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 21 Aug '23

21 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

by nicklesteele532＠gmail.com 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

Use your computer to play Rally Racer EVO. Getting your driver's license is a must before joining any group or even driving a car or other vehicle. Similarly, in Rally Racer EVO, you will need to do the same. Getting your driver's license is Step One on the Road to the Ultimate Rally Racing Experience. If you want to get into the exciting world of rally racing, you'll need to enroll in one of 32 different licensing classes. If you want to be a genuine driver, you need to finish them as quickly as possible. Once you've obtained your driver's license, you may enter Events Mode and compete in over eighty-five different races. Compete in six different races to prove your mettle as a rally racer. Rally racing prowess may also be shown in the game's Arena Mode. You'll want to practice your drifting talents in this mode. There are four different game modes to try out, and no matter which one you choose, you'll have a great time showing off your driving talents. Supercars That Feel Like the Real Thing Rally Racer EVO has not just many game modes, but also a garage full of actual supercars from which to choose. Additionally, these automobiles may be made even more potent by upgrading and experimenting with the available modification choices. Your supercar may be customized to reflect your own taste. This racing game is already fantastic, but it's much better since it has 12 beautiful circuits that can be customized for different weather and lighting circumstances. Realistic physics and handling, like you'd experience in a physical automobile, are also readily apparent. The visuals and audio in this game have been finely tuned to enhance the realism of the experience. Connect: https://backroomsgame.io

Tips and tricks to master in 1v1 lol
by noteminnow＠gmail.com 28 Jun '23

28 Jun '23

Tip 1 It's simply how to fire without using your crosshairs. Just shooting near your opponent will ensure that your bullets strike them. It doesn't even have to be turned on, and your crosshair may be close to them. You don't have to aim at them for it to strike them perfectly. This will come in handy if you shock them once and then use your AR. Larger bullets spread so that even if you miss a little bit, you still strike them, and it's a strong technique to achieve this, so take use of it. Tip 2 So, essentially, you have to create a floor then spam leap if you're building up and your opponent puts a ramp above you. Tip 3 To begin, ensure that school is turned on, then construct a wall, go to the opposite side of the wall, and scroll. We'll simply scroll the wheel and you'll walk right through the wall, so when you approach it, just scroll the wheel up or down and you'll walk right through it. This is similar to breaking past barriers in a competitive game. Tip 4 There are several methods to personalize your name, and most of them are simple. To begin, how do you alter the color of your name? You will put "color= + "name of color you want" + >" + "your name" (Example: color=red> Pete). Second, change the size. Write "size= + "a number you want" + >" + your name" (Example: size=15> Pete). The next step is to make this form bold: "b> + your name". You can also make your name italics and underlined by typing I + your name" and "u> + your name" in the appropriate fields. Tip 5 It's extremely simple to float in 1v1 lol, but not everyone knows how. All you have to do is left-click and spam G! The material shown here has been gathered and compiled to provide you with a general knowledge of the game. https://1v1-lol.io

