<h1 id="my-cheatsheet">My cheatsheet</h1>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Note on Fedora: install package "yum-plugin-fastestmirror" to always get the fastest mirror!</strong>. It comes with CentOS by default and is like http.debian.net and mirrors.ubuntu.com from Debian side of Linux family.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>DO NOT RUN "yum update" NOR "yum upgrade" NOR ANYTHING ELSE WHICH UPGRADES PACKAGES BEFORE SETTING PRIORIZING!</strong></p>
|
|
<pre><code>yum install yum-plugin-fastestmirror</code></pre>
|
|
<h2 id="installing-virtualbox-guest-additions">Installing Virtualbox guest additions</h2>
|
|
<p>Start by installing dkms from <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F">EPEL</a>.</p>
|
|
<pre><code>rpm -i <package downloaded from EPEL link above>
|
|
yum install dkms
|
|
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
|
|
yum install kernel-devel</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Press HOST + D and cd to the mount point and run the Linux Additions installer.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="fedora">Fedora</h3>
|
|
<p>First <a href="http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration">enable RPM Fusion</a>. Then</p>
|
|
<pre><code>yum install VirtualBox-guest</code></pre>
|
|
<p>and reboot.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="enabling-other-repositories">Enabling other repositories</h2>
|
|
<p>For <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL">EPEL</a> follow the first steps for Virtualbox guest additions installing above. Read also Fedora part above and enable RPM Fusion.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="rpmgforge">RPMGforge</h3>
|
|
<p>Download the <a href="http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge#head-f0c3ecee3dbb407e4eed79a56ec0ae92d1398e01">package</a> and install it with</p>
|
|
<pre><code>rpm -i <package></code></pre>
|
|
<h2 id="livna">Livna</h2>
|
|
<p><a href="http://rpm.livna.org/">Livna is easy to enable. Just go to their homepage and follow their instructions</a></p>
|
|
<h3 id="yum-plugin-priorities">yum-plugin-priorities</h3>
|
|
<p>Using multiple 3rd party repositories (EPEL, RPMforge) is dangerous so you must use priorities to be safe.</p>
|
|
<pre><code>yum install yum-plugin-priorities</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Ensure that it's enabled by looking at /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf . It should read</p>
|
|
<pre><code>[main]
|
|
enabled=1</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Now the plugin should be working and you must assign priorities.</p>
|
|
<p>Edit all .repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d and add</p>
|
|
<pre><code>priority=X</code></pre>
|
|
<p>to end of every section where X is replaced with actual priority.</p>
|
|
<p><a href="http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities">CentOS wiki</a> suggests the following priorities:</p>
|
|
<p>CentOS-Base/default repositories: everything is priority=1 except contrib priority=2</p>
|
|
<p>Third party repositories (EPEL,rpmforge) should be > 10 and other should be more preferred than other. I used</p>
|
|
<p><strong>epel 10 rpmforge 11 rpmfusion 12 livna 12</strong> (Livna provides only libdvdcss and other packages have been moved to rpmfusion.)</p>
|
|
<p>Now you should be able to safely run "yum check-update" and "yum update" or "yum upgrade".</p>
|
|
<p>If you have installed Fedora from Live-CD you probably want to instll LibreOffice with</p>
|
|
<pre><code>yum groupinstall office</code></pre>
|
|
<p>and if your native language isn't English e.g.</p>
|
|
<pre><code>yum groupinstall finnish-support</code></pre>
