Red Hat to Acquire CoreOS, Expanding its Kubernetes and Containers Leadership — Red Hat today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire CoreOS, Inc., an innovator and leader in Kubernetes and container-native solutions, for a purchase price of $250 million
TechSNAP Episode 353: Too Many Containers — We introduce you to Kubernetes, what problems it solves, why everyone is talking about it, and where it came from. Also who shouldn’t be using Kubernetes, and the problems you can run into when scaling it.
LibreOffice 6.0 Released — The release of LibreOffice 6.0 marks the first major update to the productivity suite since the LibreOffice 5.4 release back in July 2017. It also coincides with the anniversary of the very first release of LibreOffice in January 2011.
How do I test Plasma Mobile? (part 2) — Currently there are two possible ways of testing Plasma Mobile on an actual mobile device, using postmarketOS, installing Halium and a KDE neon-based rootfs
GNOME and KDE in PureOS: diversity across devices — If we were doing short-term planning it would be easy to “just use Plasma” for the Librem 5, but that would undermine our long-term vision of having a consistent look/feel across all our devices, where GNOME/GTK+ is already the default and what we’ve invested in.
Purism considering UBports for the Librem 5
Purism Might Develop An X11-Free Wayland Compositor — We also reviewed and evaluated compositing managers and desktop shells that we could use for a phone UI. We aim to use only Wayland, trying to get rid of as much X11 legacy as we possibly can, for performance issues and for better security. From our discussions with GNOME maintainers of existing compositors and shells, we may be better off igniting a new compositor (upstreamed and backed by GNOME) in order to avoid the X11 baggage.
Matrix receives large investment — We’re delighted to announce that our friends at Status have made a major strategic investment ($5M) in New Vector: the company which currently employs most of the Matrix.org core team.
FSF receives large Bitcoin donation — The Free Software Foundation (FSF) announced it has received a record-breaking charitable contribution of 91.45 Bitcoin from the Pineapple Fund, valued at $1 million at the time of the donation.

Solus pushing forward Steam with Snaps — That snap, as some people have already guessed as much, will be the linux-steam-integration project, using a strict-mode LSI intercept module. We can also make various tweaks on top of that runtime to enforce ABI compatibility where it might be missing.
AAC will be supported in Fedora Workstation 27 — What we will be shipping in Fedora is a modified version of the AAC implementation released by Google, which was originally written by Frauenhoffer. On top of that we will of course be providing GStreamer plugins to enable full support for playing and creating AAC files for GStreamer applications.
Plasma 5.11 released — Plasma 5.11 brings a redesigned settings app, improved notifications, a more powerful task manager. Plasma 5.11 is the first release to contain the new “Vault”, a system to allow the user to encrypt and open sets of documents in a secure and user-friendly way, making Plasma an excellent choice for people dealing with private and confidential information.
5.12 aims for Wayland improvements — If we all just use Wayland and report and fix the bugs we run into I’m sure that 5.12 will be an awesome release on Wayland. So please help to make it happen!
KDE turns 21 — t was on 14 October 1996 that the “Kool Desktop Environment” was founded by Matthias Ettrich. At the time he wanted KDE to be a “consistent, nice looking free desktop-environment.”
Fwupd 1.0 Released — fwupd now supports 72 different kinds of hardware, support for another ~12 devices is currently being worked on, many vendors continue using or exploring fwupd, and around 165,000 devices each month get updated firmware using fwupd with LVFS.
Oneplus collecting data in Oxygen OS — Moore discovered that some of the data being sent to OnePlus’ servers included the phone’s IMEI number, the phone number, MAC addresses, mobile network names and IMSI prefixes, Wi-Fi connection info, and the phone’s serial number.
Say they’ll stop — By the end of October, “all OnePlus phones running OxygenOS will have a prompt in the setup wizard that asks users if they want to join our user experience program.” Not only that, but he also stated that OnePlus “will no longer be collecting telephone numbers, MAC Addresses and WiFi information.
Librem 5 funded — 14 days early, we have crossed a historic milestone.
Purism Collaborates with Cryptocurrency Monero — The Monero Project is a grassroots, community-driven initiative that advocates for privacy on a global scale by producing several free libre open source software projects, with the flagship offering being Monero, a fungible and decentralized cryptocurrency.

Solus 3 Released

On behalf of the Solus team and community, we’re extremely proud to announce the immediate availability of Solus 3. This is the third iteration of Solus since our move to become a rolling release operating system. Unlike the previous iterations, however, this is a release and not a snapshot. We’ve now moved away from the “regular snapshot” model to accommodate the best hybrid approach possible – feature rich releases with explicit goals and technology enabling, along with the benefits of a curated rolling release operating system.

This release features out-of-the-box support for snaps, universal software packages for Linux. Support for snaps relieves pressure from software vendors to target a specific platform by sharing a unified target across all Linux distributions. For our users, they gain access to a wide variety of software that may not meet our package inclusion criteria, such as server software, as well as enabling an improved distribution method for Third Party software.

Support for Snaps was made possible due to fantastic cross-platform collaboration between Canonical’s Snapcraft and Ubuntu teams and Solus, which is the first non-Ubuntu distribution to feature full snap confinement leveraging AppArmor, offering feature parity with the reference Ubuntu implementation.

Adopting Flatpak To Reassemble Third Party Applications | Solus

Why Flatpak is our choice

Firstly, and very importantly to us, the so-called “chrome distribution issue” has already been conquered
by Endless OS, utilizing Flatpak. On the other hand, this is still
(to the best of my knowledge) at the prototype stage with Snaps.

