Fedora 10 Setup Guide

A nice guide: http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f10.html

  1. Setup RPM Fusion repo
  2. Install nvidia driver from RPM Fusion
    # yum install akmod-nvidia

    and reboot

  3. Update Dell Firmware - I had to use the following to instead of the update_firmware command:
    # smbios-rbu-bios-update -u -v --hdr=/usr/share/firmware/dell/bios/system_bios_ven_0x1028_dev_0x01c2_version_a10/bios.hdr --reboot
  4. Install:
    • libcompizconfig
    • compizconfig-backend-gconf
    • gconf-editor (I have no idea why this package wasn't installed by default)
  5. Install the 64bit alpha Flash client 1) - make sure to get the newest version, and extract it to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
  6. Enable xine as the totem backend:
    # totem-backend -b xine
  7. Setup the livna repo:
    su -c "rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm"
  8. Install dvd tools and codecs:
    • yum install libdvdcss libdvdnav totem-xine xine-lib-extras-freeworld
    • yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-ffmpeg
  9. Configure sendmail and procmail: 2)
    • yum install sendmail-cf
    • comment the localhost restriction in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:
      dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
    • rebuild the sendmail configs:
      # make -C /etc/mail
