Install the application Dropbox in the Meego Development System

Meego is a fast operating system for netbooks and has some good ideas, as I described in a recent article. As a Linux release, it is so young that it is very exciting because it is always interesting to try new things. It is also depressing because you may not be able to run necessary programs.

1. How to install Dropbox in Meego Development

Dropbox is a killer netbook application for me. The files I modified on my desktop can be automatically transferred to the netbook, making my netbook a perfect complement to my desktop. What can be done better?

However, Meego does not have a simple method to install Dropbox. Making it run is a big challenge, but it is not impossible.
First, go to the DropboxLinux Version Download Page to obtain the orax86 installation package. Then, open the terminal and click "application", "System Tools", and "terminal" on the taskbar. Then, type "cdDownloads" and press enter to enter the download directory, then type:
Sudoyumlocalinstallnautilus-dropbox-0.6.2-1.fedora.i386.rpm make sure that the version number in the command is the same as the version number you downloaded .) In this way, you can install Dropbox.

You can open the Dropbox at any time, and it will run normally for most people.

If you want to move the directory of the Dropbox, you will find that the Dropbox will crash immediately. I am doing this, and I wrote my own effort Bry on Monday.
However, I finally found a solution. Open ". dropbox-dist "directory in Nautilus press Ctrl + H show hidden folder), you only need to delete the file" libdbus-glib-1.so.2 "will find that you can perfectly change the Dropbox location.

Do you want to know why? Let's take a look at the explanation here, but note that this is really annoying.
One more thing needs to be done, otherwise you will find that the yum command cannot be used. Open the terminal again and type "cd/etc/yum. repos. d/", and then type" sudormdropbox. this will remove the Dropboxrepo automatically added when the Dropbox is installed. This cannot work normally under Meego.

2. How to install Skype in Meego Development

I don't need to explain how great Skype is. I have already introduced it. It is much more difficult to make Skype run normally in Meego than other releases, but it can still run. This post on Meego Forum explains in detail.
Basically what you need to do is go to the SkypeLinux Version Download Page and install locally from the command line as described in the Dropbox section: "sudoyumlocalinstallskype-2.1.0.81-fc10.i586.rpm-nogpgcheck"
Note that you can add the word "-nogpgcheck". Otherwise, you cannot add it as it is because Skype does not have a signature.

3. How to run the AdobeAir application in Meego

Try installing the AdobeAir application in Meego, and you will soon find that the installation method of the browser is poor. There is one way to solve the problem, but some tips are required. Go to the AdobeAir download page and click "Download". You can find a file in the download directory. binfile, right-click and select "properties". On the "License" tab, click "allow execution as a program ".

Open the terminal, type "cdDownloads" and press Enter./AdobeAIRInstaller. bin to start the installation process.
After running the tool, you will find that you cannot install it directly on the Tweetdeck or TimesReader website. You will find the following crying icon:

Further work is required: directly download the. air file and install it using the AdobeAir Installer. You can find the attachment in the program menu. Finding. air for these applications is also challenging, but not impossible. TweetDeck here, TimesReader here, it takes some Google effort to help you find other applications you need

After that, I found that Chrome cannot run Flash. There is a simple solution: uninstall and reinstall flash. Open the terminal, type "sudoyumremoveflash-plugin", and press Enter. After the uninstallation process is complete, type "sudoyuminstallflash-plugin" to reinstall the flash. You will find everything is normal.

4. How to install a dedicated decoder in Meego

I personally do not use netbooks to watch videos, but I want to install a dedicated decoder if necessary. I tried to make everything in this tutorial simple and practical, but I didn't find a simple method to install the decoder on Meego. You can refer to the Meego forum to find the Compilation Guide for compiling all the codecs you need.
These operation guides are obviously not suitable for people with weak heart, but they are really good. If Meego is worth your use, let's take a look at how to deal with them, but I cannot find a simpler way to explain how to get started.

Meego Development Summary

These issues are hardly so difficult in other netbooks, such as Ubuntu has a pre-customized installation package.) or jolicair can install AdobeAir, Dropbox, and Skype with one click, and all default codecs ). However, the Meego user interface is cool and the running speed is also difficult. Using the guidance above to install Meego can basically do anything, but a third-party software library containing all the software should be a simpler solution.
