Fedora 10 Install Notes
These are the install notes for my Fedora 10 install on my workstation at the office:
Enable access to both the free and the nonfree repositories at RPM Fusion and run an upgrade:
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm \
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
Make sure the system is crisp and updated with the new repositories:
yum upgrade -y
Install GStreamer plugins with stability/license issues, including support for AAC, A52, SID, MPEG2, MP4, H.264, DVD navigation etc.:
yum install -y gstreamer-plugins-ugly
yum install -y gstreamer-plugins-schroedinger
yum install -y gstreamer-ffmpeg
Install various alternate video players:
yum install -y mplayer
Install various video encoders:
yum install -y mencoder
In time of writing, Adobe’s Flash plugin isn’t available as RPM – at least not the lastest beta version for x86_64 – so download it from Adobe Labs, unpack and drop libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins/. Make sure you’ve removed any trace of NSPluginWrapper first. Example (this is a single-user install, so don’t run as root):
wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
tar -zxvf libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
rm -f libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
mkdir –parent ~/.mozilla/plugins
mv libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins
