2. Open terminal and login as root: su
4. Make all the fonts available to system: chmod 0775 -R arial/ calibri/ candara/ timesnewroman/
5. Cache all the fonts on system: fc-cache arial/ calibri/ candara/ timesnewroman/In order to set the display of another pc into yours do the following:
1. xhost + ... in the pc that you are already logged in...
2. slogin user@machine_target
3. setenv DISPLAY machine_source:0.0
grep "STRING" *.file
grep "STRING" */*.file to search in top level
(equivalent command for dos is findstr)
The first thing to do is add the lines:
network.protocol-handler.app.http=/usr/bin/opera
network.protocol-handler.app.https=/usr/bin/opera
and then turn this to true:
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http=true
restart thunderbird and try to open a link... now thunderbird asks about the browser...
set /usr/bin/opera and check "remember"...
In Fedora 13 after installing oo3 it is not possible to start it:
so you get the message...
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libuno_sal.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
so the first thing to do is:
cd /opt/openoffice.org/basis3.2/
ln -s /usr/lib/openoffice.org/ure/ ure
ln -s /usr/lib/openoffice.org/ure/ ure-link
so now if you try again you get this:
libfreebl3.so: version `NSSRAWHASH_3.12.3' not found (required by /lib/libcrypt.so.1)
so now:
cd /opt/openoffice.org/basis3.2/program/
mv libfreebl3.so libfreebl3.so_old
in case you have problems with the libraries do this:
cd /opt/openoffice.org3/program/
ldd soffice.bin
tar -cvf file.tar file1 file2 ...
gzip -9 file.tar
split -b 20M (or 3GB) -d file.tar.gz
cat x0* > file.tar.gz
tar zxvf file.tar.gz
First of all take backup of all your /home directory or any important data... So after you burn the cd reboot and start from there. Take care to preview the partition before to continue and make sure that your /root directory has a size of 5GB and the rest (big) is for your /home..
After the installation is complete open a terminal..
1. yum install kernel-devel gcc
2. yum update
3. yum install firefox thunderbird gimp vim xbindkeys java
you can download opera, skype, acrobat, flash, openoffice and prefer the *.rpm files...it is easier.. so download then in a folder and then apply to all :
chmod u+x *
and then install each one with the command:
rpm -iUvh *.rpm
or just:
./*.bin
if it is a bin file...
4. Install vlc using the commands:
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install vlc
yum install mozilla-vlc
5. Install VirtualBox using the command:
yum install VirtualBox-OSE.i686
and after the installation is complete do the following:
1. vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
2. ++ lines:
#kvm
blacklist kvm_intel
blacklist kvm
then reboot and setup the virtual os.
6. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART: INSTALL NVIDIA driver and disable the "NOUVEAU" driver...
1. After logging in Fedora press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to enter terminal mode.
2. telinit 3
sh NVIDIA* -k $(uname -r)
* the driver that you have downloaded from NVIDIA. The -k $(uname -r) is needed if you get the message that fedora can not load the kernel nvidia.ko
3. Press Yes when being asked about creating the xorg.conf file.
4. vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
++ line:
blacklist nouveau
5. vi /boot/grub/grub.conf
++ at the end of the kernel line:
rdblacklist=nouveau vga=0x318
6. yum remove '*nouveau*'
7. reboot ... now fedora will start with your nvidia driver....
7. Download java from the sun site and install. Type "is Java enabled" in firefox and you will find sites for testing this. If not then:
1. cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
2. ln -s /usr/java/jre*..../lib/i386/libnpjp2.so .
* this is the version that you have previously installed.
8. Mouse with many buttons configuration:
Download the xautomation package... I prefer the *.rpm and install it. It install the xte software simulating mouse clicks. As user apply the command:
xbindkeys --defaults > /home/user/.xbindkeysrc
A default file is created and now edit it and add the lines:
"xbindkeys_show"
control+shift + q
# delele on right side mouse button
"xte 'key Delete'"
b:9
# escape on left side mouse button
"xte 'key Escape'"
b:8
Comment out any lines if not needed.
Finally:
vi /home/user/.bash_profile
and add the line:
/usr/bin/xbindkeys
in order to load the application in each boot.
9. The rest part is easy as you can configure all your setting from the system settings of fedora...
