Instalar F-Spot en Fedora 10 desde el source
Pueden descargar el software desde esta liga.
Para instalar f-spot 0.5.0.3 desde el fuente tienes que instalar algunas dependencias para la compilación.
Estos son los paquetes necesarios:
yum install mono-devel gtk-sharp2-devel gnome-sharp-devel libexif-devel libgphoto2-devel lcms gtk-sharp2-gapi ndesk-dbus-devel ndesk-dbus-glib-devel
Una vez instalados estos paquetes con sus dependencias, descomprimimos el paquete y comenzamos con la compilación.
[root@ecolinux Descargas]# tar -jxvf f-spot-0.5.0.3.tar.bz2
[root@ecolinux Descargas]# cd f-spot-0.5.0.3
[root@ecolinux f-spot-0.5.0.3]# ./configure
[root@ecolinux f-spot-0.5.0.3]# make
[root@ecolinux f-spot-0.5.0.3]# make install
Una vez hecho esto probamos que nuestra instalación haya sido exitosa:
[root@ecolinux f-spot-0.5.0.3]# f-spot
Es probable que te marque algunos errores durante la compilación o durante el make y es debido a que no encuentre algunas librerías, para lo cual es necesario exportar la siguiente variable:
[root@ecolinux f-spot-0.5.0.3]# export MONO_PATH=/usr/lib64/mono
[root@ecolinux f-spot-0.5.0.3]# ./configure
[root@ecolinux f-spot-0.5.0.3]# make
[root@ecolinux f-spot-0.5.0.3]# make install
[root@ecolinux f-spot-0.5.0.3]# f-spot
Y con esto quedaría solucionado el problema de las librerías y f-spot debería funcionar perfectamente.
Error when starting OpenOffice on Fedora 10
Hoy me decidí a instalar openoffice y los rpm's funcionaron bien pero al momento de iniciarlo desde el menú de gnome, simplemente no arrancaba.
Al leer el archivo README de la carpeta de instalación venía una variable que es necesario dejar en blanco.
Se agrega "unset SESSION_MANAGER" al archivo soffice que se encuentra dentro de la carpeta de instalación de openoffice, en mi caso "/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice".
Esto no solucionó el problema y había que hacer algo adicional.
Lo corrí desde la terminal y me dió el siguiente error:
[root@ecolinux readmes]# openoffice.org3
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libuno_sal.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
El problema está en que openoffice no encuentra algunas librerías y hay que hacer una liga a la ubicación donde se encuentran dichos archivos:
[root@ecolinux readmes]# cd /opt/openoffice.org/basis3.0
[root@ecolinux basis3.0]# mv ure-link ure-link.backup
[root@ecolinux basis3.0]# ln -s /usr/lib64/openoffice.org/ure ure-link
En mi caso es /usr/lib64 porque tengo instalado Fedora 10 de 64 bits y con eso se solucionó el problema.

Broadcom Wireless on Fedora 10
RPMs for the Broadcom 802.11 STA Wireless Driver are now available from the rpmfusion.org repos for Fedora 8, 9 and 10.
This is an official-release of Broadcom's IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n hybrid Linux device driver for use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4321-, and BCM4322-based hardware. This driver also supports the incorrectly identified BCM4328 chipset which is actually a BCM4321 or BCM4322 chipset.
Previously I explained how to build the Broadcom STA driver from source but now the installation and updates can all be taken care of using yum and the rpmfusion non-free repository. Just follow these two simple steps:
1) Enable the rpmfusion non-free repository.
The broadcom-wl and wl-kmod RPMs that we need are in the rpmfusion non-free repository which also requires the rpmfusion free repository. To enable these repos in Fedora simply do this:
su -c 'rpm -Uvh 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) Update and install the driver package
Now that you have the appropriate repository enabled, to install the driver package we first ensure that we have the latest updates and then install the "broadcom-wl" package which will bring with it the required "kmod-wl" package:
su -
yum update
yum install broadcom-wl 3) Make a couple of adjustments
At this stage you should reboot and provided you have Network Manager running (default setting for F10) it should detect your Broadcom wireless device and you should be able to connect to your wireless network.
If you're having problems then it is likely some conflict between Network Manager and the network service. To ensure that Network Manager can use the wireless go to System > Administration > Network and select the wireless device (if it's not there then this doesn't apply to you). Edit the device and check "Controlled by Network Manager" and "Activate device when computer starts". Close Network Configuration, save changes and then reboot.
You should also read the license and readme which are located in /usr/share/doc/broadcom-wl-5.10.27.6/
4) Enjoy your wireless!
That's all there is to it. At this stage you may need to reboot (if you didn't already) in order to enable the new driver and any new kernel that was installed during the update.
When future kernels are released a simple "yum update" command should install the new kernel and also pull in the updated Broadcom driver for that new kernel.
