Linux 中如何打印和管理打印机
完全指南:在 Linux 中如何打印和管理打印机
======
### Linux 中的打印
虽然现在大量的沟通都是电子化和无纸化的,但是在我们的公司中还有大量的材料需要打印。银行结算单、公用事业帐单、财务和其它报告、以及收益结算单等一些东西还是需要打印的。本教程将介绍在 Linux 中如何使用 CUPS 去打印。
CUPS通用 Unix 打印系统Common UNIX Printing System的首字母缩写,它是 Linux 中的打印机和打印任务的管理者。早期计算机上的打印机一般是在特定的字符集和字体大小下打印文本文件行。现在的图形打印机可以打印各种字体和大小的文本和图形。尽管如此,现在你所使用的一些命令,在它们以前的历史上仍旧使用的是古老的行打印守护进程LPD技术。

这一小部分历史并不是 LPI 目标的,但它有助于你理解这个目标的相关环境。
早期的计算机大都使用行打印机。这些都是击打式打印机,一段时间以来,它们使用固定间距的字符和单一的字体来打印文本行。为提升整个系统性能,早期的主机都对慢速的外围设备如读卡器、卡片穿孔机、和运行其它工作的行打印进行交叉工作。因此就产生了在行上或者假脱机上的同步外围操作,这一术语目前在谈到计算机打印时仍然在使用。

在 UNIX 和 Linux 系统上,打印初始化使用的是 BSDBerkeley Software Distribution打印子系统它是由一个作为服务器运行的行打印守护程序LPD组成而客户端命令如 `lpr` 是用于提交打印作业。这个协议后来被 IETF 标准化为 RFC 1179 —— **行打印机守护协议**。

系统也有一个打印守护程序。它的功能与BSD 的 LPD 守护程序类似,但是它们的命令集不一样。你在后面会经常看到完成相同的任务使用不同选项的两个命令。例如,对于打印文件的命令,`lpr` 是伯克利实现的,而 `lp` 是 System V 实现的

随着打印机技术的进步,在一个页面上混合出现不同字体成为可能,并且可以将图片像文字一样打印。可变间距字体,以及更多先进的打印技术,比如 kerning 和 ligatures现在都已经标准化。它们对基本的 lpd/lpr 方法进行了改进设计,比如 LPRng下一代的 LPR、以及 CUPS。

许多可以打印图形的打印机,使用 Adobe PostScript 语言进行初始化。一个 PostScript 打印机有一个解释器引擎它可以解释打印任务中的命令并从这些命令中生成最终的页面。PostScript 经常被用做原始文件和打印机之间的中间层,比如一个文本文件或者一个图像文件,以及没有适合 PostScript 功能的特定打印机的最终格式。转换这些特定的打印任务,比如一个 ASCII 文本文件或者一个 JPEG 图像转换为 PostScript然后再使用过滤器转换 PostScript 到非 PostScript 打印机所需要的最终光栅格式。

### 管理打印队列
用户直接打印作业到一个名为打印队列的逻辑实体。在单用户系统中,一个打印队列和一个打印机通常是几乎相同的意思。但是CUPS 允许系统对最终在一个远程系统上的打印,并不附属打印机到一个队列打印作业上,而是通过使用类,允许将打印作业重定向到该类第一个可用的打印机上
用户直接打印作业到一个名为<ruby>打印队列<rt>print queue</rt></ruby>的逻辑实体。在单用户系统中打印队列和打印机通常是几乎相同的意思。但是CUPS 允许系统不用连接到一个打印机上,而最终在一个远程系统上的排队打印作业,并且通过使用分类,允许将定向到一个分类的打印作业在该分类第一个可用的打印机上打印
你可以检查和管理打印队列。对于 CUPS 来说,其中一些命令还是很新的。另外的一些是源于 LPD 的兼容命令,不过现在的一些选项通常是原始 LPD 打印系统选项的有限子集。

### 管理用户打印作业
现在,你已经知道了一些如何去检查打印队列和类的方法,我将给你展示如何管理打印队列上的作业。你要做的第一件事是,如何找到一个特定打印机或者全部打印机上排队的任意作业。完成上述工作要使用 `lpq` 命令。如果没有指定任何选项,`lpq` 将显示默认打印机上的队列。使用 `-P` 选项和一个打印机名字将指定打印机,或者使用 `-a` 选项去指定所有的打印机,如下面的列表 3 所示。
###### 列表 3. 使用 lpq 检查打印队列

在这个示例中,共有五个作业,它们是 4、6、7、8、和 9并且它是名为 HL-2280DW 的打印机的队列,而不是 XP-610 的。在这个示例中使用 `-P` 选项可简单地显示那个打印机已经准备好但是没有队列任务。注意CUPS 的打印机命名,大小写是不敏感的。还要注意的是,用户 ian 提交了同样的作业两次,当一个作业第一次没有打印时,经常能看到用户的这种动作。
*列表 3. 使用 lpq 检查打印队列*
一般情况下你可能查看或者维护你自己的打印作业但是root 用户或者其它授权的用户通常会去管理其它打印作业。大多数 CUPS 命令都可以使用一个 `-E` 选项,对 CUPS 服务器与客户端之间的通讯进行加密

使用 `lprm` 命令从队列中去删除 .bashrc 作业。如果不使用选项,将删除当前的作业。使用 `-` 选项,将删除全部的作业。要么就如列表 4 那样,指定一个要删除的作业列表。

注意,用户 pat 不能删除队列中的第一个作业,因为它是用户 ian 的。但是ian 可以删除他自己的 8 号作业。
另外的可以帮你操作打印队列中的作业的命令是 `lp`。使用它可以去修改作业属性,比如打印数量或者优先级。我们假设用户 ian 希望他的作业 9 在用户 pat 的作业之前打印,并且希望打印两份。作业优先级的默认值是 50它的优先级范围从最低的 1 到最高的 100 之间。用户 ian 可以使用 `-i`、`-n`、以及 `-q` 选项去指定一个要修改的作业,而新的打印数量和优先级可以如下面的列表 5 所示的那样去修改。注意,使用 `-l` 选项的 `lpq` 命令可以提供更详细的输出。

最后,`lpmove` 命令可以允许一个作业从一个队列移动到另一个队列。例如,我们可能因为打印机 HL-2280DW 现在不能使用,而想去移动一个作业到另外的队列上。你可以指定一个作业编号,比如 9或者你可以用一个队列名加一个连字符去限定它比如HL-2280DW-0。`lpmove` 命令的操作要求一个授权用户。列表 6 展示了如何去从一个队列移动作业到另外的队列,通过打印机和作业 ID 指定第一个,然后指定打印机的所有作业都移动到第二个队列。稍后我们可以去再次检查队列,其中一个作业已经在打印中了。

如果你使用的是打印服务器而不是 CUPS比如 LPD 或者 LPRng大多数的队列管理功能是由 `lpc` 命令的子命令来处理的。例如,你可以使用 `lpc topq` 去移动一个作业到队列的顶端。其它的 `lpc` 子命令包括 `disable`、`down`、`enable`、`hold`、`move`、`redirect`、`release`、和 `start`。这些子命令在 CUPS 的兼容命令中没有实现。

#### 打印文件
如何去打印创建的作业?大多数图形界面程序都提供了一个打印方法,通常是 **文件** 菜单下面的选项。这些程序为选择打印机、设置页边距、彩色或者黑白打印、打印数量、选择每张纸打印的页面数(每张纸打印两个页面,通常用于讲义)等等,都提供了图形化的工具。现在,我将为你展示如何使用命令行工具去管理这些功能,然后和图形化实现进行比较。
打印文件最简单的方法是使用 `lpr` 命令,然后提供一个文件名字。这将在默认打印机上打印这个文件。`lp` 命令不仅可以打印文件,也可以修改打印作业。列表 7 展示了使用这个命令的一个简单示例。注意,`lpr` 会静默处理这个作业,但是 `lp` 会显示处理后的作业的 ID。

###### 表 2. lpr 的选项
| 选项 | 作用 |
| -C, -J, or -T | 设置一个作业名字。 |
| -P | 选择一个指定的打印机。 |
| -# | 指定打印数量。注意它与 lp 命令的 -n 有点差别。|
| -m | 在作业完成时发送电子邮件。 |
| -l | 表示打印文件已经为打印做好格式准备。相当于 -o raw。 |

| -q | 暂缓(或排队)最后的打印作业。 |
| -r | 在文件进入打印池之后,删除文件。 |
| 选项 | 作用 |
|---|---|

### CUPS 和 CUPS 服务器
CUPS 打印系统的核心是 `cupsd` 打印服务器它是一个运行的守护进程。CUPS 配置文件一般位于 /etc/cups/cupsd.conf。/etc/cups 目录也有与 CUPS 相关的其它的配置文件。CUPS 一般在系统初始化期间启动,根据你的发行版不同,它也可能通过位于 /etc/rc.d/init.d 或者 /etc/init.d 目录中的 CUPS 脚本来控制。对于 最新使用 systemd 来初始化的系统CUPS 服务脚本可能在 /usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.service 中。和大多数使用脚本的服务一样,你可以停止、启动、或者重启守护程序。查看我们的教程:[学习 Linux101运行级别、引导目标、关闭、和重启动][4],了解使用初始化脚本的更多信息。

#### 文件转换过滤器
你可以使用 CUPS 打印许多类型的文件包括明文的文本文件、PDF、PostScript、和各种格式的图像文件你只需要提供要打印的文件名除此之外你再无需向 `lpr``lp` 命令提供更多的信息。这个神奇的壮举是通过使用过滤器来实现的。实际上,这些年来最流行的过滤器就命名为 magicfilter

如果你有打印问题,尝试下列的提示:
* 确保 CUPS 服务器正在运行。你可以使用 `lpstat` 命令,如果它不能连接到 cupsd 守护程序,它将会报告一个错误。或者,你可以使用 `ps -ef` 命令在输出中去检查是否有 cupsd。
* 如果你尝试为打印去排队一个作业,而得到一个错误信息,指示打印机不接受这个作业,你可以使用 `lpstat -a` 或者 `lpc status` 去检查那个打印机可接受的作业。
* 如果你试着排队一个打印作业而得到一个错误信息,指示打印机不接受这个作业,你可以使用 `lpstat -a` 或者 `lpc status` 去检查那个打印机是否接受作业。
* 如果一个队列中的作业没有打印,使用 `lpstat -p``lpc status` 去检查那个打印机是否接受作业。如前面所讨论的那样,你可能需要将这个作业移动到其它的打印机。
* 如果这个打印机是远程的,检查它在远程系统上是否存在,并且是可操作的。
* 检查配置文件,确保特定的用户或者远程系统允许在这个打印机上打印。
* 确保防火墙允许远程打印请求,是否允许从其它系统到你的系统,或者从你的系统到其它系统的数据包通讯。
* 验证是否有正确的驱动程序。
正如你所见,打印涉及到你的系统中的几个组件,甚至还有网络。在本教程中,基于篇幅的考虑,我们仅为诊断给你提供了几个着手点。大多数的 CUPS 系统也有实现我们所讨论的命令行功能的图形界面。一般情况下,这个界面是从本地主机使用浏览器指向 631 端口(<http://localhost:631><http://127.0.0.1:631>)来访问的,如前面的图 2 所示。

你可以通过将 CUPS 运行在前台而不是做为一个守护进程来诊断它的问题。如果有需要,你也可以通过这种方式去测试替代的配置文件。运行 `cupsd -h` 获得更多信息,或者查看 man 页面。
CUPS 也管理一个访问日志和错误日志。你可以在 cupsd.conf 中使用 LogLevel 语句来改变日志级别。默认情况下,日志是保存在 /var/log/cups 目录。它们可以在浏览器界面(<http://localhost:631>)下,从 **Administration** 选项卡中查看。使用不带任何选项的 `cupsctl` 命令可以显示日志选项。也可以编辑 cupsd.conf 或者使用 `cupsctl` 去调整各种日志参数。查看 `cupsctl` 命令的 man 页面了解更多信息。

@ -20,87 +22,62 @@
### 构建架构
要构建数据库,使用 `CREATE TABLE <表名>` 命令,然后定义每个字段的名称和数据类型。数据库使用 `VARCHAR(n)` (字符串)和 `INT(n)` (整数),其中 n 表示可以存储的值的长度。例如 `INT(2)`能是 01
要构建数据库,使用 `CREATE TABLE <表名>` 命令,然后定义每个字段的名称和数据类型。数据库使用 `VARCHAR(n)` (字符串)和 `INT(n)` (整数),其中 `n` 表示可以存储的值的长度。例如 `INT(2)`以是 `01`
这是用于创建两个表的代码:
```
CREATE TABLE dbo_students
(
  student_id INT(2) AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL,
  student_name VARCHAR(50),
  course_studied INT(2),
  PRIMARY KEY (student_id)
student_id INT(2) AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL,
student_name VARCHAR(50),
course_studied INT(2),
PRIMARY KEY (student_id)
);
CREATE TABLE dbo_courses
(
  course_id INT(2) AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL,
  course_name VARCHAR(30),
  PRIMARY KEY (course_id)
course_id INT(2) AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL,
course_name VARCHAR(30),
PRIMARY KEY (course_id)
);
```
`NOT NULL` 意味着字段不能为空,`AUTO_INCREMENT` 意味着当一个新的元组被添加时ID 号将自动生成,并将 1 添加到先前存储的 ID 号,来强化各实体之间的完整参照性。 `PRIMARY KEY` 是每个表的惟一标识符属性。这意味着每个元组都有自己的不同的标识。
`NOT NULL` 意味着字段不能为空,`AUTO_INCREMENT` 意味着当一个新的元组被添加时ID 号将自动生成,是对先前存储的 ID 号加 1以强化各实体之间的完整参照性。 `PRIMARY KEY` 是每个表的惟一标识符属性。这意味着每个元组都有自己的不同的标识。
### 关系作为一种约束
就目前来看,这两张表格是独立存在的,没有任何联系或关系。要连接它们,必须标识一个外键。在 `dbo_students` 中,外键是 `course_studied`,其来源在 `dbo_courses`意味着该字段被引用。SQL 中的特定命令为 `CONSTRAINT`,并且将使用另一个名为 `ALTER TABLE` 的命令添加这种关系,这样即使在架构构建完毕后,也可以编辑表。
以下代码将关系添加到数据库构造脚本中:
```
ALTER TABLE dbo_students
ADD CONSTRAINT FK_course_studied
FOREIGN KEY (course_studied) REFERENCES dbo_courses(course_id);
```
使用 `CONSTRAINT` 命令实际上并不是必要的,但这是一个好习惯,因为它意味着约束可以被命名并且使维护更容易。现在数据库已经完成了,是时候添加一些数据了。
### 将数据添加到数据库
`INSERT INTO <表名>`是用于直接选择将数据添加到哪些属性(即字段)的命令。首先声明实体名称,然后声明属性。命令下边是添加到实体的数据,从而创建一个元组。如果指定了 `NOT NULL`,这表示该属性不能留空。以下代码将展示如何向表中添加记录:

