Fedora 39 : About Penpot online tool.

Designers and developers can finally work in unison to build beautifully designed software experiences that truly scale up.

Penpot is the Open-Source Design & Prototyping Tool for Product Teams.

If you have worked with Adobe XD or similar software, then it performs the same functions.

I haven't tested it very thoroughly, but I can tell you that it works very well and is open-source and free.

I haven't seen anything about Bootstrap in the library of bookstores and templates, but there are quite a few in other areas with a pretty good design.

You can test it on the official webpage.

See these videos from the official youtube channel:

Fedora 36 : Fill out this survey for a badge.

I've always liked Fedora distro because it applies a concept of interactivity between developers and users.

Even if not everything works, you can see the progress made from the older versions.

Today I completed my feedback in a survey requested by them and I also got a small badget for my effort.

You can find it on this webpage.

Fedora 36 : Inkscape 1.2 with Huion WH 1409 graphic tablet.

In this tutorial I will show you how to install and use the Huion WH 1409 graphics tablet with the new release of Inkscape 1.2 software.

You will need to use the DKMS feature of the kernel and the tablet-specific drivers.

Let's start with the following command to get the driver and show the files:

[root@fedora mythcat]# git clone https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers.git

digimend-debug    hid-rebind        hid-viewsonic.c
dkms.conf    hid-uclogic-core.c  Makefile

Let's create it using the command

[root@fedora digimend-kernel-drivers]# make dkms_install
...

dkms add .
Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/digimend/11/source -> /usr/src/digimend-11
dkms build digimend/11

make -j1 KERNELRELEASE=5.17.9-300.fc36.x86_64 KVERSION=5.17.9-300.fc36.x86_64...
...

Let's check and reboot.

[root@fedora digimend-kernel-drivers]# dkms status
digimend/11, 5.17.9-300.fc36.x86_64, x86_64: installed (original_module exists)
[root@fedora digimend-kernel-drivers]# reboot

After rebooting the diver must be activated and you will see that Linux responds to the movement of the tablet pen.

[root@fedora mythcat]# modprobe -r hid-kye hid-uclogic hid-viewsonic

Install the latest version of inkscape 1.2 using the DNF utility.

Start the inkscape software:

[mythcat@fedora ~]$ inkscape
static bool Inkscape::UI::Dialog::DialogContainer::recreate_dialogs_from_state(InkscapeWindow*, const Glib::KeyFile*): Key
file does not have group “Windows”
Gdk-Message: 15:09:10.534: Error flushing display: Broken pipe

It seems that inkscape does not detect and set the tablet if you use the settings of this software, but you can use the tablet with this software even if you do not set it.

Fedora 35 : Roblox Player and Roblox Studio with Grapejuice.

In today's tutorial, I will show you how to install and play Roblox on the Linux Fedora 35 distribution using Grapejuice software.

The Grapejuice software installs protocol handlers to open games from the Roblox website and file handlers to open place files. It also provides a management interface for installing and launching Roblox.

For this, you will need to have a computer with the necessary hardware requirements for this online game.

I tested it on the old HP Compaq 6710b laptop on which I installed Fedora version 35 and it worked very hard.

Here are the Linux commands I used to install.

[mythcat@fedora ~]$ git clone https://gitlab.com/brinkervii/grapejuice

[root@fedora grapejuice]# exit
exit
[mythcat@fedora grapejuice]$ ./install.py

After installation, you can search and find the installation and Roblox Player and Roblox Studio.

Fedora 35 : New Krita version 5.0.0 released.

Today I tested the new released version 5.0.0 for Krita software.

I download the AppImage from the official website.

After download you need to use these commands:

[mythcat@fedora ~]$ chmod +x krita-5.0.0-x86_64.appimage
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ ./krita-5.0.0-x86_64.appimage

Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
Old schema: "0.0.10" New schema: 0.0.15

The Krita software runs well on the old HP Compaq 6710b, but I recommend better hardware because it is a software for graphic activities.

Don't worry about the message is a database change warning message.

Fedora 32 : Create games with Phaser Editor 2D.

Today I install Phaser Editor 2D on Fedora 32, you can download it from the official website. I create an account and I download the archive for Linux. After unarchive I used very simple:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ cd PhaserEditor2D/
[mythcat@desk PhaserEditor2D]$ ls

Fedora 29 : Install Inkscape with Flatpak Linux tool.

Today I used the Flatpak Linux tool to install the last version of Inkscape 0.92.4 5da689c313 released at 2019-01-14.
Flatpak (formerly xdg-app) is a software utility for software deployment, package management, and application virtualization for Linux desktop computers. It provides a sandbox environment in which users can run applications in isolation from the rest of the system. see Wikipedia Flatpak.
The Flatpak tool is installed by default on Fedora Workstation. To install and runt the last version of Inkscape you need to use these commands:

[mythcat@desk Downloads]$ flatpak install org.inkscape.Inkscape.flatpakref

The application works great I don't know from where come the errors.

Fedora 28 : The Spin tool for 2D animation.

The spine is a 2D skeletal animation tool for your video games.
This tool comes with features to building great looking animations.
Spine exports animation data in its own, documented JSON and binary formats.
You can export animated GIFs, PNG or JPEG image sequences and AVI or QuickTime video.
I install the trial version into my Fedora 28 distro easy.
First, you need to download it and unarchive from the official website.
The next step will start with this command:

You can some warnings but the tool works great.
More about graphics and Linux design you can find articles on my website.
Look at these screenshots with Spine tool:

Fedora 26 : using Huion Giano WH1409 graphic tablet .

If you want to use your Huion Giano WH1409 graphic tablet with Fedora 26 then you need to use DKMS kernel.
Let's start. First you need to have a github account to download this kernel.
Use this commands to install the DKMS kernel from digimend.

$su 

#dnf install dkms git-core 
#git clone https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers.git /usr/src/digimend-6
#dkms build digimend/6
#dkms install digimend/6

Now connect the wireless USB dongle and reboot your computer. Take a look at dkms status:

dkms status

If you use VirtualBox then I tested with last version of VirtualBox and works without any settings.
If you want to set your tablet keys then you make custom X11 rules .
First is need to go to this folder: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/.
Now create 50-huion.conf file and use the configuration tool xsetwacom.
I don't make this settings because the tablet work's good with inkscape software.

Fedora and Krita software.

I used most time Gimp software and was great. Even I try scripting under gimp and works.

Today I will told you about Krita software.
The Krita software is a great tool to make animation and 2D content and works with many operating system. You can donate to help this software by using this web page. 
You can also help the team by using your skills under some issues from this web page.
The first animation and instant Preview support was come with 2.9 beta-version.
Now under Fedora come with version 3.0.1.x and is need to install kde libs.
You can read the documentation of this software here.
I see has many and beautiful patterns and also you can use your graphic tablet like input device.
The instalation of this software is very easy, just type this commands under root account:
$su
#dnf upgrade
#dnf search krita
#dnf install krita

News: Krita 3.1 second beta.

The Krita 3.1 beta comes with full features and fixes.
The Linux version to download your krita-3.0.91-x86_64.appimage.
The most useful features can you be found into this 2D software for drawing:

• ffmpeg-based export to animated gif and video formats;
• the OpenGL canvas is fixed;
• will officially support OSX
• fixing bugs on Windows and Linux
• the beta still contains the colorize mask/lazy brush plugin
• expecting to experiment with new algorithms, but with the next release
