Magnus » Linux http://blog.rubbad.com Sun, 25 Jul 2010 17:08:01 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 update on Dropbox Servicemenu http://blog.rubbad.com/archives/452 http://blog.rubbad.com/archives/452#comments Mon, 31 May 2010 15:31:23 +0000 Magnus http://blog.rubbad.com/?p=452 Since I find this servicemenu very useful, I’ll continue packaging it. I have placed it inside my own repository as it is not suitable for inclusion in fedora (as in not so useful since the dropbox client is gnome only and this does not use dropbox-nautilus, but assumes you have followed this guide here or similar).

To install this on fedora you will need to put this in /etc/yum.repos.d/magnu5.repo:

[magnu5]
name=magnu5
baseurl=http://magnu5.fedorapeople.org/repo/$releasever/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

or install the rpm for the repo:

yum install http://magnu5.fedorapeople.org/repo/magnu5-1.0-1.fc13.noarch.rpm --nogpgcheck

Then

yum install dropbox-servicemenu

This is a much faster video thumbnail generator than mplayerthumbs.

kffmpegthumbnailer

This should be installable using yum in a week or so, ffmpegthumbnailer has already hit the repository.

You should remove libqjson* that you have installed from here, and instead use the official build.

Code:

su -c 'yum remove libqjson* && yum install qjson'

After that you install kopete-facebook:

Suse was one of the first distributions I  began experimenting with linux on. I was impressed then (opensuse 9.0), and 11.2 does not let me down. Everything I’ve thrown at it  thus far has been successful. OpenSuse has always had a great KDE implementation, and KDE 4.3.1 that is shipped with 11.2 is no letdown. KDE 4.3.4 is available too from the repositories after some manual intervention. There are some small hiccups in getting the multimedia to work as it should, enabling the Packman repo and installing gecko-mediaplayer results in Firefox crashing every time you attempt to start it. RedDwarf has a newer release that fixes it in the build service however. Oh yeah, I’ve rebuilt the kopete-protocol-facebook plugin for openSUSE too, their version doesn’t show the buddylist. Get it from the build service. My repo is here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Magnu5:/Kopete-protocol-facebook-git/openSUSE_11.2/

one click install: http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/home:Magnu5:Kopete-protocol-facebook-git/openSUSE_11.2/kopete-protocol-facebook.ymp
