He does, however, occasionally go in the correct direction, as seen by the <a href="https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/07/unreal-engine-5-editor-quietly-gets-a-proper-linux-version/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">release</a> of some Unreal Engine executables for Linux.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, unlike macOS and Windows, Unreal Engine has had official support for Linux for years. To install Unreal Engine on the open source platform, you had to go through a laborious build procedure, as we demonstrated on Ubuntu 14.04 seven years ago. That instruction is obviously no longer relevant given the passage of time, but up until recently it was the only method for installing and running Unreal Engine on Linux.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">By eliminating the requirement to go through the build process, Linux users will enjoy support that is somewhat similar to what Windows and macOS users have traditionally had. Despite the fact that the source code is freely downloadable under a proprietary license and that compiling it even on proprietary systems may be practical in some circumstances, the lack of readily available generated binaries puts Linux at a distinct disadvantage when compared to Linux. competitors of yours.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You may click on this <a href="https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/linux" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">link to get the built version of Unreal Engine for Linux</a>. You need an <b>Epic Games account</b> to begin the download process, which may be made either directly or by linking an existing Facebook, Google, Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, Nintendo, Steam, or Apple account. The user must first agree the terms of use before beginning the download if it is the first time. When Unreal Engine is decompressed, the more than 20GB <b>ZIP file that contains it becomes a directory that takes up more than 56GB of disk space</b>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is possible to launch the editor by running the following command after decompressing the ZIP file, a process that can take a while if one does not have a powerful computer, or by choosing the path shown with the file explorer from the location where find the directory with unzipped Unreal Engine (the <i>5.0.3</i> corresponds to the version, so that part will change soon):</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">./Linux_Unreal_Engine_5.0.3/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UnrealEditor</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">Although Ubuntu is <a href="https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/linux-development-requirements-for-unreal-engine/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">advised at the level of prerequisites</a>, this server doesn't know how to utilize Unreal Engine, so I can't say whether the version created for Linux actually works well or not. However, at least it has been able to launch the editor on Fedora 36 Silverblue.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwnPcXZN3g_d2o0z0OxF5Cr3nzrNUfW3sSIjD0aMtyMLBdkl52MSFXeqs714x_hvAfXYASBhOxVc96sobPsLNIFXXvzex8VLxVNdSMl3V6b4d_lurE6VbrNLBrYtR7p6a-F8O1VBbquq3JOrHpxK20bFgMOEJWJEIk1HatTAshqIre6qbX0A3_HFt3qA/s1920/Compiled-version-of-Unreal-Engine-running-on-Linux.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Compiled-version-of-Unreal-Engine-running-on-Linux" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwnPcXZN3g_d2o0z0OxF5Cr3nzrNUfW3sSIjD0aMtyMLBdkl52MSFXeqs714x_hvAfXYASBhOxVc96sobPsLNIFXXvzex8VLxVNdSMl3V6b4d_lurE6VbrNLBrYtR7p6a-F8O1VBbquq3JOrHpxK20bFgMOEJWJEIk1HatTAshqIre6qbX0A3_HFt3qA/s16000/Compiled-version-of-Unreal-Engine-running-on-Linux.jpg" title="Compiled-version-of-Unreal-Engine-running-on-Linux" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">And last, the novelty of Unreal Engine for Linux, which at least can now be launched without having to fiddle with the dependencies until it is compiled in a process that is typically more difficult to complete outside of Ubuntu owing to the absence of documentation.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688951718365111860.post-23087600142597025402022-07-23T16:52:00.000+01:002022-07-23T16:52:12.737+01:00Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: fix warning "Key is stored in legacy trusted.gpg keyring"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhra1OcFLpE6lZp3iLL3oh0zzv-CCwBtpyFfEx-BfmJkkV5X9oFvHSAdGDanlMs-tN9Rdf0MLdT8xF49c7n7YR5Nb957TEryls3f8478AF7hA6QGc881iTTq9Xz_KUZiTVcOcU_h0Q8ptNR7xi8RSwBfV61v-rNHGs7XYMxfQ6mfdbAx93oyKnJ_bKZDw/s699/system_program_Problem_detected.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="system_program_Problem_detected" border="0" data-original-height="402" data-original-width="699" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhra1OcFLpE6lZp3iLL3oh0zzv-CCwBtpyFfEx-BfmJkkV5X9oFvHSAdGDanlMs-tN9Rdf0MLdT8xF49c7n7YR5Nb957TEryls3f8478AF7hA6QGc881iTTq9Xz_KUZiTVcOcU_h0Q8ptNR7xi8RSwBfV61v-rNHGs7XYMxfQ6mfdbAx93oyKnJ_bKZDw/s16000/system_program_Problem_detected.jpeg" title="system_program_Problem_detected" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">I just saw an APT problem while upgrading the system repositories after adding a PPA when using Linux Mint 21 Beta (for the record that of LibreOffice).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is the error:</p><blockquote><p>W: http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu/dists/jammy/InRelease: Key is stored in legacy trusted.gpg keyring (/etc/apt/trusted.gpg), see the DEPRECATION section in apt-key(8) for details.</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">The issue arises as a result of apt-deprecation key's on Debian, Ubuntu, and various derivatives.

In this case, python3 is the real Python command.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's okay if you don't understand. I'll go into more depth here.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Why can't I find a Python command in Ubuntu?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">To differentiate between the two, they gave the newest Python version the name <b>python2</b>. Python or Python2 was also mentioned by other programs or libraries in their code.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In the end, Python version 1 was fully abandoned, although the package's name remained <b>python2</b>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Similar to this, distributors began offering both <b>python2 </b>and <b>python3 </b>packages when Python version 3 was released.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Python 2 is no longer supported, and Ubuntu only includes Python 3.x. The package's name is still Python 3.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>In conclusion, Python is already installed in Ubuntu. It may be found as a Python 3 package.</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">What choices do you have then when Ubuntu reports a Python command not found an error? I'll go through them now.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Make sure Python is installed on your computer</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Although it ought to be installed already, it doesn't hurt to check.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ubuntu 18.04 also supported Python 2, however only Python 3 is available in 20.04 and later versions. Which version(s) do you still have with:</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">type python python2 python3</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">The command below will install Python version 3 if you don't already have it installed:</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">sudo apt install python3</p></blockquote><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Instead of Python, use Python 3</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Use the python3 command wherever possible in place of the python command, if it isn't too much bother for you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Want to know what version of Python is installed? Use it as follows:</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">python3 --version</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">Additionally, the output includes version information:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">Example:~$ python3 --version</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Python 3.10.4</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you must run a Python application, run it as follows:</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">python3 program.py</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">In most situations, this ought to work for you. You'll run into problems if you're running a (old) Python program that expects to launch the python executable in its code. Don't worry; there are ways to avoid it as well.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Connect Python3 as Python</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">In your <i>.bashrc</i> file, you may establish a permanent alias as follows:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><blockquote>alias python='python3'</blockquote><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In this manner, your computer will launch <b>Python3</b> when you use the <b>python </b>command.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Most of the time, it will function unless an application demands that <i>/usr/bin/python</i> be launched. Currently, a symlink between <i>/usr/bin/python</i> and <i>/usr/bin/python3</i> is possible, but Ubuntu users have an easier solution.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you install the <i>python-is-python3</i> package for Ubuntu 20.04 and later, a package that automatically creates all links is available. This is also what the first error notice implied.</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">sudo apt install python-is-python3</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">Symlinks may be shown to have been generated, and the python command (which executes Python 3) can be used without any problems.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This should put the Python package on Ubuntu in the clear. Please let me know if you have any questions or recommendations.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688951718365111860.post-87820049809383188412022-07-16T16:01:00.004+01:002022-07-16T16:01:34.725+01:00How to create an Ubuntu installation flash drive<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbZVN225paIw2qgCCHoFC4PGXH1c7uJaBn_hhI9H4ZYN7naG21Xn1DW3GQ1Kc1Y_LZYmvRAueglZGuddYnBZVtlqySedaXLqtTv8a-WvMVmfesOXNQOVGtHIq1BF18xVefazNUPTvE96IA_BnCV1MWl6mJJfimlPBoOyUWAuiYjvKedJZ_r5zd7CyYoA/s698/Linux-Pen-drive.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Linux-Pen-drive" border="0" data-original-height="698" data-original-width="698" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbZVN225paIw2qgCCHoFC4PGXH1c7uJaBn_hhI9H4ZYN7naG21Xn1DW3GQ1Kc1Y_LZYmvRAueglZGuddYnBZVtlqySedaXLqtTv8a-WvMVmfesOXNQOVGtHIq1BF18xVefazNUPTvE96IA_BnCV1MWl6mJJfimlPBoOyUWAuiYjvKedJZ_r5zd7CyYoA/s16000/Linux-Pen-drive.jpg" title="Linux-Pen-drive" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Have you downloaded the Ubuntu ISO file and wish to transfer its data to a USB stick? So, here's a tutorial on how to make an installation flash drive.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For anyone who coexists with other computers, having a Linux distribution on a flash drive is an intriguing resource. In addition to the excellent mobility and usefulness of the media, starting a system using a Pendrive is becoming simpler.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">There is thus nothing better than making an Ubuntu installation Disc and utilizing it to install, fix broken or infected systems, or just test the system and its upcoming updates.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Boot Disk Creator or USB Creator, a program that is very simple to use because it functions as a wizard, will be used to complete this process. Even better, this software is pre-installed in Ubuntu as of version 8.10.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">How to create an Ubuntu installation flash drive</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Use the steps below to make a USB installation stick for Ubuntu.