# Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
|
|
|
|
## Hardware Compatibility
|
|
- [Hardware Compatibility](hardware_compatibility.md)
|
|
|
|
## Production Ready
|
|
|
|
The central infrastructure (automatic provisioning, upstream package synchronisation and Puppet) are stable and production ready.
|
|
|
|
The configuration management is done with Puppet as with RHEL8.
|
|
|
|
Bugs and issues can be reported in the [Linux Issues project](https://gitea.psi.ch/linux/issues/issues).

|
## Changes for Base Installation
|
|
|
|
### No Support for AFS
|
|
The future support model for AFS or the service and functionality it provides is currently under consideration. Consequently it has been decided not to support AFS in the PSI RHEL9 distribution at the time being.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Network Configuration
|
|
By default the network configuration is handed over to NetworkManager which does automatic configuration.
|
|
|
|
If you wish different behaviour, e.g. for static IP addresses, please check out the [Network Configuration guide](../../configuration/basic/networking.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Disk Layout
|
|
Provided disk size is 64GB for virtual machines.
|
|
|
|
| Name | Path | Size | Type | LVM |

|
|

|
|
|
|

|
### Workstation Package Groups

## Caveats
|
|
|
|
### Missing or Replaced Packages
|
|
|
|
[List of packages removed in RHEL 9](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html-single/considerations_in_adopting_rhel_9/index#removed-packages_assembly_changes-to-packages)
|
|
|
|
| RHEL 8 | RHEL 9 | Remarks |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `mailx` | `s-nail` | S-nail is MIME capable and has extensions for line editing, S/MIME, SMTP, IMAP, POP3, and more. |
|
|
| `platform-python, python2 (python27:2.7), python36 (python36:3.6), python38 (python38:3.8), python39 (python39:3.9)` | `python3` | As for all python* packages |
|
|
| `pulseaudio` | `pipewire-pulseaudio` | The pulseaudio server implementation has been replaced by the pipewire-pulseaudio implementation. Note that only the server implementation has been switched. The pulseaudio client libraries are still in use. |
|
|
| `inkscape1` | `inkscape` | Also affects `inkscape-docs` and `inkscape-view` |
|
|
|
|
### SSH to RHEL/SL 5 or 6 fails
|
|
```
|
|
$ ssh my-sl6-host.psi.ch
|
|
ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection to UNKNOWN port 65535: error in libcrypto
|
|
$
|
|
```
|
|
You may follow [this guide](https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2022/08/08/ssh-from-rhel-9-to-rhel-5-or-rhel-6/).
|
|
|
|
### No Driver for Nvidia Tesla K40c Accelerator
|
|
This hardware is supported up to the driver branch 470 which is no available for RHEL9. Please use RHEL8 instead.
|
|
|
|
### NoMachine and Nvidia and Wayland
|
|
This combination does not work. A solution is to fall back to Xorg:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
gdm::wayland: false
|
|
```
|
|
and enabling VirtualGL on the node:
|
|
```
|
|
/usr/NX/bin/nxserver --virtualglinstall
|
|
```
|
|
followed by a reboot.
|
|
|
|
### Ghost Icons in Dock after using X-Forwarding
|
|
|
|
When opening applications on a remote machine via ssh X11 tunneling in certain cases the application icon remains in the taskbar.
