Lou's Fedora Cheat Sheet

Here's a copy of my Fedora cheat sheet that I put together to install all of the codecs and applications necessary for common every day tasks.

First you must enable the RPM Fusion repository to do so go here: http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

# RPM Fusion Repos
su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm'

# Latest Nvidia Driver
sudo yum install "kernel-devel-uname-r == $(uname -r)"
sudo yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide install akmod-nvidia
sudo mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
sudo dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

# Steam 32bit package for 64bit System

sudo yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide install sudo xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686


# Multimedia Codecs

sudo yum -y install gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-extras gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld gstreamer1-plugsins-base-tools gstreamer1-plugins-good-extras gstreamer1-plugins-ugly gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer1-plugins-base

# Packages to view DVD's
sudo yum -y install libdvdread libdvdnav lsdvd

# Install 64bit flash support
sudo rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-...
sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
sudo yum install flash-plugin

# Install 32bit flash support 
sudo rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-...
sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
sudo yum install flash-plugin

 # Install Google Chrome 64bit

wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

sudo rpm --import linux_signing_key.pub


sudo sh -c 'echo "[google-chrome]
name=Google Chrome 64-bit
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo'

sudo yum install google-chrome-stable


# ffmpeg used to capture my screen for screen casts
sudo yum -y install ffmpeg ffmpeg-libs

# Flash Player

sudo rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
sudo yum install flash-plugin

# How To Update Grub
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

# How To Clean out old kernels
su -c 'package-cleanup --oldkernels -y'

# How To Fix Font Anti-Aliasing and Hinting

  1. Awesome bro, thanks for posting this!It's nice to find this all in one place. As I go through the list of stuff you install, it almost entirely matches what I would as well. It may as well be Chris's cheat sheet...lol!
