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:
root@localhost:/home/mythcat# dnf5 install  python3-opencv.x86_64
The source code let you to open, change a image and save using sliders and a reset option.
This is the source code:

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 : 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

Today I tested the isoimagewriter tool on Fedora 42 and works well:
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 984 MiB, 1031798784 bytes, 2015232 sectors
Disk model: USB FLASH DRIVE 
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ isoimagewriter 
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ sudo file -s /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'CorePure64' (bootable)
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom /dev/sdb 
I used an linux iso image from CorePure64

Fedora 41 : python and Federated Message Bus in Fedora Linux Distro.

Federated Message Bus is a library built on ZeroMQ using the PyZMQ Python bindings. fedmsg aims to make it easy to connect services together using ZeroMQ publishers and subscribers.
You can use this python package named fedmsg to use this functionality ...
This is the source code :
import fedmsg
from fedmsg import *

import os
# Set the routing_nitpicky flag to True
os.environ['FEDMSG_ROUTING_NITPICKY'] = 'True'


config = fedmsg.config.load_config([],None)
config['mute'] = True
config['timeout'] = 0

for name, endpoint, topic, msg in fedmsg.tail_messages(**config):
    print ("name ", name)
This is the result :
[mythcat@fedora FedoraMessaging]$ python fedmsg_001.py
No routing policy defined for "org.fedoraproject.prod.copr.build.start" but routing_nitpicky is False so the message is being treated as authorized.

Fedora 41 : Memstrack tool.

A runtime memory allocation tracer, like a hot spot analyzer for memory allocation, can help analyze overall memory usage, peak memory usage, kernel module memory usage, all combined with stacktrace. Userspace memory trace is planned and not yet implemented.
This tool works by tracing all page-level memory allocation events in kernel (currently supports using perf or ftrace), and actively integrate the events into a stack trace tree. It can also work with kernel's page owner log file and use as a memory usage viewer.
I tested this tool today and it is quite useful for development and monitoring the operating system, it seems to work very well, you can even see in the screenshot how ...
You can find this project on the GitHub repo.

Flutter transforms the development process. Build, test, and deploy beautiful mobile, web, desktop, and embedded experiences from a single codebase.
Read more on the official webpage.
Theoretically, Flutter can be used much easier in the Fedora 40 Linux distribution than in a Windows operating system.
The Windows installation method requires more complicated steps with the use of S.D.K. and settings of Android Studio I.D.E. .

News : SELinux wizzard tool !

I found today in Fedora linux this tool for SELinux with a GUI that allows creating linux security policies.
I will write a little about this system because it is a very good solution.
When I started studying selinux, it was not very well implemented and it seems that the interest of users to be protected is higher.
As you well know, the starting points are network security and data protection and kernel-level intrusions into software.
For those who don't know, SELinux is a system that allows limiting defined resources and allowing other actions or not.
I tested the tool and I can say that it solves only the standard file creation part without the possibility of selecting the SELinux bools variables.
If the one who created this tool will continue to be a very good tool.
It's currently a wizzard interface, I'd call it a Node Editor to allow the assembly of different processing blocks (nodes) into combinations that feed data to each other along connections you specify to produce complex effects.
After completing the steps in the wizard, you will have some default files.
I used the name firefox because the security of the browser is very low at the moment.
Here are some images of this tool:

News : VirtualBox 7.0.14 released! from Oracle.

Oracle today released a 7.0 maintenance release which improves stability and fixes regressions. See the Changelog
I also use a version of Fedora running on VirtualBox for tests and rapid development.
Most use Linux on older hardware as a backup OS...
You can use Linux with specific non-default settings for good security of the operating system, but it does not make it invincible.
I don't know if VirtualBox solved the resize of the virtual partition - this was the last issue I encountered with this tool, but it is useful if you want to test something quickly.

Fedora 39 : Fixing common upgrade issues.

The most common issue is that the Linux system hangs due to disk space and upgrades.
Here's what you need to do:
Ensure you have root access by editing the boot sequence from the boot menu with the word single and entering the root password.
... start the network in the maintenance environment with the command:
# systemctl restart NetworkManager
Check if you can update with the DNF5 tool or DNF , see this webpage:
# dnf5 upgrade --refresh
If the update tool tells you that you have no space available, then you can clean up with:
# journalctl --disk-usage
# journalctl --vacuum-size=16M
The size of 16M is a relative size related to how the resource is allocated!
Another possibility would be to reallocate the space.
NOTE: If you are using a virtual disk with .vdi extension on Windows OS, then I don't have a solution.
Although virtualbox has an interface that would allow resizing the virtual disk, it didn't work for me.

Fedora 39 : Foot - the sway terminal.

Today, I will show how to use a fast, lightweight, and minimalistic Wayland terminal emulator named Foot.
You can install it easily with the DNF5 tool :
The project can be found on this codeberg repo.
On the sawy desktop environment, you can use Win+D keys just to type a command to start an application.
You can start easily by typing foot or you can type on an open terminal, see:
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ foot
warn: wayland.c:1509: fractional scaling not available
warn: wayland.c:1512: no server-side cursors available, falling back to client-side cursors
warn: fcft.c:583: failed to get full font name

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:
