Fedora 25: First test with clamav antivirus.

This is a short tutorial about how to use ClamAV antivirus on Fedora 25.
First, you need to install it with this commands:

[root@localhost mythcat]# dnf install clamav.x86_64 
...

[root@localhost mythcat]# dnf install clamav-update.x86_64
...

Make settings into your /etc/freshclam.conf file. I used awk tool to show you my settings from /etc/freshclam.conf:

[root@localhost mythcat]# awk -F: '/^[^#]/ { print $1 }' /etc/freshclam.conf | uniq 

DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav
UpdateLogFile /var/log/freshclam.log
LogFileMaxSize 2M
LogTime yes
LogVerbose yes
LogSyslog yes
LogFacility LOG_MAIL
LogRotate yes
DatabaseOwner clamupdate
DNSDatabaseInfo current.cvd.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
MaxAttempts 5
ScriptedUpdates yes
DetectionStatsCountry country-code
SafeBrowsing yes

Update the ClamAV antivirus with :

[root@localhost mythcat]# /usr/bin/freshclam

Now you can run it on Fedora 25 folder with this.

[root@localhost mythcat]# clamscan

This tool comes with many options and features for Fedora workstations and server. Just read the documentation and make your changes. To check all files on the computer, but only display infected files and ring a bell when found:

clamscan -r --bell -i / 

To check files in the all users home directories:

clamscan -r /home 

If you got this error:

LibClamAV Warning: fmap_readpage: pread fail: ... 

Then this comes from sysfs and is a virtual file system provided by the Linux kernel and need to be excluded with this arg:

--exclude-dir="^/sys"

--exclude-dir=^/sys  --exclude-dir=^/dev --exclude-dir=^/proc 

My result of scan ( the file FOUND is not a virus) :

QEMU - Devil Linux on Fedora 25.

QEMU (short for Quick Emulator) is a free and open-source hosted hypervisor that performs hardware virtualization QEMU is a hosted virtual machine monitor. You can install this software using dnf tool.

dnf install qemu.x86_64 

You can use any iso image from internet to run and test your distro linux. Just use this command:
I tested with Devil Linux iso without network ( the main reason was the settings of Devil Linux distro).

qemu-system-x86_64 -boot d -cdrom ~/devil-linux-1.8.0-rc2-x86_64/bootcd.iso --enable-kvm -m 2048
 -netdev user,id=user.0

Some args of qemu tool:
- qemu-system-x86_64 is the option for x86 architecture (64 bit);
- boot and -d set options for booting and debug;
- the -cdrom option set the iso file path and file;
- the --enable-kvm enable Kernel Virtual Machine;
- the -m 2048 set memory;
- the -netdev user,id=user.0 that tells us about qemu to use the user mode network stack which requires no administrator privilege to run;  
About QEMU VLAN.
QEMU networking uses a networking technology that is like VLAN. The QEMU forward packets to guest operating systems that are on the same VLAN. Examples with qemu-kvm options:

-net nic,model=virtio,vlan=0,macaddr=00:16:3e:00:01:01 
-net tap,vlan=0,script=/root/ifup-br0,downscript=/root/ifdown-br0 
-net nic,model=virtio,vlan=1,macaddr=00:16:3e:00:01:02 
-net tap,vlan=1,script=/root/ifup-br1,downscript=/root/ifdown-br1

- net nic command defines a network adapter in the guest operating system. - net tap command defines how QEMU configures the host. You can disabling networking entirely:

-net none

News: WikiLeaks begins its new series of leaks on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.

This is a old news and comes from WikiLeaks how to start one new series of leaks on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.
For me is another way to show bugs to people.
The article can be found here:
Some software come with new updates to fix bugs - like notepad, see article: Notepad++ 7.3.3 update fixe.

Fedora 25: Enable gnome notifications Fedmsg and Openweather.

This tutorial is about gnome environment and notifications.
If you want to see notifications about your work and account under Fedora distro or just to see the weather then you need to deal with this tools.
Take a look to your gnome version and shell version:

[mythcat@localhost ~]$ gnome-about --gnome-version 
Version: 2.32.0
Distributor: Red Hat, Inc
Build Date: 02/04/2016
[mythcat@localhost ~]$ gnome-shell --version 
GNOME Shell 3.22.3

Use the dnf install tool and get this packages:

gnome-weather.noarch : A weather application for GNOME
gnome-weather-tests.noarch : Tests for the gnome-weather package
gnome-shell-extension-openweather.noarch : Display weather information from many
gnome-shell-extension-apps-menu.noarch : Application menu for GNOME Shell
gnome-shell.x86_64 : Window management and application launching for GNOME
gnome-shell-extension-common.noarch : Files common to GNOME Shell Extensions
gnome-tweak-tool.noarch : A tool to customize advanced GNOME 3 options

Use this command to make settings:

[mythcat@localhost ~]$ gnome-tweak-tool

You will see a window with options for enable Fedmsg and Openweather notifications.
After select on option then just use right click to make settings for each extension.

