Fedora 39 : Install and fix error with dotnet and copr.

Copr is an easy-to-use automatic build system providing a package repository as its output.
Free/Open source software that is harder to include in Fedora (usually because it is developed in a way that makes it difficult to package while implementing the Fedora packaging guidelines) is temporarily provided in an extra COPR repository, see the official webpage.
I tried to install dotnet following a tutorial on Fedora Magazine:
# dnf copr enable @dotnet-sig/dotnet
I obviously received errors related to copr, because is not install and I used Fedora 39, since Fedora 39 is still Rawhide.
I try to install copr with dnf5:
# dnf5 install copr
I got some errors on python-request-2.28.2-2.fc39.noarch conflicts with new one requested by dnf5 and I remove this package and I let to install the new one.
I try again with same command:
# dnf5 install copr
The next command was:
$ sudo dnf copr enable @dotnet-sig/dotnet fedora-38-x86_64
This allow me to use fedora-38-x86_64 and warn me about copr.
Enabling a Copr repository. Please note that this repository is not part
of the main distribution, and quality may vary ...
The last one is to install .NET Core:
# dnf5 install dotnet
This install all packages for .NET Core with SDK version 6.0 .
I tested with a simple project:
$ dotnet new console -o mythcat_console
$ cd mythcat_console
$ dotnet run 
Hello, World!
This is the way that can use Fedora packages with copr.

Fedora 31 : Can be better? part 004.

The common question of any Fedora Linux user: Can be better?.
Yes, we can fix some common errors...
This is a common error generated by the GTK on Fedora distro applications:
[mythcat@desk bin]$ ./studio.sh 

(java:12631): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:45:47.061: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",

(java:12631): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:45:47.061: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",

(java:12631): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:45:47.106: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",
...
First, find the running GUI environment from the terminal:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
X-Cinnamon
This allows us to know that the issue may be a GTK theme package.
[root@desk bin]# dnf install gtk-murrine-engine.x86_64
Last metadata expiration check: 0:45:00 ago on Mon 06 Jan 2020 11:14:27 AM EET.

Complete!
Now the Android Studio works well without warning errors:
[mythcat@desk bin]$ ./studio.sh

The saga of build Librelancer over Mono, NuGET and Cake.

I wrote this article because it is a good way to understand beyond the errors encountered for Mono, NuGet and Cake.
I started the day with Fedora 29 installing the old Librelancer game:
Librelancer is a cross-platform, open source game engine re-implementing the 2003 space trading and combat game Freelancer. The engine comes with an editor for several of the game's file formats called LancerEdit.
See the official webpage.
Some errors are temporarily fixed, see:
TERM=xterm.
This error refers an issue open on Feb 13,2018,12:52 PM GMT+2, see here.
However, this is a great way to go through Fedora installations to avoid searching for GitHub issues and issues.
The default install of Cake with the version 0.30.0 will not solve the last error:
[root@desk Librelancer]# nuget  install Cake -Version 0.30.0 
Installing 'Cake 0.30.0'.
Successfully installed 'Cake 0.30.0'. 
Let's hope that problems will solve with time.
Below are the correct steps for going through the installation until the last error.

Fedora 27 : Fix your distro with systemctl .

This is a simple tutorial about systemctl tool and how to fix one simple error show by status. The help of this cmmand can be found with:
# man systemctl
Let's see how we can see this errors and how this working. First let's see the status for systemctl command (:
# systemctl status
The output is this:

Detect the problem from list all failed units:
# systemctl list-units --state=failed
I find the rngd module is the problem. To fix this issue just use this commands:
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl status rngd 
# systemctl stop rngd
# systemctl disable rngd
# systemctl enable rngd
# systemctl start rngd
The next step is reboot and check again if systemctl come with errors.

Fedora 28 - first installation .

Today we tested the new version of Fedora 28 Beta.
I installed this version of the old Fedora 27 and I tried to use different environments (in this order): XFCE, LXDE and LXQT.
I have received some errors from the xorg service since the motherboard has an Intel graphics card.
I used a Hdmi 1 to DVI cable and that made me an area on the home screen without resizing correctly.
First, I'm not very happy with this dnf installation process for these environments.
However, Fedora 28 now works as much as possible.
I did not test and configure the kernel on the hardware machine.
Here's a screenshot with the new Fedora 28:

Fedora 27 : 'No Space Left on Device' errors .