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Do the following after confirming the ISO image:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 1</b>: choose Dash/Activities and enter "<i>criador</i>". Click the "Startup Disk Creator" icon to launch it when it appears</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 2</b>: Select the "Other..." button inside the software. Navigate to the folder containing the ISO image and click it on the screen that displays. then select "Open" from the menu</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 3</b>: Select "Erase Disk" if you wish to "clean" the flash drive or if it hasn't been formatted yet. acknowledge and notify the required authority to do the formatting when requested</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 4</b>: Select "Create boot disk" to launch the procedure and produce an installation flash drive</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 5</b>: Wait. After you're done, you may eject the flash drive and use it as you choose.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688951718365111860.post-59175581678190696822022-07-15T22:04:00.003+01:002022-07-15T22:04:33.232+01:00Tuxedo Aquaris, a Tuxedo liquid cooling system for Linux laptops<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6moUylyOXKJr8foAQTX9jOqlQeaSpCs8RPzclVTNcPnUgZW6-UN9-bw6B5xCkIlNofixvOYOO3NSusN7df_ukVuiRc4i2qxaEXHqfmhSqO6bqtNF6H4RIEWHbbzuDWANIHO9ZnMthfuAYf5pOp31jA-NACAui5iiowJoO_dlNKAipGCs42d8PatXpYg/s1666/Tuxedo-Aquaris-a-Tuxedo-liquid-cooling-system-for-Linux-laptops.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Tuxedo-Aquaris-a-Tuxedo-liquid-cooling-system-for-Linux-laptops" border="0" data-original-height="849" data-original-width="1666" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6moUylyOXKJr8foAQTX9jOqlQeaSpCs8RPzclVTNcPnUgZW6-UN9-bw6B5xCkIlNofixvOYOO3NSusN7df_ukVuiRc4i2qxaEXHqfmhSqO6bqtNF6H4RIEWHbbzuDWANIHO9ZnMthfuAYf5pOp31jA-NACAui5iiowJoO_dlNKAipGCs42d8PatXpYg/s16000/Tuxedo-Aquaris-a-Tuxedo-liquid-cooling-system-for-Linux-laptops.jpg" title="Tuxedo-Aquaris-a-Tuxedo-liquid-cooling-system-for-Linux-laptops" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Introducing the Tuxedo Aquaris liquid cooling solution for Linux laptops. Look into the specifics of this news.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">High-performance gaming PCs (and even certain smartphones) are protected from overheating by liquid cooling systems. However, liquid cooling is not unheard of but is considerably less popular on laptops.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Earlier this year, XMG unveiled a liquid cooling add-on intended to connect with supported laptops and deliver extra cooling power when plugged in.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Tuxedo Aquaris is a laptop-plug-in external water-cooling system that circulates liquid within the computer to assist lower temperatures while minimizing fan noise.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Aquaris cooling dock can only be used while stationary due to the way this system is built; it cannot be used while moving.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Additionally, it will only function with compatible laptops that have inner tubes made for moving water. That means that upon launch, it is only compatible with the Tuxedo Stellaris 15 Gen 4 laptop.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd1ElVvh2Ql61B3ykxjkOSG_9_oU0LcalJ0B2PbJlVaD2UBddW5zRvmqr7EHAd65CX7kBdVaY92ZnZAnJ5hxPoTgw389Jie8UMFR7H13UD0YCN1GTwjZ8h65yCckrge9XKzijoVB6AEzpbwAeXO8-ZKcXJS4o751_vToDbz4QC6vJJ8YSHoPk1IZdVNw/s1598/Tuxedo-Aquaris-a-Tuxedo-liquid-cooling-system-for-Linux-laptops1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Tuxedo-Aquaris-a-Tuxedo-liquid-cooling-system-for-Linux-laptops1" border="0" data-original-height="846" data-original-width="1598" height="338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd1ElVvh2Ql61B3ykxjkOSG_9_oU0LcalJ0B2PbJlVaD2UBddW5zRvmqr7EHAd65CX7kBdVaY92ZnZAnJ5hxPoTgw389Jie8UMFR7H13UD0YCN1GTwjZ8h65yCckrge9XKzijoVB6AEzpbwAeXO8-ZKcXJS4o751_vToDbz4QC6vJJ8YSHoPk1IZdVNw/w640-h338/Tuxedo-Aquaris-a-Tuxedo-liquid-cooling-system-for-Linux-laptops1.jpg" title="Tuxedo-Aquaris-a-Tuxedo-liquid-cooling-system-for-Linux-laptops1" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">However, it's feasible that the business may offer new laptops that support the Aquaris cooler if the technology proves to be successful.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Given that the Tuxedo Stellaris 15 Gen 4 is a 15.6-inch laptop with a 2560 x 1440 pixel display at 240 Hz, support for an Intel Core i9-12900H CPU up to 45 watts, and 280 watt NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics, it's not hard to think that the notebook may become very warm.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, having liquid cooling looks a little monotonous.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Instead of just disconnecting your laptop at the conclusion of a work or gaming session, you'll need to take a few minutes to make sure you don't accidentally drop it in your bag since you need to entirely drain the liquid out of it before you can transport it securely.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to <a href="https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=TUXEDO-Aquaris-Linux-Water" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Phoronix</a>, Tuxedo actually unveiled the Stellaris 15 Gen 4 and Aquaris water cooling system earlier this year, but the cooler at the time was only compatible with Windows-based laptops.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The open source Control Center software from <a href="https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-Control-Center.tuxedo" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tuxedo</a> now includes functionality for liquid cooling controls and offers Linux drivers for developers.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688951718365111860.post-51408919970891536952022-07-13T18:56:00.004+01:002022-07-13T18:56:43.052+01:00Top 10 useful features of Windows 11 task manager<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLOsuGotpe19EJe2ObHERPyQ7nMn3jzPGoph3K1LaGRJXLhilOc6jDkHjhSvUO4-ZDXaM5sFEZN4ozlUpi2XTwDdl8jYpV2UXJJzu_djX_LPzqQD-dmrc2wEldifrGw5ONc-hg0Ib-VPmGeVEEpZRyWH2_OmFfwLBDlejTRwC7Bz5_ui4ABoSAoiOYVQ/s1146/Windows-11-task-manager.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Windows-11-task-manager" border="0" data-original-height="858" data-original-width="1146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLOsuGotpe19EJe2ObHERPyQ7nMn3jzPGoph3K1LaGRJXLhilOc6jDkHjhSvUO4-ZDXaM5sFEZN4ozlUpi2XTwDdl8jYpV2UXJJzu_djX_LPzqQD-dmrc2wEldifrGw5ONc-hg0Ib-VPmGeVEEpZRyWH2_OmFfwLBDlejTRwC7Bz5_ui4ABoSAoiOYVQ/s16000/Windows-11-task-manager.jpg" title="Windows-11-task-manager" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Windows 11 task manager is one of the most useful tools in the latest operating system from Microsoft. And from previous versions, because it is one of the oldest internal Windows management applications.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As you know, this tool is intended for medium-advanced or professional users who want to <b>thoroughly control the operation of their computer or solve some problems</b> that arise from its use. An ordinary user usually uses it only for its most well-known function, such as ending a frozen application, but its uses go much further, as we are going to remind you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Microsoft extensively renewed it in Windows 10 with the addition of some functions and greater integration, something that has been completed in Windows 11, leaving us with a really interesting tool when we know its capabilities.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">How to access the Windows 11 task manager</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li>Accessing this tool is extremely simple and can be done in a number of ways, including using keyboard shortcuts. We review them:</li><li><b>Ctrl + Alt + Del:</b> This is the method that almost everyone knows, but it is not the fastest because in Windows 11 it does not start directly and you will have to make an additional click to start it</li><li><b>Ctrl + Shift + Esc:</b> More direct than the previous one, it immediately launches the task manager and also has the advantage that, due to the position of the keyboard, it can be executed with one hand</li><li><b>Taskbar:</b> If you right-click with the mouse on the taskbar there is an option to access the administrator</li><li><b>Advanced User Menu:</b> Another shortcut using the mouse. Right-click on the start button to access the advanced menu and you will also find this Task Manager</li><li><b>Run:</b> If you are used to using commands press the keyboard shortcut Win + R and type “taskmgr”</li><li><b>Search:</b> Simply type “tasks” in the general search engine and you will see access to this tool</li></ul><p></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Uses of the Windows 11 task manager</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify;">1.- Check why the application is frozen</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">As mentioned above, the most common and well-known reason for opening task manager is to end a frozen application. Simply right-click on the application to “end task”. What is less well known is a new feature called "scan" that can help identify the problem and avoid having to brute force the application, which can result in data loss. It is available in the details tab.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2.- Performance and resource monitor</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">This is where the Windows 11 task manager really shines. It not only provides an overview of all running processes and applications but has several tools to effectively monitor system performance and how resources are allocated. It includes a lot of information, from the resource monitor (RAM, processor...) that offers data visualization in real-time; diagnostic information with logs that you can share for evaluations; network details, and other resources of interest.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">3.- Restart Windows Explorer</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes there are some parts of the operating system that are not responding (taskbar, file explorer, Start, etc.), while other applications are still running properly. Restarting your PC usually resolves the issue, but restarting your browser may be enough. The task manager has a special action for it. If you use it, it will finish the task and restart automatically.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">4.- Administration of Windows applications</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The task manager is far from the best window management tool but it does have a couple of actions that can be useful. To access them, click the dropdown arrow next to the one you want to manage. The ones that work offer five actions, from bringing to the front, maximizing, minimizing or ending the task.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">5.- Search online for suspicious processes</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes you may see unknown processes in task manager. Most of them will be legitimate, but if you don't trust it, you can check it by clicking on the suspicious process and activating the online search. This will launch a browser search for the application name and process name and help you determine whether or not it is safe or malicious.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">6.- Additional columns for more details</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">By default, the new Windows 11 Task Manager only shows five columns when listing processes: Name, CPU, Memory, Disk, and Network. While they are the most important, you can actually add up to six more columns by simply right-clicking on the header area. All of these can be useful in the right situation, particularly the process name because it makes it easier to detect suspicious applications by their process name.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">7.- Switch between values and percentages</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">When browsing the list of processes, the CPU column can show percentages, but in the other three default columns, you can change them to absolute values, more useful in some situations. Just right-click on any process, go to the resources submenu and you can swap between one and the other.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">8.- Discover the file of the open application</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes it is difficult to know the installation location of a particular program. The file explorer is the general option, but if the application is in use, from the task manager you can access it in record time. Just click on any process and select “open file location”. This will take you directly to the folder that contains the executable file of the process. It works for apps, background processes, and Windows processes. Fast and practical.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">9.- Start the command prompt directly</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">In the task manager, you can go to the File menu and select “run a new task” to launch the run dialog. Most people who use this tool are aware of it because it is one of the ways to manually restart a frozen browser in older versions of Windows. What not everyone knows is that you can access the Windows console in the same way simply by holding down the Control key. Very useful.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">10.- Starting the System Configurator</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">In Windows 11, if you run the "msconfig" command to configure the system, you will see that the startup function has been moved to task manager. It is the tool that allows us to configure the applications that will start at boot. The tool offers information on the impact of each application on system performance and allows you to disable them at startup. If your PC is slow to start up or runs slower than normal, disable all non-essential applications/services from startup.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As you may have seen, the task manager <b>goes far beyond ending a frozen application</b> that crashes the system (the most well-known function) and is an advanced management tool to thoroughly control the functioning of a personal computer or solve some problems that occur. derive from its use, nothing abnormal on Windows systems.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Resource: www.muycomputer.com</span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688951718365111860.post-25565242355932537962022-07-13T17:54:00.005+01:002022-07-13T17:54:45.039+01:00How to enable sudo in Debian 10 and its derivatives<p style="text-align: justify;">Here's how to activate sudo in Debian 10 and its derivatives if you need to do something in Debian but it won't let you since you're not an administrator.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If Debian is a new installation, you may have noticed that your ordinary user cannot use sudo. And if you've been using Linux Mint or Ubuntu, you undoubtedly miss it. So this article will demonstrate how to make sudo available in Debian 10.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWMpSRZGV-aRcnoeVAyEgp6-SKosT3PEwWsbiG-Ts7i_OvggmKYAOORYBqIb2JPJ9hS8RyQ5pesyaarY05vT7cgvP6qUHG9THX4lolrJ7v1k_69v2DJ2EUmG-KGi5SGpmarF7aDJVH4fBme2Flhh-BeAV52Btt8Dcb-cX7CIE9tVLy75n6898BuBf2A/s932/how-to-enable-sudo-in-debian.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="how-to-enable-sudo-in-debian" border="0" data-original-height="449" data-original-width="932" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWMpSRZGV-aRcnoeVAyEgp6-SKosT3PEwWsbiG-Ts7i_OvggmKYAOORYBqIb2JPJ9hS8RyQ5pesyaarY05vT7cgvP6qUHG9THX4lolrJ7v1k_69v2DJ2EUmG-KGi5SGpmarF7aDJVH4fBme2Flhh-BeAV52Btt8Dcb-cX7CIE9tVLy75n6898BuBf2A/s16000/how-to-enable-sudo-in-debian.jpg" title="how-to-enable-sudo-in-debian" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">How to enable sudo in Debian 10 and its derivatives</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">But what exactly is sudo? Good. There are several users on a computer that runs a Linux distribution. Roles and permissions have been established for each of them.</div><p style="text-align: justify;">For example, in Debian, installing a package needs root access. Therefore, not all users can do all actions.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The GNU package includes the sudo software. It is a simple program that enables the execution of commands using another user's security rights. This "other" user is usually root. This software is disabled for its typical user in accordance with Debian's security guidelines.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">And the fact is that there won't be an issue if you activate Debian on your personal PC. But if you set up Debian to use on a server, it shouldn't be turned on.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In any event, sudo makes it possible to run commands that the user is unable to. Additionally, sudo commands are not recorded in the system log.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">How to enable sudo in Debian 10 and derivatives</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Sudo might not be installed by default in Debian 10 Buster, depending on how you installed it. Actually, this is common.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Installing it initially requires access to the system's root user, which you must have. That is crucial.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You must take the following steps in order to enable sudo on Debian 10 and its derivatives:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 1:</b> Open a terminal</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 2:</b> Run the command below to grant yourself administrator rights. Enter the root user password when asked;</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">su -</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 3:</b> Next, run the following command to add sudo to your system using the Debian repositories. Due to Sudo's small weight, installation takes only a short time;</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">apt install sudo</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 4:</b> At this point, you must make changes to the /etc/ sudoers file, which houses all of the sudo configurations. For that, you may use nano editor.</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">nano /etc/sudoers</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 5:</b> The file has a limited number of lines. You can find a line like this in the section on user privilege specifications:</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 6:</b> Add your username there after leaving the rest of the line alone. equivalent to that</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">seu-usuario ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 7:</b> When you're finished, use CTRL + O to save your changes and CTRL + X to exit.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688951718365111860.post-14661069338761226312022-07-13T15:13:00.001+01:002022-07-13T15:13:05.929+01:00Linux Mint 21 beta available for download<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfUz-Kq3YsWG8k5Z6I5hrVgEB3R8gzfccjh_Adqu-ikV1Dzr-c1Fq1_I92lQqJMexEdDnIvxl8ioUjT-XUxiLaTrULyxx6WAD-J2mo9er2DOQbg20qu_uMs7RmJ8dMS-4l3Jl-RqLpAEXaa_U2-0NC8cKffwSsZmJ-81qPJT_VQJ5UZ89oVTg7otQMdA/s256/linux_mint_logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="linux_mint_logo" border="0" data-original-height="256" data-original-width="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfUz-Kq3YsWG8k5Z6I5hrVgEB3R8gzfccjh_Adqu-ikV1Dzr-c1Fq1_I92lQqJMexEdDnIvxl8ioUjT-XUxiLaTrULyxx6WAD-J2mo9er2DOQbg20qu_uMs7RmJ8dMS-4l3Jl-RqLpAEXaa_U2-0NC8cKffwSsZmJ-81qPJT_VQJ5UZ89oVTg7otQMdA/s16000/linux_mint_logo.png" title="linux_mint_logo" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">From the official Linux Mint mirrors, you may download the public beta of Linux Mint 21, also known as "Vanessa."</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Even though the official release hasn't happened yet, we already know what the primary changes in this new version are because of the monthly Linux Mint reports that have been published recently.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Linux Mint 21 features Cinnamon 5.4 as the default desktop environment in the main edition.

View this useful app's specifications.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A neat terminal software that allows you to check the health of a battery via the command line.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is open-source software that was created in Rust under the name <a href="https://crates.io/crates/battop" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Battop</a>. It was what I was seeking for when I was looking for a GUI battery status tool for Linux that was comparable to CoconutBattery for macOS (which is a menu bar software that displays battery health, condition, capacity, temperature, voltage, and other information).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrHIq_eRNMDhjYRZKrXHYTHhRnd38pglp01cCp-LhMs7yp2C3WMH087EuOEabh2Nkhb1a6248tXgqfR3_GYmqJOjZHLiyFbvuqas54TNTKkyE5UAjlyg48qY9oX9snBq7VeFA1M9jJM_JyusPY1BAo9pSQpmZAAMFCc_94AQoEJvh6TkuPhyjqMY70MA/s1306/battop-a-program-that-checks-the-battery-health-in-terminal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="battop-a-program-that-checks-the-battery-health-in-terminal" border="0" data-original-height="861" data-original-width="1306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrHIq_eRNMDhjYRZKrXHYTHhRnd38pglp01cCp-LhMs7yp2C3WMH087EuOEabh2Nkhb1a6248tXgqfR3_GYmqJOjZHLiyFbvuqas54TNTKkyE5UAjlyg48qY9oX9snBq7VeFA1M9jJM_JyusPY1BAo9pSQpmZAAMFCc_94AQoEJvh6TkuPhyjqMY70MA/s16000/battop-a-program-that-checks-the-battery-health-in-terminal.jpg" title="battop-a-program-that-checks-the-battery-health-in-terminal" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, that's Battop: a sleek, interactive utility for checking battery health with a clean, organized user interface and strong cross-platform interoperability.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Try it out if you want to monitor your battery's discharge rate, cycle count, current capacity, and original capacity. You may also just have something nice going on your screen while you dine in front of your PC.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The use of upower is recommended by many of the instructions and tutorials that describe how to monitor battery statistics on Linux. It's a reliable suggestion.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In addition to being extremely thorough, upower is also incredibly user-friendly because it comes pre-activated on almost every major Linux distribution, including Ubuntu.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Utilizing upower has certain drawbacks, including being rather utilitarian. There is nothing further printed after the list.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, things may appear much more lovely!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Battop is a tool that, in the words of its creator, is "an interactive viewer, similar to top, htop, and other *top applications, but on top of the batteries installed in your laptop."</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's an accurate description since the images, which are big, bold, and constantly updated, are pretty similar to them.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Even better, Battop supports several batteries and is compatible with Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and multiple battery-powered laptops—yes, such devices do exist.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Battop displays the following details:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li>battery supplier</li><li>battery technology</li><li>battery model number</li><li>Capacity (including original capacity)</li><li>Temperature </li><li>Live Graphs for Voltage, Consumption, and Temperature</li></ul><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Now, using upower or acpitool, you may view these details in their entirety (minus the graphics).

It only has three years of support, which is much than adequate for a home user who should have skipped the final LTS by the end of the cycle, compared to the LTS versions of the system from which it comes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Raspberry Pi mini-PCs, especially the <b>Raspberry Pi 2 versions, Raspberry Pi 3, Raspberry Pi 3+, Raspberry Pi 4, and Raspberry Pi CM4 (Compute Module 4)</b> are supported by Ubuntu MATE 22.04 LTS, which now increases its support for the ARM architecture.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Ubuntu MATE 22.04 LTS releases for these mini-PCs are desktop-oriented, thus here are the key distinguishing characteristics, <b>beginning with MATE 1.26's inclusion</b>. This is in contrast to the Ubuntu builds for Raspberry Pi, which are more server and IoT-focused.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">With compatibility with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, HDMI, the 3.5mm jack connection, and other desktop system features, the Raspberry Pi's use is ultimately up to the user, especially considering the variety of functions that some of the aforementioned interfaces have taken on. Older Raspberry Pi models would undoubtedly "thank" running a light environment like MATE, even though newer versions should be able to do anything without a problem.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's already a fact, though. Raspberry Pi versions with 32-bit and 64-bit ARM CPUs are supported by official releases of Ubuntu MATE 22.04 LTS.

