[magazine] Draft for Backing up series, part 1: duplicity
by Link Dupont 07 Jul '17

07 Jul '17

Hi everyone, I've got a first draft up for part 1 of the Backing up series. Please read, follow and give me feedback. There are definitely areas that can be improved. Also, I don't want to publish until all three articles are done. I need to make sure that parts two and three (duply and deja-dup, respectively) will work seamlessly with the backup created in part one. This may mean significant edits to this part one. Please provide feedback! https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=17880&preview=true&preview_id=17880 ~link

[magazine] Sorry for any spam suffering
by Paul W. Frields 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

I inadvertently "Accepted" some held spam messages instead of "Discarding" them in the list moderation queue. They've been removed from the archives (thank you Patrick!), but list subscribers probably received copies in their inboxes before that could be stopped. My humble apologies, just an exhausted wrong-button error. :-) -- Paul W.

[magazine] Short Steam article
by Stuart Brady 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Hello everyone, At this week's meeting, Paul and Ryan asked me to work on a short article about the gaming platform Steam as you can now install it as a Flatpak <http://flatpak.org> app using Flathub <http://flathub.org>. Unfortunately, I've hit a couple of problems. BTW I understand this isn't Stack Overflow and my rookie mistakes might be a little frustrating! Anyway, after I'd set up Flatpak/Flathub, I installed Steam using Gnome Software (which appears to be recommended). However, I couldn't run Steam after installation because I was missing some drivers (see screenshot). When I couldn't find the drivers on the internet, I uninstalled Steam and used these instructions <https://linuxconfig.org/installing-steam-on-fedora-25-linux> to install Steam the normal way to check if it worked. That was fine and, ironically, told me how to fix my driver problem at the same time. The problem I have now is that I can't install Steam at all using Gnome Software. The install button disappears after I click it, only to reappear a few moments later, and the download % bar doesn't appear at all. It works fine when I install Steam with Flathub at the command line, though. What I need is someone to check that they can install and run Steam using Flathub and Gnome Software. I then could write the article once I know it works, but, to be fair, I'd feel a bit of douche writing something knowing I couldn't get it to work properly myself! Apologies for the hassles, Stu Brady

[magazine] [new series] Kubernetes and Fedora
by Justin W. Flory 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

Hey all, I've been doing some work with Kubernetes lately, and thought it would be a cool idea to run a series related to Kubernetes and Fedora targeted towards beginners on the Magazine. The series starts by introducing key concepts of Kubernetes and works its way towards hands-on activities. I was hoping to make this a 3-4 part series. I have the first two articles drafted and finished, although I'm still waiting for technical feedback / review on the second. They're a little lengthy, so I wouldn't mind having another couple of folks review for style / simplicity too. === Article 1: Introduction to Kubernetes with Fedora === This first post is an introduction to what Kubernetes is and what some of the key concepts are. https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=17814&preview=1&_ppp=f2a9273120 From a technical standpoint, this one should be set, but if there's anyone on the list that could technical review, I definitely wouldn't mind another set of eyes. :) === Article 2: Clustered computing on Fedora with Minikube === This second post shows you how to build a single-node Kubernetes deployment on your own computer. https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=17823&preview=1&_ppp=414b450e7b Still waiting for a technical review on this one, but should be mostly good. I was able to follow these steps on my F25 install. = = = I haven't decided on ideas for a third or fourth article yet, but if we space these out over two weeks, I'm fairly certain I'll have an idea by then. Any feedback or comments are welcome! Thanks. -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com
