My cheatsheet

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

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

3rd party repositories

Repository	My priority	Description
Base/Fedora-*	1	Official Fedora/CentOS packages
Extra	2	CentOS only, extra packages
Flash	10	Adobe Flash, shouldn’t conflict with EPEL and EPEL is CentOS only.
EPEL	10	Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (CentOS only)
RPM Fusion	11	“Provides software that the Fedora Project or Red Hat doesn’t want to ship”
Livna	11	Provides libdvdcss for watching DVDs
RPM Forge	12	CentOS only ( ? ), “Provides a set of repositories”

Terminal enabling

This is faster than the GUI method

Fedora

echo "Adobe doesn't provide direct download link for the package :("
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm

CentOS

echo "Adobe doesn't provide direct download link for the package :("
rpm -ivh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/<RELEASE>/i386/repoview/epel-release.html # replace <release> with CentOS / RedHat version. For example: 5 or 6 NOT 6.X or 5.X!
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/<RELEASE>/i386/rpmfusion-free-release-<RELEASE>-1.noarch.rpm # Read the comment on line above
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/updates/<RELEASE>/i386/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-<RELEASE>-1.noarch.rpm # The line two lines above tells you what to do...
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm
rpm -ivh http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el<RELEASE>.rf.<ARCH>.rpm # Replace <RELEASE> with CentOS version (examples some lines above) and <ARCH> with i686 or x86_64

Priorities

Prevent repositories from conflicting each other:

yum install yum-plugin-priorities

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

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.
