Fedora 33 : Using the finch chat program.

Finch is a TUI (text user interface) IM client for Linux which uses libpurple.

This is very useful when you want to chat and don't have an environment to install Fedora on.

Finch is built using the ncurses toolkit, which is a library designed especially to built text user interfaces.

This program lets you sign on to Jabber, GoogleTalk, IRC, and other IM networks. 

After this was built the Pidgin application.

Let's install it with the DNF tool:

[root@desk mythcat]# dnf install finch.x86_64
...
Installed:
  finch-2.14.1-2.fc33.x86_64                             libgnt-2.14.0-3.fc33.x86_64                            

Complete!

You can find all information using the man command:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ man finch 

You can run it easy with this command:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ finch

After that, you can see the windows form for your account.

You can see one example with my IRC account:

If not you can select it by pressing the keys: Alt+A and select Accounts.

Use the Tab key and select Modify.

The new window form lets you set your account.

In the next image, you can see some settings for my IRC account.

Another important element is that this interface can be customized using the file named .gntrc.

Open it with your editor, I used vi editor:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ vi ~/.gntrc

I make these changes to use the mouse:

[general]
mouse = 1

Although the manual page says the mouse support is still experimental.

I install the GPM - a cut and paste utility and mouse server for virtual consoles.

[root@desk mythcat]# dnf install gpm.x86_64 
...
[root@desk mythcat]# systemctl status gpm
● gpm.service - Console Mouse manager
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/gpm.service; enabled; vendor prese>
     Active: inactive (dead)

[root@desk mythcat]# systemctl enable gpm 
[root@desk mythcat]# systemctl status gpm 
● gpm.service - Console Mouse manager
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/gpm.service; enabled; vendor prese>
     Active: inactive (dead) since Fri 2021-01-15 15:35:56 EET; 6min ago

Jan 15 15:35:32 desk /usr/sbin/gpm[15314]: gpm is already running as pid 15241

The GPM can be configureted to set your mouse settings.

I restart my Fedora 33 Linux distro and works very well with the mouse.

Fedora 33 : Fixes and changes for wordpress - part 001.

If you have the latest version of WordPress installed, then you may encounter this error when trying to add a new page or post.

Publishing failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.

The problem is with how to edit posts.
One solution would be to install this plugin.
The process of installing the new WordPress or making changes does not allow you to add new plugins to the Plugins menu.
Download the Classic Editor plugin to unzip and then copy it to the plugins folder.

[root@desk mythcat]# cp -r -f /home/mythcat/classic-editor/ /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/

Activate this plugin and now you can create and edit pages and posts in WordPress.

Fedora 33 : Use Visual Code on root account.

Sometimes creating or modifying files that have root permissions is required.
I use the following command to run Visual Code with these permissions:

sudo code --user-data-dir="~/.vscode-root"

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and
haven't set the root password yet, you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none): 
OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password or using the unix_socket ensures that nobody
can log into the MariaDB root user without the proper authorisation.

You already have your root account protected, so you can safely answer 'n'.

Switch to unix_socket authentication [Y/n] n
 ... skipping.

You already have your root account protected, so you can safely answer 'n'.

Change the root password? [Y/n] n
 ... skipping.

By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y
 ... Success!

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.  This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] Y
 ... Success!

By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y
 - Dropping test database...
 ... Success!
 - Removing privileges on test database...
 ... Success!

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y
 ... Success!

Cleaning up...

All done!  If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MariaDB!

The template "Avalonia .NET Core App" was created successfully.
[mythcat@desk CSharpProjects]$ cd MyAppAvalonia/
[mythcat@desk MyAppAvalonia]$ dotnet add package Avalonia
...
[mythcat@desk MyAppAvalonia]$ dotnet add package Avalonia.Desktop
...
[mythcat@desk MyAppAvalonia]$ ls

  MyGame001 -> /home/mythcat/CSharpProjects/MyGame001/bin/Release/netcoreapp3.1/fedora.33-x64/publish/

Now you can run it with dotnet command:

[mythcat@desk MyGame001]$ dotnet /home/mythcat/CSharpProjects/MyGame001/bin/Release/netcoreapp3.1/fedora.33-x64/MyGame001.dll

You can simply run it like an Linux application:

Fedora 33 : Testing xdotool linux tool .