Introducing AlmaLinux Accounts
by Jonathan Wright 04 May '23

04 May '23

Over the past few months, our infrastructure team <https://wiki.almalinux.org/sigs/Infrastructure.html> has been hard at work preparing our single sign-on system that will provide a unified login experience to nearly all AlmaLinux websites and properties. We are happy to announce the launch of https://accounts.almalinux.org! AlmaLinux Accounts <https://accounts.almalinux.org> will give you a single account to use across the array of sites and services offered by AlmaLinux! In addition it eases the process of onboarding new contributors through centralized groups and permissions. Why? Introducing our Single Sign-On (SSO) system offers numerous benefits for both users and the AlmaLinux OS Foundation. SSO enhances security, streamlines access, and simplifies user management across our ecosystem. With a single set of credentials, users can seamlessly navigate all AlmaLinux websites and services. This unified login experience ultimately boosts productivity, fosters collaboration, and provides a more cohesive and personalized experience for our community. Software Stack In the spirit of FOSS, it was only natural for us to stick with a free and open-source software stack. The chosen components should be familiar to anyone who has dealt with directory management or SSO in the Enterprise Linux space. We took inspiration from Fedora’s account system for some components. We have chosen the following FOSS components to power our SSO: - FreeIPA <https://www.freeipa.org> for directory and user management. - Noggin <https://github.com/fedora-infra/noggin>, a web front-end for user self-service. We’ve been doing work in the Fedora project to get noggin and its dependencies added to EPEL 9. This will benefit anyone looking to deploy noggin on RHEL 9 or RHEL 9 compatible distros. 1 - Keycloak <https://www.keycloak.org/>, an OpenID Connect system to sit between applications and LDAP. We’ve started contributing to a playbook mostly maintained by RHEL engineers to help ease the deployment of Keycloak on EL distros. 2 What About My Existing Account(s)? We have a transition plan for the next few weeks to get all systems fully supporting our AlmaLinux Accounts <https://accounts.almalinux.org> and all existing accounts transitioned into the system, or otherwise integrated. chat.almalinux.org (Mattermost) chat.almalinux.org is the single largest standalone user database we have to transition. Luckily this is a very easy and painless task for us as well as users. After you’ve created your AlmaLinux Account <https://accounts.almalinux.org>, navigate to the Profile -> Security section in Mattermost. [image: Step 1 of converting MatterMost account to use AlmaLinux Accounts] From here click on Edit next to Sign-in Method and then Switch to Using OpenID SSO and you can link your new AlmaLinux account. *Keep in mind that once you link your account you will always use your AlmaLinux account to sign in to chat.almalinux.org <http://chat.almalinux.org>.* [image: Step 2 of associating chat.almalinux.org account with AlmaLinux Accounts] On the next screen enter your current chat.almalinux.org (Mattermost) password. [image: Step 3 of associating chat.almalinux.org account with AlmaLinux Accounts]) Finally, log in using your AlmaLinux Account details. [image: Step 4 of associating chat.almalinux.org account with AlmaLinux Accounts] From now on when you log in to chat.almalinux.org you will use your AlmaLinux Account via the dedicated login button: [image: How to log in to chat.almalinux.org/Mattermost with AlmaLinux Accounts] bugs.almalinux.org All existing users on bugs.almalinux.org have been imported as AlmaLinux Accounts. You can gain access to the account by requesting a password reset at https://accounts.almalinux.org/forgot-password/ask using your username. git.almalinux.org git.almalinux.org was originally setup with only GitHub as an authentication source. This is now disabled and you must use your AlmaLinux Account to log in. If you wish to recover your previous git.almalinux.org account send an email to account-merge(a)almalinux.org from the address tied to your GitHub and AlmaLinux accounts and we can tie them together for you. lists.almalinux.org lists.almalinux.org has been tied into AlmaLinux Accounts <https://accounts.almalinux.org> for a few weeks now. Existing lists accounts can be linked to AlmaLinux Accounts seamlessly. Login option for new accounts: [image: Step 1 of associating lists.almalinux.org account with AlmaLinux Accounts] Tie your existing account to your AlmaLinux Account at https://lists.almalinux.org/accounts/social/connections/: [image: Step 2 of associating lists.almalinux.org account with AlmaLinux Accounts] pes.almalinux.org The Package Evolution Service (PES) will be updated with OIDC support, and subsequently AlmaLinux Account support soon. build.almalinux.org The AlmaLinux Build System (ALBS) will be updated with OIDC support, and subsequently AlmaLinux Account support soon. Other There are various other services used by contributors which are mostly tied into AlmaLinux Accounts already with a few to follow soon. Frequently Asked Questions *Q:* I configured 2FA/OTP at https://accounts.almalinux.org but *service/site XYZ* does not have a field for my OTP on the login page. *A:* All sites tied to AlmaLinux Accounts <https://accounts.almalinux.org> support your 2FA/OTP. Simply add it to the end of your password in the password field when logging in. For example if your password is hunter2 and your OTP is 123456 you would enter hunter2123456 into the password field. *Q:* Where should I go for help? *A:* The Infrastructure Channel on Mattermost <https://chat.almalinux.org/almalinux/channels/infrastructure>, IRC <https://web.libera.chat/#almalinux-infrastructure>, mailing list <https://lists.almalinux.org/mailman3/lists/infra.lists.almalinux.org/>. *Q:* Where can I use my AlmaLinux Account <https://accounts.almalinux.org>? *A: *See the table in the blog post <https://almalinux.org/blog/almalinux-accounts-launch/#frequently-asked-ques…> . ------------------------------ 1 *https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-b0e8a9d618 <https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-b0e8a9d618>* *https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-cfcb055a9f <https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-cfcb055a9f>* *https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-fdfb8a6342 <https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-fdfb8a6342>* *https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-3b54948adb <https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-3b54948adb>* *https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-46e518d693 <https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-46e518d693>* *https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-607e3d35c7 <https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-607e3d35c7>* *https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-6215554ad9 <https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-6215554ad9>* *https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2174923 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2174923>* 2 *https://github.com/ansible-middleware/keycloak/pull/73 <https://github.com/ansible-middleware/keycloak/pull/73>* --- Jonathan Wright AlmaLinux Foundation Mattermost: chat <https://chat.almalinux.org/almalinux/messages/@jonathan>

Email to root not sending

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?

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

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!

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!

LSRRB (Linux Software Raid Redundant Boot)
by Robert Moskowitz 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

I have a new HPE Prioliant gen10plus that I will be setting up with RAID1. I have been asking questions on the Centos-user list, but my plan is to install AlmaLinux 9.1 And I have been following comments about problems with RAID support in it. Meanwhile in my digging into RAID on my gen10+ install I find: https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/project/lsrrb/ And lsrrb. It is available for RH8. Can I get it to work with AL9.1? should I for a single server? It seems to use PXE, TFTP, and kickstart. A lot of work, is it worth it? Or is there a short cut? thanks for any help you can provide.

