My cheatsheet

-

This is my cheatsheet for setting up distribution using rpm. I am more experienced with distributions using dpkg, so I need this a little in the beginning.

-

Note on Fedora: install package "yum-plugin-fastestmirror" to always get the fastest mirror!. It comes with CentOS by default and is like http.debian.net and mirrors.ubuntu.com from Debian side of Linux family.

-

DO NOT RUN "yum update" NOR "yum upgrade" NOR ANYTHING ELSE WHICH UPGRADES PACKAGES BEFORE SETTING PRIORIZING!

+

This is my cheatsheet for setting up distribution using rpm (mainly Fedora & CentOS). I am more experienced with distributions using dpkg, so I need this a little in the beginning.

+

Always get the fastest mirror

yum install yum-plugin-fastestmirror
-

Installing Virtualbox guest additions

-

Start by installing dkms from EPEL.

-
rpm -i <package downloaded from EPEL link above>
-yum install dkms
-yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
-yum install kernel-devel
-

Press HOST + D and cd to the mount point and run the Linux Additions installer.

-

Fedora

-

First enable RPM Fusion. Then

-
yum install VirtualBox-guest
-

and reboot.

-

Enabling other repositories

-

For EPEL follow the first steps for Virtualbox guest additions installing above. Read also Fedora part above and enable RPM Fusion.

-

RPMGforge

-

Download the package and install it with

-
rpm -i <package>
-

Livna

-

Livna is easy to enable. Just go to their homepage and follow their instructions

-

yum-plugin-priorities

-

Using multiple 3rd party repositories (EPEL, RPMforge) is dangerous so you must use priorities to be safe.

+

By default cheks every 10 days, change configuration variable in config file to 0 to make it search always when yum is ran.

Priorities

+

Prevent repositories from conflicting each other:

yum install yum-plugin-priorities
-

Ensure that it's enabled by looking at /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf . It should read

-
[main]
-enabled=1
-

Now the plugin should be working and you must assign priorities.

-

Edit all .repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d and add

-
priority=X
-

to end of every section where X is replaced with actual priority.

-

CentOS wiki suggests the following priorities:

-

CentOS-Base/default repositories: everything is priority=1 except contrib priority=2

-

Third party repositories (EPEL,rpmforge) should be > 10 and other should be more preferred than other. I used

-

epel 10 rpmforge 11 rpmfusion 12 livna 12 (Livna provides only libdvdcss and other packages have been moved to rpmfusion.)

-

Now you should be able to safely run "yum check-update" and "yum update" or "yum upgrade".

-

If you have installed Fedora from Live-CD you probably want to instll LibreOffice with

+

Ensure that it's enabled!

+

Edit all .repo files in yum.repos.d and add PRIORITY=X to everything.

+

Installing Virtualbox guest additions

+
yum install dkms # requires some of the 3rd party repositories, EPEL on CentOS.
+
yum install VirtualBox-guest # Fedora only ( ? ) Requires RPM Fusion
+

Or using guest additions shipped with VirtualBox;

+
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
+yum install kernel-devel
+

Press HOST + D and cd to the mount point and run the Linux Additions installer and after successful installation, reboot

+

Installing LibreOffice (for people not installing from DVD) in Fedora

yum groupinstall office
-

and if your native language isn't English e.g.

+

Installing Finnsh language

+

and replacing "finnish" or "fi" with your native language

yum groupinstall finnish-support
+

or with KDE

+
yum install kde-l10n-fi
+

Installing all Gnome shell extensions

+
yum install gnome-tweak-tool "gnome-shell-extension-*" # This might not be a good idea.
+

Use gnome-tweak-tool to enable/disable them. They might need reboot/logging in again before they appear in gnome-tweak-tool.

+

Installing all codecs/gstreamer pluginsS

+

yum install "gstreamer-plugins-*" --skip-broken # Might not be a good idea... ## Installing Flash

+
yum install flashplugin # requires Adobe Flash repository to be enabled.
