 with mdadm and checked the performances and writing 50G I got 100 MB/s Then I destroied the md device and on every disk I run: # integritysetup format --integrity xxhash64 /dev/sdb1 # integritysetup format --integrity xxhash64 /dev/sdc1 During this process the performances was good ~95MB/s. After this I opened the devices with: # integritysetup open integrity xxhash64 /dev/sdb1 sdb1 # integritysetup open integrity xxhash64 /dev/sdc1 sdc1 and created the mdadm array with: # mdadm --create /dev/md10 --level=raid1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/mapper/sdb1 /dev/mapper/sdc1 and reading on /proc/mdstat I got this: [>....................] resync = 1.1% (4929792/443175424) finish=677.3min speed=10782K/sec Why there is so big drop on speed during the sync? I'm missing something? I'll need 11 hours to sync 2x500GB hdd? Why so slow? Before this I tried the same on a newer machine with i7 8700k and 2x2TB WD gold and I get a drop sync speed at ~35MB/s. There is something that I can do to improve this? Thank you in advance. Alessandro.

Why? They are RHEL binded packages (licenses etc...)? I noticed also that there is a rolling appstream which includes firefox 102 and other app. Is that rolling appstream available for AlmaLinux?

ZFS and AlmaLinux 9.X
by Alessandro Baggi 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

Hi list, I would install ZFS on my backup server. It runs Almalinux 9.3 and actually it saves data on RAID1 MDADM. From what I read I can install ZFS from OpenZFS repositories for EL and choose between kABI tracking or DKMS. I read that using kABI module I will have problem when a new minor release will be released because I must wait that the kABI module from OpenZFS repo team should be built to support the new kernel. Have someone used the kABI module? How many time you need to wait the new module? Are they quick releasing it? The other method is using DKMS, so at every kernel update I need a DKMS recompilation with a possible problem during recompilation. Ok I will have the old module with the previous kernel that will work. How much DKMS recompilation problem occours? What is the best method in your experience? Thank you in advance. Alessandro.

Using bluetooth serial (RFCOMM) on AlmaLinux 9
by Marc Balmer 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

I am running the latest AlmaLinux 9 on a Raspberry Pi 3/4 computer. I want to communication with a Bluetooth device that uses the serial communication (SPP) profile. Using bluetoothctl I see the device, and I pair with it. However, I can not establish the serial link, i.e. I don’t have a /dev/rfcomm0 device to communicate. In other Linux distributions there exists the rfcomm command to connect to a Bluetooth serial device, but in AlmaLinux 9 this is not available. How can I establish a serial link over Bluetooth, then? The rfcomm kernel is present in AlmaLinux 9. Thanks, mb

Help with Listserv on AlmaLinux 8 or 9

Hello Almalinux Users, Glad to find you. This lists.almalinux.org is doing what I'm hoping to set up, Listserv on AlmaLinux. Is there a step by step set-up you can share? Or tips on getting it working? After three days of server rebuilds, I'm getting closer. Got LDAP working on AL9, for example, but wonder if there is a better way, like a working package that just installs everything with prompts. Thanks

XFS and COW operation
by Alessandro Baggi 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

Hi, I read from here https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/xfs/patch/20181110115104.30293-4-hch@l… that I can enable COW on XFS fs but I can't find any switch for always_cow unders sysfs. I'm running AlmaLinux 9.3. Reading the man page of mkfs.xfs I found: "reflink=value This option enables the use of a separate reference count btree index in each allocation group. The value is either 0 to disable the feature, or 1 to create a reference count btree in each allocation group. The reference count btree enables the sharing of physical extents between the data forks of different files, which is commonly known as "reflink". Unlike traditional Unix filesystems which assume that every inode and logical block pair map to a unique physical block, a reflink-capable XFS filesystem removes the uniqueness requirement, allowing up to four billion arbitrary inode/logical block pairs to map to a physical block. If a program tries to write to a multiply-referenced block in a file, the write will be redirected to a new block, and that file's logical-to-physical mapping will be changed to the new block ("copy on write"). This feature enables the creation of per-file snapshots and deduplication. It is only available for the data forks of regular files.By default, mkfs.xfs will create reference count btrees and therefore will enable the reflink feature." This means that using reflink=1 enable COW on the FS and that it is enable by default on fs creation or I'm missing something? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Alessandro.

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.

AlmaLinux 9.3 and SATA controller
by Alessandro Baggi 01 Feb '24

01 Feb '24

Hi, I need to buy a SATA3 PCI-E 3.0 2x controller with 4 or 6 port. It will be installed on my workstation. I need to use AlmaLinux or at least Fedora. Actually I found this: https://www.silverstonetek.com/it/product/info/expansion-cards/ECS06/ but I can't determine if it is supported by the kernel. The chipset is ASMedia ASM1166 (AHCI). I can't find good results on google search. How I can check if the controller is supported? If not what controller do you suggest? 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

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…

Support for Mono vbc.exe
by TTT 22 Aug '23

22 Aug '23

I have installed a variety of mono packages from the repo (as shown below), as well as mono-basic which was part of FC38 repo (to get vbnc.exe). While overall working well, I still need the vbc.exe program. This is part of mono-complete in other distros, but it seem FC/RH family of RPM's don't offer this. Would anyone know how to get vbc.exe into a AlmaLinux 9 system? I'm hoping NOT to recompile the entire mono project just to get that one executable. mono-data-sqlite-6.12.0-5.el9.x86_64 mono-extras-6.12.0-5.el9.x86_64 mono-data-6.12.0-5.el9.x86_64 mono-mvc-6.12.0-5.el9.x86_64 mono-wcf-6.12.0-5.el9.x86_64 mono-web-6.12.0-5.el9.x86_64 mono-core-6.12.0-5.el9.x86_64 mono-winforms-6.12.0-5.el9.x86_64 monodoc-6.12.0-5.el9.x86_64 mono-devel-6.12.0-5.el9.x86_64 mono-basic-4.7-11.fc38.x86_64 mono-winfx-6.12.0-5.el9.x86_64 mono-reactive-6.12.0-5.el9.x86_64 mono-locale-extras-6.12.0-5.el9.x86_64 mono-data-oracle-6.12.0-5.el9.x86_64 mono-complete-6.12.0-5.el9.x86_64
