Installing Guest Tools on AlamaLinux 9 Issue

stevewest15

Hi,

I tried installing guest tools on a new VM running AlamaLinux 9.4 and I'm seeing the following errors:

e524329700abe47ce1f509bed7e2d3c68b336a54c712daa1b492b2429a64d419

Not sure if this is a known issue or if I'm doing something wrong. I used this ISO from AlamaLinux website to install.

Thank you,

SW

@stevewest15 Not to call this a "fix" because I know they aren't always the latest 'n greatest, but have you tried just installing from the EPEL repo? Seems to work for us.

dnf install epel-release-9-5.el9.noarch -y
yum install xe-guest-utilities-latest.x86_64 -y
systemctl enable xe-linux-distribution.service
systemctl start xe-linux-distribution.service

@jimmymiller Thank you! I destroyed the old VM and created a new one and then installed the guest tools using your instructions. XO detects the guest tools as version 8.2.x:

Thank you again!
