Per this French posting (translation), this company based out of Paris is being liquidated. Surprisingly, in 2013 the company managed to pull in 553.6k USD, but it wasn’t sustainable and now in 2015 the company with 10 to 19 employees left is ending.

Opening The Gates To Our Daily Open-Source Linux Benchmark Results – Phoronix

For a few months now I’ve been talking about the LinuxBenchmarking.com initiative to provide daily benchmark results of the latest development Git/SVN code for various open-source projects in a fully-automated manner… Among the projects being tracked have been the Linux kernel, GCC, LLVM Clang, etc.

• LinuxBenchmarking.com

LinuxBenchmarking.com is a public deployment of the next-generation Phoromatic test orchestration and management software built into Phoronix Test Suite 5.4 and newer. This reference deployment of the open-source Phoronix Test Suite / Phoromatic benchmarking software tracks the performance of several high-profile open-source projects on a daily basis looking for performance regressions and improvements. This test farm is fully open-source and automated from the powering on/off systems, setting the systems into their appropriate state each time, remotely managing and maintaining the systems, and the collection of all benchmark results.

Fedora 22 Released, See What`s New

Fedora 22 Workstation was released today and it ships with the latest stable GNOME 3.16, a new default package manager and other interesting changes.

Torrent Server for the Fedora Project

• Release Notes

This document provides the release notes for Fedora 22. It describes major changes offered as compared to Fedora 21. For a detailed listing of all changes, refer to the Fedora Technical Notes.

GNOME login screen doesn’t appear after installation

• Common F22 bugs – FedoraProject

link to this item – Bugzilla: #1218787

On certain Macbook laptops with dual graphics cards, Fedora 22 Live environment boots fine, but after installation there’s just black screen and no boot splash followed by a GNOME login screen. There seems to be an issue with Wayland, an upcoming window system, which is used in GNOME login screen.

It seems that users of affected laptops should be able to work around this issue by booting in a basic graphics mode (adding nomodeset to the boot command line in GRUB), and then editing /etc/gdm/custom.conf file and uncommenting the following line:

#WaylandEnable=false

That will disable Wayland for GNOME login screen in future boots.

Red Hat Has Another Developer Now Working On Nouveau – Phoronix

Hans de Goede in the past has mostly been known for his Linux USB contributions while one year ago he joined the Red Hat Graphics Team where he worked on the various X.Org/Wayland things and then for a while was one of the Red Hat developers working on libinput.

With the libinput work settling down, his next course of action is going to be working on Nouveau. Right now it’s not known specifically what he’ll be focusing on as he’s still learning more about GPU driver programming, but it’s great to see Red Hat providing additional resources for Nouveau. Hans shared his new Nouveau focus at Red Hat via this mailing list post introducing himself to the Nouveau community.

We chat about our time with the new Plasma 5 desktop from KDE, then using the latest situation with Manjaro we discuss the poor state of Linux news, root causes, and what the real solution is that has major ramifications for the open source community.

Plus some fantastic feedback, a Command Line challenge update, and our big plans for next week!

We love when our community shares screenshots and stories of what they create on elementary OS. When you share how you use elementary OS, you’re sharing the fact that it’s something real people use every day—that it’s something both five-year-olds and professional programmers can use. Your stories and the community you create is a big part of what brings people to elementary OS.

KDE – New Plasma brings a cleaner interface on top of a new graphics stack

KDE proudly announces the immediate availability of Plasma 5.0, providing a visually updated core desktop experience that is easy to use and familiar to the user. Plasma 5.0 introduces a new major version of KDE’s workspace offering. The new Breeze artwork concept introduces cleaner visuals and improved readability.

Here we are again…

Michael came by some information about Manjaro developers leaving the distribution. No big deal, that happens; people move on. But that’s not sexy enough to drive clicks. So what we need here is a really flagrant title, one like: “Manjaro Linux Developers Experience A Mass Exodus”.

Now in the real world of news reporting, there is this thing called ‘Verification’, wherein, you try to independently verify from multiple sources the information you are researching. You contact multiple people, you get the story from different angles, and then you decided what you are going to write. But in todays fast paced ‘Get the story out first’ online news reporting, that step gets lost. Sites want to be the first one to release news, why…? Because the first to report gets the clicks, and in this world. Clicks = Money. We have sacrificed Truth for convenience and money.

But there’s a more ugly deceitful side; intentionally NOT verifying information can sometimes create a lot of drama. And drama my friends… well… Drama = Clicks. So whats our mantra? – Get the story out first! – If its wrong and creates drama no problem — that’s a plus, it’ll drive more traffic to our site. We can later ‘retract’ any false information once we’ve actually been presented with the correct information.
It’s simple math.
Drama = Clicks. Click = Money. Thus: Drama = Money.

• Only a few days old, OpenSSL fork LibreSSL is declared “unsafe for Linux” | Ars Technica

A security researcher has warned that there are cases where the LibreSSL PRNG will produce identical output two or more times when running on Linux systems, something he called a “catastrophic failure.” The same data can be returned when an application process is cloned—or “forked,” in computing parlance—something that can happen when an operating system repeats a similar task over and over, like each time a Web server opens a new connection, for example. In most cases, LibreSSL will detect that a process has been forked because its identifier, known as a PID, will differ. In those cases, LibreSSL will automatically reseed the random numbers to ensure they’re unique to the new process.

I also want to make it clear none of these small form-factor dev boards/devices based on ARM have no Gigabit bandwidth capability. Not even on media boxes sold directly from China.

If you want real Gigabit bandwidth or 10Gbps bandwidth you can look elsewhere because you won\’t find it in ARM except in higher-end stuff like Calxeda or AMD.