Fedora 25: Install the ffmpeg tools .

Install from web the repos rpmfusion using root account:

The ScreenFetch tool with Fedora 25 .

ScreenFetch is a System Information Tool designed primarily for Bash Shell but function with other shell environment as well.

Fedora: telnet game - BatMUD.

This is a good game if you have a telnet and internet connection.
Just open your terminal, run the telnet command and type o to open this: batmud.bat.org 23.
The game has an official website.
The team tells us about this game:

What is BatMUD - scratching the surface 

One could go on and rant for hours and hours about the Game. If you're not familiar with BatMUD, don't worry - you won't even be after the first week of playing. The game's not easy, it was never intended to be. The first eyeful can be deceiving, especially as we live in the fully graphical world of commercially produced, hundred-million dollar budget behemoths. Our game, it's nothing like that; even though we tend to boast that it is more, and trust us - it is. A problem with the modern day games is that, eventually they become very dull or simply uninspiring. However, BatMUD's text-based approach it is different, somewhat to as reading a good book - it's all about your imagination. Hundreds of volunteer developers through the Decades have brought a special uniqueness to the Game, and new ones continue the Legacy to this day. We cater to almost everyone: the available options and playstyles are basically endless. It's Your Realm.

Fedora 25: The perf linux tool.

If you want a good tool to test your performance under Fedora 25 distro or linux then the perf tool is great.
You can read a full tutorial from perf wiki and that will give a good impression on this utility.
The main problem come when you need to understand why we have to use this utility in linux.
Intro A trivial use the top command will show you the necessary information about your Linux.
If you look closely you will notice that : load average: 0.09, 0.05, 0.01
The three numbers represent averages over progressively longer periods of time (one, five, and fifteen minute averages). This means for us: that lower numbers are better and the higher numbers represent a problem or an overloaded machine. Now about multicore and multiprocessor the rule is simple: the total number of cores is what matters, regardless of how many physical processors those cores are spread across. Let's use this command: First I will record some data about my CPU:

[mythcat@localhost ~]$ perf record -e cpu-clock -ag 
Error:
You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats.

Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
which controls use of the performance events system by
unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

The current value is 2:

  -1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
>= 0: Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_IOC_LOCK
>= 1: Disallow CPU event access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 2: Disallow kernel profiling by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
[mythcat@localhost ~]$ su 
Password: 
[root@localhost mythcat]# perf record -e cpu-clock -ag 
^C[ perf record: Woken up 17 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 5.409 MB perf.data (38518 samples) ]

[root@localhost mythcat]# ls -l perf.data
-rw-------. 1 mythcat mythcat 5683180 Feb 21 13:24 perf.data

You can see the perf tool working with root account and result is owned by deafult user. Let's show this data using the default user - mythcat and perf tool:
[mythcat@localhost ~]$ perf report
The result of this command: You can use the full list events by using this command:

[mythcat@localhost ~]$ perf list 

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

  branch-instructions OR branches                    [Hardware event]
  branch-misses                                      [Hardware event]
  bus-cycles                                         [Hardware event]
  cache-misses                                       [Hardware event]
  cache-references                                   [Hardware event]
  cpu-cycles OR cycles                               [Hardware event]
  instructions                                       [Hardware event]
  ref-cycles                                         [Hardware event]

  alignment-faults                                   [Software event]
  bpf-output                                         [Software event]
  context-switches OR cs                             [Software event]
  cpu-clock                                          [Software event]
  cpu-migrations OR migrations                       [Software event]
  dummy                                              [Software event]
  emulation-faults                                   [Software event]
  major-faults                                       [Software event]
  minor-faults                                       [Software event]
  page-faults OR faults                              [Software event]
  task-clock                                         [Software event]

Let's see one event from this list and that will told us how Fedora working:

[root@localhost mythcat]# perf top -e minor-faults -ns comm

Is use the comm (keys are available: pid, comm, dso, symbol, parent, cpu, socket, srcline, weight, local_weight) and the -ns args see the manual of perf command. The result of this command is: This is most simple way to see how is start and close some pids and how they interact in real-time with the operating system. Another way to deal with the perf command is how to analyze most scheduler properties from within 'perf sched' alone using the perf sched with the five sub-commands currently:

perf sched record            # low-overhead recording of arbitrary workloads
perf sched latency           # output per task latency metrics
perf sched map               # show summary/map of context-switching
perf sched trace             # output finegrained trace
perf sched replay            # replay a captured workload using simlated threads

Try this example to see the to capture a trace and then to check latencies (which analyzes the trace in perf.data record file).

perf sched record sleep 10     # record full system activity for 10 seconds
perf sched latency --sort max  # report latencies sorted by max 

You can also make a map of map of scheduling events by using this command:

[root@localhost mythcat]# perf sched record 

This tutorial show you just only 1% of ways of using the perf command.

