Fedora 31 : Install Unity 3D on Fedora Linux.

If you want to install the Unity 3D software on Fedora 31 Linux distro then you can read my tutorial from this webpage.
To run Unity software you need to have one good hardware.
This install require to upload the license file even you use a free or pro license.

Fedora 31 : The Fyne UI toolkit for Go programming language.

Today I will show you how to use a UI toolkit with the Go programming. language. The development team comes with this toolkit at the GitHub official webpage.
Fyne is an easy to use UI toolkit and app API written in Go. It is designed to build applications that run on desktop and mobile devices with a single codebase...

Let's install the fyne toolkit and the demo application:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ go get fyne.io/fyne
[mythcat@desk ~]$ go get fyne.io/fyne/cmd/fyne_demo/

I run the demo with this command and works very well:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ go run /home/mythcat/go/src/fyne.io/fyne/cmd/fyne_demo/main.go  

Fedora 31 : Can be better? part 006.

I try to use the Selinux MLS with Fedora 31 and I wrote on my last article about Fedora 31 : Can be better? part 005.
After relabeling the files and start the environment I get multiple errors and I ask an answer at fedoraproject lists:
This is an example of the problem of implementing MLS in Fedora and can be remedied because MLS Selinux is old in implementing Selinux.

SELinux is preventing su from open access on the file /var/log/lastlog.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that su should be allowed open access on the lastlog file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'su' --raw | audit2allow -M my-su
# semodule -X 300 -i my-su.pp 

I try to fix it but I got this error:

[root@desk mythcat]# ausearch -c 'su' --raw | audit2allow -M my-su

Fedora 31 : Can be better? part 005.

Today we have once again dealt with this topic on the possibilities of improving the Fedora distro.
This time the adventure turned to the Selinux system switching to SELinux MLS.
Let's test the SELinux Fedora 31 from default targeted to mls.
First let's see the users:

[root@desk mythcat]# semanage user -l

                Labeling   MLS/       MLS/                          
SELinux User    Prefix     MCS Level  MCS Range                      SELinux Roles

guest_u         user       s0         s0                             guest_r
root            user       s0         s0-s0:c0.c1023                 staff_r sysadm_r system_r unconfined_r
staff_u         user       s0         s0-s0:c0.c1023                 staff_r sysadm_r system_r unconfined_r
sysadm_u        user       s0         s0-s0:c0.c1023                 sysadm_r
system_u        user       s0         s0-s0:c0.c1023                 system_r unconfined_r
unconfined_u    user       s0         s0-s0:c0.c1023                 system_r unconfined_r
user_u          user       s0         s0                             user_r
xguest_u        user       s0         s0                             xguest_r

To use the MLS you need to change this file:

[root@desk mythcat]# vim /etc/selinux/config


# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#     enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
#     permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#     disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=enforcing
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these three values:
#     targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
#     minimum - Modification of targeted policy. Only selected processes are protected. 
#     mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

The changes are:

#SELINUX=enforcing
SELINUX=permissive
...
#SELINUXTYPE=targeted
SELINUXTYPE=mls

Is need to install these packages:

[root@desk mythcat]# dnf search mls | grep selinux

  policycoreutils-newrole-2.9-5.fc31.x86_64                                     
  selinux-policy-mls-3.14.4-45.fc31.noarch                                      

Complete!

These commands will relabel and start the MLS.

[mythcat@desk ~]$ setenforce 0
[mythcat@desk ~]$ getenforce
Permissive
...
[root@desk mythcat]# touch /.autorelabel
[root@desk mythcat]# reboot

If you have problems on boot the add selinux=0 on boot kernel.
After I boot and relabel all files I got errors about Gtk-Messages.
I remove my old Cinnamon with this command:

[root@desk mythcat]# dnf groupremove -y "Cinnnamon"

I list all my group with dnf tool:

[root@desk mythcat]# dnf grouplist -v 

I install the MATE environment:

dnf groupinstall -y "MATE Desktop" --allowerasing

After that the only way to start the environement is this command:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ sudo systemctl restart lightdm.service

Another issue comes from SELinux Alert Browser, where I get multiple alerts and these need to fix manually.
First, these alerts are more than 250.
After I fix some of these now I see only 50.
I think this problem with changing the SELinux type can be improved.

Fedora 31 : Using the dmesg command on Linux operating system.

The dmesg command is used to display the kernel-related messages on Unix like systems. Today I will show you how to use this command on the Linux operating system. Simply use the command:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ dmesg 
[    0.000000] microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0x21, date = 2019-02-13
...

Show the latest message that fits on screen:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ dmesg | less
... 

Use it to see infoermation about motherboard:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ dmesg | grep -i memory
...
[mythcat@desk ~]$ dmesg | grep -i dma
...
[mythcat@desk ~]$ dmesg | grep -i usb
...
[mythcat@desk ~]$ dmesg | grep -i tty
...

Same reult with a single command using multiple grep option:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ dmesg | grep -E "memory|dma|usb|tty"

This display logs related to error and warning:

[root@desk mythcat]# dmesg --level=err,warn

The dmesg comes with supported log facilities:

• kern - kernel messages;
• user - random user-level messages;
• mail - mail system;
• daemon - system daemons;
• auth - security/authorization messages;
• syslog - messages generated internally by syslogd;
• lpr - line printer subsystem;
• news - network news subsystem;

See output facility only for one:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ dmesg --facility=daemon

Use root user to clear dmesg logs after the reading them:

[root@desk mythcat]# dmesg -C

If you want then you can show the outpout into the colored messages:

# dmesg -L
