Fedora 35 : Python and Flask-Mailing on Fedora.

First of all, a Merry Christmas to the users and the Fedora team. Python version 3.10.1 works very well on Fedore 35 and today I tested a packet called: Flask_Mailing.
Flask-Mailing adds SMTP mail sending to your Flask applications., see the Github repo.
Let's start with the installation of this packet with the pip utility.
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ pip install -U flask-mailing
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Collecting flask-mailing
  Downloading Flask_Mailing-0.0.5-py3-none-any.whl (15 kB)
...
Installing collected packages: rfc3986, anyio, typing-extensions, httpcore, dnspython, async-timeout, pydantic, httpx, 
email-validator, blinker, asgiref, aiosmtplib, aioredis, flask-mailing
    Running setup.py install for blinker ... done

I create a folder named ExempleFlask001:
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ mkdir ExempleFlask001
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ cd ExempleFlask001/
[mythcat@fedora ExempleFlask001]$ vi flask001.py
I created the simplest example to test through the import procedure and then read with the dir function, here is the source code:
from flask import Flask
from flask_mailing import Mail, Message

app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/")
def index():
    test = str(dir(Mail))
    return test
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)
The result of running the script on the command line:
[mythcat@fedora ExempleFlask001]$ python flask001.py
 * Serving Flask app 'flask001' (lazy loading)
 * Environment: production
   WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment.

The browser's response to the script is this:

Fedora 35 : Share your commands online with asciinema tool on blogger.com .

The asciinema.org is now running the latest server and web player code and thus it fully supports this new format.
In the last tutorial about this online tool we briefly presented how it can be used.
In this tutorial, I will present some other features and how you can integrate the result in blogger.com.
Let's see a short example with some simple commands in Linux and how we used this tool:
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ asciinema auth
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ asciinema rec linux_commands_default.cast
asciinema: recording asciicast to linux_commands_default.cast
asciinema: press <ctrl-d> or type "exit" when you're done
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ ls
...
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ dir
...
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ pwd
...
[mythcat@fedora ~]$
exit
asciinema: recording finished
asciinema: asciicast saved to linux_commands_default.cast
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ asciinema upload linux_commands_default.cast
I used the local recording and uploaded it later to avoid additional fixes in case of errors and inconsistencies with what we want to display online.
The asciinema online tool supports sharing an asciicast on Twitter, Slack, Facebook, Google+, or any other site which supports one of these APIs: oEmbed, Open Graph, and Twitter Card APIs, see also this webpage.
To use this online tool with your blog, you will need to use the three lines of source code to change according to the number of asciinema uploaded from the URL.
In my example case is this number 455414 from this URL: https://asciinema.org/a/455414/ and the source code for this blog post is shown below:
<script src="https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema-player/releases/download/v2.6.1/asciinema-player.css"/></script>
<script src="https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema-player/releases/download/v2.6.1/asciinema-player.js"/></script>
<script id="asciicast-455414" src="https://asciinema.org/a/455414.js" async></script>
Here is the result of the source code above, it did not work now because I don't add javascript libraries on the script area.

Fedora 35 : You can test Fedora online.

You can test any Linux on this website.
I tested with Fedora 35 Linux distro and works well.
Just open the website select your Linux distro and press the Start button.
See the nest message on the webpage"
If no window has opened yet please click here: Open VNC-Viewer (allow POP-UPs !)
I used this option and I get the Linux distro for the first install.
I start it without install on the hard disk and this is the result:

Fedora 35 : Upgrade from Fedora 34 to Fedora 35 Beta.

Fedora Workstation 35 brings several features worth noting, and testing, for the beta release.
Fedora 35 Workstation Beta includes the newest release of the GNOME desktop environment version 41.
Let's upgrade with these Linux commands:
$ sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
$ sudo dnf autoremove
$ sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
$ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=35
$ sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
$ sudo dnf system-upgrade clean
This is the result:

Fedora 34 : GitKraken tool.

GitKraken is a freemium, cross-platform Git client. Users must pay to use this product commercially, and with large teams. It isn’t open source. That said, it has a free version that anyone can use (for personal, and hobby reasons).
This tool can be found on this website.
I'm trying to install the rpm package, but I got an error about: does not verify: no digest.
I used this mode:
wget https://release.gitkraken.com/linux/gitkraken-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvzf gitkraken-amd64.tar.gz
This tool work well, see the next picture:

Fedora 34 : Can be better? part 019.

