Red Hat / Fedora :: Where Files Get Saved After Running RPM
Jul 20, 2009
I have downloaded the rpm file "rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm" from internet and tried to install this(VLC) on fedora 10 by running following commands:-
rpm -ivh rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
Then it showed me finishing installation. But I am not able to find out where it is installed? I am not able to use this software. From where I an get these details .... it is not showing me under the Applications----> Multimedia.

I have downloaded some files and saved them in one of my partition. But when i boot back from windows 7 those files were not visible. So i went back to fedora and found that the files are no longer there then i tested by saving some other files in the partitions and when checked through windows 7 those files are gone. they are not available anymore....i searched everywhere through both OS but couldnt find it.

I'm setting up a single stand-alone computer in my classroom to be used by my students at the school where I teach. I've installed Ubuntu, as it smashes Windoze out of the court every time.
I want the students to be able to log on to the computer using just one account: 'Student'. This computer will be attached to a printer so they can type up and print oOfice documents,web pages, etc. However, once they log out, I want any files they might have saved (such as a word processed document) to be removed/deleted from the account so that when another pupil logs on to the 'Student' account they start with a clean slate. I suppose you could call it a sort-of Kiosk account.
How can I get Ubuntu to clear any saved documents on log-out?

I just downloaded a file that ends with .Repo, I believe it's a repository file. How should I install this type of file and where/which directory it should be extracted or saved to?
My apology for being a suzee nubbee (Windoz refugee).

I've had a problem for a while-- when I save files on a USB stick in Ubuntu, then put it in a windows computer, it doesn't recognize the files. It only recognizes a video file that I have, but not the .doc files. The folders either don't appear or only appear as shortcuts.

I'm saving files onto my NTFS partition from Ubuntu (Karmic, dual boot with Vista Home), but, although the files appear to be there, they cannot be read. The error message is 'File not Found. Check the name and try again'. File appears under Windows Explorer and has a file size of 986K.

I have just had to reinstall my OS (Sabayon) onto a new and larger hard drive (dying old disk). I quickly saved all my old docs in /home on an external USB drive (formatted and then created an ext4 file system) before the swap and installation.
After getting the new disk running I connected the USB external disk. First I could not access the drive at all, but that seems to be fixed. Now I want to bring all my files back to my new /home folder but apparently they (especially the former MS Office .doc, .xls, etc files, not so much the OpenOffice files) are �read only� and I don't have permissions anymore. I am able to create directories on the external, and can move files back and forth, but don't seem to own many of them.Sabayon automatically mounted my external disk in /media/disk, rather than /mnt, so I've left that alone for now. After searching here and elsewhere for info, I tried a few things (below): For access I added a line to /etc/fstab:
Code:
/dev/sdb1 /media/disk ext4 noauto,rw 0 0
Here's what I've done to try and fix ownership already:
in /media I:
Code:
# chmod 775 disk
which gives output of:
Code:
media # ls -l
total 4
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 1 21:30 disk
[code]....
I'm not sure what the �total 4� refers to since there is only the one directory �disk� inside /media but I assume that's not part of this issue... Does adding umask=0 have anything to do with this, and if so where does that go?

I'm new to Fedora; been using it for just a few hours. I have Fedora 10 setup on a LiveUSB and it works great. However, any setting that I make or files I save are gone when I reboot. For instance, I change the mouse cursor speed and made a "Test" word doc and saved it to the desktop. Yet when I reboot, the "Test" file is gone and does not even show as a recent document and the mouse speed setting was set back to default.Am I missing something that need to be accomplished prier to the shutdown?

I'm running Fedora Laughlin 14 (that may be redundant, but I'm new to Linux still) and am trying to backup some files so I can wipe and start over with a partitioned drive. The thing is, I'm having trouble with Gnote. Where do these notes get saved? I found a post saying it was /home/user/.local/share/gnote/ but I can't seem to find this folder. Unless I'm going about it in all the wrong ways, it doesn't seem to exist. Is my only choice to c/p all the notes one by one into another file type, or is there yet hope for finding the folder they're saved in?

I'm having a problem with the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental, I bought a new monitor, Samsung 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor (B2430H) and my old monitor was a 24 inch too but with a different native resolution, my new monitors native resolution is 1680x1050 and I try to change the settings in the system settings/ display/ size&orientation area since the mesa drivers don't have a xorg.conf but my settings don't save after a reboot. Is there a config file for the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental where I can change these settings?

I have the problem that Fedora doesn't save my default applications.When I change it, it does work for some time, but when I reboot it's all gone. So every time I open Chrome I have to select "Make default browser" (very annoying). It doesn't save the default settings for specific extensions neither. For example when I open a .exe file it always open with Archive Manager now while I have selected Wine as default program for that.

I have been using Nautilus file browser in my fedora 11 desktop to browse Samba shares of our servers. Let me explain my problem.
We have two users test1 and test2 who can access Samba shares for downloading and uploading files.
test1 has read only access.
test2 has read/write access.
When I initially connected to the samba share through test1 user through Nautilus file browser I clicked on remember password.
But now when I try to access the share again, its not prompting for password. It is directly taking test1 user's password who doesn't have write access to share.
How to get the password window back to fill test2 username and password.?

Not sure if others have noticed this. When I go into sound settings, click the output tab, select the sound device I want to edit and change the bass levels etc, close the window and go back in all the settings are reset to default and no changes are saved.
If I leave the window open and make the changes they are reflected in VLC for example, but if I close the window it again resets to defaults and my Bass is back at Maximum....
Is this a BUG I should report or is there something I can download to get this configured elsewhere or to fix this issue? I seem to recall something similar in Fedora 14 that was fixed, but I cant remember how I did it now

I recently installed Fedora 14 KDE and NVIDIA proprietary driver for GeForce FX 5200. I'm able to change the resolution to 1920x1080 (Acer H213H 21.5" lcd monitor), but when I restart the box, I lose these settings and I have to fiddle with NVIDIA and KDE monitor settings until I get the settings back.
Here is my xorg.conf file:
Code:
Is this (in)correct? What else can I try in order to keep my resolution at 1920x1080? When I restart, it reverts to 640x480.
I didn't have this problem before installing NVIDIA driver, however, I had visual anomalies and slowness in video refresh/repaint whenever moving windows. I don't want to go back to that so I'd like to see how to permanently propagate my resolution settings through reboots of this box. I've search multiple forums with no relevant hits as far as I was able to discern.

After "yum install emacs" & "yum install emacs-ess", I was able to install emacs on my X86_64 running Fedora 10.
If I run one session of emacs everything works fine.
Once I start a second session and try to resize or move the emacs window, the system stops responding.

I have downloaded Firefox 45.0.1.
I put the unzipped contents into my home dir.
I ran fire fox 45.0.1 with no further action - without installing Firefox 45.0.1.
All that is needed to run Firefox 45.0.1 is in place from Ice weasel.
Question: Will there be any ill side-affects by using the files from Ice Weasel to run Firefox 45.0.1? Should I UN-install Ice Weasel and install Firefox 45.0.1?
One side-affect that I have observe is that I can not make Firefox my default. Every time I start Firefox 45.0.1, I get a pop up asking if I want to make this my default browser.
