Fedora 41 : the pref tool under Fedora.

Today I tested the perf tool in Fedora 41 and it is a bit difficult to use. I documented myself and found some information on the web and in the online linux community. Here is what I thought was worth remembering and what I tested.
The pref tool can't run anyway:
mythcat@fedora:~/PythonProjects$ perf record -e cache-misses,page-faults,minor-faults,major-faults,cpu-migrations,L1-dcache-load-misses,L1-dcache-store-misses,L1-icache-load-misses,LLC-load-misses,LLC-store-misses,dTLB-load-misses,dTLB-store-misses,iTLB-load-misses
Error:
Access to performance monitoring and observability operations is limited.
Enforced MAC policy settings (SELinux) can limit access to performance
monitoring and observability operations. Inspect system audit records for
more perf_event access control information and adjusting the policy.
Consider adjusting /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid setting to open
access to performance monitoring and observability operations for processes
without CAP_PERFMON, CAP_SYS_PTRACE or CAP_SYS_ADMIN Linux capability.
More information can be found at 'Perf events and tool security' document:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/perf-security.html
perf_event_paranoid setting is 2:
  -1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
      Ignore mlock limit after perf_event_mlock_kb without CAP_IPC_LOCK
>= 0: Disallow raw and ftrace function tracepoint access
>= 1: Disallow CPU event access
>= 2: Disallow kernel profiling
To make the adjusted perf_event_paranoid setting permanent preserve ...
I used with sudo , wait and Ctrl + C to stop:
mythcat@fedora:~/PythonProjects$ sudo perf record -e cache-misses,page-faults,minor-faults,major-faults,cpu-migrations,L1-dcache-load-misses,L1-dcache-store-misses,L1-icache-load-misses,LLC-load-misses,LLC-store-misses,dTLB-load-misses,dTLB-store-misses,iTLB-load-misses ...
To get the accurate number of events count then number of results:
mythcat@fedora:~/PythonProjects$ perf report -D -i perf.data | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | wc -l
22461
I get my pref data and I saw all my system data with:
mythcat@fedora:~/PythonProjects$ sudo perf report -f -i perf.data

Fedora 41 : OpenCV example with PyQt6.

Today I tested another source code with opencv, numpy, PyQt6 python packages.
I install opencv python package with dnf5 tool:

Fedora 41 : The cirq python package cannot be install - build errors

Today, I tried to use cirq python package on Fedora 41. This need the python version 3.12.
root@localhost:/home/mythcat# dnf install python3.12.x86_6c
I got some errors because ask me to install the rust:
root@localhost:/home/mythcat# curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
info: downloading installer

Welcome to Rust!

This will download and install the official compiler for the Rust
programming language, and its package manager, Cargo.

Rustup metadata and toolchains will be installed into the Rustup
home directory, located at:
...
Rust is installed now. Great!

To get started you may need to restart your current shell.
This would reload your PATH environment variable to include
Cargo's bin directory ($HOME/.cargo/bin).

To configure your current shell, you need to source
the corresponding env file under $HOME/.cargo.

This is usually done by running one of the following (note the leading DOT):
. "$HOME/.cargo/env"            # For sh/bash/zsh/ash/dash/pdksh
source "$HOME/.cargo/env.fish"  # For fish
These are the next steps I used:

Fedora 41 : assembly fasm with cat command and qemu test.

I tested the basic direct binary concatenation where the second file is appended to the end of the first file, preserving all bytes exactly as they are without any linking metadata or relocations with the cat command.
Let's see how can do this.
You need to create two files: kernel.fasm and kernel2.fasm.
First will like this:
org 7C00h

; First stage bootloader
start:
    mov [bootdrive], dl
    mov ax, 0x2000  ; Load kernel at 0x2000:0
    mov es, ax
    xor bx, bx      ; ES:BX = buffer
    
    mov ah, 02h     ; Read sectors
    mov al, 6       ; Number of sectors to read
    mov ch, 0       ; Cylinder 0
    mov cl, 2       ; Start from sector 2
    mov dh, 0       ; Head 0
    mov dl, [bootdrive]
    int 13h
    
    jmp 0x2000:0    ; Jump to second stage

bootdrive db 0
times 510-($-$$) db 0
dw 0xAA55
The second one named kernel2.fasm will come with new features:
org 0

COLS equ 80
ROWS equ 25
VIDEO_MEM equ 0xB800

; Box drawing characters
BOX_DR    equ 201  ; ╔
BOX_HL    equ 205  ; ═
BOX_DL    equ 187  ; ╗
BOX_VL    equ 186  ; ║
BOX_UR    equ 200  ; ╚
BOX_UL    equ 188  ; ╝
BOX_BLOCK equ 219  ; █
...
Use fasm and cat commands to create the bin files and the result file for qemu:
mythcat@localhost:~/fasm$ ./fasm.x64 kernel.fasm kernel.bin
flat assembler  version 1.73.32  (16384 kilobytes memory, x64)
2 passes, 512 bytes.
mythcat@localhost:~/fasm$ ./fasm.x64 kernel2.fasm kernel2.bin
flat assembler  version 1.73.32  (16384 kilobytes memory, x64)
2 passes, 132 bytes.
mythcat@localhost:~/fasm$ cat kernel.bin kernel2.bin > os.img
The last step is to run qemu-system-i386 to test the result
mythcat@localhost:~/fasm$ qemu-system-i386 -fda os.img
The result is this:

Fedora 41 : generated shapes with python !

Today I created this source code in python that generates eight random convex polygons. The idea was to create sprites for a 2D game: snowballs, boulders, or similar objects ... Obviously I also used Sonet 3.5 artificial intelligence. You can find the source code on the pagure account in fedora.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
SVG Polygon Generator

This script generates multiple deformed polygonal shapes and saves them as separate SVG files.
Each polygon maintains convex properties while having controlled random deformations.