Another way to improve the Fedora 34 is to add the lastes PyQt6 python package into repo.
[root@desk mythcat]# dnf search PyQt6
Last metadata expiration check: 2:03:10 ago on Tue 06 Jul 2021 08:52:41 PM EEST.
No matches found. 
First stable release for PyQt6 was on Jan 2021 by Riverbank Computing Ltd. under GPL or commercial and can be used with Python 3.
Let's install with pip tool:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
...
  WARNING: The scripts pip, pip3 and pip3.9 are installed in '/home/mythcat/.local/bin' which is not on PATH.
  Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, 
  use --no-warn-script-location.
Successfully installed pip-21.1.3
[mythcat@desk ~]$ pip install PyQt6 --user
...
Let's see a simple example with this python package:
import sys
from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel

def main():
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    win = QLabel()
    win.resize(640, 498)
    win.setText("Qt is awesome!!!")
    win.show()
    app.exec()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
I tested and run well.

Fedora 34 : Can be better? part 018.

Fedora distro can improuve the LXDE environment.
Let's start this simple tips and tricks that change the size of the window.
You can see the window is blocked by the Task Bar.
You need to open this file named lxde-rc.xml:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ vim ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml 
Then change these lines of source code save the file and reboot:
<!-- You can reserve a portion of your screen where windows will not cover when they are
 maximized, or when they are initially placed. 
Many programs reserve space automatically, but you can use this in other cases. -->
<margins>
 <top>0</top>
 <bottom>30</bottom>
 <left>0</left>
 <right>0</right>
</margins>
After reboot the result is more good:

[mythcat@desk ASPProjects]$ cd ASP001/
[mythcat@desk ASP001]$ dotnet restore
  Determining projects to restore...
  All projects are up-to-date for restore.

With the dotnet restore command, we download the necessary dependencies.
It calls into NuGet - .NET package manager to restore the tree of dependencies.
Let's see the files from this project:
[mythcat@desk ASP001]$ ls
appsettings.Development.json  ASP001.csproj  obj	 Properties
appsettings.json	      bin	     Program.cs
[mythcat@desk ASP001]$ cat Program.cs 
using System;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}

app.MapGet("/", (Func<string>)(() => "Hello World!"));

app.Run();
[mythcat@desk ASP001]$ cat ASP001.csproj 
...
This is the most simple tutorial about the ASP project.

Fedora 34 : Test with the new .NET 6.0 SDK.

Now Fedora 34 distro comes integrated in the repo with DotNet 5.
Today I tested DotNet 6.
Let's create a new folder for the .NET 6.0 SDK .
[mythcat@desk ~]$ mkdir -p $HOME/dotnet
[mythcat@desk ~]$ cd dotnet/
First open your browser and download the .NET 6.0 SDK from the official website.
[mythcat@desk dotnet]$ ls
dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-preview.5.21302.13-linux-x64.tar.gz
Use the following commands to extract the SDK and make the commands available at the terminal.
[mythcat@desk dotnet]$ tar zxf dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-preview.5.21302.13-linux-x64.tar.gz  -C $HOME/dotnet
[mythcat@desk dotnet]$ export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/dotnet
[mythcat@desk dotnet]$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
Let's see the content of the dotnet folder:
[mythcat@desk dotnet]$ ls
dotnet							sdk
dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-preview.5.21302.13-linux-x64.tar.gz	sdk-manifests
host							shared
LICENSE.txt						templates
packs							ThirdPartyNotices.txt
Let's run the binary dotnet from this folder:
[mythcat@desk dotnet]$ ./dotnet --version
6.0.100-preview.5.21302.13 
I added to PATH into .bashrc file:
[mythcat@desk dotnet]$cat ~/.bashrc 
export PS1="[\u@\h \W]\$ "
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet

Fedora 34 : Defragmenting an XFS file system with xfs_fsr.

The xfs_fsr tool improves the organization of mounted filesystems.
The XFS is an extent-based file system, it is usually unnecessary to defragment a whole file system
I can use this command to Defragmenting my XFS file system.
[root@desk mythcat]# xfs_fsr /dev/mapper/fedora-root -v -d
...

Fedora 34 : The grubby command line tool.

