      Hi,

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

      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!
