Article on image upscaling
by Alexander Tolstoy 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

Hello, I'm currently working on the 'Upscale images with better results' article. This will be ready by the end of the week or so (I hope to mention it later today at our meeting as well). The article features 3 open source tools, of which 2 are pretty easy to build on Fedora. However, the third one, Waifu2x, turned out to be a bit tricky to get it running. Not only it requires Nvidia CUDA and depends on this vendor, it also takes time and patience to sort things out before a reader will be able to actually upscale something :) Take a look at this great how-to for Waifu2x on Centos to get the impression: http://blog.jicoman.info/2015/09/waifu2x_centos I suspect that the installation instructions are a bit too long for the magazine. Nevertheless, I'm going to try CL-Waifu2x ( https://github.com/marcan/cl-waifu2x), a similar project that seems to be easier to use. I'll let you know if I succeed with it. Thanks for your attention and have a nice day everyone! -- Alexander Tolstoy

Mentioned on Linux Unplugged
by Link Dupont 19 Aug '18

The Magazine was mentioned in episode 262[1] of the Linux Unplugged podcast. Our timely article on ftransform turned out to be a solution to a recent announcement from Dropbox about dropping support for many Linux filesystems. Pretty cool! 1: http://linuxunplugged.com/262

Article draft: lvm-raid-on-fedora
by Radka Janekova 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Hi, I skipped pitch because I had already written this on my blog, so I just pasted it in, tried to fix things and saved it straight as draft[1] So on topic of fixing things, I have my specific formatting style on my website that is incompatible with Magazine, I fixed those things to line up with the Magazine guidelines, however I wasn't sure about some parts of the text... I would appreciate any feedback you could throw my way if you feel like this could be a good article for Magazine. I was also wondering whether the current title is okay: Build your own RAID Array in Fedora using LVM. ...or maybe Building RAID 5 on Fedora using LVM Further I think that I will write a followup about recovering from failure when I have some more time again, as described in this[2] comment. OH and I've no clue what to do about featured image, ideas would be welcome... One idea from another contributor was an image of a Fedora badger throwing disks at brtfs :D [1] Draft preview: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=22196&preview=true&preview_id=22196 [1] Public preview: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=22196&preview=1&_ppp=be3c617e4e [2] Comment about possible followup: http://rhea-ayase.eu/articles/2018-08/LVM-RAID-on-Fedora#comment-4028888490 Thank you, Radka ------------------------------ *Radka Janeková* .NET Engineer, Red Hat *radka.janek(a)redhat.com <radka.janek(a)redhat.com>* IRC: radka | Freenode: Rhea

"5 applications to manage your to-do list on Fedora" post: GTG is broken and cannot be installed
by Ankur Sinha 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Hiya, Thanks for the post[1]---lots of users found it very informative. Unfortunately, GTG is broken in F28 and cannot be installed. Upstream has been inactive for 3 years so the package should've been retired before, but it slipped under my radar somehow. I've retired it now, but one cannot retire packages from stable branches, so it'll remain there until F28 goes EOL. I don't have n F27 system so I don't know if it can be installed on F27 either. Users have already been running into the error when they try to install gtg, so should anything be done about this? I've added a note to the bug summary, so others that run into the issue can be made aware[2]. Sorry about this. [1] https://fedoramagazine.org/5-tools-to-manage-your-to-do-list-on-fedora/ [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1573480 -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Timezone: Europe/London
