Fedora 20 Heisenbug hit the scene several weeks ago. However, it never hurts to take a look at the update of our Fedora post installation guide, especially those just getting started on Linux. I hope you find it useful! |
Before we start, let's start by activating administrator privileges:
su -
and enter the administrator password.
1. Update Fedora
After giving root privileges, the next thing is to update the system. This is 100% recommended, in order to avoid any errors and to be able to install everything with the most recent packages.
yum-y update
2. Put Fedora in Spanish
One of the advantages of this new version is that the Anaconda installer and most of the environment come with support for the Spanish language, but if we want the entire system to be in our language, we just have to navigate to Activities> Applications> System Settings> Region and Language and select Spanish.
In case that doesn't work:
KDE
yum -y install kde-l10n-Spanish
yum -y install system-config-language
system-config-language
Gnome and others
yum -y install system-config-language
system-config-language
3. Install extra repositories
RPM Fusion is the most important (and almost mandatory to add) additional repository in Fedora. It includes a large part of the package that Red Hat does not include by default in its distributions for licensing or patent reasons, so this repository is essential to, for example, install multimedia playback codecs. This is because Fedora intends to offer us free alternatives to proprietary code and content to make it completely free and redistributable.
su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion- nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm '
To finish, we must update our repositories:
sudo yum check-update
We update:
sudo yum update
Now if we are ready to install proprietary drivers and codecs on our computer
4. Improve yum
yum is like Ubuntu's apt-get. By installing a few packages we are going to improve it and make it work faster.
yum -y install yum-plugin-fastestmirror yum -y install yum-presto yum -y install yum-langpacks
5. Install Nvidia driver
First of all, activate the RPM Fusion repository with the free and nonfree branches (see step 3).
1.- Check your video card model
rpm -qa * \ nvidia \ * * \ kernel \ * | sort; uname -r; lsmod | grep -e nvidia -e nouveau; cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf lspci | grep VGA
2.- Identify if your Nvidia video card is compatible with the drivers, visiting the following link.
3.- Update the kernel and SELinux module:
su
yum update kernel\* selinux-policy\*
reboot
4.- Install according to your video card:
GeForce FX
yum install akmod-nvidia-173xx xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173xx-libs
GeForce 6/7
yum -y install akmod-nvidia-304xx xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-304xx-libs
GeForce 8/9/200/300/400/500/600/700
yum -y install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs
Step 5: make sure nouveau is removed from initramfs
su
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
5.- Restart your computer.
6. Configure Gnome Shell
This may be the first thing you want to do in Fedora, since the Gnome 3 Shell is coming. To configure it, it is best to install gnome-tweak-tool to modify the theme, the fonts, etc. Dconf-editor will allow you to further modify and customize Fedora.
yum install gnome-tweak-tool yum install dconf-editor
7. Install audio and video codecs
yum -y install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-bad-nonfree gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg
8. Install codecs to watch DVDs
rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm yum check-update yum install libdvdread libdvdnav lsdvd libdvdcss
9. Install Flash
32/64 bit Flash:
yum install alsa-plugins-pulseaudio flash-plugin
10. Install java + java plugin
OpenJDK, the open version of Java that is sufficient for most tasks.
yum -y install java-1.7.0-openjdk yum -y install java-1.7.0-openjdk-plugin
However, if you are a Java developer you may want to install the official version of Sun Java.
32bit:
wget -c -O jre-oraclejava.rpm http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=81809
yum -y install jre-oraclejava.rpm
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
ln -s /usr/java/latest/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
echo 'PATH=/usr/java/latest/bin:$PATH' >> /etc/profile.d/java.sh
64bit:
wget -c -O jre-oraclejava.rpm http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=81811
yum -y install jre-oraclejava.rpm
cd /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
ln -s /usr/java/latest/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
echo 'PATH=/usr/java/latest/bin:$PATH' >> /etc/profile.d/java.sh
11. Install zip, rar, etc.
yum -y install unrar p7zip p7zip-plugins
12. Install LibreOffice in Spanish
yum -y install libreoffice-base libreoffice-calc libreoffice-core libreoffice-draw libreoffice-impress libreoffice-langpack-en libreoffice-math libreoffice-writer hunspell hunspell-en
13. Install Wine
yum install wine yum -y install cabextract
You can also install Winetricks (a set of DLLs necessary for the execution of some Windows programs). Once installed, you can run it like this: / usr / bin / winetricks
Yapa: automatic installers
There is a variety of scripts that allow us to automate a large part of the tasks to be carried out after the installation of Fedora. Among them, it is worth mentioning easy life y Fedora Utility.