Actions may result in the operating system ceasing to function entirely and requiring reinstallation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Certain Windows settings are frequently changed to enhance system customization, increase security, and improve computer performance. There are, however, some activities that should never be attempted, at least not without much research and prudence first. This is due to the fact that some changes make the system entirely cease operating, requiring formatting and reinstalling Windows, which causes data loss. LinuxTechChrunch outlines five things you need to never do on a computer in the list below. Be aware of the issues each of these behaviors raises.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji5JkKkiH9opYeff-0JQX5e2rLqCkwypsWzCpoNs4bO_JeLHgfv7cDrU6z-EAzCNlsEjVexbrvMltHb4D-p3dngoTRHUJAUZw8TVDSPuSJawU5G6jETwl2vQYwofZuipAZKe1IYKowixTuRi6O5239TZxCqfM9uyaOWf9xfeXc1wWdtWhq3Os7F_Uw0g/s1483/Windows.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Windows" border="0" data-original-height="912" data-original-width="1483" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji5JkKkiH9opYeff-0JQX5e2rLqCkwypsWzCpoNs4bO_JeLHgfv7cDrU6z-EAzCNlsEjVexbrvMltHb4D-p3dngoTRHUJAUZw8TVDSPuSJawU5G6jETwl2vQYwofZuipAZKe1IYKowixTuRi6O5239TZxCqfM9uyaOWf9xfeXc1wWdtWhq3Os7F_Uw0g/s16000/Windows.jpg" title="Windows" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: justify;">1. Messing with the Windows registry</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">All of the settings pertaining to how the operating system runs are kept in the Windows registry, which is a database. It is possible to modify it using the Registry Editor, but this action has to be avoided. That's because erroneous modifications might cause the system to run slowly, leave it open to attacks, or even cause Windows to crash and require a format.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS6oyMeJx9ZlLjWt2QBz1LCmKTndrfR4s_gQmNLuos8oGp_totbpb9S-zbtUzywHQlJK8FIS3Tjf5jfSd3DtqzHeKgelB-Zpd-1Z6qIyxRcQ6Dc_weYFfDoRynCnbBJSV04eaEfZD2QKod5mS9oN5x_F77I3eHXg5QcCbR7WXJseKTWTSHStL648PSug/s1551/Messing-Windows-registry.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Messing-Windows-registry" border="0" data-original-height="886" data-original-width="1551" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS6oyMeJx9ZlLjWt2QBz1LCmKTndrfR4s_gQmNLuos8oGp_totbpb9S-zbtUzywHQlJK8FIS3Tjf5jfSd3DtqzHeKgelB-Zpd-1Z6qIyxRcQ6Dc_weYFfDoRynCnbBJSV04eaEfZD2QKod5mS9oN5x_F77I3eHXg5QcCbR7WXJseKTWTSHStL648PSug/w640-h366/Messing-Windows-registry.jpg" title="Messing-Windows-registry" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">It is worth blocking access to the Windows registry in order to resist temptation. Create a restore point in Windows first if your PC is having problems and you truly need to update the registry. Following versions based on official Microsoft documentation is also safer.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">2. Install programs from suspicious sources</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">It's risky to download and install software from unreliable sources. The biggest threat is the potential for the file to be contaminated with malware, such as a virus, ransomware, trojan, or any other form.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Many individuals set up suspicious software in the belief that Windows Defender or another antivirus program is guarding their computer. The issue is that no protection is 100% safe, thus virus can still manage to sneak past the filter. Therefore, it is recommended to only download files and applications from trustworthy sources, making sure the website is secure first.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">3. Disable automatic Windows updates</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Many people deactivate Windows Update in order to prevent frequent system restarts. Additionally, obtaining and installing the update now slows down your PC, which might make some tasks challenging.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It seems that turning off automatic updates really makes the system operate worse over time. This is due to the fact that updates primarily address bugs and security holes; without them, Windows gets steadily more unstable and exposed. If a specific operation is being impeded by Windows Update, select "Stop," complete the work at hand, and then resume updating.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">4. Run commands from suspicious sources</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Users may issue different commands using the Windows Command Prompt's simple interface. It may be used to format the system, compare PC files, locate the IP address of a website, and perform a wide range of other essential tasks.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjlvKcux-EhrsBB0jT4GNvse6b0mxJgQ2MF76rSP9Ri6yPFrc18BspGQZcUcxxIMjv1DtYbVqNPwHHFd5mw7DrVXMddGb5hERIpUHLnuzHIoz0Ntwd4CKpIAPPBx5WgkDxVuUPYBZEVyhGzPjmk2hOzSohTFmr01bJBnbSJnz5VBRnMUm9q5GPeVBhFw/s1514/how-to-track-ip.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="how-to-track-ip" border="0" data-original-height="724" data-original-width="1514" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjlvKcux-EhrsBB0jT4GNvse6b0mxJgQ2MF76rSP9Ri6yPFrc18BspGQZcUcxxIMjv1DtYbVqNPwHHFd5mw7DrVXMddGb5hERIpUHLnuzHIoz0Ntwd4CKpIAPPBx5WgkDxVuUPYBZEVyhGzPjmk2hOzSohTFmr01bJBnbSJnz5VBRnMUm9q5GPeVBhFw/w640-h306/how-to-track-ip.jpg" title="how-to-track-ip" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">It's crucial to use extreme caution while working with the command prompt due of its strength. The golden rule is to confirm the validity of the source supplying the order. Avoid entering command lines from untrusted websites since they might cause Windows security flaws. Additionally, prior to running a command, it's critical to understand what it accomplishes.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">5. Disable important processes and delete Windows files</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Never turn off or remove any folder or file from "C: Windows" (we write "C" because it is the default letter, but it can change according to system preferences). If everything in the directory is deleted, Windows may need to be reinstalled since it includes files and applications that are essential to its operation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, certain material is far more crucial and ought to never be removed. The System32 and Program Files directories are two instances that show how important they are; when you destroy them, Windows becomes vulnerable.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgehANhVUqWNdtuyKrEwkwhrhI31wE51YkOuYw_PFOHVo5jdPqsAK0OyaaMMUliEc5uIxGYV9SE6LmBvnKMdvJuh4j4flEKd97NlMJqHMOR0i0Vq5tFGtfDan1q6B-hqaxeHBlveSBdTX3k9lF5tlMMtev3_VOWnQJrhgpdiDPvqgGghM2KCTaXU6z7BQ/s957/disable-important-processes-and-delete-files-from-windows.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="disable-important-processes-and-delete-files-from-windows" border="0" data-original-height="824" data-original-width="957" height="552" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgehANhVUqWNdtuyKrEwkwhrhI31wE51YkOuYw_PFOHVo5jdPqsAK0OyaaMMUliEc5uIxGYV9SE6LmBvnKMdvJuh4j4flEKd97NlMJqHMOR0i0Vq5tFGtfDan1q6B-hqaxeHBlveSBdTX3k9lF5tlMMtev3_VOWnQJrhgpdiDPvqgGghM2KCTaXU6z7BQ/w640-h552/disable-important-processes-and-delete-files-from-windows.jpg" title="disable-important-processes-and-delete-files-from-windows" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Although the task manager is a less important program, it nevertheless exercises vigilance.

We'll also go over some fundamental ideas so that users don't get lost when using GNOME Software, as well as how to repair the terrible problem that appeared on the day the system was introduced. We caution that although the installation is quite similar to Workstation, the setup could surprise some people.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">An unfinished product</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">It's important to note that Fedora Silverblue is presently an imperfect product, and pretty unfinished on certain fronts before we get into the flour.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The user could discover, for example, that the system is unable to save the brightness of the laptop after it has shut down, or that even after establishing a password for disk encryption, <b>the keyboard layout is always set to US English and never in the user's language</b>. Additionally, removable USB drives are available; these may be extracted and played.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Despite its evident immaturity, the system has a lot of stability and <b>requires relatively little upkeep</b>. However, it is clear that there are numerous flaws that must be fixed before it can become a product that is truly suited for production.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Another thing to remember is that it does not get along well with multiple booting with other operating systems, so heed my warning if you encounter difficulties getting it to get along with Windows or other Linux distributions.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In spite of everything, and if one is willing to put up with its flaws, Fedora Silverblue may provide a distinctive, revitalizing, and even disruptive Linux experience in contrast to the traditional changeable systems that have been and are still the rule.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Some basics of Fedora Silverblue</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">We won't go into detail on what the system is and what it comprises in this article. Instead, we'll offer a quick overview of some of the most basic ideas to give you an idea.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Since Fedora Silverblue is an immutable operating system, as we've already mentioned, <b>a sizable portion of the file system is read-only and cannot be changed, not even with root permissions</b>. We discover that "<i>/mnt</i>" has been changed to "<i>/var/mnt</i>" and "<i>/home/</i>" has been moved to "<i>/var/home</i>" since the directories "<i>/usr</i>" and "<i>/bin</i>" are read-only, but "<i>/etc</i>" does allow modifications.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Although "<i>/home</i>" does exist, it is a symbolic link that leads to "<i>/var/home</i>," which is the official location and the one to specify in case you build a Btrfs subvolume or separate the user directories into a separate partition. As a result, the new location of the user folders is essential. The worst part is that the installer hasn't been changed yet, thus you have to manually specify the '<i>/var/home</i>' location.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Another important problem is that the <b>base image of the system</b>, which is composed of RPM packages, has a type of <b>"hard core" that cannot be removed in the typical manner</b>. The <i>override </i>from rpm-ostree option, which in fact "hides" the package, is required to remove a part of that "hard core."</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Since we've already spoken about the package manager, let's briefly discuss <b><a href="https://ostreedev.github.io/ostree/introduction/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">OSTree</a>, the update mechanism for Linux-based operating systems that executes atomic updates</b>. To cut to the point, each update creates a new system image that may be used as a backup in case the previous one fails either permanently or temporarily.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The technologies <b>Buildah, Podman, Toolbox, and Flatpak</b> are all intended towards eliminating the user from the system. The first is a tool for containerization, the second and third are different-purpose container engines, and the fourth at this moment doesn't require an introduction. Because the goal of this post is to get Fedora Silverblue ready for basic desktop, office, and gaming via Steam, we will solely discuss Flatpak in this section.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Installing Fedora Silverblue 36</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Although the installation of Fedora Silverblue and Workstation are relatively similar, there are a few peculiarities that you should be aware of if you want to partition manually.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The system we're working with doesn't have a live session, so as soon as we launch the installation media, we run into the prospect of launching Anaconda, the installer that even now still causes controversy. On this screen, select "Install Fedora 36" by pressing the enter key.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">1. Language selection</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The user will be given the opportunity to choose the <b>Anaconda language</b> after declaring their desire to install Fedora Silverblue (and what to do when there isn't a live session).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Similar to Fedora Workstation, once the language has been chosen, you are sent to Anaconda's main page where you may set the keyboard layout, the language (again), the date and time, and the installation location (the hard drive(s) or SSD(s) that will house Fedora Silverblue).</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">2. Changing the keyboard layout</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">By going to the "<b>Keyboard</b>" area of Anaconda, the user may modify the keyboard layout as desired. The rest of the time, we are in the same situation as Workstation, where this step is theoretically optional.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is simple to add keyboard layouts. To accomplish this, just click the Plus (+) icon that appears in the graphical user interface, conduct a search, choose the distribution, add it using the "Add" button, and then upload it first with the upload button (^). Click the "Done" button to put the changes into effect (located at the top left).</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">3. Language support</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">You can expand the system installation's language options in this part, which is separate from Workstation. This stage is originally optional (depending on the user's requirements and preferences), and managing it is as easy as <b>choosing a language from the list on the left and then picking the versions you wish to add (or delete) from the list of choices on the right</b>. Once the desired languages have been chosen, click "Done."</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">4. Setting system time via NTP</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Make sure the "<b>Network time</b>" option is enabled in the "<b>Date and time</b>" configuration's top right corner before choosing the location (logically the geographical place where the user is). Click "Done" when you have finished the two steps.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">5. Configuring partitions in Fedora Silverblue 36</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The partition setup is nearly identical to that of Workstation, <b>with the difference that you must mount or specify the user folders in '/var/home' rather than '/home' if you want to separate them onto a different partition or subvolume</b>. However, with Fedora Silverblue, that path is really a symbolic link to "/var/home," thus it is suggested and orthodox to use the latter. Anaconda mounts the files in "/home" by default, and it may work (in Kinoite it is anyway, in case anyone asks).