OK, let’s not get hung up completely on a single example. From the perspective of integration,
Snap (snapd and snapcraft) represents the biggest integration challenge. To correctly and
fully integrate it would require modification of the build system (which disables networking by
default for security!) to provide a full set of builds for the packages and their dependencies.

Additionally, AppArmor (not used by Solus) is also required.

On the other hand, integrating Flatpak into Solus was as trivial as packaging ostree and flatpak,
barring some minor changes which we’re already upstreaming.

You may rightly argue that I’m being lazy. To counter those points, we must look to the future uses of Flatpak within Solus.

You Can Now Package Your Apps as Snaps Without Bundling Their Dependencies

This is possible now because the latest ubuntu-app-platform snap build incorporates the standard Qt 5 libraries, the QML (Qt Meta Language) runtime, the Ubuntu UI (User Interface) toolkit, and their dependencies. The Oxide web engine library based on Chromium and related QML bindings is also bundled in the ubuntu-app-platform snap, so the new Snaps should now be significantly smaller.

DalmatinerDB – A fast distributed metric store

DalmatinerDB’s performance relies heavily on taking advantage of facilities like ARC, ZIL, checksums and volume compression. Expecting those things to be handled on a filesystem level makes it possible to remove most of the code for caching, compression, validation from the application improving code simplicity, stability, and performance significantly.

Essentially the main difference is that it relies on some very well tested software as the foundation. Clustering is a first class citizen and complicated compression and checksumming code is kept out of the database where ZFS can do it instead.

Currently Dalmatiner is a great database if you are looking for a reliable time series metrics store that scales and is 100% open source and not backed by a commercial company.

Subject: New Linux Computer

As my father is soon looking at retirement he is going to lose access his work provided laptop. He has asked me for recommendations on a new machine. I’m considering the possibility of moving him over to Linux. He is technologically competent and not afraid of trying something new but is still more comfortable going with a well-known manufacturer. Immediately my first thought was the Dell XPS 13 as he is familiar with them and they also offer Linux support out of the box which is a huge plus as I can purchase the Windows version so that knows he has the option to fallback to Windows if he ends up not liking Linux. However, after looking into the device it appears that these machines are still affected by Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC) that can’t be disabled and coil whine issues. Outside of System76 machines is the XPS 13 still the go-to Linux laptop? Do you have any better recommendations? Thanks.

Surround 360 is now open source

Today we officially open-sourced the specs for Surround 360, our high-quality 3D-360 hardware and software video capture system. The open source project includes the hardware camera design and software stitching code that makes end-to-end 3D-360 video capture possible in one system — from shooting to video processing.

We believe making the camera design and stitching code freely available on GitHub will accelerate the growth of the 3D-360 ecosystem — developers will be able to leverage the code, and content creators can use the camera in their productions. Anyone will be able to contribute to, build on top of, improve, or distribute the camera based on these specs.

The fall of Open Source

The moment that Open Source becomes primarily about “my time” is the moment that Open Source is no longer a movement. It is no longer an ideology. It is no longer about fairness, freedom, equality, rights, or the greater good.

Canonical Announces Snappy Sprint Event in Germany to Shape Up Universal Snaps

Today, July 5, Canonical’s David Planella has informed Softpedia about an upcoming event that aims to gather together developers and contributors from various well-known projects to work on shaping up the universal Snaps.

Just finished the first cross distro session on Day 2 of the Snappy Sprint. Sitting in this room are representatives from Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux, openSUSE, elementary and Ubuntu. All working together to make sure that Snappy is well integrated into the various distro CI systems and provides a consistent experience everywhere.

Fedora 24 Review

Fedora 24 Workstation Installation Steps with Screenshots

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:

GNOME 3.2 — Improved Desktop Gnome 3.20 which makes searching of files easier and also provide simple interface to manage printer jobs.
Flatpak Tool Support — A flatpak is a tool that allows us to package Linux based application and distribute it on the linux systems which supports flatpak. Beauty of Flatpak is that it doesn’t depend what is currently installed on your system.
Upgrade via Graphical Mode — Fedora 24 workstation provides a feature to upgrade your fedora OS(Operating System) version to the latest version graphically without any issues.
Latest Version of Libre Office 5.1
Introduction of Wayland — Wayland is the new X display Server
QGnomePlatform Support
Firefox 47
Latest version Photo Editor Shotwell-0.23.1

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.

Flatpak Apps

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

Snaps on Fedora 24

View post on imgur.com

On Fedora 23 or 24:

sudo dnf install snapd
enable the snapd systemd service:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.service
SELinux support is in beta, so on Fedora 24 you currently have to:
sudo setenforce 0
to persist, edit /etc/selinux/config to set SELINUX=permissive and reboot.
RPM Fusion for Fedora 24 status update

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.

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

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.

OpenStore

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.

Few things that were not mentioned in LAS:

new option to always show menu has been added
client side decoration is fully supported in Unity
Gnome Calendar is installed by default
Empathy has been removed similar to Brasero as not many people use desktop IM clients
Startup Disk Creator have been update, and actually works
Gnome Software has proper notifications (what Noah was saying has been fixed)
Music and Messaging menus are dynamic now, for example if you use VLC to play media only controls for that player show up
Unity now support 3rd party themes better
most software are set to optional, so you can uninstall a key software and it won’t break your system
The launcher, not only can you move it to the bottom, it also shows the icon of the application you launched to let the user know that it has been launched and is loading (for slower computers, this will help the user from accidentally launching it again)
Launcher now properly shows different instances of nautilus (i.e. USB CD, Trash, Downloads, etc. are shown separately and not all clumped into one icon of Files)
Gnome Software got comments and rating support