Excellent guide .. But my goodness, what a way to do things after installing hahaha.
Haha! Yes ... 🙂
Post Viking, I install base and then the rest, arch wave or netinstall debian 😀
excellent post
After having read all this the only thing I can say is: "Thank God Linux Mint already comes with all this by default"
xD
And that I did not begin to detail how to install the proprietary drivers. I think it is the distribution in which that is more complicated… far.
It is what has to agree or not agree with the "Open Source" and Fedora is. If you want programs that are not in that area, it is what you play. By the way, does the Oracle Java plugin also come in Linux Mint? There is OpenJDK that except on specific websites is just as valid. If we start to get faulty by not bringing standard stuff, we would have to install many more closed programs such as Vydeo, Skype, Nero, Adobe Air, Opera etc.
Greetings.
As is ... Another thing, to put in Spanish it is not necessary to install anything, that you configure it in the installation or failing that once the system is installed and the linbreoffice-write, libreoffice-calc, libreoffice-draw and libreoffice-impress come with the system.
One of Fedora's great features is that it only uses free software, so the proprietary drivers are up to everyone's personal taste, I use the table drivers for my graphic configuration and it works very well for me.
I don't know why my mind came to me by the name xD to that of breaking bad haha
Me too xDD
As a suggestion, where you put more than one command put them with «;» So:
this:
yum install wine
yum -y install cabextract
So:
yum install wine; yum -y install cabextract
It interprets that it is all in the same file (I think you already know, I say it in case someone who does not read it)
People, don't criticize me Fedora. There are also easy ways to do all this script ?, too, but basically:
[code] su -c «curl http://satya164.github.io/fedy/fedy-installer -o fedy-installer && chmod + x fedy-installer && ./fedy-installer de[/code]
What a bigger fail, I don't know why I thought it was WordPress.
You can tell they haven't tried Slackware. I used it for a while and I liked it, but hell to get it ready.
Just missed…
amd graphics = switch to nvidia or use intel integrated graphics: laughs
Haha ... it is not easy to install the proprietary drivers in Fedora ... not easy.
The addition of the adobe repository section was missing to be able to successfully install the flash plugin.
For everything else it is great and quite simple, getting to the point that is what I wanted to find.
Greetings.
I just reinstalled and this guide was perfect for me, thanks Pablo !!
On the contrary, thanks to you for stopping by and commenting!
Hug! Paul.
I hope that the video card runs well so I can play dota 2 on steam XD
Help me with this as I know the model of my nvidia card I get this what it is and tell if it is compatible please 😀

and if it is on the support list now which of these commands do I run
1.- GeForce FX
yum install akmod-nvidia-173xx xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173xx-libs
2.- GeForce 6/7
yum -y install akmod-nvidia-304xx xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-304xx-libs
3.- GeForce 8/9/200/300/400/500/600/700
yum -y install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs
Information partner is appreciated!
I can't install lighter desktops ... does anyone know what I'm missing?
This is definitely just the tip of the iceberg of what most despairs me of the vast majority of Linux systems: that this type of article is necessary.
Improve yum? Why isn't Fedora supposed to be working on that? In offering a system that gives maximum performance? That shouldn't be needed and it should be PART OF THE SYSTEM. I totally agree that a system will never be perfect, but; like the example cited: just add a few lines of code for the yum to improve. Why the fuck not add it as a base? !!
1st If you install a live cd fedora comes with the basics.
2º If it does not include packages, it is due to licensing issues or because it does not fit into the philosophy of the distro
3rd If you are not a developer, use Windows, because your comment makes me understand
What a way to have noob user, pure wintendo in this blog, if you don't want to do anything, keep going wintendo 888888888, linux is for people who think not for noob user who have everything, although everything works wrong, but it works HAHAHA
, the information is appreciated although it is always the same, fedora is boring me already, it does not let you compile anything XD, we will have to scan the linux file =)
Excellent contribution !!!
Thank you.
Very good information, for those of us who are starting with linux
sorry I installed the fedora and now I want to update it and install some programs, I tried to do it but I get this error:

Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: fedora / 20 / x86_64. Please verify its path and try again