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Additionally, since we essentially use the same installer, the partitions are configured in the "<b>Installation Destination</b>" section. Although the procedure is not complex in and of itself, Fedora offers two installers: the standard one and Blivet. The default one doesn't differentiate between the computer's drives in order to maximize the usage of LVM, but Blivet has a layout much closer to GParted. Both will be covered in this guide so that the user has all of his options available.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, before going into how partitioners are used and for less experienced users, it should be noted that Fedora Silverblue is an operating system that welcomes you to use automated partitioning, however, LinuxTechCrunch is not liable for any unfavorable effects that its use may have. The most crucial step in a scenario like this is to create backup copies in advance, which makes sense.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">5.1 Official partitioner</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">LVM, which enables you to build partitions that span multiple drives, is the method that the official Fedora partitioner is focused on using. By choosing the local standard disks that will be included in the system installation from the "<b>Storage configuration</b>" menu, choosing the Custom option, and then clicking "Done," you may manually configure it. The user has the choice to enable encryption for the mount points that are generated automatically.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The EFI boot partition must first be made because we are emulating the installation on a PC with UEFI but Secure Boot turned off. To accomplish this, you must first decide whether you want to work with standard partitions, LVM, Btrfs, or LVM Lightweight Provisioning (this section of the tutorial has been written with the first two options in mind, standard partitions, and LVM). Then, you must click on the Plus button (+) of the graphical interface, <b>enter "/boot/efi" as the mount point,</b> <b>set the capacity to 1GiB</b>, and then click on the "Add mount point" button.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We'll set up an EXT4 boot partition since Fedora Silverblue is particular about how it's configured. This will guarantee that the system will operate properly. To achieve this, click the addition (+) button in the graphical interface, choose "/boot" as the mount point, and <b>click "Add mount point" after setting the capacity to 1GiB</b>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The root partition must next be created, beginning by choosing the remaining empty space and once more pressing the Plus (+) button. <b>We will make a Btrfs volume for the system root partition as Btrfs is now the default filesystem</b>. Remember that the user folders must be mounted or indicated in "/var/home" if you wish to split them.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fedora 34 updated the setup parameters for the default <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SwapOnZRAM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">swap over ZRAM</a> configuration to consume 100% of the RAM up to a maximum of 8 GiB. Because of this, you no longer need to establish a swap partition unless you plan to hibernate or have a highly customized configuration. We won't use the swap partition since we will only take into account desktop and gaming scenarios in this tutorial and we will assume that the machine has at least 4GB of RAM (which is the minimum needed to use Fedora on a desktop in a usable manner).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You can click the "Done" button to go back to the main Anaconda page once the bare minimum number of partitions have been created (in the event that there was extra space, it would be helpful to divide the root from the home in "/var/home"). Then choose "Start the installation" to begin installing Fedora Silverblue using the chosen options.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">5.2 Blivet Partitioner</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Simply choose the "<b>Advanced Custom (Blivet-GUI)</b>" option under "Storage Settings" next to the disks that will be used for the Fedora Silverblue 36 installation to access the Blivet partitioner. Once more, the "Done" button is pressed to enter the Blivet partitioner itself.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you're starting with a hard drive or SSD that is totally empty, you must first access the Blivet partitioner before creating the partition table (needless to say, if the Linux partitions already exist, it would only be necessary to mount them and format the root location). You may accomplish this by selecting "<b>Set partition table</b>" from the gear icon. <b>GPT must be used in UEFI systems</b>, so choose that partition table format before clicking "Accept."</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You may begin building partitions by clicking the addition (+) button in the graphical interface once the partition table has been established (if you need it, which is probably not the case). <b>The EFI boot partition, with a capacity of 1 GiB, the file system "EFI System Partition," and the mount point "/boot/efi," make up the first partition</b>. Once you've completed all the instructions, press OK.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">On EXT4, the second partition is used to make the boot partition. Select the available disk space, then use the graphical interface's Plus button (+) once again to <b>set the size to 1 GiB, the file system to "EXT4", and the mount point to "/boot"</b>, Click the OK button once you've completed all the steps.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The system's root is located on the third partition. To accomplish this, choose the disk's available space and press the addition (+) button once again on the graphical user interface. <b>We allow all of the remaining space to a Btrfs volume, which will be utilized by root</b>, as we have chosen to go with what the system recommends by default (we are ignoring the case of splitting root and home into two subvolumes). It is no longer essential to building the swap partition due to the new ZRAM requirements that have been applied unless you wish to employ hibernation or a highly specific setup.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Once all of the partitions have been defined, click "Done" on the Blivet interface, check that the changes you wish to make will take effect, and then click "Start the installation" on the Anaconda installer's home screen.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">6. Welcome and getting started with Fedora Silverblue 36</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Similar to the Workstation edition, Fedora Silverblue 36 shows the system welcome screen, where you can set up the essentials of privacy, activate third-party repositories for Google Chrome, NVIDIA driver, Steam, and PyCharm, and add additional users (Google, Microsoft, and Nextcloud) to your system.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The user will be questioned regarding location service privacy after the splash screen. Currently, Silverblue does not offer the option to automatically report issues.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Steam, PyCharm, the NVIDIA driver, and Google Chrome are all indirectly provided through third-party repositories</b>, such as the Workstation edition. The NVIDIA driver, Steam, and web browser are all from Google's own repositories. PyCharm is offered through Copr, a project that aims to make it simpler to create and manage third-party repositories.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Alternately, using GNOME Software, individual third-party repositories can be activated. In order to get the udev rules for Steam controllers from there, it would be preferable to activate the related repository.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is possible to set up online accounts for Google, Nextcloud, and Microsoft services, however in the case of the Redmond behemoth, only the Outlook account (formerly Hotmail) is accessible through the IMAP protocol. As we previously stated, the user's needs and preferences will determine whether or not to use this feature.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The establishment of the first user, who would have administrative rights through sudo, is the essential last step</b>. It goes without saying that choosing a strong password is important, especially if Fedora Silverblue 36 has been installed on a laptop that could be used away from home. In this case, disk encryption is also strongly advised (Yes, the issue with the password passthrough only being able to use the US English keyboard layout comes to mind).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The welcome tour follows, which is obviously superfluous for those who are already familiar with the desktop environment and distribution.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">7. How to fix brightness on laptops and the annoying bug that snuck in on launch day</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The integration of Flatpak and rpm-ostree with GNOME Software was broken by a <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2083715" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">bug</a> in Fedora Silverblue 36 on the same day of release. The system leaves a very terrible impression the first time it is run even though the problem has been fixed for weeks but is still there on the installation media.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We will give two solutions in this section for the issue that existed in the system's original image. In contrast to the latter, which necessitates using a terminal but is completely successful, the former does not need opening one and may fail.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">7.1 First way to fix the launch day bug</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The first step is to <b>launch GNOME Software and log in, then wait for around 10 minutes</b>. Your connection speed will determine how long it takes, but in general, you only need to wait until the next rpm-ostree issue shows up (if it doesn't, you can wait 10 or 15 minutes and reboot).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The integration with rpm-ostree should likely function properly once again after waiting the specified period of time, so you may update the base system image by following the regular method after closing GNOME Software and restarting the computer.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">7.2 Second way to fix the launch day bug</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">This is quicker and more powerful since there is no waiting involved. <b>As easy as rebooting after doing a regular update with the console</b>:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">rpm-ostree update</p><p style="text-align: justify;">systemclt reboot</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Most likely, rpm-ostree is occupied attempting to complete the upgrading procedure. If you find yourself in such circumstance, you must stop what you are doing by issuing the following command:</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">rpm-ostree cancel</p></blockquote><h3 style="text-align: justify;">7.3 Making brightness save on Fedora Silverblue laptops</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Another issue that prohibited preserving the brightness on laptops existed in Fedora 35 Silverblue, and it could still exist in Fedora 36 if it has received an upgrade or is there simply because it is. Restarting the shine service is one solution to<a href="https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/brightness-service-doesnt-start-in-fedora-silverblue-35/34561" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> resolve this</a>.</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">sudo systemctl restart systemd-backlight@backlight\:intel_backlight.service</p></blockquote><h2 style="text-align: left;">8. How updates work in Fedora Silverblue</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Fedora Silverblue is often updated via GNOME Software, a program that still needs work to be completely effective. There are two parts in the Updates section.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The system image, which is updated above, is made up of RPM packages, and the user has been allowed to add items by installing parts or programs in that format. A new version of the system image is created throughout each update procedure, but it doesn't function until after a reboot. By removing a common issue with hot updates -a conflict between the versions of the running libraries and the binaries- you are able to carry on working worry-free. On the other side, because the new system image is fully created but not yet run, it also disables offline updates.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Flatpak-formatted programs listed below should update automatically (that is, they are updated hot). The hot updating of apps is significantly more secure than using the conventional package format since it is independent of the operating system. However, it is advised to sometimes open GNOME Software in case an application has fallen behind or hasn't automatically updated since more permissions are needed. Then all you have to do is press the "Update all" button.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The integration of rpm-ostree with GNOME Software has much improved, but there is still room for improvement. As a result, the user may discover that the update does not function through the graphical application. There is also always the option to upgrade the system image via the console:</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">rpm-ostree update</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">And more of the same for Flatpak:</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">flatpak update</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">The concept behind how Fedora Silverblue must be updated ultimately resembles Android more so than a "typical" Linux system, such as the changeable ones that have traveled with us through the years with SUSE, Mandrake, Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, etc.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">9. RPM Fusion Configuration in Fedora Silverblue 36</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">On Fedora Silverblue, properly <a href="https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">configuring RPM Fusion</a> is a little difficult. If a user just follows the conventional process, the packages in the repositories are installed locally rather than being layered after running the command <i>rpm-ostree status</i>. As a result, RPM Fusion packages are not updated in the typical manner, which increases the risk of package breakdown.