Package:eb; It seems like I need deb support in perl? Anyone know what package?

I installed flash-plugin from the Adobe i386 yum repo and nspluginwrapper

The alien Wx widgets? the rpm installs fine for me.

Uhm, no. alien, the package converter

Crap…..Should I install 64 Fedora?

Maybe.

any more ideas? I hate it when a perfectly working setup stops working after an upgrade

nirik, that is to hard for me

I find it interesting that alien installs RPMs on Debian-based systems and installs DEBs on Red Hat-based systems.

no worries. I will try and find time to package that… or find someone who will…

well it’s whatever you want to use. If you want to use 32-bit fedora linux (nothing much takes advantage of Athlon64s to be honest), keep using it.

multimedia apps make good use of amd64

Folding at home takes advantage of it. The SMB client scores a considerable number of points than two 32 bit clients.

ahh, I see your point.
do you *use* folding@home?

nirik, no need to any more, ill just compile the source

But I’ll probably not do another install since I would feel bad for wasting a crap load more Fedora-mirror bandwidth

what with all the extra registers and long ints

ok, but I wouldn’t mind having that available, just short on time.

use it? I run it as a service.

sorry, what?

ahh. okay.

I guess I didn’t understand your question. Folding@home is a client app, that the user really doesn’t “use”. You just donate spare cpu cycles.

Rathann, did you install japanese language support?

just saying that I will probibly package that up, but I haven’t had time to do so… so yes, you should just compile from source for now…

when i hold the source, i can remove it later on?

Rathann, I mean, some scim package may be missing?

hm
like which one? I have scim, scim-libs, scim-anthy and anthy

Rathann, “yum list installed scim\*” outputs these on my box: scim, scim-anthy, scim-bridge, scim-bridge-gtk, scim-libs, scim-m17n

hm
I don’t have some of those

What is fedora 7.9
is F8 almost ready?

7.9 = current development tree

a gtk tutorial to start with ?… i know c

7.9 seems like a pretty advanced number. I would expect 7.1 about now. Doesn’t 7.9 mean every major feature of 8 is implemented and they’re just refining?

f8 test 1 is due out tomorrow hopefully.

Dang it, I just installed F7 today.

no, they start the tests numbering like that…

perlmonkey3, test1 isn’t worth installing

test1 is the first very alpha test.

Right, I understand. But that means that F8 will be here in a few months.

Hello – can anyone point me to a non-yum-centric kernel rebuild how-to?

What’s the point of installing an OS that will be outdated in 12 weeks.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Schedule
fedora is on a 6 month cycle. Releases are about every 6 months.

I installed the missing packages and restarted scim, still no good

I can’t believe I just installed F7, updated it, customized it; and now I’m downloading F7-64. I feel like a retard.

why? whats the problem?

perlmonkey3, I was doing the same, but I decided to wait until F8 and then go 64-bit

Yeah, I’ll just do that. It was a 600 meg download of updates, that I’d have to repeat. And all I would gain is faster Folding@home and less CPU usage on video/audio :p

daMaestro; i’m sort-of confused here. it says the respin has updates but doesn’t really say what they are… http://fedoraunity.org/news-archives/fedora-core-6-re-spin-20070401-released where do i look?
