Fedora14 configuration (NVIDIA driver, audio and video decoder, Flash Player Plug-in installation in Firefox)

I always think that KDE is better than gnome. Therefore, I replaced Ubuntu and installed kubuntu. However, kubuntu is so disappointing to me that it does not support KDE well. For example, it does not support lanch sliding. The most fatal thing is that it does not support font well and the font is a little dotted. I checked it online and said that the KDE of opensuse is good, but because opensuse is not powerful (self-feeling), I finally changed to the KDE version of Fedora.

Fedora is really powerful, but it is a little more troublesome than ubuntu. Ubuntu has a new force and a Ubuntu Software Center. The APT method of its management software is more powerful and convenient than the yum method of Fedora. In ubuntu, the NVIDIA driver and MP3 decoder have installation prompts when you are using it for the first time. All you need to do is click the mouse. Fedora is really troublesome, but since you have chosen fedora, you have to have a try.

Switch to root first:

Su Root

I. configure a quick source first

See my other article bloghttp: // blog.csdn.net/shiyanhui66/archive/2011/01/13/6133229.aspx.

Ii. By default, the GCC and G ++ compilers are not installed on fedora. Therefore, as a coder, the first thing to do is install GCC, G ++:

Yum install GCC gcc-C ++

Iii. decoder Installation

Audio decoder:

Yum install gstreamer *
 

 

Video Decoder:

Yum install FFMPEG-libs gstreamer-FFMPEG libmatrosca xvidcore libdvdread libdvdna v lsdvd

 

Extended totem playback DVD:

Yum install totem-xine totem-gstreamer xine-Lib-extras-freeworld

 

4. Install the NVIDIA driver

First look at your NVIDIA models, and then go to the official network search and your models correspond to the driver http://www.nvidia.cn/Download/index.aspx? Lang = Cn

.

This is Lenovo y450, and the video card is NVIDIA gt240m. As of today (2010.12.20) the latest version is: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.21.run.

1, first copy the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.21.run to/usr/local, of course you can also copy to other places in addition to/tmp, this is just for a while to install good looking:

 

Copy NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.21.run/usr/local

2. Install kernel-devel:

Yum install kernel-devel

3. Set fedora's defaultNouveau driver shielded:

Vim/etc/modprobe. d/blacklist. conf

Add

blacklist nouveau

Comment out the following sentence

Blacklist nvidiafd

Save and exit.

4. Edit the/etc/grub. conf file to disable the use of nouveau kms.

Vim/etc/grub. conf

Add rdblacklist =Nouveau, or

Nouveau. modeset = 0.

5. Restart and directly enter the text interface. Method: when the manufacturer's logo disappears, press any key to enter grub. Press the key e to enter the edit, select the line of the kernel, press the key e to edit, add 3 at the end, press enter and press the key B to enter the text interface.

6. Run the NVIDIA driver after entering/usr/local.

CD/usr/local <br/> Sh./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.21.run

If any module is not installed during driver installation, exit the installation and run Yum install "module to be installed"

This completes the driver.

7. After the driver is installed, start NVIDIA kms.

At this time, you only need to add "VGA = ask" at the end of the line of the kernel at startup, and then boot. You can select the video mode when a video is displayed. You only need to select the video mode based on the color depth of your current image. If you do not know, try multiple times. Remember the pattern, for example, 37B. Edit/Etc/grub. conf, so you don't have to worry about it every time.

Vim/etc/grub. conf

Add VGA = ???, Here, my VGA = 0x37b and 0x37b are hexadecimal numbers.

5. Enable KDE Special Effects

Sometimes, after KDE is enabled, it is automatically disabled. To solve this problem ~ /. KDE to delete it, and then you just need to go to system settings --> desktop effects --> advanced, and then put a check in front of the disable functionality checks, and then apply.

6. Install the Flash Player Plug-in Firefox

First go to The flshplayer official website to download. RPM package http://get.adobe.com/cn/flashplayer/

After installation:

Mkdir-P/usr/lib/Mozilla/plugins <br/> Yum install flash-plugin

7. Automatic Gmail reminder

Because Gmail is frequently used, you only need to install gnome Gmail and Gmail notifier to install a Gmail automatic reminder function.

Yum install gnome-Gmail-notifier

8. Install OpenOffice

Fedora14 KDE livecd does not have OpenOffice installed. You only need to execute the following two commands:

Yum groupinstall "office/producti.org" <br/> Yum-y install OpenOffice.org-langpack-zh_CN