mail server platform
by Robert Moskowitz 02 Jan '23

02 Jan '23

Past time to upgrade my email server I run my own setup with RedSleeve6-arm. I never successfully got the Centos7-arm working, but if interested you can see what I was doing at: http://medon.htt-consult.com/Centos7-mailserver.html I want something as turnkey as possible with RAID1 drives. So first level question is a small Almalinux platform with RAID. Will have to be Intel, not ARM, as the mail software tends to be Intel. I do want low power. Note my network server is a little, low-power QNAP TS-230 and I had to replace a drive with errors, so I am sold on RAID. Thus first a recommendation on a platform. 4TB drives would be overkill for my mail needs. Then email software. My current setup is file-based messages. So I have to think about that for any migration, but I SO want out of maintaining the software myself. Running an updater is all I want at this age (now 72). I found: https://geekflare.com/self-hosted-email-server/ And iRedMail looks interestingly easy for me. Modoboa looks a little harder. Mail will be the ONLY think on this system, so I should not need any docker setups. Anyone can point me where to get going? thanks

Migrating Virtualmin Master Server from CentOS 7.9 to AlmaLinux 9.1
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 15 Dec '22

15 Dec '22

Subject: Migrating Virtualmin Master Server from CentOS 7.9 to AlmaLinux 9.1 Good day from Singapore, Author: Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming (TARGETED INDIVIDUAL) Country: Singapore Date: 15 Dec 2022 Thursday I have successfully migrated Virtualmin Master Server from CentOS 7.9 to AlmaLinux 9.1 on 14 Dec 2022 Wed from 4.00 PM to 7.30 PM Singapore Time. Even though I have a fever of 38.5 degrees C on 14 Dec 2022 Wed, I still managed to carry out the migration. As of 15 Dec 2022 Thursday at 4.30 PM, I still have a mild fever of 37.5 degrees C. Below are the detailed instructions. Special thanks to Jamie Cameron at Virtualmin.com for providing guidance. I am not migrating the slave DNS server yet. It is still running CentOS 7.9. DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ====================== SECTION A - Installing Virtualmin 7.0.0 on new AlmaLinux 9.1 VPS ================================================================= # wget https://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh # /bin/sh install.sh Running Virtualmin 7 pre-installation setup: Syncing system time .. .. done Updating CA certificates .. .. done Welcome to the Virtualmin GPL installer, version 7.0.0 This script must be run on a freshly installed supported OS. It does not perform updates or upgrades (use your system package manager) or license changes (use the "virtualmin change-license" command). The systems currently supported by install script are: Red Hat Enterprise Linux and derivatives - RHEL 8 and 9 on x86_64 - Alma and Rocky 8 and 9 on x86_64 - CentOS 7 on x86_64 Debian Linux and derivatives - Debian 10 and 11 on i386 and amd64 - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS on i386 and amd64 If your OS/version/arch is not listed, installation will fail. More details about the systems supported by the script can be found here: https://www.virtualmin.com/os-support The selected package bundle is LAMP and the size of install is full. It will require up to 650 MB of disk space. Exit and re-run this script with --help flag to see available options. Continue?