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Installing the repositories in the typical manner, followed by a system reboot, is the first step towards properly <b>configuring RPM Fusion on Fedora Silverblue</b>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">sudo rpm-ostree install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm</p><p style="text-align: left;">systemctl reboot</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Execute the following command after rebooting, then restart it again (if you're using a different version of the system, it's best to first check at the "LocalPackages" field and modify what comes after the <i>--uninstall</i> for the version that shows there):</p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">rpm-ostree update --uninstall rpmfusion-free-release-36-1.noarch --uninstall rpmfusion-nonfree-release-36-1.noarch --install rpmfusion-free-release --install rpmfusion-nonfree-release</p><p style="text-align: left;">systemctl reboot</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">And once you've completed those steps, RPM Fusion ought to be layered, allowing your repositories' packages to update regularly.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Since Fedora Silverblue prefers to use apps in Flatpak format rather than RPM, as we have already stated, we advise using RPM Fusion exclusively to install drivers or programs that are not in Flatpak or AppImage format (yes, it is preferable to use AppImage before what RPM). It would be helpful to <b>provide Firefox's RPM version the appropriate multimedia capability</b> if you wish to use it.</p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">rpm-ostree install gstreamer1-libav gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-extras gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld gstreamer1-plugins-good-extras gstreamer1-plugins-ugly gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 mozilla-openh264 openh264 webp-pixbuf-loader gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-fluidsynth gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-wildmidi gstreamer1-svt-av1 libopenraw-pixbuf-loader gstreamer1-vaapi libva-utils libva-intel-driver intel-media-driver</p><p style="text-align: left;">systemclt reboot</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This server only utilizes partial enablement to retrieve Steam udev rules for controllers and does not setup the complete RPM Fusion repositories. The NVIDIA driver and the udev rules to integrate the drivers into Steam should eventually replace the usage of RPM Fusion as Fedora Silverblue develops.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">10. Installing the NVIDIA driver on Fedora Silverblue</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Due to its high reliance on Flatpak, Fedora Silverblue does not appear to be the greatest choice to use with the official NVIDIA driver, and this is made worse by the issues that the driver may create with the design and functionality of the system. Standardization annoys NVIDIA, who boasts about it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In light of this, we'll just do what the <a href="https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">RPM Fusion</a> manual instructs and wish the user luck. Unsurprisingly, after installing the driver and akmod, a reboot is necessary.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">sudo rpm-ostree install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia</p><p style="text-align: left;">sudo rpm-ostree install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda #optional if using nvidia-smi or cuda</p><p style="text-align: left;">sudo rpm-ostree kargs --append=rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau --append=modprobe.blacklist=nouveau --append=nvidia-drm.modeset=1 # this might not be necessary at some point, when Silverblue supports the standard way of specifying this</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">11. Flathub setup and removal of Firefox in RPM format</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">At this time, it should go without saying that the primary method for installing software on Fedora Silverblue is through Flatpak. We'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that Silverblue or Kinoite's Workstation edition should be used if you prefer RPM-format software.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The process for configuring <a href="https://flathub.org/home" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Flathub</a> in Fedora Silverblue is the same as for the Workstation edition: download the configuration file, execute it using GNOME Software, then reboot to complete.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">First, select the distribution icon from the Quick Setup area and then click the "<a href="https://flatpak.org/setup/Fedora" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Flathub repository file</a>" button to download the file.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">By selecting the "<b>Open with Install Software</b>" option after right-clicking on the Flathub configuration file, you may open it using GNOME Software.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In order for the modifications to take effect, it is still necessary to <b>install </b>the Flathub repository by selecting the Install option from the GNOME Software window and <b>restarting the user session</b>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Following a session restart, GNOME Software launches once more in order to install the Flatpak version of Firefox from Flathub. Once the application store has been opened, you must search for Firefox and select the entry that displays but does not have the installed indicator.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Once there, select "<b>Install</b>", but only after confirming that the program is from Flathub.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The <b>removal of the RPM version of Firefox</b> is the last step, and it is done by running the following command:</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">rpm-ostree override remove firefox</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">This procedure removes the package that is in charge of offering Firefox in RPM form via the Fedora repository. It provides a function more akin to a shroud than a genuine uninstall procedure. The user will therefore continue to observe Firefox being updated by GNOME Software using the RPM package.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A new system image is created using the command <i>rpm-ostree override</i> and may be brought up by performing a standard reboot from the GUI or console:</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">systemctl reboot</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">The user will have realized by this time that Fedora Silverblue is extremely devoid of applications -it doesn't even include an office suite. This gives the user a more open option to install applications they actually enjoy, such as ONLYOFFICE instead of LibreOffice (Flatpak builds of both suites are official).</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">12. Installing GNOME Shell Extensions</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Integration with frequently used GNOME extensions is lost with the RPM version of Firefox out of the running. <b>The "<a href="https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.mattjakeman.ExtensionManager" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Extension Manager</a>" program, which is in charge of providing an interface with which you may search for and install extensions, is an alternative to using the Firefox RPM build in this situation.</b></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">13. Installing Steam on Fedora Silverblue</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">While we are working with an operating system that proudly displays the Flatpak logo, installing Steam in that format is its responsibility. The procedures to be followed here are largely the same as those for the Workstation edition, with the udev rules being installed via rpm-ostree. Installing the Proton Glorious Eggroll Flatpak build and the Steam client comes first (because Fedora 36 ships Flatpak 1.12, Steam client-supplied Proton builds work).</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">flatpak install com.valvesoftware.Steam com.valvesoftware.Steam.CompatibilityTool.Proton-GE</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">The udev restrictions for integrating drivers with Valve's platform client are still in place, even if Steam and Proton Glorious Eggroll have already been loaded. Installing the RPM package, which is acquired via rpm-ostree, and restarting the system are basically identical steps to those in the Workstation edition that must be followed in this case.</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">rpm-ostree install steam-devices</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">Installing <b>MangoHud</b>, the well-known overlay in charge of showing performance-related statistics is an option. Once more, if Flatpak appeals to you, there are two ways to install it:</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud</p></blockquote><h2 style="text-align: justify;">14. Graphical configuration of SELinux and the firewall</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Since Flatpak does not function at the root level, the graphical firewall (firewalld) and SELinux settings must be installed using RPM packages provided by Fedora. Because the SELinux configuration tool sometimes causes issues with Fedora Silverblue, we will in this instance divide the installation steps.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Run this and then restart your computer to install the <b>firewall application</b>:</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">rpm-ostree install firewall-config</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">While with the <b>SELinux</b> <b>setup</b>, the same steps are taken, but a different package is installed:</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">rpm-ostree install policycoreutils-gui</p></blockquote><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Conclusion</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">As we can see, Fedora Silverblue represents a fundamental shift from the "conventional" Linux desktop that we have seen for more than two decades and is not merely a Workstation with a portion of its file system set to read-only.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For the time being, it is a work in progress with a lot of potentials. On the one hand, the system has already demonstrated remarkable stability and strong foundations, but on the other, there are still a few edges that need to be polished, such as the use of the proper keyboard layout in disk encryption, issues with multibooting (at least with Windows), and a Flatpak that hasn't yet proven to be a complete replacement for "traditional" packages.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">With its advantages and disadvantages, Fedora Silverblue is a Linux system worth considering, especially if you're searching for a desktop that requires little upkeep.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688951718365111860.post-53698862230544633692022-07-09T16:06:00.002+01:002022-07-11T20:45:39.161+01:00Five Types of Linux Attacks That Businesses Should Be Concerned About<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrfUfDNBOMxMZOUFL4zhtcJIxA6vukvDYjlEaO8GdMaBLjOoLs4PGkTP7faRRgjnWsSS0bfzd2B5azHlKyNSqjTd7Vq2DB16HFRZNHfKpOKWNITgZR8582YegoI0dLst92Von7wr-Bxl7U9DNN2JtiFRwDWgg4J1YAhr5LV2vA-giB31GWhlEiLqczVw/s680/Linux-kernel-vulnerability.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Linux-Attacks" border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="680" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrfUfDNBOMxMZOUFL4zhtcJIxA6vukvDYjlEaO8GdMaBLjOoLs4PGkTP7faRRgjnWsSS0bfzd2B5azHlKyNSqjTd7Vq2DB16HFRZNHfKpOKWNITgZR8582YegoI0dLst92Von7wr-Bxl7U9DNN2JtiFRwDWgg4J1YAhr5LV2vA-giB31GWhlEiLqczVw/s16000/Linux-kernel-vulnerability.png" title="Linux-Attacks" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Linux has achieved business success. It's true that it hasn't done it on desktops, but this is less significant if we take into account that more than 80% of corporate servers run Linux as their operating system and that Linux-based virtual machines perform far better than Windows-based ones.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Given this information, it is not unexpected that cyber attackers have targeted the penguin OS, both in local environments and in significant cloud deployments or even at the edge, in IoT devices that, in more than 95% of cases, prefer to bank on adopting a simplified version of the Linux kernel.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In order for businesses to take appropriate action, it is important to consider the kind of assaults that they should be most worried about. In this perspective, there are five large categories of attacks.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Attacks with ransomware on virtual machines</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Ransomware has emerged in recent years as one of the primary revenue streams for cybercriminal organizations. Additionally, many groups have started to create methods to encrypt installations based on Linux, which is the operating system that, by default, is mostly found on on-premises servers (as well as in the cloud) of businesses. They not only attack Windows computers without discrimination.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In this field, organizations like <b>Conti</b>, <b>DarkSide</b>, or <b>REvi </b>stand out. Typically, an attack takes place after weeks of research into the potential victim's defensive posture. In reality, these kinds of gangs attempt to penetrate the entire organization's network before encrypting the information and requesting a ransom in order to find any vulnerabilities that may be exploited at that time or in the future.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Targeting Linux host images for workloads in virtualized environments has also begun by certain organisations, such as Conti. They are particularly interested in encrypting ESXi virtual machine images since doing so may have a big impact on their business.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Cryptojacking</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">One of the most common cyberattacks against Linux systems is cryptojacking, which involves hacking networks in order to leverage a machine's resources to mine cryptocurrency. It allows attackers to make a direct profit and may often go undiscovered by other hackers. victims, who in any case don't care until their machine's performance starts to deteriorate.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In this situation, <b>XMRig </b>and <b>Sysrv </b>are the most common mining malware families, and security firms like SonicWall report an average of 338 daily cryptojacking incidents per client network. Hackers frequently employ default password lists, bash exploits, or exploits created especially to target poorly configured computers in these attacks.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Attacks on IoT devices</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">With a few exceptions, the simplicity of Linux-based IoT devices makes them an appealing target for cybercriminals and one of the primary sources of risk that businesses may encounter.