Over a year ago, the hard drive in my primary desktop at home bricked itself and rather than going through the hassle of reinstalling Win7 on the new disk, I decided to go with FC12. I’ve been pretty happy with it in general, since I’ve always been partial to Red Hat and use CentOS primarily at work.

64-bit Firefox 6 on CentOS 6 x86_64 (or Fedora) with Flash 11
So I’ve gone back to Linux from Mac, due to the SSD issues I had with my Macbook Pro basically making VMware unusable. A Win7 VM would grind the guest and host to a halt on the 7200 RPM SATA OEM drive, and the SSD wouldn’t work, so I put the SSD back in my HP and installed CentOS 6 x86_64. Not really ideal, but at least it works.
CentOS 6 ships with Firefox 3.6.9, which is really old by now. Fine for a server, but I wanted FF6. I grabbed the Firefox 6.0.1 bz2 from VoxCast, unzipped it and copied it to /usr/lib64/firefox-6. Then I ran yum remove firefox to remove 3.6.9 and avoid any issues. I tried the instructions from my older post on this subject but for whatever reason it didn’t work – I’m guessing because I’m not using the distro’s Firefox RPM.
I followed these instructions to get the Flash 11 64-bit plugin installed. It still wasn’t working though.
I ended up creating a symlink:
ln -s /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /home/evan/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
When I started up Firefox after creating the symlink, Flash worked.
Additionally, to set Firefox 6 as the default browser, run gnome-default-applications-properties, select Custom, and paste /usr/lib64/firefox-6/firefox %s in the Command: field.
Update: I upgraded my home desktop PC from FC12 to FC14 last night and used the above procedure to install Firefox 6.0.2 on it with Flash 11. So, in case anyone was wondering, the above works for Fedora as well.

Can Fedora 14 users use Gnome 3?
Another influx of visitors searching for the answer to this question. I think this is probably coming from listing the referring keywords right on the page, and then Google indexing those. Anyway, to answer the question, apparently not, at least not via official RPMs:
Hi
GNOME 3 won’t be available as a update to Fedora 14. You can try the Fedora 15 Beta that is about to be released in a few days.
Perhaps not you wanted but you can try the Live CD at

Clean install of FC14, regain Radeon X1600 support (!)
So I was complaining the other day about losing support for the Radeon X1600 when I upgraded my work laptop from FC12 to FC14. I was on the verge of ordering a new laptop (ThinkPad W510 with quadcore i7 and 1GB Quadro looks niiiice…) when I figured it was worth at least giving a true clean install a shot. I backed up all my stuff to an external USB drive, repartitioned my drive (finally done in a sane way), did a fresh FC14 install, and miraculously everything seemed to work. rsynced all my stuff back over and it was almost perfect. I still have a weird issue when trying to unlock my screen after it goes into screensaver – basically I can’t, it just stays locked and I’ve resorted to doing “init 3” and then “init 5” to make it work again. That’s a minor annoyance though at this point. So, yay again for Fedora! I wouldn’t go with ATi for a Linux machine again though.
Upgrading FC12 to FC14, lose support for Radeon X1600
I’d been running FC12 for quite a while and I noticed the past few weeks have been devoid of yum updates (except for Google Chrome). I figured FC15 is on the horizon; now’s a good time to upgrade to FC14.
I followed the basic procedure laid out here and went 12 -> 13 no problem. 13 -> 14: problem. The upgrade appeared to go well (loooong time to complete, downloading/installing 1+ gigs of packages, even over my 25 mbps home line) but X would not start no matter what. At this point I learned that system-config-display has been deprecated in FC14 and isn’t even there! I tried “Xorg –configure” but that configuration still didn’t work. I then tried doing a yum downgrade to FC13… let me save you the trouble: never try this.
I ended up downloading the FC14 DVD ISO and burning it, and doing a fresh install (repair, of course, just drops you to a shell – the equivalent of throwing you a life preserver in the middle of the ocean and leaving you there) without touching any of my existing partitions. This ended up being pretty painless and after it was complete everything worked. Or so it seemed…
I did the FC14 fresh install on Saturday (after having borked the laptop on Friday). At work on Monday I plugged in my secondary monitor and immediately noticed weirdness. Lines all over both displays, the Gnome panel unusable, any window that was created wasn’t drawing properly. And the topper was rebooting didn’t work – it would go to this colorful jumbley screen and just sit there until I did a hard poweroff. If I unplugged the external monitor and turned the computer on, it worked fine.
I’ve tried several things – installing the akmod-catalyst stuff and x11-catalyst-drv stuff via yum, but none of that seems to make much of a difference. livna-display-config throws an error that I don’t have the radeon drivers installed. I’ve tried the official ATI radeon driver for X1600, which complains that it can’t find XFree86. I tried to get around this by symlinking /usr/bin/Xorg to /usr/bin/XFree86, which got me past that hurdle, but then it complained that I have no adapter. I tried the other Linux radeon driver, which didn’t complain about XFree86 at least, but also said it didn’t find any AMD/ATI adapters.
At this point it seems these are my options:
- Live with one monitor (annoying)
- Downgrade/reinstall to FC13 (eventual obsolescence)
- Switch OS (Not an Ubuntu fan; Win7 doesn’t really make sense)
- Switch to Mac (can’t imagine using one for work)
- Buy a new computer and put FC14 on it (my C2D T7200 is kind of old…)
None of these options is very good. For now I’m just sticking with 1 monitor. Not the end of the world, but it’s annoying to run a WinXP VM and do my regular tasks inside a single screen.