The No Space Left on Device error is a good issue for a linux user.
The error come one issue that you have no space left on your hard drive.
The purpose of linux user is to detect the problem with the linux operating system.
You can use your root account or sudo user to run some of this linux commands.
This error named No Space Left on Device is just a vague problem and can be the cause of multiple vague errors on Linux systems.
Here are some ways you can solve the problem.

Use du and df commands to see if your disk is full (check into home and root folders area):
# df -h
# df -i /
# du -sh /

Check deleted file reserved by process (PID) with lsof:
# lsof / | grep deleted
Take a look at unlinked files:
# lsof -a +L1 *mountpoint*

Check you have bad filesystem blocks with fsck:
# fsck -vcck /dev/sda2

If you use a virtual machine (VM) then you can get this error in process of emulation of linux operating system for some PID.
It also happened to me with Android Studio software under Fedora 27 - the error is show like: No Space Left on Device.
I do not know why this happens, but I assume it's an emulation task in the memory area.

rm /home/mythcat/Downloads/unity-editor-5.1.0f3/Editor/Data/Tools
After that the Unity Editor start well but another error come into default Unity scene.
Errors and problems I found:
- the new material cannot be added to the 3D object by drag and drop;
- the skybox come with a pink color without the sky I know from Windows OS (maybe some problems come from video: Shader compiler: internal error compiling shader snippet type=1 platform=0: Error reading external process - read 0 bytes and this Shader compiler: internal error compiling shader snippet type=1 platform=0: Error reading external process - read 0 bytes);
- the open C# script not work;
I make a Unity application - default scene and worked well.
I make a bug report here.
You can download the Unity sh file from here.

Nemesis Bootkit Malware the new stealthy Payment Card.

After I read many articles I got this infos about Nemesis Bootkit Malware:
 - suspected to originate from Russia;
 - infect PCs by loading before Windows starts
 - has ability to modify the legitimate volume boot record;
 - seam to be like another Windows rootkit named Alureon;
 - intercepts several system interrupts to pass boot process;
 - can steal payment data from anyone's not just targeting financial institutions and retailers;
 - this malware hides between partitions and is also almost impossible to remove;

I think about the antivirus and internet security solutions can deal with this type of issues.

Take a look at how fast working the scan disk and how it's working the memory traps, how it's working the booting process or maybe try to see how selinux works.
In my opinion these Antivirus and Internet security solutions are just not effective in design and heuristic detection.
Most of that the prices of this softwars is huge versus non make anything all.

Maybe will see into the future a mega malware wich jump from first boot to any operating system and this because the hardware is more complex and fast.

How to fix Grub2 bootloader flaw.

According to researchers Ismael Ripoll and Hector Marco,who wrote this article:

A vulnerability in Grub2 has been found. Versions from 1.98 (December, 2009) to 2.02 (December, 2015) are affected. The vulnerability can be exploited under certain circumstances, allowing local attackers to bypass any kind of authentication (plain or hashed passwords). And so, the attacker may take control of the computer.

Just hit the backspace key 28 times at the Grub username prompt during power-up.
This will open a Grub rescue shell with the rescue shell allows unauthenticated access to a computer and the ability to load another environment.
The Grub versions 1.98 to 2.02 are affected and suffer integer overflow problem.
The basic of the fault lies within two functions; the grub_password_get() function and the and grub_password_get() script.
To fix it use this patch.

What things should be fixed quickly ?

Here are some things that should be repaired.
There are minor things or less, but make life a misery. There are things that generate more questions and more errors on the Internet.
This is an epidemic of questions there just because they are not repaired.

1. Google must give the possibility to download video files updated...
2. Python modules gdata do not work for all versions... ( and many modules has the same problem)
3. Python module ftplib does not know about SFTP, just FTP
4. Too many compilers for C and C + + and lack of advanced tutorials for setting them, especially gcc on windows
5. Social networks Spam filling our mail.


I will try to update the list over time.
I'm sure there are more ...

The word "includ" generates error in gmail.

I accidentally discovered an error.
I sent feedback to Google, I hope to resolve quickly.
The problem is with the word "include" is a word used in the Romanian language and means "include".
Because of this, I can not send emails it contains, Gmail asking to "include file"