5 steps to building a cloud that meets your users' needs
======
![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/image-full-size/public/lead-images/rh_003601_05_mech_osyearbook2016_cloud_cc.png?itok=XSV7yR9e)
This article was co-written with [Ian Tewksbury][1].
However you define it, a cloud is simply another tool for your users to perform their part of your organization's value stream. It can be easy when talking about any new paradigm or technology (the cloud is arguably both) to get distracted by the shiny newness of it. Conversations can quickly devolve into feature wish lists set off by a series of never-ending questions, all of which you probably have already considered:
* Will it be public, private, or hybrid?
* Will it use virtual machines or containers, or both?
* Will it be self-service?
* Will it be fully automated from development to production, or will it have manual gates?
* How fast can we make it?
* What about tool X, Y, or Z?
The list goes on.
The usual approach to beginning IT modernization, or digital transformation, or whatever you call it is to start answering high-level questions in the higher-level echelons of management. The outcome of this approach is predictable: failure. After extensively researching and spending months, if not years, deploying the fanciest new technology, the new cloud is never used and falls into disrepair until it is eventually scrapped or forgotten in the dustier corners of the datacenter and budget.
That's because whatever was delivered was not the tool the users wanted or needed. Worse yet, it likely was a single tool when users really needed a collection of tools that could be swapped out over time as newer, shinier, upgraded tools come along that better meet their needs.
### Focus on what matters
The problem is focus, which has traditionally been on the tools. But the tools are not what add to your organization's value stream; end users making use of tools are what do that. You need to shift your focus from building your cloud—for example, the technology and the tools, to your people, your users.
Beyond the fact that users using tools (not the tools themselves) are what drive value, there are other reasons to focus attention on the users. The tools are for the users to use to solve their problems and allow them to create value, so it follows that if those tools don't meet those users' needs, then those tools won't be used. If you deliver tools that your users don't like, they won't use them. This is natural human behavior.
The IT industry got away with providing a single solution to users for decades because there were only one or two options, and the users had no power to change that. That is no longer the case. We now live in the world of technological choice. It is no longer acceptable to users to not be given a choice; they have choices in their personal technological lives, and they expect it in the workplace, too. Today's users are educated and know there are better options than the ones you've been providing.
As a result, outside the most physically secure locations, there is no way to stop them from just doing what they want, which we call "shadow IT." If your organization has such strict security and compliance polices that shadow IT is impossible, many of your best people will grow frustrated and leave for other organizations that offer them choices.
For all of these reasons, you must design your expensive and time-consuming cloud project with your end user foremost in mind.
### Five-step process to build a cloud for users' needs
Now that we know the why, let's talk about the how. How do you build a cloud for the end user? How do you start refocusing your attention from the technology to the people using that technology?
Through experience, we've learned that the best approach involves two things: getting constant feedback from your users, and building things iteratively.
Your cloud environment will continually evolve with your organization. The following five-step process will help you create a cloud that meets your users' needs.
#### 1\. Identify who your users will be.
Before you can start asking users questions, you first must identify who the users of your new cloud will be. They will likely include developers who build applications on the cloud; the operations team who will operate, maintain, and likely build the cloud; and the security team who protects your organization. For the first iteration, scope down your users to a smaller group so you're less overwhelmed by feedback. Ask each of your identified user groups to appoint two liaisons (a primary and a secondary) who will represent their team on this journey. This will also keep your first delivery small in both size and time.
#### 2\. Talk to your users face-to-face to get valuable input.
The best way to get users' feedback is through direct communication. Mass emails asking for input will self-select respondents—if you even get a response. Group discussions can be helpful, but people tend to be more candid when they have a private, attentive audience.
Schedule in-person, individual meetings with your first set of users to ask them questions like the following:
* What do you need in order to accomplish your tasks?
* What do you want in order to accomplish your tasks?
* What is your current, most annoying technological pain?
* What is your current, most annoying policy or procedural pain?
* What ideas do you have to address any of your needs, wants, or pains?
These questions are guidelines and not ideal for every organization. They should not be the only questions you ask, and they should lead to further discussion. Be sure to tell people that anything said or asked is taken as feedback, and all feedback is helpful, whether positive or negative. The outcome of these conversations will help set your development priorities.
Gathering this level of personalized feedback is another reason to keep your initial group of users small: It takes a lot of time to sit down with each user, but we have found it is absolutely worth the investment.
#### 3\. Design and deliver your first iteration of the solution.
Once you've collected feedback from your initial users, it is time to design and deliver a piece of functionality. We do not recommend trying to deliver the entire solution. The design and delivery phase should be short; this is to avoid making the huge mistake of spending a year building what you think is the correct solution, only to have your users reject it because it isn't beneficial to them. The specific tools you choose for building your cloud will depend on your organization and its specific needs. Just make sure that the solution you build is based on your users' feedback and that you deliver it in small chunks to solicit feedback from them as often as possible.
#### 4\. Ask users for feedback on the first iteration.
Great, now you've designed and delivered the first iteration of your fancy new cloud to your end users! You didn't spend a year doing it but instead tackled it in small pieces. Why is it important to do things in small chunks? It's because you're going back to your user groups and collecting feedback about your design and delivery. What do they like? What don't they like? Did you properly address their concerns? Is the technology great, but the process or policy side of the system still lacking?
Again, the questions you'll ask depend on your organization; the key here is to continue the discussions from the earlier phases. You're building this cloud for users after all, so make sure it's useful for them and a productive use of everyone's time.
#### 5\. Return to step 1.
This is an iterative process. Your first delivery should have been quick and small, and all future iterations should be, too. Don't expect to be able to follow this process once, twice, or even three times and be done. As you iterate, you will introduce more users and get better at the process. You will get more buy-in from users. You will be able to iterate faster and more reliably. And, finally, you will change your process to meet your users' needs.
Users are the most important part of this process, but the iteration is the second most important part because it allows you to keep going back to the users and getting more information. Throughout each phase, take note of what worked and what didn't. Be introspective and honest with yourself. Are we providing the most value possible for the time we spent? If not, try something different in the next phase. The great part about not spending too much time in each cycle is that, if something doesn't work this time, you can easily tweak it for next time, until you find an approach that works for your organization.
### This is just the beginning
Through many customer engagements, feedback gathered from users, and experiences from peers in the field, we've found time and time again that the most important thing you can do when building a cloud is to talk to your users. It seems obvious, but it is surprising how many organizations will go off and build something for months or years, then find out it isn't even useful to end users.
Now you know why you should keep your focus on the end users and have a process for building a cloud with them at the center. The remaining piece is the part that we all enjoy, the part where you go out and do it.
This article is based on "[Design your hybrid cloud for the end user—or fail][2]," a talk the authors will be giving at [Red Hat Summit 2018][3], which will be held May 8-10 in San Francisco.

Microservices Explained
======
![](https://www.linux.com/sites/lcom/files/styles/rendered_file/public/cloud-microservices.jpg?itok=GpoWiDeG)
Microservices is not a new term. Like containers, the concept been around for a while, but its become a buzzword recently as many companies embark on their cloud native journey. But, what exactly does the term microservices mean? Who should care about it? In this article, well take a deep dive into the microservices architecture.
### Evolution of microservices
Patrick Chanezon, Chief Developer Advocate for Docker provided a brief history lesson during our conversation: In the late 1990s, developers started to structure their applications into monoliths where massive apps hadall features and functionalities baked into them. Monoliths were easy to write and manage. Companies could have a team of developers who built their applications based on customer feedback through sales and marketing teams. The entire developer team would work together to build tightly glued pieces as an app that can be run on their own app servers. It was a popular way of writing and delivering web applications.
There is a flip side to the monolithic coin. Monoliths slow everything and everyone down. Its not easy to update one service or feature of the application. The entire app needs to be updated and a new version released. It takes time. There is a direct impact on businesses. Organizations could not respond quickly to keep up with new trends and changing market dynamics. Additionally, scalability was challenging.
Around 2011, SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) became popular where developers could cram multi-tier web applications as software services inside a VM (virtual machine). It did allow them to add or update services independent of each other. However, scalability still remained a problem.
“The scale out strategy then was to deploy multiple copies of the virtual machine behind a load balancer. The problems with this model are several. Your services can not scale or be upgraded independently as the VM is your lowest granularity for scale. VMs are bulky as they carry extra weight of an operating system, so you need to be careful about simply deploying multiple copies of VMs for scaling,” said Madhura Maskasky, co-founder and VP of Product at Platform9.
Some five years ago when Docker hit the scene and containers became popular, SOA faded out in favor of “microservices” architecture. “Containers and microservices fix a lot of these problems. Containers enable deployment of microservices that are focused and independent, as containers are lightweight. The Microservices paradigm, combined with a powerful framework with native support for the paradigm, enables easy deployment of independent services as one or more containers as well as easy scale out and upgrade of these,” said Maskasky.
### Whats are microservices?
Basically, a microservice architecture is a way of structuring applications. With the rise of containers, people have started to break monoliths into microservices. “The idea is that you are building your application as a set of loosely coupled services that can be updated and scaled separately under the container infrastructure,” said Chanezon.
“Microservices seem to have evolved from the more strictly defined service-oriented architecture (SOA), which in turn can be seen as an expression object oriented programming concepts for networked applications. Some would call it just a rebranding of SOA, but the term “microservices” often implies the use of even smaller functional components than SOA, RESTful APIs exchanging JSON, lighter-weight servers (often containerized, and modern web technologies and protocols,” said Troy Topnik, SUSE Senior Product Manager, Cloud Application Platform.
Microservices provides a way to scale development and delivery of large, complex applications by breaking them down that allows the individual components to evolve independently from each other.
“Microservices architecture brings more flexibility through the independence of services, enabling organizations to become more agile in how they deliver new business capabilities or respond to changing market conditions. Microservices allows for using the right tool for the right task, meaning that apps can be developed and delivered by the technology that will be best for the task, rather than being locked into a single technology, runtime or framework,” said Christian Posta, senior principal application platform specialist, Red Hat.
### Who consumes microservices?
“The main consumers of microservices architecture patterns are developers and application architects,” said Topnik. As far as admins and DevOps engineers are concerned their role is to build and maintain the infrastructure and processes that support microservices.
“Developers have been building their applications traditionally using various design patterns for efficient scale out, high availability and lifecycle management of their applications. Microservices done along with the right orchestration framework help simplify their lives by providing a lot of these features out of the box. A well-designed application built using microservices will showcase its benefits to the customers by being easy to scale, upgrade, debug, but without exposing the end customer to complex details of the microservices architecture,” said Maskasky.
### Who needs microservices?
Everyone. Microservices is the modern approach to writing and deploying applications more efficiently. If an organization cares about being able to write and deploy its services at a faster rate they should care about it. If you want to stay ahead of your competitors, microservices is the fastest route. Security is another major benefit of the microservices architecture, as this approach allows developers to keep up with security and bug fixes, without having to worry about downtime.
“Application developers have always known that they should build their applications in a modular and flexible way, but now that enough of them are actually doing this, those that dont risk being left behind by their competitors,” said Topnik.
If you are building a new application, you should design it as microservices. You never have to hold up a release if one team is late. New functionalities are available when they're ready, and the overall system never breaks.
“We see customers using this as an opportunity to also fix other problems around their application deployment -- such as end-to-end security, better observability, deployment and upgrade issues,” said Maskasky.
Failing to do so means you would be stuck in the traditional stack, which means microservices wont be able to add any value to it. If you are building new applications, microservices is the way to go.

How to add fonts to Fedora
===================
![](https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/install-fonts-1024x433.jpg)
Fonts help you express your thoughts in creative ways through design. Whether youre captioning an image, building a presentation, or designing a greeting or advertisement, fonts can boost your idea to the next level. Its easy to fall in love with them just for their own aesthetic qualities. Fortunately, Fedora makes installation easy. Heres how to do it.
### System-wide installation
If you install a font system-wide, it becomes available to all users. The best way to take advantage of this method is by using RPM packages from the official software repositories.
To get started, open the  _Software_  tool in your Fedora Workstation, or other tool that uses the official repositories. Choose the  _Add-ons_  category in the group of banners shown. Then in the add-on categories, select  _Fonts._  Youll see a list of available fonts similar to this screenshot:
[![](https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Software-fonts-1024x768.png)][1]
When you select a font, some details appear. Depending on several conditions, you may be able to preview how the font looks with some example text. Select the  _Install_ button to add it to your system. It may take a few moments for the process to complete, based on your system speed and network bandwidth.
You can also remove previously installed font packages, shown with a check mark, with the  _Remove_  button shown in the font details.
### Personal installation
This method works better if you have a font youve downloaded in a compatible format:  _.ttf_ ,  _otf_ ,  _.ttc_ ,  _.pfa_ ,  _.pfb_  or . _pcf._  These font extensions shouldnt be installed system-wide by dropping them into a system folder. Non-packaged fonts of this type cant be updated automatically. They also can potentially interfere with some software operations later. The best way to install these fonts is in your own personal data directory.
Open the  _Files_  application in your Fedora Workstation, or a similar file manager app of your choice. If youre using  _Files_ , you may need to use the  _Ctrl+H_  key combination to show hidden files and folders. Look for the  _.fonts_  folder and open it. If you dont have a  _.fonts_  folder, create it. (Remember the leading dot and to use all lowercase.)
Copy the font file youve downloaded to your  _.fonts_  folder. You can close the file manager at this point. Open a terminal and type the following command:
```
fc-cache
```
This will rebuild font caches that help Fedora locate and reference the fonts it can use. You may also need to restart an application such as Inkscape or LibreOffice in which you want to use the new font. Once you restart, the new font should be available.

Reliable IoT event logging with syslog-ng
======
![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/image-full-size/public/lead-images/openwires_fromRHT_520_0612LL.png?itok=PqZi55Ab)
For any device connected to the internet or a network, it's essential that you log events so you know what the device is doing and can address any potential problems. Increasingly those devices include Internet of Things (IoT) devices and embedded systems.
One monitoring tool to consider is the open source [syslog-ng][1] application, an enhanced logging daemon with a focus on portability and central log collection. It collects logs from many different sources, processes and filters them, and stores or routes them for further analysis. Most of syslog-ng is written in efficient and highly portable C code. It's suitable for a wide range of scenarios, whether you need something simple enough to run with a really small footprint on underpowered devices or a solution powerful enough to reside in your data center and collect logs from tens of thousands of devices.
You probably noticed the abundance of buzzwords I wrote in that single paragraph. To clarify what this all means, let's go over them, but this time slower and in more depth.
### Logging
First things first. Logging is the recording of events on a computer. On a typical Linux machine, you can find these log messages in the `/var/log` directory. For example, if you log into your machine through SSH, you will find a message similar to this in one of the files:
`Jan 14 11:38:48 ``linux``-0jbu sshd[7716]: Accepted ``publickey`` for root from 127.0.0.1 port 48806 ssh2`
It could be about your CPU running too hot, a document downloaded through HTTP, or just about anything one of your applications considers important.
### syslog-ng
As I wrote above, the syslog-ng application is an enhanced logging daemon with a focus on portability and central log collection. Daemon means syslog-ng is an application running continuously in the background; in this case, it's collecting log messages.
While Linux testing for many of today's applications is limited to x86_64 machines, syslog-ng also works on many BSD and commercial UNIX variants. What is even more important from the embedded/IoT standpoint is that it runs on many different CPU architectures, including 32- and 64-bit ARM, PowerPC, MIPS, and more. (Sometimes I learn about new architectures just by reading about how syslog-ng is used.)
Why is central collection of logs such a big deal? One reason is ease of use, as it creates a single place to check instead of tens or thousands of devices. Another reason is availability—you can check a device's log messages even if the device is unavailable for any reason. A third reason is security; when your device is hacked, checking the logs can uncover traces of the hack.
### Four roles of syslog-ng
Syslog-ng has four major roles: collecting, processing, filtering, and storing log messages.
**Collecting messages:** syslog-ng can collect from a wide variety of [platform-specific sources][2], like `/dev/log`, `journal`, or `sun-streams`. As a central log collector, it speaks both the legacy (`rfc3164`) and the new (`rfc5424`) syslog protocols and all their variants over User Datagram Protocol (UDP), TCP, and encrypted connections. You can also collect log messages (or any kind of text data) from pipes, sockets, files, and even application output.
**Processing log messages:** The possibilities here are almost endless. You can classify, normalize, and structure log messages with built-in parsers. You can even write your own parser in Python if none of the available parsers suits your needs. You can also enrich messages with geolocation data or additional fields based on the message content. Log messages can be reformatted to suit the requirements of the application processing the logs. You can also rewrite log messages—not to falsify messages, of course—for things such as anonymizing log messages as required by many compliance regulations.
**Filtering logs:** There are two main uses for filtering logs: To discard surplus log messages—like debug-level messages—to save on storage, and for log routing—making sure the right logs reach the right destinations. An example of the latter is forwarding all authentication-related messages to a security information and event management (SIEM) system.
**Storing messages:** Traditionally, files were saved locally or sent to a central syslog server; either way, they'd be sent to [flat files][3]. Over the years, syslog-ng began supporting SQL databases, and in the past few years Big Data destinations, including HDFS, Kafka, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch, were added to syslog-ng.
### Message formats
When you look at your log messages under the `/var/log` directory, you will see (like in the SSH message above) most are in the form:
`date + host name + application name + an almost complete English sentence`
Where each application event is described by a different sentence, creating a report based on this data is quite a painful job.
The solution to this mess is to use structured logging. In this case, events are represented as name-value pairs instead of freeform log messages. For example, an SSH login can be described by the application name, source IP address, username, authentication method, and so on.
You can take a structured approach for your log messages right from the beginning. When working with legacy log messages, you can use the different parsers in syslog-ng to turn unstructured (and some of the structured) message formats into name-value pairs. Once you have your logs available as name-value pairs, reporting, alerting, and simply finding the information you are looking for becomes a lot easier.
### Logging IoT
Let's start with a tricky question: Which version of syslog-ng is the most popular? Before you answer, consider these facts: The project started 20 years ago, Red Hat Enterprise Linux EPEL has version 3.5, and the current version is 3.14. When I ask this question during my presentations, the audience members usually suggest the one in their favorite Linux distribution. Surprisingly, the correct answer is version 1.6, almost 15 years old. That's because it is the version included in the Amazon Kindle e-book readers, so it's running on over 100 million devices worldwide. Another example of a consumer device running syslog-ng is the BMW i3 all-electric car.
The Kindle uses syslog-ng to collect all possible information about what the user is doing on the device. On the BMW, syslog-ng does very complex, content-based filtering of log messages, and most it likely records only the most important logs.
Networking and storage are other categories of devices that often use syslog-ng. Networking and storage are other categories of devices that often use syslog-ng. Some better known examples are the Turris Omnia open source Linux router and Synology NAS devices. In most cases, syslog-ng started out as a logging client on these devices, but in some cases it's evolved into a central logging server with a rich web interface.
You can find syslog-ng in industrial devices, as well. It runs on all real-time Linux devices from National Instruments doing measurements and automation. It is also used to collect logs from customer-developed applications. Configuration is done from the command line, but a nice GUI is available to browse the logs.
Finally, there are some large-scale projects, such as cars and airplanes, where syslog-ng runs on both the client and server side. The common theme here is that syslog-ng collects all log and metrics data, sends it to a central cluster of servers where logs are processed, and saves it to one of the supported Big Data destinations where it waits for further analysis.
### Overall benefits for IoT
There are several benefits of using syslog-ng in an IoT environment. First, it delivers high performance and reliable log collection. It also simplifies the architecture, as system and application logs and metrics data can be collected together. Third, it makes it easier to use data, as data is parsed and presented in a ready-to-use format. Finally, efficient routing and filtering by syslog-ng can significantly decrease processing load.