[SUCCESS] If there were no errors above, Virtualmin should be ready [SUCCESS] to configure at https://vmi1122973.contaboserver.net:10000 (or https://217.76.54.74:10000) [SUCCESS] You may receive a security warning in your browser on your first visit. [SUCCESS] Chromium based browsers, to bypass security warning screen may require [SUCCESS] you to type `thisisunsafe` to get to the login page. Post-Installation Wizard ========================= Introduction ============= This post-installation wizard allows you to configure Virtualmin optimally for your system. You can make selections depending on whether you want to host websites, email or databases, and based on your system's memory and CPU power. To continue, click the Next button below. To skip it and use the default settings, click Cancel. Click Next. Memory use =========== Virtualmin can be tuned to improve performance in its user interface and email processing, but at the cost of increased memory use. The best choice depends on how your system will be used. Preload Virtualmin libraries? Choose Yes, faster UI with more RAM used (≈40M) Run email domain lookup server? Choose Yes, faster mail processing with more RAM used (≈70M) Click Next. If your system is going to host domains that will receive a large amount of email, scanning incoming messages for viruses can generate high CPU load. Because scanning is done using the ClamAV scanning server clamd, it will consume RAM even when not processing email. If your system will not be hosting email, virus scanning can be disabled. Enable virus scanning with ClamAV? Choose Yes, uses up to 2G of RAM Click Next. Spam filtering ================== If your system is going to host domains that will receive a large amount of email, filtering incoming messages for spam can generate significant CPU load. This is due to CPU use by the SpamAssassin mail filter when it is started, which can be avoided by running the SpamAssassin filter server spamd in the background. This consumes RAM, but reduces CPU load and makes mail processing faster. Run SpamAssassin server filter? Choose Yes, faster mail processing with more RAM used (≈30M) and no per-domain settings Click Next. Database servers ================ Virtualmin supports both the MariaDB and PostgreSQL database servers, but you might want to run only one (or neither) on your system. Each consumes RAM when running, even if they are not being used. Depending on the websites and applications you plan to host, running MariaDB only may be enough, as most web applications do not support or require PostgreSQL. If your system will only be used for mail or DNS hosting, there is no need to run either. Run MariaDB database server? Yes Run PostgreSQL database server? No Click Next. MariaDB password ================ To prevent other users on your system from managing the MariaDB database, a password for the root user should be set. Currently the MariaDB password is not set, which is highly insecure. Set MariaDB password: <removed> Click Next. DNS configuration ================== For DNS zones created by Virtualmin to be resolvable, the primary nameserver record for each zone must be set to something that can itself be resolved by other systems on the Internet. Primary nameserver: ns1.turritopsis-dohrnii-teo-en-ming.com Click Skip check for resolvability. Secondary nameservers (optional): ns2.turritopsis-dohrnii-teo-en-ming.com Click Next. All done ========= Virtualmin post-installation configuration is now complete! However, you can continue with the wizard to configure optional features. Click Next. Password storage ================= Virtualmin gives you the option of storing plain-text passwords for virtual servers and mailboxes, or storing only one-way encrypted (hashed) passwords. Plain text passwords are more convenient, but less secure if your system is compromised. However, with hashed passwords enabled, password recovery for virtual servers will not be not possible, and database password for new servers will be different from the administration password, and will be randomly generated. Password storage mode: Only store hashed passwords Click Next. MariaDB database size ====================== MariaDB can be configured to trade off memory use for performance, depending on how much RAM your system has and how heavily you expect the database to be used. MariaDB configuration size: Keep MariaDB system defaults Click Next. SSL key directory ================== Virtualmin gives you the option of keeping SSL certificates and keys in each virtual server's home directory, or another location under /etc. The former is easier to manage, but introduces the risk that server owners may cause your webserver to fail to start if they delete the certificate file. Location for SSL certificates: Per-domain directory under /etc/ssl/virtualmin Click Next. Virtualmin can create a default virtual server that will serve web requests to your system that don't match any other domain. It can also be used to request a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for use by Virtualmin's own UI. Setup default virtual server? No, thanks Click Next. Additional post-installation configuration is now complete! Click Finish. SECTION B - Backing up Virtualmin Virtual Servers on old CentOS 7.9 VPS ======================================================================== Refer to my guide. Reference guide: Have I performed my backups using Virtualmin GUI correctly? Link a: https://sourceforge.net/p/webadmin/mailman/message/37744989/ Link b: https://marc.info/?l=webmin-l&m=167038794008036&w=2 SECTION C - Transferring Backup Files From CentOS 7.9 VPS to AlmaLinux 9.1 VPS =============================================================================== Download all the 20 backup files from CentOS 7.9 Linux server to your laptop using WinSCP. Upload all the 20 backup files from your laptop to AlmaLinux 9.1 server using WinSCP. The backup files should be uploaded to /restore directory on AlmaLinux 9.1 server. SECTION D - Restore Backups in AlmaLinux 9.1 Server ==================================================== Login to Virtualmin. Click Backup and Restore. Click Restore Virtual Servers. Restore Virtual Servers Page ============================= Source and format ================== Restore source: Local file or directory Click and choose /restore Features and settings ===================== Features to restore: Restore all features Virtualmin settings to restore: Select all Other restore options ===================== Re-allocate UIDs and GID: Yes Just re-import server details: No Delete and re-create virtual servers: No IPv4 address for restored servers: Shared, on IP 217.76.54.74 IPv6 address for restored servers: Shared, on IP 2a02:c206:2112:2973:0000:0000:0000:0001 Click Show What Will Be Restored Checking contents of the backup .. .. found 6 virtual servers and 8 global virtualmin settings Information!

Centos 7.9 transition blocked, how to solve??
by just4safe＠hotmail.com 07 Dec '22

07 Dec '22

Hi all, My home desktop machine runs Centos 7.9 Due to the Centos issues I want to migrate to Almalinux (8 or later). I updated Centos 7.9 I found a/the site with the Elevate/Leapp route, so I started there. After making steps as in the description (on that page), in Leapp I did the preupgrade check, and that returns some issues which seem to block the process: >>> start of last part of screen output: Complete! ==> Processing phase `TargetTransactionCheck` ====> * local_repos_inhibit Inhibits the upgrade if local repositories were found. ====> * dnf_transaction_check This actor tries to solve the RPM transaction to verify the all package dependencies can be successfully resolved. Applying transaction workaround - yum config fix Last metadata expiration check: 0:03:06 ago on Sat Dec 3 09:53:09 2022. Process Process-464: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 258, in _bootstrap self.run() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 114, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/leapp/repository/actor_definition.py", line 72, in _do_run actor_instance.run(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/leapp/actors/__init__.py", line 290, in run self.process(*args) File "/usr/share/leapp-repository/repositories/system_upgrade/common/actors/dnftransactioncheck/actor.py", line 44, in process xfs_info=xfs_info, storage_info=storage_info, plugin_info=plugin_info File "/usr/share/leapp-repository/repositories/system_upgrade/common/libraries/dnfplugin.py", line 371, in perform_transaction_check context=context, stage='check', target_repoids=target_repoids, plugin_info=plugin_info, tasks=tasks File "/usr/share/leapp-repository/repositories/system_upgrade/common/libraries/dnfplugin.py", line 219, in _transaction e.stdout = e.stdout.encode('utf-8', 'xmlcharrefreplace') AttributeError: can't set attribute ====================================================================================================== Actor dnf_transaction_check unexpectedly terminated with exit code: 1 - Please check the above details ====================================================================================================== >>> end of screen output. I guess, something in python-2.7 is a problem; I guess, something in leapp-repositories is a problem. and maybe the AttributeError... Being a simple and old Centosuser, I do not know how to solve this. Can any member give the help to overcome this blocking? Note: my Centos 7.9 uses 'yum' and not 'dnf' as a manager.

