I hoped to quickly complete all post-installation procedures after installing AlmaLinux 9.4 - “server with GUI” (and dnf update later).
However, compared to the excellent work of CentOS 7 (including the GUI), AlmaLinux gave me unstable work and a lot of additional worries. Problems have arisen every day so far (installed 3 days ago).
The last problem is the worst and needs to be solved quickly.
On run
openvpn --config=filename
(client)
Immediately after the last message about normal initialization, the computer froze.
No Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Alt+Fn worked, nor Ctrl+Alt+Del.
I had to turn off the power!
I didn’t see anything abnormal in dmesg after the new boot.
After the reboot, I checked the operation of openvpn (though with a different filename) - it seemed to work.
I got disgusting consequences - when I started openvpn, two flash drives worked.
After the reboot, I checked the operation of openvpn (though with a different filename) - it seemed to work.
Then I had to tinker with fsck for flash drives. I corrected everything.
But now GNOME 40.4 (Gnome classic) does not automatically mount any flash drives when installing them.
I’m not going to manually apply it every time
$ udiskctl mount --block-device /dev/sdxx
(I constantly work actively with flash drives, this is on my home PC with GUI).
How can I correct these problems in GNOME?
Now I need at least this. If this problem will resolved,
(I still hope there will no problem with the openvpn client in the future, although this is not at all obvious!), I will prepare other messages about other problems with AlmaLinux 9.4 (including my fixes).