12 Best GTK Themes for Ubuntu and other Linux Distributions
======
**Brief: Lets have a look at some of the beautiful GTK themes that you can use not only in Ubuntu but other Linux distributions that use GNOME.**
For those of us that use Ubuntu proper, the move from Unity to Gnome as the default desktop environment has made theming and customizing easier than ever. Gnome has a fairly large tweaking community, and there is no shortage of fantastic GTK themes for users to choose from. With that in mind, I went ahead and found some of my favorite themes that I have come across in recent months. These are what I believe offer some of the best experiences that you can find.
### Best themes for Ubuntu and other Linux distributions
This is not an exhaustive list and may exclude some of the themes you already use and love, but hopefully, you find at least one theme that you enjoy that you did not already know about. All themes present should work on any Gnome 3 setup, Ubuntu or not. I lost some screenshots so I have taken images from the official websites.
The themes listed here are in no particular order.
But before you see the best GNOME themes, you should learn [how to install themes in Ubuntu GNOME][1].
#### 1\. Arc-Ambiance
![][2]
Arc and Arc variant themes have been around for quite some time now, and are widely regarded as some of the best themes you can find. In this example, I have selected Arc-Ambiance because of its modern take on the default Ambiance theme in Ubuntu.
I am a fan of both the Arc theme and the default Ambiance theme, so needless to say, I was pumped when I came across a theme that merged the best of both worlds. If you are a fan of the arc themes but not a fan of this one in particular, Gnome look has plenty of other options that will most certainly suit your taste.
[Arc-Ambiance Theme][3]
#### 2\. Adapta Colorpack
![][4]
The Adapta theme has been one of my favorite flat themes I have ever found. Like Arc, Adapata is widely adopted by many-a-linux user. I have selected this color pack because in one download you have several options to choose from. In fact, there are 19 to choose from. Yep. You read that correctly. 19!
So, if you are a fan of the flat/material design language that we see a lot of today, then there is most likely a variant in this theme pack that will satisfy you.
[Adapta Colorpack Theme][5]
#### 3\. Numix Collection
![][6]
Ah, Numix! Oh, the years we have spent together! For those of us that have been theming our DE for the last couple of years, you must have come across the Numix themes or icon packs at some point in time. Numix was probably the first modern theme for Linux that I fell in love with, and I am still in love with it today. And after all these years, it still hasnt lost its charm.
The gray tone throughout the theme, especially with the default pinkish-red highlight color, makes for a genuinely clean and complete experience. You would be hard pressed to find a theme pack as polished as Numix. And in this offering, you have plenty of options to choose from, so go crazy!
[Numix Collection Theme][7]
#### 4\. Hooli
![][8]
Hooli is a theme that has been out for some time now, but only recently came across my radar. I am a fan of most flat themes but have usually strayed away from themes that come to close to the material design language. Hooli, like Adapta, takes notes from that design language, but does it in a way that I think sets it apart from the rest. The green highlight color is one of my favorite parts about the theme, and it does a good job at not overpowering the entire theme.
[Hooli Theme][9]
#### 5\. Arrongin/Telinkrin
![][10]
Bonus: Two themes in one! And they are relatively new contenders in the theming realm. They both take notes from Ubuntus soon to be finished “[communitheme][11]” and bring it to your desktop today. The only real difference I can find between the offerings are the colors. Arrongin is centered around an Ubuntu-esq orange color, while Telinkrin uses a slightly more KDE Breeze-esq blue. I personally prefer the blue, but both are great options!
[Arrongin/Telinkrin Themes][12]
#### 6\. Gnome-osx
![][13]
I have to admit, usually, when I see that a theme has “osx” or something similar in the title, I dont expect much. Most Apple inspired themes seem to have so much in common that I cant really find a reason to use them. There are two themes I can think of that break this mold: the Arc-osc them and the Gnome-osx theme that we have here.
The reason I like the Gnome-osx theme is because it truly does look at home on the Gnome desktop. It does a great job at blending into the DE without being too flat. So for those of you that enjoy a slightly less flat theme, and you like the red, yellow, and green button scheme for the close, minimize, and maximize buttons, than this theme is perfect for you.
[Gnome-osx Theme][14]
#### 7\. Ultimate Maia
![][15]
There was a time when I used Manjaro Gnome. Since then I have reverted back to Ubuntu, but one thing I wish I could have brought with me was the Manjaro theme. If you feel the same about the Manjaro theme as I do, then you are in luck because you can bring it to ANY distro you want that is running Gnome!
The rich green color, the Breeze-esq close, minimize, maximize buttons, and the over-all polish of the theme makes for one compelling option. It even offers some other color variants of you are not a fan of the green. But lets be honest…who isnt a fan of that Manjaro green color?
[Ultimate Maia Theme][16]
#### 8\. Vimix
![][17]
This was a theme I easily got excited about. It is modern, pulls from the macOS red, yellow, green buttons without directly copying them, and tones down the vibrancy of the theme, making for one unique alternative to most other themes. It comes with three dark variants and several colors to choose from so most of us will find something we like.
[Vimix Theme][18]
#### 9\. Ant
![][19]
Like Vimix, Ant pulls inspiration from macOS for the button colors without directly copying the style. Where Vimix tones down the color options, Ant adds a richness to the colors that looks fantastic on my System 76 Galago Pro screen. The variation between the three theme options is pretty dramatic, and though it may not be to everyones taste, it is most certainly to mine.
[Ant Theme][20]
#### 10\. Flat Remix
![][21]
If you havent noticed by this point, I am a sucker for someone who pays attention to the details in the close, minimize, maximize buttons. The color theme that Flat Remix uses is one I have not seen anywhere else, with a red, blue, and orange color way. Add that on top of a theme that looks almost like a mix between Arc and Adapta, and you have Flat Remix.
I am personally a fan of the dark option, but the light alternative is very nice as well. So if you like subtle transparencies, a cohesive dark theme, and a touch of color here and there, Flat Remix is for you.
[Flat Remix Theme][22]
#### 11\. Paper
![][23]
[Paper][24] has been around for some time now. I remember using it for the first back in 2014. I would say, at this point, Paper is more known for its icon pack than for its GTK theme, but that doesnt mean that the theme isnt a wonderful option in and of its self. Even though I adored the Paper icons from the beginning, I cant say that I was a huge fan of the Paper theme when I first tried it out.
I felt like the bright colors and fun approach to a theme made for an “immature” experience. Now, years later, Paper has grown on me, to say the least, and the light hearted approach that the theme takes is one I greatly appreciate.
[Paper Theme][25]
#### 12\. Pop
![][26]
Pop is one of the newer offerings on this list. Created by the folks over at [System 76][27], the Pop GTK theme is a fork of the Adapta theme listed earlier and comes with a matching icon pack, which is a fork of the previously mentioned Paper icon pack.
The theme was released soon after System 76 announced that they were releasing [their own distribution,][28] Pop!_OS. You can read my [Pop!_OS review][29] to know more about it. Needless to say, I think Pop is a fantastic theme with a superb amount of polish and offers a fresh feel to any Gnome desktop.
[Pop Theme][30]
#### Conclusion
Obviously, there way more themes to choose from than we could feature in one article, but these are some of the most complete and polished themes I have used in recent months. If you think we missed any that you really like or you just really dislike one that I featured above, then feel free to let me know in the comment section below and share why you think your favorite themes are better!

A Kernel Module That Forcibly Shutdown Your System
======
![](https://www.ostechnix.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/kgotobed-720x340.png)
I know that staying up late is bad for the health. But, who cares? I have been a night owl for years. I usually go to bed after 12 am, sometimes after 1 am. The next morning, I snooze my alarm at least three times, wake up tired and grumpy. Everyday, I promise myself I will go to bed earlier, but ended up going to bed very late as usual. And, this cycle continues! If youre anything like me, here is a good news. A fellow late nighter has developed a Kernel module named **“Kgotobed”** that forces you to go to bed at a specific time. That said it will forcibly shutdown your system.
Why should I use this? I have plenty of other options. I can set a cron job to schedule system shutdown at a specific time. I can set up a reminder or alarm clock. I can use a browser plugin or a software. You might ask! However, they all are can easily be ignored or bypassed. Kgotobed is something that you cant ignore. Something that **cant be disabled even if youre a root user**. Yes, it will forcibly power off your system at the specified time. There is no snooze option. You cant postpone the power off process or you cant cancel it either. Your system will go down at the specified time no matter what. You have been warned!!
### Install Kgotobed
Make sure you have installed **dkms**. It is available in the default repositories of most Linux distributions.
For example on Fedora, you can install it using the following command:
```
$ sudo dnf install kernel-devel-$(uname -r) dkms
```
On Debian, Ubuntu, linux Mint:
```
$ sudo apt install dkms
```
Once installed the prerequisites, git clone Kgotobed project.
```
$ git clone https://github.com/nikital/kgotobed.git
```
This command will clone all contents of Kgotobed repository in a folder named “kgotobed” in your current working directory. Cd to that directory:
```
$ cd kgotobed/
```
And, install Kgotobed driver using command:
```
$ sudo make install
```
The above command will register **kgotobed.ko** module with **DKMS** (so that it will be rebuilt for every kernel you run) and Install **gotobed** utility in **/usr/local/bin/** location and then register, enable and start kgotobed service.
### How it works
By default, Kgotobed sets bedtime to **1:00 AM**. That said, your computer will shutdown at 1:00 AM no matter what youre doing.
To view the current bed time, run:
```
$ gotobed
Current bedtime is 2018-04-10 01:00:00
```
To move the bed time earlier, for example 22:00 (10 PM), run:
```
$ sudo gotobed 22:00
[sudo] password for sk:
Current bedtime is 2018-04-10 00:58:00
Setting bedtime to 2018-04-09 22:00:00
Bedtime will be in 2 hours 16 minutes
```
This can be helpful when you want to sleep earlier!
However, you cant move the bed time later i.e after 1:00 AM. You cant unload the module, and adjusting system clock wont help either. The only way out is a reboot!!
To set different default time, you need to customize **kgotobed.service** (by editing it or by using systemd drop-in).
### Uninstall Kgotobed
Not happy with Kgotobed? No worries! Go to the “kgotobed” folder which we cloned earlier and run the following command to uninstall it.
```
$ sudo make uninstall
```
Again, I warn you there is no way to snooze, postpone, or cancel the power off process, even if youre a root user. Your system will go down forcibly at the specified time. This is not for everyone! It may drive you nuts when youre working on an important task. In such cases, make sure you have saved the work from time to time or use some advanced utilities that help you to auto shutdown, reboot, suspend, and hibernate your system at a specific time as described in the following link.
And, thats for now. Hope you find this guide useful. More good stuffs to come. Stay tuned!
Cheers!

