validated that rocky cinnamon does have the ln command in /usr/bin This issue only appears to be in the XFCE version |

Thank you for the report. I am unable to reproduce your issue with `ln` missing. The screenshots I have attached show that `ln` is there on the live image booted and that it remains there after installation. coreutils is almost always installed by default as it is required by key default packages such as rpm. What else are you installing or performing after your installation? |

Thanks for checking @Louis I installed julia, git, zsh, oh-my-zsh, vscodium and nerd fonts with ligatures I tried running the command in zsh, then bash, couldn't find it. Checked /usr/bin and it's not there. I ran 'sudo dnf reinstall coreutils' and it fixed the problem. I now have ln in /usr/bin I have no idea how this happened, but the reinstall of coreutils appears to have fixed. You can close the ticket. |

Even though I fixed the issue with a dnf reinstall, this issue might be related to Ticket: 0008948 If a package didn't get installed correctly at initial install, I can see how it might have missed installing 'ln' if that ticket is accurate? |

I'm not sure if it's related, as no dnf installs take place during a live install. When you install from a live image, what is happening is the image itself is being unpacked to your desired disk. Meaning, what you see in the live image is what will be there the first time you boot to your hard drive. |

I didn't know if the installer reached out to rocky do d/l anything or if it just pulled from the mounted iso. Thanks for the clarification. I have no idea what could have caused this unless it was some hardware hiccup on my end. I was surprised not to see the core ln command available for use after a fresh install. I should note that I am running this instance as a VM in Workstation 17.6.2. But I have never encountered anything like this before without a hard error at install time. Like I stated previously, I was able to reinstall the coreutils and that fixed my problem. You can close this ticket as I don't want to waste anymore of your time if this is some ssd/hardware glitch on my end. Thanks for being so responsive. |
