New Program Installs.
- Google Chrome: one of the first things I do with a new install is pull out Google Chrome.
- Go to Google website and download the chrome rpm package, but it doesn't install automatically
- find this help: http://www.wallpaperama.com/forums/how-to-install-rpm-packages-redhat-fedora-linux-shell-command-t342.html
- try running as root: rpm -i google.....rpm
- gives missing dependencies error
- another help: http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-google-chrome-with-yum-on-fedora-red-hat-rhel/
- sudo nano /yum.repos.d/google.repo
- this created the file and I filled it in as detailed in the help
- su
- yum install google-chrome-stable
- this installed google chrome as root
- installed and worked perfectly
- Right now I am missing Ubuntu's software manager
- Java Runtime Environment
- Download from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre-7u2-download-1377135.html
- Followed this tutorial: http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-sun-oracle-java-jdk-jre-7-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/
- sudo rpm -Uvh jre.....rpm
- upgraded (actually installed) the downloaded java runtime package
- did the suggested commands to attach java to firefox
- Try to install packagekit to aid in installing new software
- Open Yum Extender
- search for packagekit
- select the following packages for install: PackageKit, PackageKit-glib, PackageKit-yum, PackageKit-command-not-found, PackageKit-docs, PackageKit-browser-plugin
- select gnome-packagekit and apply changes. This installs one dependency
- NOW, I can see Add/Remove Programs in System Tools
- crypto-utils
- dolfin???? gigolo used to connect to network storage, but this only opens file system up in web browser.
- virt-manager 0.9.1
- This version has configuration of bridges built into it for KVM virtualized machines
- Not sure if this would work for ubuntu servers or just Fedora/Red-hat types
- Programs I had installed:
- filezilla
- google chrome
- pitivi - video editor
- add/remove software --see above -- packagekit
- Gigolo - for remote file system access
- virtual machine filesystem browser
- virt-manager 0.9.1
- EasyLife - for added media support/configuration