AlmaLinux 9.1 and SELinux problem
by Alessandro Baggi 07 Dec '22

07 Dec '22

Hi, I'm running AlmaLinux 9.1 on VM to play with SELinux and trying to create a custom policy for an app. This app is written in Python and wait files to be processed (uploaded via sftp from another host). It read data from this file and then save them on postgresql DB. If something is wrong with the data, it will send an email. I followed this: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/ht… Generating a custom policy, a permissive line is inserted in the policy: permissive example_t; that, if I'm not wrong, also if denials are found it runs the policy as permissive. Commenting this line and reload the policy my program does not work anymore and I receive this error: psycopg2.connect(127.0.0.1): could not receive data from server: Permission denied could not send SSL negotiation packet: Permission denied The strange thing is that if I run: # ausearch -m AVC -ts recent I don't receive new denied AVC. I tried also to read PostgreSQL side logs but nothing useful. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance.

I think you may have saved my day. You mean I can make full and complete backups of my web hosting control panel using the Virtualmin GUI web interface in CentOS 7.9 and restore the backups on the fresh new installation of AlmaLinux 9.1/Virtualmin server? That means I do not need to make a clone of my CentOS 7.9 linux server and run Elevate tool already. I can simply make a fresh new installation of both AlmaLinux 9.1 and Virtualmin on a brand new server. No migration needed and no headaches and complications. Thank you.

Can I use the Elevate tool to migrate my CentOS 7.9 with Virtualmin/Webmin to AlmaLinux 9.0?
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

Subject: Can I use the Elevate tool to migrate my CentOS 7.9 with Virtualmin/Webmin to AlmaLinux 9.0? Good day from Singapore, I understand both CentOS Linux and AlmaLinux follow Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). I have 2 CentOS 7.9 Linux virtual private servers (VPS) in Europe. They are running Virtualmin/Webmin web hosting control panel in master and slave configuration. Unfortunately, the end of life (EOL) date for CentOS 7.9 is 30 June 2024, which is less than 2 years away. Can I use the Elevate tool to migrate my CentOS 7.9 with Virtualmin/Webmin to AlmaLinux 9.0? Is it technically impossible or will result in too many complications? Should I install AlmaLinux 9.0 from fresh and then install Virtualmin instead? If I choose this route, I will need to ask Virtualmin developers how I can migrate the web hosting control panel from CentOS 7.9 to AlmaLinux 9.0. Please advise. Thank you.

started cancel waiting for multipath siblings of nvme0n1
by Patrick Begou 27 Sep '22

27 Sep '22

Hi, I'm unable tu run a PXE boot + Kickstart based install for Alma Linux 8.6 on a DELL Precision 3571 laptop. The workflow hangs with the message: "/started cancel waiting for multipath siblings of nvme0n//1/" I find this is an issue known by Alma Linux (https://bugs.almalinux.org/view.php?id=209&nbn=6) but the proposed workaround do not work (or I dot not understand it): I've removed ./usr/lib/udev/prefixdevname in initrd.img as prefixdevname-tools was not found but this make a Kernel panic! And there are no details about the initrd.img modification steps. Any idea how to solve this (I have 3 laptops to deploy) ? Is there a way to use older boot images for Alma Linux ? My setup works fine for an old DELL Precision 3520 used for testing before deploying on these new 3571. Thanks for your advices Patrick

Centos 7 to Almalinux 8 & VMWare
by Joey J 01 Sep '22

01 Sep '22

Hello All, I started the process to upgrade from Centos 7 to Almalinux, but ran into a snag with the drivers: - mptspi - mptscsih - mptbase I believe these are vmware drivers, but couldn't find a workaround since you cant just remove those drivers like it was a floppy. Any suggestions, instructions etc appreciated! -- Thanks! Jack

Migration issue
by Stephen Beckwith 10 Aug '22

10 Aug '22

Greetings, I'm trying to upgrade (update) a very old CentOS7 setup. I have, I think, successfully updated the CentOS7 to CentOS8. The /etc/redhat-release file says 8.5, kernel version however is still 3.10, so I might have messed up some steps. Also, this CentOS7 was a KDE custom setup. During this process, I was running out of the GUI/DE - which at a point reverted to CLI only (inside a VMWare Workstation 16.2.x Virtual Machine). I have tried to get KDE installed, but alas, no joy. So I decided to follow the upgrade path to Alma Linux. Following the instructions on GitHub, when I run the almalinux-deploy.sh script, I get: Verify almalinux-relesae-latest.rpm package ERROR (in red) details say: RSA sha1 ((MD5) PGP) md5 NO OK MISSING KEYS: (MD5) PGP#c21ad6ea) Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I thank you for your time and expertise. Regards, Stephen Beckwith

