Autoten to help install codecs,flash etc...

[cSquared]

great script!! That's real good work. thanks Dangermouse!!

[Dangermouse]

Hello all, i have changed the script to install/configure flash, rm,etc in 64bit firefox as well now etc, (nspluginwrapper) if anyone is interested, only for F8 though.
F7,s script i have stopped updating/checking as i no longer have F7 installed, if you encounter a problem with F7,s script then please email me @ dnmouse6@aol.com.

[Dangermouse]

If anyone is interested the script now includes setting up sudo with and without password,

[armandocl]

nice, work fine

[dancingdog777]

Thank you DM, but when I click on the F8 link, I'm asked if I want to open it with Getit and then it just opens as a text file. So what am I doing wrong please?

[Dangermouse]

Hello dancingdog777 you are supposed to enter a terminal with su -
then do wget http://dnmouse.webs.com/fedora8.sh and then sh fedora8.sh not click on the link

fedora7.sh: line 67: mozilla-plugin-config: command not found

I get this when running the dvd playback part of the script.

Thanks

Thank you for that, it should not of been there, i have removed it from the script, it wont effect anything, that command is if you have nspluginwrapper installed and want to use flash etc on 64 bit firefox.

Wow I wish a script like this worked for FC6 when I had it. Great work I am subscribing to this thread and will try out the script on my laptop very soon

[dancingdog777]

What am I doing wrong here please?
[peter@localhost ~]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost peter]# exit.sh
bash: exit.sh: command not found
[root@localhost peter]# wget http://dnmouse.webs.com/scripts/fedora8
bash: wget: command not found
[root@localhost peter]# wget http://dnmouse.webs.com/scripts/fedora8.sh
bash: wget: command not found

Also tried su with the hyphen
[peter@localhost ~]$ su -
Password:
[root@localhost ~]# wget http://dnmouse.webs.com/scripts/fedora8.sh
-bash: wget: command not found
[root@localhost ~]#

We are talking about the same distro aren't we? I thought F8 uses yum

Strange you dont have wget, its part of the default option, anyway just do

su
yum -y install wget

then just follow /copy paste the instruction again and it should work

[dancingdog777]

Hang on a mo! I installed from the Live CD rather than the DVD (I'm a 2nd class citizen!), so there's probably hundreds of files missing. Wget may be one of them.

Anyhow, thanks for the help.

Oh, and whats the diff between su and su - ?

su gives root privilleges but keeps you in your current directory su - does the same thing but takes you to the root home folder.

[dancingdog777]

Hi Dangermouse,
Just to say I installed Fed 8 on a spare 2.8 Ghz dual core computer someone gave me (ex-server) from the DVD and wget was installed by default as you said it should have been. Just used your script and it worked straight away. So thanks again!

One other thing I can't find is how to make Fed 8 switch on the number lock by default at each boot up. It's switched on in my BIOS by default but it's a pain having to switch in on manually each time in the distro. Any thoughts?

[leadgolem]

Try this.

su
yum install numlockx

If you want it defaulted in the CLI also you need to append this to /etc/rc.local

gedit /etc/rc.local

This is the line to add, make sure you have an empty line at the end of the file.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
