Fedora 28 : LibreOffice remote connection.

I wrote a tutorial about the remote connection in LibreOffice, see this article.
The main problem with LibreOffice development is the changes.
Now the feature Open remote is not working.
The bug is officially recognized and represented, see the page.
They inform us, see comment 31:
John R Mead 2017-12-17 22:43:03 UTC Well, it still doesn't work with LibreOffice Version: 6.0.0.0.beta1 (x64); I'm not providing screenshots this time since it's identical in everyway to my previous attempts. At the end of all the copy/pasting between LibreOffice and my browser to get all the relevant permissions, when I finally make the attempt to connect, I get the same message: The specified device is invalid.

Current system configuration of potentially relevant software:

Windows 10 Professional (x64) Version 1709 (build 16299.125)
Java 9.0.1
Microsoft - OneDrive version 17.25.1.0 (x64)
LibreOffice Version: 6.0.0.0.beta1 (x64)

It's a common practice to see open-source software with bugs, most bugs are already available to users to avoid problems.
Most backup bugs are authentication and changes in development.

Fedora 28 : The Revel framework with golang.

The development team has a very effective text:
A high productivity, full-stack web framework for the Go language.
They used this words:
Revel provides routing, parameter parsing, validation, session/flash, templating, caching, job running, a testing framework, and even internationalization. I tested it yesterday and today I will show you how effective it is.
This framework is very easy to install and use it with Fedora 28.
I could say this is like django framework with the temptation style.
Let's start with a simple example into a folder created by me and named gocode:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ mkdir ~/gocode
[mythcat@desk ~]$ export GOPATH=~/gocode
[mythcat@desk ~]$ echo export GOPATH=$GOPATH >> ~/.bash_profile
[mythcat@desk ~]$ cd gocode/
[mythcat@desk gocode]$ go get github.com/revel/revel
[mythcat@desk gocode]$ ls
pkg  src
[mythcat@desk gocode]$ go get github.com/revel/cmd/revel
[mythcat@desk gocode]$ ls
bin  pkg  src
[mythcat@desk gocode]$ export PATH="$PATH:$GOPATH/bin"
[mythcat@desk gocode]$ revel helpDEBUG 19:24:09  revel  server.go:27: arguments by adding nil
~
~ revel! http://revel.github.io
~
usage: revel command [arguments]

The commands are:

    new         create a skeleton Revel application
    run         run a Revel application
    build       build a Revel application (e.g. for deployment)
    package     package a Revel application (e.g. for deployment)
    clean       clean a Revel application's temp files
    test        run all tests from the command-line
    version     displays the Revel Framework and Go version

Use "revel help [command]" for more information.
[mythcat@desk gocode]$ ls
bin  pkg  src
[mythcat@desk gocode]$ revel new myapp
DEBUG 19:38:50  revel  server.go:27: RegisterServerEngine: Registered engine 
~
~ revel! http://revel.github.io
~
Your application is ready:
   /home/mythcat/gocode/src/myapp

You can run it with:
   revel run myapp
[mythcat@desk gocode]$ revel run myapp
DEBUG 19:39:15  revel  server.go:27: RegisterServerEngine: Registered engine 
~
~ revel! http://revel.github.io
~
Trying to build with myapp (0x0,0x0)
DEBUG 19:39:15  revel module.go:152: Sorted keys  section=module keys=module.static 
...

Let's see the source code - in this case the default files: app.go and Index.html .

[mythcat@desk gocode]$ cd src/myapp/app/
[mythcat@desk app]$ ls
controllers  init.go  routes  tmp  views
[mythcat@desk app]$ cd controllers/
[mythcat@desk controllers]$ ls
app.go
[mythcat@desk controllers]$ cat app.go 
package controllers

import (
    "github.com/revel/revel"
)

type App struct {
    *revel.Controller
}

func (c App) Index() revel.Result {
    return c.Render()
}

[mythcat@desk App]$ cat Index.html

The cat command will show the source code of Index.html file.
Let's add a golang variable named greeting to app.go and Index.html files:

[mythcat@desk controllers]$ cat app.go 
package controllers

import (
    "github.com/revel/revel"
)

type App struct {
    *revel.Controller
}

func (c App) Index() revel.Result {
    greeting := "Fedora and revel framework !"
    return c.Render(greeting)
}

This variable greeting will will be add into file Index.html with tag p after It works!
This is result of two screenshots from start install and after I change with the variable greeting.

Fedora 28 : Linux application with node.js and Electron packager.

Today I make a tutorial about how to use node.js and Electron packager to create cross-platform applications.
The tutorial show you how to create Windows, Linux and Mac OS cross-platform applications and can be found here.
This is result of running the linux application with Fedora 28:

Fedora 28 : Godot example with linux .

Today I tested a simple example with the game engine named Godot version 3.0.6.
It was created on a Windows 8.1 operating system and exported as a linux application.
I moved the two files to the Fedora 28 operating system.

The assembly mscorlib.dll was not found or could not be loaded.
It should have been installed in the `/usr/lib/mono/4.5/mscorlib.dll' directory.

The error occurred from the mono package and I fixed it with the installation using the dnf tool.

Fedora 28 : Using the python module sh .

Today I test another python module named sh with python version 3.6.5 and Fedora 28.
This python module named sh is a full-fledged subprocess replacement for Python 2.6 - 3.5, PyPy and PyPy3 that allows you to call any program as if it were a function.
You can read bout this python module here.
I used dnf tool to search and install the pip tool :

Fedora 28 : Starting develop with Flutter .

Today I started with another programming language Dart and Flutter.
The development team tell us about Flutter:
Flutter is Google's mobile UI framework for crafting high-quality native interfaces on iOS and Android in record time. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.
You can read more about this on official webpage:
About linux setup you can read here.
You need also to download the Android Studio I.D.E from official webpage.
You need to install some packages using dnf tool:

[mythcat@desk ~]# dnf install libstdc++.i686
[mythcat@desk ~]#  dnf install curl

Unzip theAndroid Studio I.D.E.into android-studio folder and start it to make settings for android SDK and AVD emulated device:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ cd android-studio/
[mythcat@desk android-studio]$ ls 
bin        gradle                 jre  license      NOTICE.txt
build.txt  Install-Linux-tar.txt  lib  LICENSE.txt  plugins
[mythcat@desk android-studio]$ cd bin/
[mythcat@desk bin]$ ls
appletviewer.policy  idea.properties  printenv.py         studio.sh
format.sh            inspect.sh       restart.py          studio.vmoptions
fsnotifier           lldb             studio64.vmoptions
fsnotifier64         log.xml          studio.png
[mythcat@desk bin]$ ./studio.sh

Select Plugins to add Dart and Flotter plugins:

You need to install Dart and Flotter plugins, use search:

Download and unarchive the Flutter from official webpage.
Next steps is to set the path for the Flutter and make settings for android licenses:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ export PATH=`pwd`/flutter/bin:$PATH
[mythcat@desk ~]$ cd flutter/
[mythcat@desk flutter]$ ls
analysis_options_repo.yaml  bin              flutter_console.bat  README.md
analysis_options.yaml       CONTRIBUTING.md  LICENSE              version

[mythcat@desk flutter]$ cd bin/
[mythcat@desk bin]$ ls
cache  flutter  flutter.bat  internal
[mythcat@desk bin]$ ./flutter doctor --android-licenses