Xdotool is a free and open source command line tool for simulating mouse clicks and keystrokes.
You can create beautiful scrips and tools with this command.
The help for this command is this:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ xdotool -help

Let's see some examples:
This simulate a keystroke for key c:

m[mythcat@desk ~]$ xdotool key c
c[mythcat@desk ~]$ c

The next command will simulate a key press for key c:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ xdotool keydown c
c[mythcat@desk ~]$ cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc^C
[mythcat@desk ~]$ ^C

The next command will simulate a key release for key c:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ xdotool keyup c

Use the enter key:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ xdotool key KP_Enter

[mythcat@desk ~]$

The next command will open a new tab in terminal:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ xdotool key shift+ctrl+t

This command simulate a right click at current location of pointer

xdotool click 3

The reference is: 1 – Left click, 2 – Middle click, 3 – Right click, 4 – Scroll wheel up, 5 – Scroll wheel down.
The next command get ID of terminal window currently in focus and then minimize it:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ xdotool getactivewindow windowminimize

This command lists all open windows:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ xdotool search --name ""

I get the open window with name New Tab - Google Chrome, with this command:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ xdotool search --name "New Tab -"
18874375

This command get the pid of the active window:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ xdotool getactivewindow getwindowpid
3538

The pid is from lxterminal tool:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ ps aux | grep 3538
mythcat     3538  0.3  0.4 601468 42500 ?        Sl   11:42   0:05 lxterminal
mythcat     5713  0.0  0.0 221432   780 pts/1    S+   12:07   0:00 grep 3538

The active window can be move with:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ xdotool getactivewindow windowmove 0 0

The next command get the current mouse coordinates:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ xdotool getmouselocation --shell
X=521
Y=339
SCREEN=0
WINDOW=16780805

These coordinates can be parsed:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ xdotool getmouselocation 2>/dev/null | cut -d\  -f1,2 -
x:0 y:0
[mythcat@desk ~]$ xdotool getmouselocation 2>/dev/null | sed 's/ sc.*//; s/.://g; s/ /x/'
0x0

Open inkscape and select Layer for this window Always on top:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ inkscape 

Start xdotool with focus on mouse and click on rectangle and draw area and follow the output:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ xdotool search --name "inkscape" behave %@ focus getmouselocation
x:25 y:239 screen:0 window:16786173
x:25 y:239 screen:0 window:16786173
x:340 y:378 screen:0 window:16786173
x:340 y:378 screen:0 window:16786173
x:332 y:358 screen:0 window:16786173
x:332 y:358 screen:0 window:16786173

x:518 y:643 screen:0 window:16786173
x:723 y:466 screen:0 window:16780805

I create a bash script named inkscape_xdotool.sh and I add these commands:

#! /bin/sh
sleep 1
inkscape > /dev/null 2>&1 &
sleep 3
my_app=xdotool search --sync --name 'inkscape'
xdotool windowactivate $my_app
xdotool mousemove 0 0
xdotool mousemove 25 239
xdotool click 1
xdotool mousemove 332 358 mousedown 1 mousemove 518 643
xdotool mouseup 1
sleep 1
exit

I run the script:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ ./inkscape_xdotool.sh 

The script run well.
The output is an rectangle in inkscape with the default black color.

Fedora 32 : Can be better? part 016.

Today I tested the Unity 3D version 2020 on Linux Fedora 32.
Maybe it would be better to integrate Unity 3D or Unity Hub in Fedora repo just like other useful software like Blender 3D, GIMP.
It will improve the user experience and attract new users and developers for this distro.
I download the AppImage from Unity website and I run with these commands:

[mythcat@desk Downloads]$ chmod a+x UnityHub.AppImage 
[mythcat@desk Downloads]$ ./UnityHub.AppImage 
r: 0
License accepted
...

Fedora 32 : About positive and negative lookahead with Bash commands.