How to create LaTeX documents with Emacs
======
![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/image-full-size/public/lead-images/email_paper_envelope_document.png?itok=uPj_kouJ)
In his excellent article, [An introduction to creating documents in LaTeX][1], author [Aaron Cocker][2] introduces the [LaTeX typesetting system][3] and explains how to create a LaTeX document using [TeXstudio][4]. He also lists a few LaTeX editors that many users find helpful in creating LaTeX documents.
This comment on the article by [Greg Pittman][5] caught my attention: "LaTeX seems like an awful lot of typing when you first start...". This is true. LaTeX involves a lot of typing and debugging, if you missed a special character like an exclamation mark, which can discourage many users, especially beginners. In this article, I will introduce you to [GNU Emacs][6] and describe how to use it to create LaTeX documents.
### Creating your first document
Launch Emacs by typing:
```
emacs -q --no-splash helloworld.org
```
The `-q` flag ensures that no Emacs initializations will load. The `--no-splash-screen` flag prevents splash screens to ensure that only one window is open, with the file `helloworld.org`.
![Emacs startup screen][8]
GNU Emacs with the helloworld.org file opened in a buffer window
Let's add some LaTeX headers the Emacs way: Go to **Org** in the menu bar and select **Export/Publish**.
![template_flow.png][10]
Inserting a default template
In the next window, Emacs offers options to either export or insert a template. Insert the template by entering **#** ([#] Insert template). This will move a cursor to a mini-buffer, where the prompt reads **Options category:**. At this time you may not know the category names; press Tab to see possible completions. Type "default" and press Enter. The following content will be inserted:
```
#+TITLE: helloworld
#+DATE: <2018-03-12 Mon>
#+AUTHOR:
#+EMAIL: makerpm@nubia
#+OPTIONS: ':nil *:t -:t ::t <:t H:3 \n:nil ^:t arch:headline
#+OPTIONS: author:t c:nil creator:comment d:(not "LOGBOOK") date:t
#+OPTIONS: e:t email:nil f:t inline:t num:t p:nil pri:nil stat:t
#+OPTIONS: tags:t tasks:t tex:t timestamp:t toc:t todo:t |:t
#+CREATOR: Emacs 25.3.1 (Org mode 8.2.10)
#+DESCRIPTION:
#+EXCLUDE_TAGS: noexport
#+KEYWORDS:
#+LANGUAGE: en
#+SELECT_TAGS: export
```
Change the title, date, author, and email as you wish. Mine looks like this:
```
#+TITLE: Hello World! My first LaTeX document
#+DATE: \today
#+AUTHOR: Sachin Patil
#+EMAIL: psachin@redhat.com
```
We don't want to create a Table of Contents yet, so change the value of `toc` from `t` to `nil` inline, as shown below:
```
#+OPTIONS: tags:t tasks:t tex:t timestamp:t toc:nil todo:t |:t
```
Let's add a section and paragraphs. A section starts with an asterisk (*). We'll copy the content of some paragraphs from Aaron's post (from the [Lipsum Lorem Ipsum generator][11]):
```
* Introduction
  \paragraph{}
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cras lorem
  nisi, tincidunt tempus sem nec, elementum feugiat ipsum. Nulla in
  diam libero. Nunc tristique ex a nibh egestas sollicitudin.
  \paragraph{}
  Mauris efficitur vitae ex id egestas. Vestibulum ligula felis,
  pulvinar a posuere id, luctus vitae leo. Sed ac imperdiet orci, non
  elementum leo. Nullam molestie congue placerat. Phasellus tempor et
  libero maximus commodo.
```
![helloworld_file.png][13]
The helloworld.org file
With the content in place, we'll export the content as a PDF. Select **Export/Publish** from the **Org** menu again, but this time, type **l** (export to LaTeX), followed by **o** (as PDF file and open). This not only opens PDF file for you to view, but also saves the file as `helloworld.pdf` in the same path as `helloworld.org`.
![org_to_pdf.png][15]
Exporting helloworld.org to helloworld.pdf
![org_and_pdf_file.png][17]
Opening the helloworld.pdf file
You can also export org to PDF by pressing `Alt + x`, then typing "org-latex-export-to-pdf". Use Tab to auto-complete.
Emacs also creates the `helloworld.tex` file to give you control over the content.
![org_tex_pdf.png][19]
Emacs with LaTeX, org, and PDF files open in three different windows
You can compile the `.tex` file to `.pdf` using the command:
```
pdflatex helloworld.tex
```
You can also export the `.org` file to HTML or as a simple text file. What I like about .org files is they can be pushed to [GitHub][20], where they are rendered just like any other markdown formats.
### Creating a LaTeX Beamer presentation
Let's go a step further and create a LaTeX [Beamer][21] presentation using the same file with some modifications as shown below:
```
#+TITLE: LaTeX Beamer presentation
#+DATE: \today
#+AUTHOR: Sachin Patil
#+EMAIL: psachin@redhat.com
#+OPTIONS: ':nil *:t -:t ::t <:t H:3 \n:nil ^:t arch:headline
#+OPTIONS: author:t c:nil creator:comment d:(not "LOGBOOK") date:t
#+OPTIONS: e:t email:nil f:t inline:t num:t p:nil pri:nil stat:t
#+OPTIONS: tags:t tasks:t tex:t timestamp:t toc:nil todo:t |:t
#+CREATOR: Emacs 25.3.1 (Org mode 8.2.10)
#+DESCRIPTION:
#+EXCLUDE_TAGS: noexport
#+KEYWORDS:
#+LANGUAGE: en
#+SELECT_TAGS: export
#+LATEX_CLASS: beamer
#+BEAMER_THEME: Frankfurt
#+BEAMER_INNER_THEME: rounded
* Introduction
*** Programming
    - Python
    - Ruby
*** Paragraph one
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing
    elit. Cras lorem nisi, tincidunt tempus sem nec, elementum feugiat
    ipsum. Nulla in diam libero. Nunc tristique ex a nibh egestas
    sollicitudin.
*** Paragraph two
    Mauris efficitur vitae ex id egestas. Vestibulum
    ligula felis, pulvinar a posuere id, luctus vitae leo. Sed ac
    imperdiet orci, non elementum leo. Nullam molestie congue
    placerat. Phasellus tempor et libero maximus commodo.
* Thanks
*** Links
    - Link one
    - Link two
```
We have added three more lines to the header:
```
#+LATEX_CLASS: beamer
#+BEAMER_THEME: Frankfurt
#+BEAMER_INNER_THEME: rounded
```
To export to PDF, press `Alt + x` and type "org-beamer-export-to-pdf".
![latex_beamer_presentation.png][23]
The Latex Beamer presentation, created using Emacs and Org mode
I hope you enjoyed creating this LaTeX and Beamer document using Emacs (note that it's faster to use keyboard shortcuts than a mouse). Emacs Org-mode offers much more than I can cover in this post; you can learn more at [orgmode.org][24].