Fedora 25: running Geekbench.

You can test your CPU with this software and will see report online.
The official website told us about this tool:
Geekbench 4 measures your system's power and tells you whether your computer is ready to roar. How strong is your mobile device or desktop computer? How will it perform when push comes to crunch? These are the questions that Geekbench can answer.
You can use free or buy a license for this software and you can get it from here.
Let's see how is working and what is tested:

[mythcat@localhost Geekbench-4.0.4-Linux]$ ls
geekbench4  geekbench.plar  geekbench_x86_32  geekbench_x86_64
[mythcat@localhost Geekbench-4.0.4-Linux]$ ./geekbench4 
[0219/140337:INFO:src/base/archive_file.cpp(43)] Found archive at 
/home/mythcat/build.pulse/dist/Geekbench-4.0.4-Linux/geekbench.plar
Geekbench 4.0.4 Tryout : http://www.geekbench.com/

Geekbench 4 is in tryout mode.

Geekbench 4 requires an active Internet connection when in tryout mode, and 
automatically uploads test results to the Geekbench Browser. Other features 
are unavailable in tryout mode.

Buy a Geekbench 4 license to enable offline use and remove the limitations of 
tryout mode.

If you would like to purchase Geekbench you can do so online:

  https://store.primatelabs.com/v4

If you have already purchased Geekbench, enter your email address and license 
key from your email receipt with the following command line:

  ./geekbench4 -r email address="" license key=""

Dealing with Mono under Fedora 25.

As you know the new Fedora come with dnf tool options you can use to define a DNF repository ( see link ).
This can be a problem for new users if want to install the mono development tools because they can get this error:
...
warning: /var/cache/dnf/download.mono-project.com_repo_centos-beta_-36cf85be8e79dffc/packages/mono-devel-4.8.0.483-0.xamarin.1.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID d3d831ef: NOKEY
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.
Error: Public key for mono-devel-4.8.0.483-0.xamarin.1.x86_64.rpm is not installed

To fix that error you just need to use this commands:

[root@localhost mythcat]# rpm  --import "http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF"
[root@localhost fedora25_test001]# dnf config-manager --add-repo http://jenkins.mono-project.com/repo/centos/
Adding repo from: http://jenkins.mono-project.com/repo/centos/
[root@localhost fedora25_test001]# dnf update
[root@localhost mythcat]# dnf install mono-devel
...

[root@localhost mythcat]# dnf install monodevelop

Now you can start the monodevelop with this command:

[mythcat@localhost ~]$ monodevelop

I make a simple mono GTK# window into few steps:
The result of project come with this files:

Testing Unity 3D with Fedora 25 start with some bugs.

Today I will tested the Unity 3D with Fedora 25.
The hardware I used is:

The install can be used into root account:
[mythcat@localhost Downloads]$ sh unity-editor-installer-5.1.0f3+2015082501.sh This installer must be run as root. [mythcat@localhost Downloads]$ su Password: [root@localhost Downloads]# sh unity-editor-installer-5.1.0f3+2015082501.sh Installer for Unity 5.1.0f3 Press Enter to begin extracting to ./unity-editor-5.1.0f3 Unpacking Unity 5.1.0f3 ... 
Extraction complete. Run ./unity-editor-5.1.0f3/Editor/Unity to begin
First start of Unity come with this error:
$ ./unity-editor-5.1.0f3/Editor/Unity ./unity-editor-5.1.0f3/Editor/Unity: /home/mythcat/Downloads/unity-editor-5.1.0f3/Editor/Data/Tools/libgpg-error.so.0: no version information available (required by /lib64/libgcrypt.so.20) ./unity-editor-5.1.0f3/Editor/Unity: relocation error: /lib64/libgcrypt.so.20: symbol gpg_err_set_errno, version GPG_ERROR_1.0 not defined in file libgpg-error.so.0 with link time reference
I need to remove libgpg-error.so.0 file the from this folder:
rm /home/mythcat/Downloads/unity-editor-5.1.0f3/Editor/Data/Tools
After that the Unity Editor start well but another error come into default Unity scene.
Errors and problems I found:
- the new material cannot be added to the 3D object by drag and drop;
- the skybox come with a pink color without the sky I know from Windows OS (maybe some problems come from video: Shader compiler: internal error compiling shader snippet type=1 platform=0: Error reading external process - read 0 bytes and this Shader compiler: internal error compiling shader snippet type=1 platform=0: Error reading external process - read 0 bytes);
- the open C# script not work;
I make a Unity application - default scene and worked well.
I make a bug report here.
You can download the Unity sh file from here.