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Companies like <a href="https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/linux-targeted-malware-increased-by-35-percent-in-2021/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CrodwStrike report</a> a <b>35 percent rise in cyberattacks on Linux-based IoT devices</b> compared to the previous year.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Most cybercriminal organisations intend to infect these devices and add them to botnets with which to perform denial of service (DDoS) attacks against other targets. Some attacks aim to breach the security of these devices and discover a way to hack the network. Even after the infected device's firmware has been restored, such viruses may still exist.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Fileless attacks</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Many cyberattacks employ <a href="https://www.securityweek.com/ezuri-memory-loader-abused-linux-attacks" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ezuri</a>, an open-source program used to encrypt malicious code, according to certain cybersecurity experts who have been noticing this for more than a year.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">What makes it unique? It is exceedingly challenging for an antivirus protection solution to identify such attacks after the computer is compromised since the payload is run immediately from memory after the malicious code is decrypted and leaves no trace on the disk.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to my memory, a lot of these cyberattacks target Docker systems that have been incorrectly setup so that they may install DDoS bots and cryptojacking systems.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Linux malware on Windows machines</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Through the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), a technology that enables Linux files to execute on Windows, Linux malware may also target Windows PCs.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">While it is true that WSL must be installed manually or through the <b>Windows Insider</b> Program, cybercriminals are still capable of doing so if they are able to increase their level of access to the machine they are attacking.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688951718365111860.post-1227824757844062032022-07-09T14:07:00.005+01:002022-07-11T20:45:50.367+01:00How to Use Microsoft Office on Linux<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVMtOx2t4rJwSPcaay1DpgHDPdRHvjOSIpNhmiHOkSBZrNeYzx3ASULoC68R6gLzi3ZMTRL6V1kgrrlimnkdaXYW7HosmvYfY-1yItjMBrpNq5s_nAk1_YfxjzNXvLDt6Wa4Pj24UCb7D2ahDoWaUvUdSntPvE-kuv_PSfvJEjnMz3GdUGww-c9NBgEg/s1919/How-to-use-Microsoft-Office-on-Linux.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="917" data-original-width="1919" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVMtOx2t4rJwSPcaay1DpgHDPdRHvjOSIpNhmiHOkSBZrNeYzx3ASULoC68R6gLzi3ZMTRL6V1kgrrlimnkdaXYW7HosmvYfY-1yItjMBrpNq5s_nAk1_YfxjzNXvLDt6Wa4Pj24UCb7D2ahDoWaUvUdSntPvE-kuv_PSfvJEjnMz3GdUGww-c9NBgEg/s16000/How-to-use-Microsoft-Office-on-Linux.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The sole reason many people don't move to Linux is the lack of native compatibility for Microsoft Office. Yes, Linux does not support the installation of Microsoft Office. The absence of Microsoft Office on Linux causes further suffering for some current users. Yes, there are a number of excellent open-source office suites that are suitable for the majority of users.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, there are times when you are compelled to utilize Microsoft Office. It might not function well with LibreOffice if coworkers send you Office documents with complicated macros.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Similarly, if you use LibreOffice and your university or place of employment mandates you to write in .docx or .xlsx, there can be compatibility problems if tables, macros, and other components are used.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">These are real-world challenges that those who work with MS Office users must overcome. You don't have to give up Linux completely if you end up in a scenario where you need to use Microsoft Office.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Microsoft Office for Linux: Your alternatives</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">You may use a variety of other approaches to access Microsoft Office on Linux. Even while it's not quite the same as using Microsoft Office on Windows, you may still work with Office documents.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">1. Use Microsoft Office 365 online</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Microsoft Office apps can be used via a web browser, yes. And any operating system may use this. Linux is a part of this, of course.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If your internet connection is reliable, using this method will provide you the most access to Microsoft Office applications.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Keep in mind that not all of the capabilities included in the desktop version of Office are available in the online edition. However, it's frequently a wise decision.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You may access Microsoft 365 right away if you have a <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/microsoft-365/free-productivity-apps" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Microsoft account</a>. It's necessary to establish a Microsoft account if you don't already have one.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You may use a free version of all the necessary office programs, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and more, directly from your online browser.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i>Looks fantastic, doesn't it?</i></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The biggest feature of this service is the seamless integration of all the applications offered in the suit and the free 5GB of OneDrive storage you may use to preserve your documents online. Not to be overlooked, you may use the mobile app even on the road.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Be aware that Office Online and its native desktop programs have certain functional differences. Its official documents has further information on it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You may also choose a Microsoft 365 subscription if you want to get the most out of it with extra cloud storage and certain premium features.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Advantages</h4><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>With the Microsoft account, it is free</li><li>The cloud stores documents that are available from any device</li><li>5GB of free OneDrive storage</li><li>Without installing the software, any operating system may use it</li></ul><p></p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Disadvantages</h4><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>You must register for a Microsoft account</li><li>Free version is deficient in functionality</li><li>Document archiving is only free for up to 5GB of storage</li><li>Internet connection necessary to access and modify files</li></ul><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">2. Using the Windows Compatibility Application</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">What if you wish to use the Linux operating system to test the Microsoft Office desktop app?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Although it takes a while, it is feasible to install Windows using a virtual machine; however, we will cover this in more detail later.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Alternatively, you may run particular programs on Linux machines by using Windows compatibility levels.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I'll outline two methods for installing the Microsoft Office desktop client on Linux.</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li style="text-align: justify;"><b>PlayOnLinux use</b> (free but provides older versions of Microsoft Office)</li><li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Using CrossOver</b> (paid and with adequate support)</li></ul><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I'll give you a quick rundown on how to utilize them.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">PlayOnLinux use</h4><p style="text-align: justify;">One of the greatest methods to run Windows apps on Linux is using <a href="https://www.playonlinux.com/en/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">PlayOnLinux</a> on Linux.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You may install it on Ubuntu by using the following command in the terminal:</p><p></p><blockquote>sudo apt install winbind playonlinux winetricks -y </blockquote><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Open the app after installation, then click the Install button to synchronize the available packages and enable the installation of Microsoft Office (desired version).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVTTyDCjqM3sFTSSp83bpMQQfoLS1St7j2Q8aiDJvdNNF3A9f9jRRD8SZEKZJsW0lyOin2cpx1cwqcOBKXF87FzlZ0lweKzX5befiEts1A4W9QMuXE-gw94nrzx7SBVWLRcn3PntPeDWeUsSFfoMV4eLZf6-cNTQHzW614OcfiOIwqpAUmfAzhCDdRGg/s1242/Sync-available-software-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sync-available-software" border="0" data-original-height="814" data-original-width="1242" height="420" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVTTyDCjqM3sFTSSp83bpMQQfoLS1St7j2Q8aiDJvdNNF3A9f9jRRD8SZEKZJsW0lyOin2cpx1cwqcOBKXF87FzlZ0lweKzX5befiEts1A4W9QMuXE-gw94nrzx7SBVWLRcn3PntPeDWeUsSFfoMV4eLZf6-cNTQHzW614OcfiOIwqpAUmfAzhCDdRGg/w640-h420/Sync-available-software-1.jpg" title="Sync-available-software" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">You will now receive a message in which we will look for the software we need.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The installation ISO file or media for Microsoft Office may be downloaded from their <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/office.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">official download website</a> if you have previously purchased it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you don't want to utilize your installer, turn on the "No-CD needed" option and look for "Office."</p><p style="text-align: justify;">All Microsoft Office programs that are compatible will be listed.

However, you require a computer with sufficient system resources in order to execute a virtual machine. If you try to run it on a computer with 4 GB of RAM and an i3 CPU, it will fail terribly.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's not ideal. As you can experience issues transferring files and clipboards between the Windows guest OS and the Linux host OS.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The licensing of Windows is another issue. Your license is connected to your computer at the BIOS/firmware level if you have a new system that already has Windows installation.

Regardless of the reason, users can attempt a few fixes to get their GNOME desktop loaded once again.

Many of these techniques, however, may also be used to resolve other GNOME problems, such one where your GUI frequently gets slow or unresponsive. You should try each of these approaches to see if you can discover the best one for your system as the solutions shown below can address a wide range of issues.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Generally speaking, they ought to function on any Linux distribution, although individual results may vary based on your distribution, display manager, and system hardware.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Method 1</b>: To begin with, consider using a different TTY console. The keyboard shortcuts <b><i>Ctrl + Alt + F2</i></b> can be used to do this. To access more TTY consoles, you need also experiment with different function keys like F3 and F4. This might not be a long-term fix, but it might be a temporary workaround to at least display the GNOME login prompt. It could also provide you access to a command prompt, allowing you to attempt some of the below tasks.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Method 2</b>: To restart logind and the GNOME display manager, another option is to open a command prompt from another TTY session and execute one or both of the following commands.</p><p></p><blockquote><p>$ sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind</p><p>$ sudo systemctl restart gdm</p></blockquote><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">But if you've installed LightDM display manager, do the following:</p><p></p><blockquote style="text-align: justify;">$ sudo systemctl restart lightdm</blockquote><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Method 3</b>: You can clear all of GNOME's settings with the following <b><i>dconf</i></b> command if an incorrect configuration or desktop extension is to blame for the issue with GNOME loading. Please take note that using this command means that <b><span style="color: red;">ALL of your GNOME desktop settings, including wallpapers, icons, shortcuts, etc., will be erased</span></b>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><blockquote>$ dconf reset -f /org/gnome/</blockquote><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Method 4</b>: Reinstalling the gnome-session package can help if you're experiencing a GNOME session problem. All related settings ought to be reset by this. If you are using a different distribution, you may modify the following command for the apt package manager.</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">$ sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-session</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Method 5</b>: Some users have reported success with changing the <b><i>mkinitcpio.conf</i></b> configuration file on Arch Linux and derivative distributions. Open the following document in nano or any text editor of your choice:</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">$ sudo nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">Likewise, insert the following line into the file:</p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">MODULES=(amdgpu)</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Method 6</b>: There is always the nuclear option if none of the aforementioned suggestions have worked for you. Specifically, to entirely reinstall GNOME. For instance, the two instructions below would work on Debian-based distributions, such as Ubuntu.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">$ sudo apt purge gnome-session gdm3</p><p>$ sudo apt install gnome-session gdm3</p></blockquote><p></p><p><b>NOTE</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If none of the aforementioned suggestions work for you, see our troubleshooting <a href="https://linux-software-news-tutorials.blogspot.com/2022/07/fix-black-screen-Problem-Ubuntu.html" target="_blank">article for Ubuntu black screen fix</a>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Final Thoughts</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Several fixes for the GNOME desktop environment not loading on a Linux system were demonstrated in this guide.