Edit: I should probably mention that as soon as I install the xorg-x11-drv-catalyst stuff, X won’t start. If I remove it, it boots up fine (though the 2nd monitor screws causes it to freak out). This is pretty strange; I’ve done it several times to confirm:

Why is my laptop so freaking hot?
HP Compaq nc8430, Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0GHz. Fedora Core 12 x86_64, kernel 2.6.32.19-163.fc12.x86_64 (just updated via yum).
At idle, with nothing running in the foreground, the CPU is around 70-72° Celsius, and the other sensors are 80°+. Why is this? It seems like every time I run yum update the machine gets hotter. I wonder if there’s any way to figure out what’s causing this. In any case, it’s pretty annoying. It’s uncomfortable putting the thing on my lap for any length of time.
Notice the temperatures at the top. The first two are Core0 and Core1, the other 2 are other sensors. The CPU is running at 1.0 GHz due to SpeedStep and the temp is still 70°C.
Edit: I forgot I’ve been logging temperature via sensord. I just turned the computer on after having it off all night and within 10 minutes the CPU is back up to > 60°C.

Ripping a DVD on Fedora Core 13
I thought this would be a pretty straightforward task. It was, though it took several minutes to track down the CSS library needed for decryption of the DVD. All I want to do is copy Talking Words Factory to my phone so my kid can watch it in the car if needed. It looked like Brasero was the tool for the job, but I got some error about needing a plugin for it to be able to decrypt it. I found libdvdcss here and after installing the RPM, everything worked. Now I just need to encode it with ffmpeg.
Flash plugin on Firefox on Fedora 12 x86_64
I know I’ve been through this before because I’ve setup Fedora before and it’s working. But I just installed FC12 on my desktop at home (since my Seagate drive bricked itself a few days ago and I had to reinstall anyway) and while I finally got the Adobe Flash plugin working, it didn’t have any audio, which made YouTube kind of suck. Anyway, this of course was a solved problem, I just forgot where the fix was located… but duh, it’s on the Fedora website. A simple
yum install flash-plugin nspluginwrapper.x86_64 \
nspluginwrapper.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 \
libcurl.i686'
and everything appears to be fine. Thank you Fedora!
