Play MP3 on Fedora 15

How to setup Fedora 15 to be able to play MP3
Links: Reference


Yay! If you are reading this, it’s because you make a fresh install of the new Fedora 15, then import your library music, open banshe/rhythmbox and no mp3 plugin detected, ok, click on search, but! nothing is found…Wow..what can I do now? I can’t live without my music!!!!

No worries, me too ;-)

First, we need to check if we have rpmfusion repository:

ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ | grep rpmfusion



1. Install rpmfusion

[root@localhost alexm]# 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


2. Install gstreamer plugins

[root@localhost alexm]# yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-ffmpeg -y

Here is the installation log.


[root@localhost alexm]# 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

Rooting the Samsung Vibrant

* Note this post is a re-post from http://droiditude.com/?p=6*

WARNING! Rooting your device could easily and permanently screw up your phone, or in other words it will not be usable for anything other than a paper weight. And rooting your device may also void your warranty and may also be illegal where you live. Below if a video of how to root and unroot a Samsung Vibrant is located here. I rooted my Vibrant so I could test a bunch of apps that require root access.

The following instructions are modified from XDA-Developers.
Windows Instructions

1. Download the GalaxyS_Vibrant_One-Click_Root.rar application.
2. Make sure your phone is on USB Debug mode: (MENU > Settings > Applications > http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifDevelopement > USB debugging = Checked )
3. You probably have the Samsung USB Drivers already installed. If your computer doesn’t recognize your phone when you plug it in via USB, try these Samsung drivers.
4. Extract the contents of the software you downloaded in step 1(GalaxyS_Vibrant_One-Click_Root.rar) to a folder.
5. Connect your phone to your PC via the USB cable and launch the file “T-Mobile Vibrant One-Click Root.exe” file. I checked the file for viruses. My tests came back clean.
6. Click the “One-Click Root” button. This will launch a command shell follow the instructions in the video.

Recovery of Files deleted during Fedora 15 Upgrade

Scenario:
The current system is currently using the Fedora 14 OS. Several files are existing in the /media/usrOSBak and /media/usrbak. These folders contains some .jpg, docs, xls, iso, exe and some other file types. The system was upgraded to Fedora 15 using the pre-upgrade. After the upgrade, the two folders were deleted during the install.

Recovery:
By using the testdisk for Linux, the folders may be recovered by the following steps
0. DO NOT USE THE LINUX PARTITION UNTIL YOU HAVE CONDUCTED THE RECOVERY OF THE FILES.
1. Download and unzip the testdisk into a Linux partition. DO NOT USE THE PARTITION WHERE YOU ARE RECOVERING THE FILES!. You may overwrite the files you are planning to recover. It would be best if you can use a usb drive formatted in Linux.
2. Sudo as root
3. Make the testdisk_static to executable by: # chmod a+x testdisk_static.
4. Run the testdisk by: # ./testdisk_static
5. Select a media -> Disk /dev/sda (where your Fedora 15 is now residing) -> Proceed
6. Please select the partition table type, press Enter when done.
Select the [Intel] Intel/PC partition and then press Enter
7. Disk /dev/sda - 500 GB / 465 GiB - CHS 60801 255 63
Select [Advanced] Filesystem Utils and press Enter
Select 3 P Linux [_Fedora-14-i686] and then use the left arrow to select [List] and press Enter
8. Use the down arrow key to go to the 'media' folder and press Enter.
9. Use the down arrow key to go to the 'OSBAK' folder and press c (lower case)
10. Select the destination to the mounted usb drive. DO NOT RESTORE INTO THE SAME PARTITION, USE AN EXTERNAL DRIVE!
11. Use the down arrow key to go to the 'usrbak' folder and press Enter.
12. Select the destination to the mounted usb drive. DO NOT RESTORE INTO THE SAME PARTITION, USE AN EXTERNAL DRIVE!
13. Verify that the files are not corrupted before using the Linux box again.

Note:
Try to upgrade next time using the yum option

If you are having the missing file error (file not found error), then run this fix:

You need to grab the flash_image file from the link in the description above, and put it in the root of the sdcard then:

Open your Teminal Emulator

Type the following:

SU (enter)

cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin/flash_image (enter)

chown root.shell /system/bin/flash_image (enter)

chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image (enter)

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (enter)

reboot recovery (enter)

Now ClockworkMod recovery should come up after reboot. You want to pick install zip from sdcard. Then pick the google apps zip file tell it yes to install, and once that is done go back and reboot system. Let me know if you run into any problems.

Installing Adobe Reader in Coby Kyros 7015

I'm using Adobe. I just went to
Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions
selected:
Android
English
Android X English for Android
then [Download now]
Use the USB to copy it to the MID7015 to /nand/ if you don't have an SD card or to /sdcard/ if you do.
Then use a file browser like FileBrowser by Jimmy Wahlberg - go to the file and click to open it. When it asks install? say Yes. Done.
Adobe's version is fine. It's faster and nicer than PDF Viewer, which I then uninstalled.

But still this MID7015 seems very slow compared to my three core desktop PC. - 1 core at 800 MHz vs. 3 cores at 2.8 GHz - not a fair comparison.

Edit:
I didn't try downloading it on the MID7015 - I guess I could have - I just tested it - works but now I have to find where the download was stored.