Yet Another TUI Graphical Activity Monitor, Written In Go
======
![](https://www.ostechnix.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Gotop-720x340.png)
You already know about “top” command, dont you? Yes, It provides dynamic real-time information about running processes in any Unix-like operating systems. A few developers have built graphical front-ends for top command, so the users can easily find out their systems activity in a graphical window. One of them is **Gotop**. As the name implies, Gotop is a TUI graphical activity monitor, written in **Go** language. It is completely free, open source and inspired by [gtop][1] and [vtop][2] programs.
In this brief guide, we are going to discuss how to install and use Gotop program to monitor a Linux systems activity.
### Installing Gotop
Gotop is written using Go, so we need to install it first. To install Go programming language in Linux, refer the following guide.
After installing Go, download the latest Gotop binary using the following command.
```
$ sh -c "$(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cjbassi/gotop/master/download.sh)"
```
And, then move the downloaded binary to your $PATH, for example **/usr/local/bin/**.
```
$ cp gotop /usr/local/bin
```
Finally, make it executable using command:
```
$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gotop
```
If youre using Arch-based systems, Gotop is available in **AUR** , so you can install it using any AUR helper programs.
Using [**Cower**][3]:
```
$ cower -S gotop
```
Using [**Pacaur**][4]:
```
$ pacaur -S gotop
```
Using [**Packer**][5]:
```
$ packer -S gotop
```
Using [**Trizen**][6]:
```
$ trizen -S gotop
```
Using [**Yay**][7]:
```
$ yay -S gotop
```
Using [yaourt][8]:
```
$ yaourt -S gotop
```
### Usage
Gotop usage is easy! All you have to do is to run the following command from the Terminal.
```
$ gotop
```
There you go! You will see the usage of your systems CPU, disk, memory, network, cpu temperature and process list in a simple TUI window.
![][10]
To show only CPU, Mem and Process widgets, use **-m** flag like below.
```
$ gotop -m
```
![][11]
You can sort the process table by using the following keyboard shortcuts.
* **c** CPU
* **m** Mem
* **p** PID
For process navigation, use the following keys.
* **UP/DOWN** arrows or **j/k** keys to go up and down.
* **Ctrl-d** and **Ctrl-u** up and down half a page.
* **Ctrl-f** and **Ctrl-b** up and down a full page.
* **gg** and **G** iump to top and bottom.
Press **< TAB>** to toggle process grouping. To kill the selected process or process group, type **dd**. To select a process, just click on it. To scroll down/up, use the mouse scroll button. To zoom in and zoom out CPU and memory graphs, use **h** and **l**. To display the help menu at anytime, just press **?**.
**Recommended read:**
And, thats all for now. Hope this helps. More good stuffs to come. Stay tuned!

Top 9 open source ERP systems to consider | Opensource.com
======
![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/image-full-size/public/lead-images/BUSINESS_orgchart1.png?itok=tukiFj89)
Businesses with more than a handful of employees have a lot to balance including pricing, product planning, accounting and finance, managing payroll, dealing with inventory, and more. Stitching together a set of disparate tools to handle those jobs is a quick, cheap, and dirty way to get things done.
That approach isn't scalable. It's difficult to efficiently move data between the various pieces of such an ad-hoc system. As well, it can be difficult to maintain.
Instead, most growing businesses turn to an [enterprise resource planning][1] (ERP) system.
The big guns in that space are Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft Dynamics. Their offerings are comprehensive, but also expensive. What happens if your business can't afford one of those big implementations or if your needs are simple? You turn to the open source alternatives.
### What to look for in an ERP system
Obviously, you want a system that suits your needs. Depending on those needs, more features doesn't always mean better. However, your needs might change as your business grows, so you'll want to find an ERP system that can expand to meet your new needs. That could mean the system has additional modules or just supports plugins and add-ons.
Most open source ERP systems are web applications. You can download and install them on your server. But if you don't want (or don't have the skills or staff) to maintain a system yourself, then make sure there's a hosted version of the application available.
Finally, you'll want to make sure the application has good documentation and good support—either in the form of paid support or an active user community.
There are a number of flexible, feature-rich, and cost-effective open source ERP systems out there. Here are nine to check out if you're in the market for such a system.
### ADempiere
Like most other open source ERP solutions, [ADempiere][2] is targeted at small and midsized businesses. It's been around awhile—the project was formed in 2006 as a fork from the Compiere ERP software.
Its Italian name means to achieve or satisfy, and its "multidimensional" ERP features aim to help businesses satisfy a wide range of needs. It adds supply chain management (SCM) and customer relationship management (CRM) features to its ERP suite to help manage sales, purchasing, inventory, and accounting processes in one piece of software. Its latest release, v.3.9.0, updated its user interface, point-of-sale, HR, payroll, and other features.
As a multiplatform, Java-based cloud solution, ADempiere is accessible on Linux, Unix, Windows, MacOS, smartphones, and tablets. It is licensed under [GPLv2][3]. If you'd like to learn more, take its [demo][4] for a test run or access its [source code][5] on GitHub.
### Apache OFBiz
[Apache OFBiz][6]'s suite of related business tools is built on a common architecture that enables organizations to customize the ERP to their needs. As a result, it's best suited for midsize or large enterprises that have the internal development resources to adapt and integrate it within their existing IT and business processes.
OFBiz is a mature open source ERP system; its website says it's been a top-level Apache project for a decade. [Modules][7] are available for accounting, manufacturing, HR, inventory management, catalog management, CRM, and e-commerce. You can also try out its e-commerce web store and backend ERP applications on its [demo page][8].
Apache OFBiz's source code can be found in the [project's repository][9]. It is written in Java and licensed under an [Apache 2.0 license][10].
### Dolibarr
[Dolibarr][11] offers end-to-end management for small and midsize businesses—from keeping track of invoices, contracts, inventory, orders, and payments to managing documents and supporting electronic point-of-sale system. It's all wrapped in a fairly clean interface.
If you're wondering what Dolibarr can't do, [here's some documentation about that][12].
In addition to an [online demo][13], Dolibarr also has an [add-ons store][14] where you can buy software that extends its features. You can check out its [source code][15] on GitHub; it's licensed under [GPLv3][16] or any later version.
### ERPNext
[ERPNext][17] is one of those classic open source projects; in fact, it was [featured on Opensource.com][18] way back in 2014. It was designed to scratch a particular itch, in this case replacing a creaky and expensive proprietary ERP implementation.
ERPNext was built for small and midsized businesses. It includes modules for accounting, managing inventory, sales, purchase, and project management. The applications that make up ERPNext are form-driven—you fill information in a set of fields and let the application do the rest. The whole suite is easy to use.
If you're interested, you can request a [demo][19] before taking the plunge and [downloading it][20] or [buying a subscription][21] to the hosted service.
### Metasfresh
[Metasfresh][22]'s name reflects its commitment to keeping its code "fresh." It's released weekly updates since late 2015, when its founders forked the code from the ADempiere project. Like ADempiere, it's an open source ERP based on Java targeted at the small and midsize business market.
While it's a younger project than most of the other software described here, it's attracted some early, positive attention, such as being named a finalist for the Initiative Mittelstand "best of open source" IT innovation award.
Metasfresh is free when self-hosted or for one user via the cloud, or on a monthly subscription fee basis as a cloud-hosted solution for 1-100 users. Its [source code][23] is available under the [GPLv2][24] license at GitHub and its cloud version is licensed under GPLv3.
### Odoo
[Odoo][25] is an integrated suite of applications that includes modules for project management, billing, accounting, inventory management, manufacturing, and purchasing. Those modules can communicate with each other to efficiently and seamlessly exchange information.
While ERP can be complex, Odoo makes it friendlier with a simple, almost spartan interface. The interface is reminiscent of Google Drive, with just the functions you need visible. You can [give Odoo a try][26] before you decide to sign up.
Odoo is a web-based tool. Subscriptions to individual modules will set you back $20 (USD) a month for each one. You can also [download it][27] or grab the [source code][28] from GitHub. It's licensed under [LGPLv3][29].
### Opentaps
[Opentaps][30], one of the few open source ERP solutions designed for larger businesses, packs a lot of power and flexibility. This is no surprise because it's built on top of Apache OFBiz.
You get the expected set of modules that help you manage inventory, manufacturing, financials, and purchasing. You also get an analytics feature that helps you analyze all aspects of your business. You can use that information to better plan into the future. Opentaps also packs a powerful reporting function.
On top of that, you can [buy add-ons and additional modules][31] to enhance Opentaps' capabilities. They include integration with Amazon Marketplace Services and FedEx. Before you [download Opentaps][32], give the [online demo][33] a try. It's licensed under [GPLv3][34].
### WebERP

如何将字体添加到 Fedora
===================
![](https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/install-fonts-1024x433.jpg)
字体可帮助你通过设计以创意的方式表达你的想法。无论给图片加标题、编写演示文稿还是设计问候语或广告字体都可以将你的想法提升到更高水平。很容易仅仅为了它们的审美品质而爱上它们。幸运的是Fedora 使安装变得简单。以下是如何做的。
### 全系统安装
如果你在系统范围内安装字体,那么它可以让所有用户使用。此方式的最佳方法是使用官方软件库中的 RPM 软件包。
开始前打开 Fedora Workstation 中的 _Software_ 工具,或者其他使用官方仓库的工具。选择横栏中选择 _Add-ons_ 类别。接着在 add-on 类别中选择 _Fonts_。你会看到类似于下面截图中的可用字体:
[![](https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Software-fonts-1024x768.png)][1]
当你选择一种字体时,会出现一些细节。根据几种情况,你可能能够预览字体的一些示例文本。点击 _Install_ 按钮将其添加到你的系统。根据系统速度和网络带宽,完成此过程可能需要一些时间。
你还可以在字体细节中通过 _Remove_ 按钮删除前面带有勾的已经安装的字体。
### 个人安装
如果你以兼容格式_.ttf_、 _otf_ 、_.ttc_、_.pfa_ 、_.pfb_ 或者 . _pcf_ 下载了字体,则此方法效果更好。这些字体扩展名不应通过将它们放入系统文件夹来安装在系统范围内。这种类型的非打包字体不能自动更新。他们也可能会在稍后干扰一些软件操作。安装这些字体的最佳方法是在你自己的个人数据目录中。
打开 Fedora Workstation 中的 _Files_ 应用或你选择的类似文件管理器应用。如果你使用 _Files_,那么可能需要使用 _Ctrl+H_ 组合键来显示隐藏的文件和文件夹。查找 _.fonts_ 文件夹并将其打开。如果你没有 _.fonts_ 文件夹,请创建它。 (记住最前面的点并全部使用小写。)
将已下载的字体文件复制到 _.fonts_ 文件夹中。此时你可以关闭文件管理器。打开一个终端并输入以下命令:
```
fc-cache
```
这将重建字体缓存,帮助 Fedora 可以找到并引用它。你可能还需要重新启动需要使用新字体的应用程序,例如 Inkscape 或 LibreOffice。你重新启动后新的字体应该就可以使用了。