AlmaLinux 9 and libvirt-guest bug
by Alessandro Baggi 04 Aug '22

04 Aug '22

Hey there, I noticed that libvirt-guests service is installed and enabled but the configuration file /etc/sysconfig/libvirt-guests is missing. I noticed this also on RHEL9. I populated the missing file with one of almalinux 8 and it works as expected. Running "dnf whatprovides /etc/sysconfig/libvirt-guests" does not report any match. This missing is a bug or a wanted behaviour? Thank you in advance.

cockpit motd doesn't display
by Ranbir 26 Jul '22

26 Jul '22

Hello Everyone, On my AlmaLinux 9 installs, the cockpit motd I'm used to seeing upon login via ssh isn't being shown. I've looked at the symlinks that get created when the unit is enabled and everything appears to be fine, yet no motd noting that cockpit is available. I get the inactive message just fine. As soon as it's activated, the inactive message dissapears and doesn't get replaced with the active one. Has anyone else encountered this? -- Ranbir

AlmaLinux vs. RHEL packages
by Lana Deere 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

I was comparing the packages in the AlmaLinux9 ISO with those in the RHEL 9 ISO and found differences. Most the naming differences are "alma" versions of the rpms, similar to these: < libstdc++-devel-11.2.1-9.4.el9.alma.i686.rpm < libstdc++-devel-11.2.1-9.4.el9.alma.x86_64.rpm --- > libstdc++-devel-11.2.1-9.4.el9.i686.rpm > libstdc++-devel-11.2.1-9.4.el9.x86_64.rpm What does it mean when there is a package name difference like this? There also seemed to be a package here or there which only existed in one of the releases. For example, RHEL has > virt-who-1.31.22-1.el9_0.noarch.rpm but not AlmaLinux. Conversely AlmaLinux has < plotnetcfg-0.4.1-18.el9.x86_64.rpm but not RHEL. Is there any conclusion I should draw from this? .. Lana (lana.deere(a)gmail.com)

Unable to use xfce desktop
by John Thompson 13 Jul '22

13 Jul '22

I just reinstalled almalinux-9 after an selinux screw-up and cannot get xfce to work. I've installed all the requisite packages, but the gdm login screen no longer shows an option to select a different desktop (i.e. no "gear" icon). I tried pointing ./xinitrc to "exec /usr/bin/xfce4-session" but no joy. I installed the switchdesk package and ran "switchdesk Xfce" program reports "Desktop now set up to run xfce" but logout/login still comes up as the butt-ugly almalinux default desktop. Xfce worked fine on this machine prior to the reinstall. What am I missing? -- -John (JohnDThompson(a)gmail.com) Appleton, WI USA

AlmaLinux 9 First Boot Problem
by Alessandro Baggi 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

Hey there, I have installed AlmaLinux 9 on my workstation. I know that I should wait until x.2 minor but if anyone wonn't test since first releases no bugs will be discovered. First problem: I'm not able to install nvidia driver (from nvidia.com) using dkms. I tried the latest driver and the previous one running under 8.6. Actually I'm running nouveau driver. I got this error: "DKMS make.log for nvidia-510.54 for kernel 5.14.0-70.13.1.el9_0.x86_64 (x86_64) Fri May 27 17:30:08 CEST 2022 make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/kernels/5.14.0-70.13.1.el9_0.x86_64' Compiler version check failed: The major and minor number of the compiler used to compile the kernel: gcc (GCC) 11.3.1 20220421 (Red Hat 11.3.1-2), GNU ld version 2.35.2-19.el9 does not match the compiler used here: cc (GCC) 11.2.1 20220127 (Red Hat 11.2.1-9) Copyright (C) 2021 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Running gcc --version I get 11.2.1. How could the kernel be compiled with a newer gcc version? it was build running CentOS Stream? I don't know. I checked for update but there are not available upgrade. Second issue is related to libvirt. All my VMs were using spice and QXL but EL9 deprecates spice and QXL. So to solve the problem I did imported all my old VMs. No problem here just more work. I noticed that /etc/sysconfig/ files libvirtd and libvirt-guests are not more available. I always used them to config "start on boot" shutdown parallel vms or shutdown timeout. Where I can set this option in EL9? I don't know if the following is an issue, but running dnf module list I can't get appstream (it is empty). I think it is normal because EL9 is a young release but I excpected to see at least the default release with el9.0. Thank you in advance. To AlmaLinux Team: great job!

