If you run across any strangely hosed Oracle Linux 8.9 systems check out this link. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/768864/oracle-linux-8-server-wont-update-because-of-missing-files We first noticed because ssh wasn’t working, then saw yum/dnf upgrades were failing too. The only ones affected were those that had automatic updates enabled and were already on 8.9. #Oracle #OracleLinux #OracleLinux8
Nothing seems to be stopping the #RHEL clones from continuing to release

@dizzy I have no idea what counts as “primary”, since most of my personal services on linux run in alpine containers, but half are on #synology’s unique distro, other half on #raspbian (a #debian); at work 25+ datacenters of #OracleLinux (a #rhel); but I’m also actively moving my raspbian & synology services to #freebsd; and I’m spending most of my free time trying to get useful at contributing to #illumos.
Would you believe my day job is as a technical project manager?
Since I'm on a RHEL-like server (AlmaLinux 9 in the Oracle Cloud) for this time running GoToSocial, I'm encountering new issues.
I couldn't get the gotosocial.service to start GtS automatically after a reboot. It would fail every boot.
But it would run fine when started from the terminal while the VPS was already running.
I tried a bunch of things, but what worked was a suggestion on Stack Overflow to slow things down in the gotosocial.service file.
I added this above the Exec line in gotosocial.service:
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 10
Then I re-enabled the service, rebooted the system, and GtS was running automatically. No issues.
Here is the SO link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44737570