使用 syslog-ng 可靠地记录物联网事件
======
![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/image-full-size/public/lead-images/openwires_fromRHT_520_0612LL.png?itok=PqZi55Ab)
现在,物联网设备和嵌入式系统越来越多。对于许多连接到因特网或者一个网络的设备来说,记录事件很有必要,因为你需要知道这些设备都做了些什么事情,这样你才能够解决可能出现的问题。
可以考虑去使用的一个监视工具是开源的 [syslog-ng][1] 应用程序它是一个强化的、致力于可移植的、中心化的日志收集守护程序。它可以从许多不同种类的源、进程来收集日志并且可以对这些日志进行过滤、存储、或者路由以便于做进一步的分析。syslog-ng 的大多数代码是用高效率的、高可移植的 C 代码写成的。它能够适用于各种场景,无论你是将它运行在一个处理能力很弱的设备上做一些简单的事情,还是运行在数据中心从成千上万的机器中收集日志的强大应用,它都能够胜任。
你可能注意到在这个段落中,我使用了大量的溢美词汇。为了让你更清晰地了解它,我们来复习一下,但这将花费更多的时间,也了解的更深入一些。
### 日志
首先解释一下日志。日志是记录一台计算机上事件的东西。在一个典型的 Linux 机器上,你可以在 `/var/log` 目录中找到这些信息。例如,如果你通过 SSH 登陆到机器中,你将可以在其中一个日志文件中找到类似于如下内容的信息:
`Jan 14 11:38:48 ``linux``-0jbu sshd[7716]: Accepted ``publickey`` for root from 127.0.0.1 port 48806 ssh2`
它的内容可能是关于你的 CPU 过热,通过 HTTP 下载了一个文档,或者你的应用程序认为重要的任何东西。
### syslog-ng
正如我在上面所写的那样syslog-ng 应用程序是一个强化的、致力于可移植性、和中心化的日志收集守护程序。守护程序的意思是syslog-ng 是一个持续运行在后台的应用程序,用于收集日志信息。
虽然现在大多数应用程序的 Linux 测试是限制在 x86_64 的机器上但是syslog-ng 也可以运行在大多数 BSD 和商业 UNIX 变种版本上的。从嵌入式/物联网的角度来看,这种能够运行在不同的 CPU 架构(包括 32 位和 64 位的 ARM、PowerPC、MIPS 等等)的能力甚至更为重要。(有时候,我通过阅读关于 syslog-ng 如何使用它们来学习新架构)
为什么中心化的日志收集如此重要?其中一个很重要的原因是易于使用,因为它放在一个地方,不用到成百上千的机器上挨个去检查它们的日志。另一个原因是可用性 —— 如果一个设备不论是什么原因导致了它不可用,你可以检查这个设备的日志信息。第三个原因是安全性;当你的设备被黑,检查设备日志可以发现攻击的踪迹。
### syslog-ng 的四种用法
Syslog-ng 有四种主要的用法:收集、处理、过滤、和保存日志信息。
**收集信息:** syslog-ng 能够从各种各样的 [特定平台源][2] 上收集信息,比如 `/dev/log``journal`,或者 `sun-streams`。作为一个中心化的日志收集器,传统的(`rfc3164`)和最新的(`rfc5424`)系统日志协议、以及它们 基于 UDP、TCP、和加密连接的各种变种它都是支持的。你也可以从管道、套接字、文件、甚至应用程序输出来收集日志信息或者各种文本数据
**处理日志信息:** 它的处理能力几乎是无限的。你可以用它内置的解析器来分类、规范、以及结构化日志信息。如果它没有为你提供在你的应用场景中所需要的解析器,你甚至可以用 Python 来自己写一个解析器。你也可以使用地理数据来丰富信息,或者基于信息内容来附加一些字段。日志信息可以按处理它的应用程序所要求的格式进行重新格式化。你也可以重写日志信息 —— 当然了,你不能篡改日志内容 —— 比如在某些情况下,需要满足匿名要求的信息。
**过滤日志:** 过滤日志的用法主要有两种:丢弃不需要保存的日志信息 —— 像调试级别的信息;和路由日志信息—— 确保正确的日志到达正确的目的地。后一种用法的一个例子是转发所有的认证相关的信息到一个安全信息与事件管理系统SIEM
**保存信息:** 传统的做法是,将文件保存在本地或者发送到中心化日志服务器;不论是哪种方式,它们都被发送到一个[平面文件][3]。经过这些年的改进syslog-ng 已经开始支持 SQL 数据库,并且在过去的几年里,大数据目的地,包括 HDFS、Kafka、MongoDB、和 Elasticsearch都被加入到 syslog-ng 的支持中。
### 消息格式
当在你的 `/var/log` 目录中查看消息时,你将看到(如上面的 SSH 信息)大量的消息都是如下格式的内容:
`date + host name + application name + an almost complete English sentence`
在这里的每个应用程序事件都是用不同的语法描述的,基于这些数据去创建一个报告是个痛苦的任务。
解决这种混乱信息的一个方案是使用结构化日志。在这种情况下,事件被表示为键-值对,而不是随意的日志信息。比如,一个 SSH 日志能够按应用程序名字、源 IP 地址、用户名、认证方法等等来描述。
你可以从一开始就对你的日志信息按合适的格式进行结构化处理。当处理传统的日志信息时,你可以在 syslog-ng 中使用不同的解析器,转换非结构化(和部分结构化)的信息为键-值对格式。一旦你的日志信息表示为键-值对,那么,报告、报警、以及简单查找信息将变得很容易。
### 物联网日志
我们从一个棘手的问题开始:哪个版本的 syslog-ng 最流行?在你回答之前,想想如下这些事实:这个项目启动于 20 年以前Red Hat 企业版 Linux EPEL 已经有了 3.5 版,并且当前版本是 3.14。当我在我的演讲中问到这个问题时,观众通常回答他们喜欢的 Linux 发行版。你们绝对想不到的是,正确答案竟然是 1.6 版最流行,这个版本已经有 15 年的历史的。这什么这个版本是最为流行的,因为它是包含在亚马逊 Kindle 阅读器中的版本,它是电子书阅读器,因为它运行在全球范围内超过 1 亿台的设备上。另外一个在消费类设备上运行 syslog-ng 的例子是 BMW i3 电动汽车。
Kindle 使用 syslog-ng 去收集关于用户在这台设备上都做了些什么事情的所有可能的信息。在 BMW 电动汽车上syslog-ng 所做的事情更复杂,基于内容过滤日志信息,并且在大多数情况下,只记录最重要的日志。
使用 syslog-ng 的其它类别设备还有网络和存储。一些比较知名的例子有Turris Omnia 开源 Linux 路由器和群晖 NAS 设备。在大多数案例中syslog-ng 是在设备上作为一个日志客户端来运行,但是在有些案例中,它运行为一个有富 Web 界面的中心日志服务器。
你还可以在一些行业服务中找到 syslog-ng 的身影。它运行在来自美国国家仪器有限公司NI的实时 Linux 设备上,执行测量和自动化任务。它也被用于从定制开发的应用程序中收集日志。从命令行就可以做配置,但是一个漂亮的 GUI 可用于浏览日志。
最后这里还有大量的项目比如汽车和飞机syslog-ng 在它们上面既可以运行为客户端也可以运行为服务端。在这种使用案例中syslog-ng 一般用来收集所有的日志和测量数据,然后发送它们到处理这些日志的中心化服务器集群上,然后保存它们到支持大数据的目的地,以备进一步分析。
### 对物联网的整体益处
在物联网环境中使用 syslog-ng 有几个好处。第一,它的分发性能很高,并且是一个可靠的日志收集器。第二,它的架构也很简单,因此,系统、应用程序日志、以及测量数据可以被一起收集。第三,它使数据易于使用,因为,数据可以被解析和表示为易于使用的格式。最后,通过 syslog-ng 的高效路由和过滤功能,可以显著降低处理程序的负载水平。