Filezilla on AlmaLinux aarch64
by Andrey Bibiano Jardim 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

Good day. I've just installed the AlmaLinux 9 on Raspberry Pi 4 (aarch64). I've tried to enable all kind of repos possible, but I couldn't find the Filezilla package. I thought it was strange, because on another distros I can simply enable remi and/or epel and download it. Does you guys have any idea of how can I get it? Another packages as firefox, @xfce go normally. Tks in advance; Andrey

AlmaLinux9 problem on gnome shell extension
by Alessandro Baggi 19 Jun '22

19 Jun '22

Hey there, I'm using AlmaLinux 9 on my workstation. Actually I'm using GNOME and I have installed two extensions: 1. dash-to-dock 2. systemMonitor I noticed some strange behavious. On the dash I can move the icon to change their order but the selected element goes to the end of the list. About systemMonitor, it placed on the top bar but it has some glitches. When I pass the mouse pointer it refresh data. I don't know if this is a NVIDIA driver problem or a bug of the extension. I don't have any other video issue. I'm using NVIDIA driver downloaded from nvidia.com. Someone is experimenting the same behaviour with these 2 extensions? Thank you in advance. Alessandro.

Alma9: inconsistent ability to boot Windows VM guest
by Lists 19 Jun '22

19 Jun '22

So, I'm trying to track down an ODD issue with Alma 9. I have a Win2016 .qcow2 system image, 4 core, 8 GB RAM I'm trying to move from one host to the other. Both are running Alma 9, with all updates applied. Both have been configured with similar/identical software. ZFS is the file store in both cases. The Windows VM starts and works fine on one but not the other. But why? Both are running fresh installs of Alma 9 from the same installation disk. System 1 "Delta" Xeon 2620 Blade server 128 GB RAM OpenZFS RAIDZ1 on 3x 500 GB SATA SSDs Alma 9 X86/64 Running numerous Virtual Machines Windows Server 2016 runs great System 2 "Grumman" I7 4790 16 GB RAM OpenZFS RAIDZ1 on 3x 250 GB SATA SSDs Alma 9 X86/64 Runs only 1 Virtual Machine Windows Server 2016 boots to "black screen of death" During the "black screen of death", top shows 4 cores running at 100% CPU forever. I've tried the 3x power off to trigger recovery mode and that, too, resulted in the same result. There is nothing in the Grumman's system log. Grumman's CPU is a bit older, but a 2620 is also pretty old. Any idea where I could look for resolution? Thanks

Lost my grub2
by johndthompson＠gmail.com 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

I just did a BIOS update on my Lenovo Ideacenter running Almalinux-8.6 and Windows-10. Of curse, the update had to be done from Windows, and once completed it has disabled my grub bootloader and goes directly into Windows. I can boot linux using SystemRescueCD, but grub2-install fails thus: [john@alma ~]$ sudo grub2-install /dev/sda grub2-install: error: this utility cannot be used for EFI platforms because it does not support UEFI Secure Boot. If I disable "Secure Boot" I get "no operating system found." I've also tried SuperGrub, BootRepair, and (from Windows) EasyBCD. SuperGrub fails in a manner similar o that described above. BootRepair fails with "Please enable a repository containing the [grub-efi-amd64-signed] packages in the software sources of AlmaLinux 8.6 (Sky Tiger) (mapper/almalinux-root). Then try again." but no indication of where or how this repo should be added. The SourceForge page for BootRepair doesn't show a way to ask for help. EasyBCD fails to find my linux installation. What are my options? Should I re-install almalinux and hope it can fix grub? Seems like a pile of work for what ought to be a simple task. For the time being, I can use my almalinux installation by booting from SystemRescueCD nd using its "findroot" boot option. Almost everything works, except, notably, nfs. Systemctl shows proc-fs-nfsd.mount as the problem: systemctl list-dependencies nfs-server nfs-server.service ● ├─-.mount . ├─auth-rpcgss-module.service ●├─home.mount . ├─nfs-convert.service . ├─nfs-idmapd.service . ├─nfs-mountd.service . ├─nfsdcld.service x├─proc-fs-nfsd.mount ● ├─rpc-statd-notify.service ● ├─rpc-statd.service ● ├─rpcbind.socket ● ├─system.slice ● ├─network-online.target ● │ └─NetworkManager-wait-online.service ● └─network.target Any ideas?

EFI PXE kickstart help
by Lana Deere 16 Jun '22

16 Jun '22

I am trying to do an AlmaLinux 9 network install on an EFI machine but I am having trouble getting the initial boot to work. I have the equivalent working for BIOS machines so I'm reasonably confident my kickstart file and http server are set up properly. When I try to boot from the EFI machine, I see the DHCP messages in /var/log/messages on the tftp server so it looks like the client gets an address, but then the client reports an error and goes to back to the boot menu, clearing the error message so that I have no chance to read the error. I've been trying to follow the instructions at: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/ht… Anyone have any advice? Thanks! .. Lana (lana.deere(a)gmail.com)

Hi List, currently errata are not present in ML so I'm trying to create a script that help me when a new ALSA/ALBA is released on AlmaLinux Errata. The problem is that the page (https://errata.almalinux.org/index.html) releases data with javascript table (a sort of datables) and if I try to download the page with wget, curl or lynx it reports that JS should be enabled. There is another way to retrieve these data: for example a simple txt.file or other sources? Thank you in advance.

