Install kvm:

yum install virt-manager libvirt libvirt-python python-virtinst kvm

While setting up KVM on a fedora 13 host, remember to
set the default network to autostart,

virsh net-define /usr/share/libvirt/networks/default.xml
virsh net-autostart default
virsh net-start default

then after that, edit

vi /etc/sysctl.conf

and set

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

and reload and restart libvirtd:

service libvirtd reload
service libvirtd restart

or the network will be down on all guests.

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

Then I made this: http://magnu5.fedorapeople.org/review/dropbox-servicemenu/

dropbox-servicemenu

dropbox-servicemenu

I haven’t tested this yet, and the RPM’s lack documentation, will query upstream to make some. In the meantime, you can enjoy this with your fedora kde!

Requires: dropbox, python, sqlite and kde.

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