Today I will talk about something more complex in Linux commands called: positive and negative lookahead.
This solution can be found in several programming languages including Bash
The lookahead process is part of regular expressions.
The lookahead process looks ahead in the string and sees if it matches the given pattern, but then disregard it and move on.
It is very useful when we want to go through the strings.
The lookahead process can be both positive and negative depending on the purpose.
Negative lookahead is indispensable if you want to match something not followed by something else and looks like this:

q(?!s).

The string is the question q is analyzed and if it does not match and is not followed by s returns the result.
The positive lookahead it works the same way only now it is parsed if it corresponds to s.
The positive lookahead looks like this:

q(?=s)

Let's look at a simple example of detecting the PAE option for the processor.
We can use this command but we will find a lot of information ...

[root@desk mythcat]# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor	: 0
vendor_id	: GenuineIntel
cpu family	: 6
model		: 58
model name	: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G1620 @ 2.70GHz
stepping	: 9
...

In some cases, the resulting information can be taken using pipe and grep but they will be increasingly fragmented.
I will use the same command cpuinfo and we will look for the pae information in the flags.
All CPU flags can be found here.
Let's prove with internal lookahead to find the pae flag.

[root@desk mythcat]# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -oP '(?='pae')...' 
pae
pae

This result gives me additional information, namely that there are two cores.
Do you have a question?

Fedora 32 : Visual Code and C# on Fedora distro.

Today I will show you how to use Visual Code with C#.

sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[code]\nname=Visual Studio Code\nbaseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/
vscode\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" > 
/etc/yum.repos.d/vscode.repo'

Then use dnf to check and install this editor.

#dnf check-update
#dnf install code

Use Extensions button or Ctrl+Shift+X keys to open in the left side area and intall the C# extension from Microsoft by pressing the Install button, see:

Fedora 32 : Can be better? part 015.

In the evening I can spend my time with Fedora 32.

In the last few days I studied GTK # a bit.

I thought it would be useful for Linux users and those who use the language of the FASM assembler to have an editor.

Tonight I created this simple project this simple project named fasm_editor.

The objectives of this project are:

• creating a functional editor;
• implementation of running and compilation requirements;
• settings specific to the Linux operating system;

I believe that this way Fedora Linux can be improved and become better.

Fedora 32 : Can be better? part 014.

The GTK documentation for C # is not very up to date, I tried to use a button to change a label and I failed first time. The Fedora team could improve this to develop the development side. Here's what I've managed to do so far with GTK.

I fixed the source code with this, but I would have preferred a better method:

my_Button.Clicked += delegate {
my_Label.Text = "Use delegate!";
};

Mono is a free and open source implementation of the .NET Framework.

The most popular build tool for Mono is NAnt.

NUnit is very useful for test driven development.

Let's start with a GTK project using the MonoDevelop I.D.E.

[mythcat@desk ProjectsCSharp]$ monodevelop 

I use a new solution from .NET with GTK# 2.0 Project template. The default source code is this:

using System;
using Gtk;

namespace MonoDevelopGTK_001
{
	class MainClass
	{
		public static void Main (string[] args)
		{
			Application.Init ();
			MainWindow win = new MainWindow ();
			win.Show ();
			Application.Run ();
		}
	}
}

The result is an simple window form. For a complex form with entry ,label and one button, you can see the next example:

using System;
using Gtk;

namespace MonoDevelopGTK_001
{
	
	class MainClass
	{
		public static void Main (string[] args)
		{
			// define here Entry and Button 
			Entry name;
			Button my_Button;

			Application.Init ();
			MainWindow win = new MainWindow ();
			// change the size of window
			win.SetDefaultSize (640, 480);
			// this will close application
			win.DeleteEvent += new DeleteEventHandler (Window_Delete);

			// use of VBox or HBox
			VBox global_vbox = new VBox();
			win.Add(global_vbox);
			name = new Entry();
			global_vbox.PackStart(name, false, false, 0);
			win.Add(name);