Features:
    - Generates 8 unique polygonal shapes
    - Controls deformation through radial and angular factors
    - Maintains convex properties
    - Exports each shape to a separate SVG file
    - Uses random colors for visual distinction

Fedora 41 : use pagure tool with ssh key ...

Pagure is a light-weight git-centered forge based on pygit2.
The basic tool can be found on this fedora package, the pagure has more features.
Because I used only like a repo I install with DNF5 tool the basic cli:
# dnf5 install pagure-cli.x86_64
I created a folder then I used easy like git tool for each project I have under basic fedora account:

You need to use ssh-keygen to have a ssh key for pagure on Fedora linux then remove the old key and, add the ssh key to Fedora pagure account, then I push the file:
mythcat@localhost:~/pagure_fedora/mythcat$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/mypagure
mythcat@localhost:~/pagure_fedora/mythcat$ ssh-keygen -y -f ~/.ssh/mypagure
mythcat@localhost:~/pagure_fedora/mythcat$ systemctl restart sshd.service mythcat@localhost:~/pagure_fedora/mythcat$ git push 
For my repo radio-online-catafest the git remote command is this:
mythcat@localhost:~/pagure_fedora/radio-online-catafest$ git remote set-url origin git@pagure.io:radio-online-catafest.git
mythcat@localhost:~/pagure_fedora/radio-online-catafest$ git push

Fedora 41 : Minimal gnome install and nemo additionals packages.

I reinstall the Fedora, somehow was crashed with a bad systemd error:
uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 6.11.5-300.fc41.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Oct 22 20:11:15 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux
If you install nemo with minimal gnome features then you need to install fedora packages, like this one:
root@localhost:/home/mythcat# dnf5 install nemo-image-converter

Fedora 42 : ... testing Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE).

Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE) is a utility that creates a database of files on the system, and then uses that database to ensure file integrity and detect system intrusions.. See more on the official fedora documentation webpage.
NOTE : The documentation and translations on the official page are in progress due to ongoing development and resource management ...
I used the DNF tool to install:
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ sudo dnf install aide
... aide      x86_64      0.18.6-5.fc41        rawhide      
Make sure the AIDE database file exists and is accessible:
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ sudo ls -l /var/lib/aide/aide.db.gz
Ensure that the user running AIDE has the necessary permissions:
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ sudo ls -l /var/lib/aide/
Check the AIDE configuration file:
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ sudo cat /etc/aide.conf | grep DBDIR
Check if the AIDE service file exists:
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ sudo ls /usr/lib/systemd/system/ | grep aide
If the service exists then check the status:
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ sudo systemctl status aide
Unit aide.service could not be found.
If the service not exist then take some time to run first time ...
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ sudo /sbin/aide --init
...
End timestamp: 2024-10-26 14:10:00 +0300 (run time: 98m 41s)
You can check each time you want ...
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ sudo /sbin/aide --check
If you want and your Fedora linux need to use this tool, then you can use it like service:
sudo nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/aide.service
Fill with the basic service source code like any unit service :
[Unit]
   Description=Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment
   After=network.target

   [Service]
   Type=simple
   ExecStart=/sbin/aide --init
   ExecStop=/sbin/aide --check
   Restart=on-failure

   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
This is a simple tutorial about how to start with AIDE tool ...

Fedora 42 : Still in the development without some features ...

An intrusion on my vodafone network , change my layout on windows.
Even the network provider say always is not from hardware or administration vodafone network ...
I tried to wrote a post on my graphics blogger on windows os , but I got something like this:
... ld ne frm 3 cmbire 224 ...
My nicknames comes like this: mhca caafe for mythcat and catafest ...
The tab and enter keys not works, also 1234 789 and num keys ... and more keys: s, t, w, y, o.
This post is wrote on Fedora 42 and works fine , but will be more good if this distro will have all features.
Some examples :
- Selinux still works but some enforced can change the default user permissions and privileges.
- Selinux works but you can use full features like : mls.
- the TPM device from this HP Laptop cannot be used with all features on Fedora.
In conclusion, this old laptop with Fedora and GNOME environment is more than 10 times faster human operations on the range of time, than the Asus laptop with the same 4GB RAM but with a different CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-60060 @ 2.00 GHz 1.99 GHz and windows 10 pro.

Fedora 42 : Fedora game project with pygame and agentpy - part 004.

... working on hacking game code , you can test two version of the unfinished game with agentpy at my pagure Fedora account.
* Hack the code based on minimal information versus total information. The code has 5 distinct letters. - click on the letters on the keypad - the number of guessed letters is displayed in the form: centered - guessed letters on positions and moved guessed letters but on other positions NOTE: the source code is under development, I need to enter a scroll to be able to enter more codes with letters

Fedora 42 : Fedora game project with pygame and agentpy - part 003.

I have upgraded the source code with the following changes:
  • added agent with logic using the python agentpy module;
  • I increased the grid to 16 x 16;
  • I kept the win condition at 8 pieces aligned in any direction;
  • I added conditions for displaying the equality message;
The game is hard to win, you can try on my pagure account.

Fedora 42 : Fedora game project with pygame and agentpy - part 001.

I started a game project with the python packages pygame and agentpy in the Fedora 42 Linux distribution.
I used this version of Fedora:
[mythcat@fedora fedora_game]$ uname -a
Linux fedora 6.11.0-63.fc42.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Sep 15 17:14:12 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux
... and this python version:
Python 3.12.3 (main, Apr 17 2024, 00:00:00) [GCC 14.0.1 20240411 (Red Hat 14.0.1-0)] on linux
You can find it on my fedora pagure repo
