KDE: KMyMoney, Headerbars and Installing Linux Desktop Environment KDE Plasma

Filed under
KDE
  • On the other side of town …

    Since the author of AqBanking recently posted the question how this works, I think it is a good idea to document it in a publically visible way. First of all: why do we need mapping at all? KMyMoney as well as AqBanking deal with the representation of bank accounts and assign each such object an internal ID. Unfortunately, both of them use a different ID for the same account and so one needs some way of turning a KMyMoney ID into an AqBanking ID and vice versa. This is what we are talking here.

    Since KMyMoney does not only support AqBanking as an online banking backend it provides a standardized interface to all of them. Also, a set of procedures is defined to support a wide range of possible backends. Now we deal with two different interfaces: one required for KMyMoney and another one required by AqBanking. The trick here is the glue-logic residing in KBanking. It does all the magic that is needed for a successful marriage of the two participants.

  • On Headerbars

    This type of headerbar is used to a extensively in GNOME and macOS. The adoption of headerbars appears to be an industry trend, and people often ask why KDE apps don’t have headerbars or even seem to be working towards gaining them.

  • Installing Linux Desktop Environment KDE Plasma Is A 'Snap'

    Developers wanting to create applications for the Linux-based KDE desktop environment are getting a helping hand from Canonical and Snapcraft. And bleeding-edge users who want to experiment with the full KDE Plasma desktop can now install it as a snap.

Try KDE Plasma Desktop As A Snap Package

  • Try KDE Plasma Desktop As A Snap Package

    Users wanting to try out KDE Plasma can now install the whole Plasma desktop as a snap. By using the KDE Plasma desktop snap, you're not making any changes to your underlying system, while also having the option of easily removing it.

    The KDE Plasma Desktop snap is available as a tech preview "and should not be considered for production".

    Available as a standalone application, the KDE Plasma Desktop snap can be installed on any system that supports snaps, no matter if the system was previously using Plasma desktop or not (it doesn't replace existing Plasma desktop).

    There are currently some limitations like Wayland not working with this session. You also cannot run applications from the host system, though you'll see other snaps (if you already have some applications installed as snaps) in the menu, but running them won't work. apt / snap commands to install extra software don't work either. As a result, this is useful for testing purposes, and not to replace your current desktop environment, at least for now.

It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