The grubby command line tool used to configure bootloader menu entries across multiple architectures.
All information can be find with the manual linux commands:
[root@desk mythcat]# man grubby
Let's see some simple examples.
This command can list all the installed kernel:
[root@desk mythcat]# grubby --info=ALL | grep ^kernel
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-5.12.10-300.fc34.x86_64"
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-5.12.8-300.fc34.x86_64"
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-0-rescue-fc76db87af524282b0c7e05a9c5d18f4
To get more details on the installed kernel:
[root@desk mythcat]# grubby --info="/boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r)"
index=0
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-5.12.10-300.fc34.x86_64"
args="ro resume=/dev/mapper/fedora-swap rd.lvm.lv=fedora/root rd.lvm.lv=fedora/swap rhgb quiet splash 
acpi_osi=Linux"
root="/dev/mapper/fedora-root"
initrd="/boot/initramfs-5.12.10-300.fc34.x86_64.img"
title="Fedora (5.12.10-300.fc34.x86_64) 34 (MATE-Compiz)"
id="fc76db87af524282b0c7e05a9c5d18f4-5.12.10-300.fc34.x86_64"
Add selinux=0 to the kernel with this tool:
[root@desk mythcat]# grubby --update-kernel ALL --args selinux=0
Let's see if is added:
[root@desk mythcat]# grubby --info="/boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r)"
index=0
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-5.12.10-300.fc34.x86_64"
args="ro resume=/dev/mapper/fedora-swap rd.lvm.lv=fedora/root rd.lvm.lv=fedora/swap rhgb quiet splash 
acpi_osi=Linux selinux=0"
root="/dev/mapper/fedora-root"
initrd="/boot/initramfs-5.12.10-300.fc34.x86_64.img"
title="Fedora (5.12.10-300.fc34.x86_64) 34 (MATE-Compiz)"
id="fc76db87af524282b0c7e05a9c5d18f4-5.12.10-300.fc34.x86_64"
Remove the selinux=0 option from the bootloader with this tool:
[root@desk mythcat]# grubby --update-kernel ALL --remove-args selinux
Let's see if is removed:
[root@desk mythcat]# grubby --info="/boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r)"
index=0
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-5.12.10-300.fc34.x86_64"
args="ro resume=/dev/mapper/fedora-swap rd.lvm.lv=fedora/root rd.lvm.lv=fedora/swap rhgb quiet splash 
acpi_osi=Linux"
root="/dev/mapper/fedora-root"
initrd="/boot/initramfs-5.12.10-300.fc34.x86_64.img"
title="Fedora (5.12.10-300.fc34.x86_64) 34 (MATE-Compiz)"
id="fc76db87af524282b0c7e05a9c5d18f4-5.12.10-300.fc34.x86_64"
You can see is removed.
Get the index number of all the installed kernels:
[root@desk mythcat]# grubby --info=ALL | grep -E "^kernel|^index"
index=0
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-5.12.10-300.fc34.x86_64"
index=1
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-5.12.8-300.fc34.x86_64"
index=2
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-0-rescue-fc76db87af524282b0c7e05a9c5d18f4"
I can set the default kernel by index with this tool:
[root@desk mythcat]# grubby --set-default-index=1
These are not all features of this command.

Fedora 34 : Programming with the ncurses library - part 003.

This is a simple example with ncurses library to see how can define an array and used with random colors:
This example is build with this command:
[mythcat@desk ncursesProject]$ gcc test_008.c -o test_008 -lncurses
This is source code:
#include <ncurses.h>
#include <stdlib.h> 

int main(void) {
    
    initscr();
    
    start_color();
    
    char colors[8][20] = {
    "COLOR_BLACK",
    "COLOR_RED",
    "COLOR_GREEN",
    "COLOR_YELLOW",
    "COLOR_BLUE",
    "COLOR_MAGENTA",
    "COLOR_CYAN",
    "COLOR_WHITE"
    };
    
    int n;
    for ( n=0 ; n<16 ; ++n )
    {
        int aleator1 = rand() % 256 + 1;
        int result1 = *colors[aleator1];
        int aleator2 = rand() % 256 + 1;
        int result2 = *colors[aleator2];
        //printw("%d",result1);
        init_pair(n, result1, result2);
        attron(COLOR_PAIR(n));
        printw("Hello word!\n");
    }
    
    refresh();