			VBox label_vbox = new VBox();
			global_vbox.Add (label_vbox);
			//Define here a label and put some text in it.
			Label my_Label = new Label();
			my_Label.Text = "Hello World!";
			label_vbox.PackStart(my_Label, false, false, 0);
			//Add the label to the form
			win.Add(my_Label);

			VBox button_vbox = new VBox();
			global_vbox.Add (button_vbox);
			my_Button = new Button("Ok!");
			my_Button.Clicked += OnButtonClicked;
			button_vbox.PackStart(my_Button, false, false, 0);
			win.Add(my_Button);
			// ShowAll is used to see all labels, buttons
			win.ShowAll();
			//win.Show ();
			Application.Run ();

		}

		public static void OnButtonClicked (object obj, EventArgs args)
		{
			//Label my_Label = obj as Gtk.Label;
			Console.WriteLine ("Button Clicked !");

		}

		static void Window_Delete (object obj, DeleteEventArgs args)
		{
			Application.Quit ();
			args.RetVal = true;
		}
	}
}

Fedora 32 : Can be better? part 013.

I would say that I always have a problem with accessing the knowledge base related to errors, errors and configurations in Linux and Fedora distro.

I think it would be very necessary to have as up-to-date documentation as possible in the Fedora distribution system and possibly a database based on questions and answers.

That makes me think of the pilots' manuals ... where all the possible problems are listed.

It would be useful for anyone and especially saves users' memory.

In the age of artificial intelligence, a flow chart for each possible problem generated by Xorg, Network, services that indicate the areas of interaction and possibly the basic checks that a user should make, possible settings depending on the problem or the desired change would be a fantastic map for both a beginner and an advanced user.

After doing some SELinux configurations, my browser did not want to access the internet.

Until the deactivation, the number of SELinux alerts increased dramatically.

The written SELinux policies were not exactly correct.

Obviously I tried to fix the problem by disabling SELinux.

The ping utility sent and received packets to the internet, my browser does not connect to it.

Sometimes a symbolic link or incorrect setting can block your internet access.

I think the problem was generated when disabling SELinux by restarting and shutting down a useful service.

ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

Although attention was paid to the possibility of incorrect SELinux settings, a simple check and a restart of the systemd-resolved.service service solved the problem.

[root@desk mythcat]# systemctl status systemd-resolved.service 
● systemd-resolved.service - Network Name Resolution
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-resolved.service; disabled
     Active: inactive (dead)
       Docs: man:systemd-resolved.service(8)
[root@desk mythcat]# systemctl start systemd-resolved.service 
[root@desk mythcat]# systemctl status systemd-resolved.service
● systemd-resolved.service - Network Name Resolution

     Active: active (running) since Tue 2020-09-29 22:25:32 EEST; 8s ago

Now I've fixed it.

Fedora 32 : Can be better? part 012.

Pidgin is a chat program that lets you log in to accounts on multiple chat networks simultaneously. 

Pidgin can be installed on multiple operating systems and platforms. 

Pidgin is compatible with the following chat networks out of the box: I.R.C., Jabber/XMPP, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, IRC, Novell GroupWise Messenger, Lotus Sametime, SILC, SIMPLE, and Zephyr. Can it be better? 

The only problem a user in need of help may have been in the command line environment. Obviously, in this case, this application cannot be used. I would suggest building a terminal application like WeeChat dedicated to Fedora users and including I.R.C channels. 

Now, let's install this application.

[root@desk mythcat]# dnf install pidgin.x86_64

Fedora 32 : Testing the Bookworm software.

The current version of Bookworm (v1.1.2) supports eBooks in the following file formats: EPUB, PDF, MOBI, FB2, CBR, CBZ.

First, I install this software with dnf tool:

[root@desk mythcat]# dnf install bookworm.x86_64 
...
Installed:
  bookworm-1.1.3-0.1.20200414git.c7c3643.fc32.x86_64                                          

Complete!

I tested with some old EPUB and PDF files and I'm not very happy with formatting text on the page.

HI tested with some old EPUB and PDF files and I'm not very happy with the formatting for certain texts on the page, like source code in programming.

Bookworm does one thing and does it well for this simple reader.

You can help this project on GitHub.
