Hi there. I've modified the article with all the fantastic suggestions by Dale Raby. Also I've removed the duplicated content and converted the document to ODF, PDF and txt for people with slow computers or no google account. Thanks for all and regards.

New Contributor for Fedora Magazine: Jie
by Jie Kang 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

Hi all, Following the guide [1] I'd like to introduce myself! I'm Jie Kang, a software engineer at Red Hat. I'd like to write an article for the Fedora Magazine to introduce a new module in Fedora, Java Mission Control (JMC). JMC is a powerful analysis tool for the HotSpot JVM and is able to read Java Flight Recordings produced by the JDK. These two technologies were open-sourced by Oracle last year and JMC has been packaged recently for distribution as a module in Fedora [2]. I I'm interested in writing a short article on how to install the JMC module on Fedora and use it to analyze running JVMs on the system or previously created Flight Recordings. Would this be the correct type of content for Fedora Magazine? [1] https://fedoramagazine.org/writing-an-article-for-the-fedora-magazine/ [2] https://src.fedoraproject.org/modules/jmc Regards,

Pitch: k3s on Fedora IoT
by Lennart Jern 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Hi! I have a pitch ready: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=25824&preview=true It's about running Kubernetes in the form of k3s on Fedora IoT. I'm doing this at home on a couple of Raspberry Pi's and it has really been a pleasant experience compared to the normal kubeadm installation, which is just too heavy on these devices. On a completely different topic, I noticed that there is a lovely badge <https://badges.fedoraproject.org/badge/extra%21--extra%21> for contributing to the magazine. But is hasen't been awarded to anyone in over a year! Surely there must have been a few first time contributors in that time (myself included ;) )? Best regards, Lennart Jern

Idea: ffsend
by Igor Gnatenko 16 Mar '19

16 Mar '19

Hello, Some of you might have seen announcement of Firefox Send: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2019/03/12/introducing-firefox-send-providing… There is an awesome open source CLI client for it called ffsend ( https://gitlab.com/timvisee/ffsend) I have packaged it for F28+. Unfortunately due to lack of time I can't write an article for Fedora Magazine. Is there anybody who could do that? I'll be happy to help though.

Pitch: How to pass kernel options with BLS
by Laura Abbott 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

If you haven't seen it, there is a change to use BootloadSpec as the way to generate entries for F30 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/BootLoaderSpecByDefault . One of the major impacts is that modifying kernel command line arguments is now different and doesn't match most other guides. I think a short article about the best way to set kernel command line arguments with the new setup would be beneficial to users. I can write something up and get it reviewed by the change owners (Peter and Javier). I'll leave it to the editors to decide when would be a good time to run this. Thanks, Laura

Hello everyone, I would like to continue my C# tutorial where I left it. Second part will be variables and data structures, basically covering how to create and define variables, the different data structures C# has and probably explaining a little bit about the main components of a C# program. PS: I haven been able to post more because December-January were pretty rough with family issues. Wish you all a happy weekend! Francisco

"Discuss everything Fedora" posts needs tweaks
by Ankur Sinha 13 Mar '19

13 Mar '19

Hello, I just ran into the "Discuss everything Fedora" post on the planet: https://fedoramagazine.org/discuss-everything-fedora/ I'm afraid it somewhat misrepresents the function of discussion.fp.o and needs major tweaks to clarify it. "Are you new to using Fedora, or have a question about using Fedora?" implies that it is also the right place to ask questions related to troubleshooting, but that is not the case. discussion.fp.o is for community discussion only and AskFedora is the right place where users ask questions regarding the usage/installation/upgrading/etc of Fedora. So, discussion.fp.o does not overlap with AskFedora. The post will only confuse users. (The categories on discussion.fp.o again, are not for user-end troubleshooting. They are more for development discussion of these topics.) We are migrating AskFedora from Askbot to Discourse too (invite only set up at askbeta.fedoraproject.org, tickets here: https://pagure.io/fedora-join/Fedora-Join/issues?tags=C%3A+AskFedora) (If you'd like to checkout askbeta.fp.o, please e-mail me offlist and I will send you an invite). After discussing it with mattdm and the current AskFedora staff., we agreed to have a separate instance for user-end troubleshooting to ensure that it did not hamper community discussion at discussion.fp.o Please update the post accordingly. I personally think that the post is better suited to the commblog given that discussion.fp.o is for community discussion. When we're ready to open the new AskFedora to the public (hopefully in a fortnight), we will have an announcement post on the Magazine. Sorry about this---I should've caught it earlier :(. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London

Bug in How to Build a Netboot Server PERL Code
by Gregory Lee Bartholomew 08 Mar '19

08 Mar '19

Hi Paul, I found a bug in my PERL code in part 4 of the netboot series that I wrote. In https://fedoramagazine.org/how-to-build-a-netboot-server-part-4/, the line: my @ids = (0, sort keys %{$targets}); should have been: my @ids = (0, sort {$a <=> $b} keys %{$targets}); By default, PERL's sort function sorts lexicographically, so after the 10th target, it returns (0, 1, 10, 2, 3, etc.). The added text forces the sort function to sort numerically (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.). I understand if you don't want to revise such an old post. In case you chose not to, I've CC'd the mail list so there is a chance that someone who encounters the bug can find the solution. -- Gregory Lee Bartholomew PGP Key ID: 3B67510E

Review of Start Fedora Installation from Grub
by Steven Snow 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

The article preview can be found here https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=25356&preview=true. I reviewed the article, and have some ideas about it I would like to share. First it has been some time since I have had any reason to modify grub configuration files, and my initial thought was why not use grubby to copy the default menuentry and modify it to suit. None the less I used the provided instructions until I had to try alternative methods for the installation to work. So my first point would be why not use grubby since it makes the user experience better for adding a menu entry by the virtue of being able to copy a working menuentry to make a new one with your own specified kernel and initrd? The drawback being having to modify /boot/grub2/grub.cfg which is only slightly more hazardous than using grub2-mkconfig. The second thing of note is what behavior grub2-mkconfig has on making the grub.cfg file based upon the contents of /etc/grub.d/, and what the original OS expects to be in the cfg file. So reviewing the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file is necessary to determine the various files to include in /etc/grub.d/ prior to calling grub2-mkconfig. At the least a link to here should be provided https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f29/system-administrators-guide…. Third is the networking, I used a VM of CentOS 7 to test with, and my networking was by default dhcp, which basically allowed me to drop all networking references in favour of the default behavior. I'm not certain bare metal will be the same, but I think it should. Fourth, the link provided was not working for the install.img, and I tried it repeatedly finally searching for and finding this one https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/29_RC-1.2/Server/x86_64/os/ which worked and I was able to install from the files retrieved, by using the curl instructions provided by the author for getting the vmlinuz and initrd.img, so those links worked. Finally, this article idea may be better served by splitting it into smaller bits. It is a pretty advanced topic for the normal average user. The steps I followed were - 1. Create new CentOS 7 VM with Boxes. 2. Follow instructions given in article to use curl to get vimlinuz and initrd.img. 3. Modify grub 40_custom file in /etc/grub.d/ as per directions in article, excepting networking 4. Use grub2-mkconfig to create grub.cfg. 5. Attempt install, fails repeatedly on part 2 of Anaconda installer, something regarding missing dependencies. 6. Use grubby to make menu entry then modify /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to exclude default menuentry kernel commands and options to suit article directions. 7. Find alternative download link to use. (for Anaconda part 2 of install) Modify grub.cfg to suit new link location. 8. Install F29 Server and login I will document the process I went through and share it with the author. I found using vi was tedious so installed vim-enhanced which provided a better experience. Comments? Steve