It offered a Snap file to download for installation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The application wouldn't install when I tried to use a Snap file.</p><p></p><blockquote>sudo snap install snap_file</blockquote><p></p><p>I got the following error message:</p><p></p><blockquote>error: cannot find signatures with metadata for snap “masscode_2.6.1_amd64.snap”</blockquote><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">What an odd thing. In Ubuntu, you must add the GPG key when adding external repositories. But the developer in this case did not offer any such items.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Simple and straightforward is the "fix". Let me give you an explanation.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Dealing with the issue "cannot find signatures with metadata for snap"</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">There are no signatures necessary in this case. You have a Snap installation file that you got from a third party, which is what has happened. Ubuntu's snap mechanism assumes you will obtain your snap packages from the official snap store.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You get the error message "cannot locate signatures with metadata for snap" since it isn't from the snap store. Like most error messages, this one is not particularly descriptive.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>So what is the solution in this case?</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Installing snap packages that aren't obtained via the Snap store requires the -dangerous flag. That is the law.</p><p></p><blockquote>sudo snap install --dangerous path_to_snap_file</blockquote><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">By doing this, you may instruct the snap package manager to install the snap package specifically.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I used this option in this instance, and massCode's snap package was successfully installed.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">How "dangerous" is this method of installing snap packages? </h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The process is quite similar to obtaining and installing packages in deb format.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In my view, you are already entrusting the project if you are downloading the snap package from the project developer's website. You can install it using the -dangerous flag in certain circumstances.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Naturally, you should check to see if the package is offered in the Snap store first:</p><p></p><blockquote>snap find package_name</blockquote><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I sincerely hope that this little advice helped you with the Snap error.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688951718365111860.post-67173720995437576772022-07-07T13:49:00.003+01:002022-07-11T20:46:33.669+01:00GNOME 43 Will Bring Web Extensions and Software Applications<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaoSu3L0QTs3WeHTOddpeV3EJAFfEzTf0NAEcktmnVhh6L4NZf48Herqt9Yg7drhC2aDdlVlGQkdU6FwcYY5-QztOAfnkSEbqPzd7zfqAMps9J8fg1AN8kqnASlxNUfiEjOosnzXr3Qd0ZHOKX1YOWb-BSfeEQYrr_loVVyB5ZeOIvVkZzEZ7h69V-TQ/s1200/GNOMEWeb.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="GNOMEWeb" border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaoSu3L0QTs3WeHTOddpeV3EJAFfEzTf0NAEcktmnVhh6L4NZf48Herqt9Yg7drhC2aDdlVlGQkdU6FwcYY5-QztOAfnkSEbqPzd7zfqAMps9J8fg1AN8kqnASlxNUfiEjOosnzXr3Qd0ZHOKX1YOWb-BSfeEQYrr_loVVyB5ZeOIvVkZzEZ7h69V-TQ/s16000/GNOMEWeb.jpg" title="GNOMEWeb" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The upcoming major release of the desktop environment, GNOME 43, will have a number of novel features, some of which are already starting to gain notoriety even though the initial alpha has not yet been made available. One of the most intriguing of those things is the restored <b>support for web applications and extensions</b>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">little by bit. We are, of course, talking to extension functionality in GNOME Web, the GNOME Project browser that comes with every desktop environment release when we talk about extensions on the Web. Call it Epiphany or <b>GNOME Web</b>; either way, it's a small alternative that has always existed but has recently started to become more relevant.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Definition of "extension support" Exactly that, but beautifully done: support for <b>installing Firefox extensions in GNOME Web</b>, not just support for four separate extensions. The implementation of several APIs is being used by GNOME developers, and these APIs would already have suitable components like tabs, storage, notifications, and downloads added to them.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Having said that, it is not anticipated that GNOME Web 43 will be as advanced as Firefox itself, or even whether it will be when they do, but everything is just getting started. It will be important to monitor how it develops and in what form it is provided, but it is undeniably a potential feature that, in theory, <a href="https://debugpointnews.com/gnome-web-43-extension/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">can already be explored</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirr4P4ArImvsmPDiBDAFI00I1Q_qjnWPs3wo4C0ki-3KjzG4-mGE5CFn7u6f08xFBcq6JHjjWV9vs9qeGjWeWVYLUhe902AbD1VQAaiCG7iiIhowCohoZtay76QOlPZK6Lmw5EqOJlcwDD3vGpe2-f8uXOrwGFIrTJB66rlMdWFeNzcdjUDsIlAaduew/s1400/GNOMEWeb1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="GNOMEWeb1" border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1400" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirr4P4ArImvsmPDiBDAFI00I1Q_qjnWPs3wo4C0ki-3KjzG4-mGE5CFn7u6f08xFBcq6JHjjWV9vs9qeGjWeWVYLUhe902AbD1VQAaiCG7iiIhowCohoZtay76QOlPZK6Lmw5EqOJlcwDD3vGpe2-f8uXOrwGFIrTJB66rlMdWFeNzcdjUDsIlAaduew/w640-h330/GNOMEWeb1.jpg" title="GNOMEWeb1" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The support of web applications, one of <b>GNOME Software's novelties</b> that <a href="https://9to5linux.com/gnome-43-to-bring-support-for-web-apps-in-software-new-device-security-info-panel" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">does appear to be ready</a> to boost the introduction of GNOME 43, follows on from the support of extensions in GNOME Web. With a focus on PWAs, webapps will have a spot in the application store by default (Progressive Web Apps or progressive web applications).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, there are some concerns with this because, generally speaking, web applications, PWA or not, are linked to the web browser that is currently active, the web browser with which they were installed, so we will also need to see how they address it: will they be web applications that are only available through GNOME Web and have a more sophisticated level of desktop integration? Back then</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Or are applications for the electron also being discussed? There are many of them available there, as well as in Flatpak format on Flathub, and Canonical first recognized them as a Snap Store incentive years ago. Namely.

As such, it is not surprising that the other does not follow Oracle Linux 9.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Since the distribution, as a whole, no longer exists, CentOS 9 did not come following the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 as normal. However, AlmaLinux 9 did, having been positioned practically from the start as the new star derivative of RHEL, even if Rocky Linux has not yet appeared.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Oracle Linux 9, on the other hand, is already present and hasn't been late for a scheduled event in 15 years. And it has always done so rather dependably: similar to a binary level clone of RHEL, with guaranteed compatibility with its packages, but with its own seasonings, namely the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel, which is its most defining characteristic.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Aside from its unique kernel, the distribution's other noteworthy qualities for the release of Oracle Linux 9 include its <b>complete freedom and lack of installation restrictions</b>: You only pay Oracle if you want assistance.

Apple has previously launched two "regular" iPhones with screen sizes of 5.4 inches (small model) and 6.1 inches (base model), as well as two iPhone "Pro" models with screens measuring 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches ("Max" model).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The minimum model will be discontinued with the release of the iPhone 14 to make place for a new "Max" model, which will also have a 6.7-inch screen. This change would be Apple's answer to the decline in sales and decline in popularity that the iPhone 13 mini has been experiencing. On the other hand, it makes sense because the size of the screen is important in this context and the smartphone has increasingly become a necessary instrument for playing multimedia content.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Potential iPhone 14 specifications: A review of each new model</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3dIcVNS4LtKt67EICN2cocULGag_j8X9JlfJlc34kC8XkQpro7l3eSlmgyprRVF1R5Ow8Cpxr0mn5_nR-0ed8vRC14J6wOja2DBtpZhEm0EIZ4zMumsnL43GOFe1tcVYJGjyYJXm_m0wm1wbb6q0wLu7H3ltEAm0VOThthbdUTMAmlATG-kSOX4JcrA/s1600/iPhone-14-Pro-3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="iPhone-14-Pro-3" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3dIcVNS4LtKt67EICN2cocULGag_j8X9JlfJlc34kC8XkQpro7l3eSlmgyprRVF1R5Ow8Cpxr0mn5_nR-0ed8vRC14J6wOja2DBtpZhEm0EIZ4zMumsnL43GOFe1tcVYJGjyYJXm_m0wm1wbb6q0wLu7H3ltEAm0VOThthbdUTMAmlATG-kSOX4JcrA/w640-h360/iPhone-14-Pro-3.jpg" title="iPhone-14-Pro-3" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">There won't be a tiny version of the iPhone 14, and there will be a total of four models that Apple will release. Everything about the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max's design suggests that they will follow the same path as the iPhone 13 in terms of flat frames, the recognizable notch on the front, and the arrangement of two cameras. it will likely be arranged diagonally once more at the rear. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will be made of glass and aluminum as there won't be any changes in the build quality, which we expect to remain the same.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Since the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will have a front without a notch, these models will be where we witness the most significant modifications in terms of design. Instead, they will have two islands, one a smaller circular one and the other a horizontal oval, where all the components required for the Face ID interface to function properly will be incorporated. It will include a similar triple camera configuration at the back, and both cameras are reportedly going to be made of glass and titanium.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Potential features of the iPhone 14</h2><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>6.1-inch screen with a 2,532 x 1,170 pixel resolution.</li><li>6-core Apple A15 SoC processor (two high-performance and four high-efficiency).</li><li>Apple GPU featuring four cores</li><li>a RAM of 6 GB</li><li>Storage space in its base model is 128 GB</li><li>Dual 12 MP back cameras</li><li>The operating system is iOS 16</li></ul><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Potential features of the iPhone 14 Max</h2><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>6.7-inch screen with a 2,778 x 1,284 pixel resolution</li><li>6-core Apple A15 SoC processor (two high-performance and four high-efficiency)</li><li>Apple GPU featuring four cores</li><li>a RAM of 6 GB</li><li>Storage space in its base model is 128 GB</li><li>Dual 12 MP back cameras</li><li>The operating system is iOS 16</li></ul><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Potential features of the iPhone 14 Pro</h2><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>ProMotion technology and 120 Hz refresh rate on a 6.1-inch screen</li><li>6-core Apple A16 SoC processor (two high-performance and four high-efficiency)</li><li>apple GPUs</li><li>A RAM of 8 GB</li><li>Storage space in its base model is 128 GB</li><li>Featuring three back cameras and a 48 MP primary lens</li><li>The operating system is iOS 16</li></ul><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Potential features of the iPhone 14 Pro Max</h2><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>ProMotion technology and 120 Hz refresh rate on a 6.7-inch screen</li><li>6-core Apple A16 SoC processor (two high-performance and four high-efficiency)</li><li>apple GPUs</li><li>A RAM of 8 GB</li><li>Storage space in its base model is 128 GB</li><li>Featuring three back cameras and a 48 MP primary lens</li><li>The operating system is iOS 16</li></ul><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will, in theory, be the ones that will signal a significant evolutionary leap compared to the previous generation, as we can see in the list of potential features that we have just provided, while the iPhone 14 and the "Max" model They'll take a far more gradual approach, so much so that they won't release any significant innovations that would tempt those with iPhone 13s to upgrade.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">All models will come with an Apple Snapdragon X65 5G modem, be Wi-Fi 6E compliant, and in some regions, only be available in eSIM, or without a SIM card slot.

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro may arrive first, while the "Max" variants may be launched a few weeks later. It is vital to keep in mind that the release dates of each model may vary.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Overall, barring a last-minute delay that forces Apple to delay the release of these new terminals, we can practically guarantee that every model will be available by the end of September.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The truth is that there is a noticeable discrepancy between the key leaks and rumors that we have been seeing regarding the launch price.

The date and time the capture was recorded are included in the video file name, which is helpful if you make several recordings in quick succession.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;">How to Use GNOME Shell's Top Secret Screen Recorder</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Simply hit this keyboard shortcut to capture your Ubuntu desktop screen (and everything that shows and occurs on it) and save it as a video:</p><p></p><blockquote style="text-align: justify;">Ctrl + Alt + Shift + R</blockquote><p></p><p>This will immediately start recording.</p><p>A tiny red dot will appear in the system tray area to indicate that a screen recording is active.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyphWhVaz9lkspc-mpQkrhKmis3PAPdSMCZ_3ZK9GkjRuA-Uzu-bPynVw_RLNXmdD_HzuYbCFIGpO_e0PSyjkPeWI8R5qkQZUHZE83BqY2v_zg8RaehlCM6nTEHWOgFx3AzZvnbArc11I1NBAkesDeoTqVioqJ-xhHkbUjIVX2LZhNDbRSwvzSquJnIA/s695/How-to-Use-GNOME-Shell's-Top-Secret-Screen-Recorder1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How-to-Use-GNOME-Shell's-Top-Secret-Screen-Recorder1" border="0" data-original-height="281" data-original-width="695" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyphWhVaz9lkspc-mpQkrhKmis3PAPdSMCZ_3ZK9GkjRuA-Uzu-bPynVw_RLNXmdD_HzuYbCFIGpO_e0PSyjkPeWI8R5qkQZUHZE83BqY2v_zg8RaehlCM6nTEHWOgFx3AzZvnbArc11I1NBAkesDeoTqVioqJ-xhHkbUjIVX2LZhNDbRSwvzSquJnIA/w640-h259/How-to-Use-GNOME-Shell's-Top-Secret-Screen-Recorder1.jpg" title="How-to-Use-GNOME-Shell's-Top-Secret-Screen-Recorder1" width="640" /></a></div><p><span style="text-align: justify;">After 30 seconds, the recording automatically ends.

To stop recording, simply press the keyboard shortcut you used to begin.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
