I just built my first RPM for fedora! w000t! In this post I will document the steps I took to make it build. I’ll start from the very beginning. Tools used: # yum groupinstall “Development Tools” # yum install rpmdevtools as stated here. Then I installed rpmlint because I wanted to check on my .spec file to make sure it was [ READ MORE ]

The Android livecd v.02 is out. I grabbed a copy from http://code.google.com/p/live-android/ and booted it up inside virtualbox to have a look. Seems pretty sweet to me! Now I want a Android phone… Settings to use for creating the virtualmachine should be Linux and Linux2.6, I gave it 256MB of memory and enabled 3d acceleration, [ READ MORE ]
I had some problem getting Spotify to run on my 64bit Fedora 11 laptop, fonts were missing and some graphics rendered horribly or was totally missing: Lucky for me I remembered that I have a free Crossover download waiting for me!

Firefox 3.5 crashes when trying to view a flash video in fullscreen. Not to worry, for there is a workaround. in /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.1pre/firefox.sh EDIT: the path on Fedora 11 is: /usr/lib/firefox-3.5/run-mozilla.sh you add export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 at the beginning of the file, but underneath #!/bin/sh So it looks like this: #!/bin/sh #fix the goddamn flash bug. export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 # Firefox launcher containing a Profile migration [ READ MORE ]
Howto get Amarok 2.1 to see your “iTunes” share, or mt-daapd in this case, also known as firefly. Obviously we begin by installing Amarok . I installed a bunch of stuff trying to get this to work, most of it avahi-related, but the thing that got it working was nss-mdns. Install a bunch of stuff: `yum install avahi-qt4 [ READ MORE ]
This is a short howto get the Nvidia drivers and multimedia stuff installed on your new Fedora 11. I assume you have a newly installed system before following this. The first thing you want to do before you run `yum update` is to install yum-presto: `yum install yum-presto`, and save some time and bandwidth. Next up is to install dkms [ READ MORE ]
