Thanks Christian.
The binary DVD is getting bigger and bigger for each release. It is 9.43 GB now. I also noticed that the "Product Documentation" page for RHEL8.4 is not yet updated. There is only the RHEL8.4 Beta documentation available.
I also noticed that "Convert2RHEL: Now officially supported to convert RHEL-like systems to RHEL". https://access.redhat.com/announcements/5960741

Hi Tess,
The release notes I had already mentioned in my response to Sadashiva above. :)
For Scott McBrien's webinar I created a new thread yesterday to promote it a bit.
But the dedicated blog series website seems to be new .. Thank you for sharing !

Forgot to say that Sadashiva also belongs to the members who are always willing to assist. :)
Keep up your great work, Sadashiva ... your contributions are much appreciated. Thank you !

Thanks Christian. I'm truly honored and glad that our contributions are being recognized. Red Hat used to motivate community members by offering goodies earlier. Not sure if they have stopped that since I've not received any such since couple of years. Anyways, we always spend time whenever we get to help others here. All the best!

You are right, Sadashiva ... David Powles sent the most active and helpful members some nice
Red Hat swag "every now and then" as a token of appreciation. That stopped completely after
he left. Now that Teresa Santry Baj took over his role as Community Manager it may change ...
Does it Tess ? :) For your information, Sadashiva : The manager role was left unfilled for years.

Christian
Thanks Christian. Anticipating in a positive frame. I also noticed that the "The Red Hat Accelerators program" is not yet open for Asia region. Hope that they would accept our nominations soon.
Hi i did sudo dnf upgrade only without --refresh like i always do i upgraded to 8.4 successfully it seems so did i do wrong? In Fedora i always do sudo dnf upgrade so.
did the upgrade yesterday. two issues 1. the display that is connected to the hdmi port is not working. i can use the http://x.x.x.x:9090 as well as vnc, but the display only has a cursor on the top left corner. 2. two issues with compiling the vmnet module for vmware. found solution to one issue, but had to guess at the second.
Beware: Since upgrading my Intel NUC11TNHi3 the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 keeps crashing every few hours in such a way that the NIC completely disappears.

Stefan,
Honestly curious, is your wifi software directly from Red Hat or from a third party (we don't know). If it is indeed from Red Hat, please submit a bugzilla report so that Red Hat can look to resolve this. Most of those who provide aid here are volunteers (such as myself), and Bona Fide Red-Hatters occasionally do come through the discussion forum, but the best avenue for this would be to submit a bugzilla report (again, if the rpm for your wifi is from Red Hat). Otherwise, if your rpm is from a third party - you may have to take it up with the third party.
Kind Regards,
RJ
Hi RJ,
i filed a bugzilla report as suggested: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1963975
All RPMs pertaining to the OS and kernel are from Red Hat. sudo dnf upgrade --refresh does not yield any more updates.
The link https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/479/ver=/rhel---8/8.4/x86_64/product-software is out of order since severals days with the message : We'll be back soon. Thank you for your patience. Do you have a another link please ? Regards Franck.

Hi Franck,
I just checked https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/479/ver=/rhel---8/8.4/x86_64/product-software.
The link (still) works as expected for me - I can access it immediately. I don't know what's wrong on your side ... :)
Regards,
Christian
Hi Franck! I'm sorry that page isn't cooperating with you. We don't have any other reports of outage for that page. If it's still happening, can you please try in a private browsing session, just to rule that out? If it's still happening there, we can take a closer look at your user and get you an alternate route to the download you want in the meantime. Thanks!