GDM: DisallowTCP
by c.felsch＠gmx.de 02 Apr '22

02 Apr '22

I try to configure GDM on a fresh Alma 8.5 installation to allow local connections to the running Xorg via part 6000. For that, I added "DisallowTCP=false" in section "[security]" of file "/etc/gdm/custom.conf", but this setting is always ignored by GDM. GDM starts Xorg always with the arguments "-nolisten tcp". What do I have to do so that GDM passes the option "-listen tcp" to the started Xorg? Regards, ChrisF682

OpenZFS by default uses DKMS method. What is the most secure method? Thank you in advance.

Odroid HC4 progress - need help

Basic questions of aarch64 install
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Feb '22

28 Feb '22

I am downloading the various aarch64 8.5 images. Focusing on minimal and dvd. I will be putting it somehow on a usb stick and need to find out how the Odroid will recognize it My Odroid/HC4 is enroute; should be here in a day or two so what to do some planning. How does the iso image install figure out where to put the partitions? Until I learn how, I suspect I will be putting the /boot on the mSD card after the uboot. HardKernel (maker of Odroid) has a larger uboot that some devices. How do I insure that the partition does not step on it. Is RAID1 built in? The HC4 has 2 sata slots and I will be putting identical 2.5" HD in them. Would like to use RAID1. I would like to place the / partition on the HDs. That should be fairly straight-forward with extlinux.conf append like: append root=UUID=ad25a528-baf4-469c-bd12-5276e8f5f9ae What would this look like with RAID1? I am going to be rooting ( :) ) around the Odroid/HC4 wiki for how to boot an alternative OS iso and put down the uboot, but need to look at this from both sides. thanks

New to Almalinux - list of aarch64
by Robert Moskowitz 25 Feb '22

25 Feb '22

It is time to upgrade systems here, and it seems that arm32 has been left in the scrap heap. Shame with all the Allwinner boards I have... Is there a list of tested aarch64 systems? I am particularly looking for ones with 4GB memory and sata support. I have never been a fan of Raspberry, and with the RPi4, you have to get at least a sata extension board. I do like it still works with 5v; 3a is no problem for me with my Anker power supply, but I suspect more will be needed once you add the sata expansion card and drive (thus whatever is in the list of other aarch64 systems should have power requirements). Anyway, as I go back before Centos1 (I believe it was called WhiteHat), I need to go with the flow. Hard to believe Centos has managed for so long. By Centos.

KVM virsh console to physical console?

12 Feb '22

I'm preparing to virtualize a Windows server onto a Linux system under virsh. Initial results are looking good, but an issue that's come up is the need to log into the Linux system prior to being able to access the Windows system for updates.

Now that CentOS repos have died, is there a way to use almalinux-deploy.sh for 8.4 or maybe even less?

Elevate CentOS 7->A8 upgrades postgresql from 9.2 to 10.0
by Todd Rinaldo 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

Hi, I’ve been evaluating elevate and would like to point out a problem with the current configuration. Right now, if I have postgres and postgres-server (both at 9.2) installed, when I use elevate, I end up with 10.17. The problem is that some applications still depend on 9 in order to function. AlmaLinux 8 provides postgresql 9.6 and IMO this would be a better choice when upgrading people between 7 and 8. To get to this in 8, you have to first run: dnf enable module postgresql:9.6 then dnf install postgresql-server If a user wants to move to 10 from 9.6, they can. They cannot move from 10 to 9.6 though. Thanks, Todd Rinaldo

/etc/pam.d/system-auth created by authselect, but authselect not configured
by Neil Aggarwal 09 Dec '21

09 Dec '21

Hello all: I am trying to understand PAM, I have not used it before. When I open /etc/pam.d/system-auth, it has these lines: # This file is auto-generated. # User changes will be destroyed the next time authselect is run. But, when I run: authselect check It tells me: System was not configured with authselect. This seems incongruent. Any insights?

Error: ws-discovery is an invalid service
by Neil Aggarwal 09 Dec '21

09 Dec '21

Hello all: I am seeing packets to port 3702 in my firewall log so I wanted to add a rule to drop them silently. I tried this command: firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule service name=ws-discovery drop' Which give me this message: success But, when I do systemctl restart firewalld I see this entry in the log: ERROR: INVALID_SERVICE: ws-discovery That is strange. Any idea what went wrong? Thank you, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, (972) 834-1565, http://www.propfinancing.com We offer 30 year loans on single family houses!

Qemu - enabling "bridge mode" for primary physical interface for VMs
by Lists 08 Dec '21

08 Dec '21

I have a physical host with a single physical network adapter. I want to host several VMs on host. (guest1 - guest4) The guest systems are accessible via 192.168.122.* as is the default with qemu/virsh. There are 4 IP addresses being routed to the primary interface on host. I can set up an alias for the NIC and "see" these ip addresses. I understand that it's possible to allow the 4 VM guest systems to each have a "direct" fixed IP address and access the addresses \via the host network adapter, while the host retains its fixed IP. I've been googling like crazy and there is a lot of stale and conflicting information. Has anybody here done this successfully? Host and all guests are running Alma 8. Thanks. Ben S
