Fedora 24 is both a delight & simply frustrating at the same time. We share our experiences with one of the most highly anticipated Fedora releases.

Plus Canonical makes good on the code, a big hole in Linux & more!

Fedora 24 Review

Most awaited version of Fedora 24 workstation, Server and cloud image is officially released on 21st June 2016. Some of the improved features noticed in Fedora 24 workstation are listed below:

Explore Flatpak in Fedora 24

We covered the Flatpak release announcement a few days ago here on the Fedora Magazine, but if you’ve never heard of Flatpak before that, you may have heard of xdg-app which was a development name for this technology. It was recently renamed to Flatpak to reflect the fact that it’s finally ready for broader usage. Besides Fedora Flatpak is already available in Arch, Debian (Experimental), Mageia, openSUSE (still as xdg-app). There are also personal repositories with Flatpak for Debian Stable and Ubuntu.

Applications require the org.gnome.Platform 3.20 runtime. See the runtimes page for details on how to install this.

To add the nightly-graphics repository, run:

wget https://209.132.179.2/keys/nightly.gpg

flatpak remote-add --gpg-import=nightly.gpg nightly-graphics https://209.132.179.2/repo/

Now you have the Gnome runtime, and are ready to install software.

You can then list available apps using:

flatpak remote-ls gnome-apps --app
 
Pick the app you want, example:

flatpak install gnome-apps org.gnome.gedit stable

On Fedora 23 or 24:

Recently, there has been a big development in RPM Fusion for Fedora 24.

Fedora 22 Linux to Reach End of Life on July 19, 2016, Move to Fedora 24 Now

“This is a reminder email about the end of life process for Fedora 22. Fedora 22 will reach end of life on 2016-07-19, and no further updates will be pushed out after that time. Additionally, with the recent release of Fedora 24, no new packages will be added to the Fedora 22 collection,” says Dennis Gilmore.

Sony agrees to pay millions to gamers to settle PS3 Linux debacle

Sony and lawyers representing as many as 10 million console owners reached the deal on Friday.

Under the terms of the accord, (PDF) which has not been approved by a California federal judge yet, _gamers are eligible to receive $55 if they used Linux on the console.

The proposed settlement, which will be vetted by a judge next month, also provides $9 to each console owner that bought a PS3 based on Sony’s claims about “Other OS” functionality._

Snappy server source code?

The snap *format* is not intrinsically tied to a store. You can stand up
a snap on a system regardless of how it arrived at that system. So the
current store implementation is not particularly relevant, and would not
be a good starting point.

The simplest approach would be to focus on delivering a snap to a system
over HTTPS. Since there are no complex dependency maps, you don’t need
the same sort of sophisticated infrastructure that APT or Debs or RPM
do, you just need a webserver and wget.

In fact, Bret Barker has published an open source (Apache License) SNAP store on GitHub. We’re already looking at how to flesh out his proof-of-concept and bring it into snapcore itself.

Linux CVE-2016-4997 and CVE-2016-4998

Impact: Kernel memory corruption, leading to elevation of privileges or kernel code execution. This occurs in a compat_setsockopt() call that is normally restricted to root, however, Linux 3/4 kernels that support user and network namespaces can allow an unprivileged user to trigger this functionality. This is exploitable from inside a container.

From the Canyon Edge: HOWTO: Host your own SNAP store!

The answer is really quite simple… SNAP stores are really just HTTP web servers! Of course, you can get fancy with branding, and authentication, and certificates. But if you just want to host SNAPs and enable downstream users to fetch and install software, well, it’s pretty trivial.
