The FAQ

About Fedora

Q: What is this Fedora Core 4 thing?

A: First, read the official Fedora page a bit. Now, i'll give you a summary. You can think of Fedora Core 4 as something like "Red Hat Linux 13," except it differs from the old Red Hat Linux in the following ways:

It's a community-supported project. That means that you can be involved in creating Fedora Core, if you want.
A new version of Fedora Core comes out every six months.
When a new version comes out, the previous version becomes unsupported after another 6 - 8 months.

This means upgrading your OS every 6 - 8 months. The upgrades are usually very easy, much like Red Hat Linux 8 - Red Hat Linux 9. The easiness is not guaranteed.

If you don't want to upgrade every 6 - 8 months, there is something called the Fedora Legacy Project. They provide security patches for each version of Fedora for an additional 1 1/2 years after the Fedora Project stops their support.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is based on Fedora Core, so if you want to learn a little about RHEL for free, use Fedora Core.

Q: What is the difference between Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux?

A: Red Hat Enterprise Linux is officially supported by Red Hat for 7 years. It's a better choice if you're running important machines in production, and you don't want to upgrade your OS all the time. It also has many nice features that are useful if you are running more than a few servers.

Also, you can (sometimes) actually call Red Hat and get support for RHEL, which you will never be able to do for Fedora.

Fedora is distributed for free, and RHEL costs money.

Fedora is also much more cutting-edge than RHEL is, and Fedora has a larger community of users willing to help out and give free support (like this web page).

Red Hat also has a cool page that answers this question.

Q: Is it unstable?

A: No!

Q: Has it been released?

Yes! Fedora Core 4 was released on June 13, 2005. To see when new versions of Fedora are going to be released, you can look at the release schedule.

(Thanks to many FAQ readers who pointed out a typo in this question!)

Q: Where can I find a list of all the programs that come with Fedora Core 4 (a package list)?

A: There's a list of the main Core 4 packages over at the Distrowatch Fedora Page.

Q: When is the next version of Fedora coming out?

A: A new version of Fedora is released every 6 - 8 months. Specific dates are usually in the Release Schedule.

(Thanks to Tom Van Vleck for suggesting this question.)

Q: What are the Fedora Extras?

A: The "Fedora Extras" are a set of software packages supported by the Fedora Project, but they are not distributed with Fedora Core.

You can read more about them on the official Fedora Extras site.

To install a piece of software from Fedora Extras, just see the question about installing software.

Installing Fedora

Q: Where do I get it?

A: Normal Download or BitTorrent. You probably want the "binary" or "i386" version, not the "source" or "SRPM" version.

If you don't want to download the CDs, you can buy them from an official vendor. (Thanks to Beartooth for pointing out that not everybody can easily download CDs, and to Jef Spaleta for the vendor link.)

Q: Can I install on ReiserFS, JFS, or XFS? (Updated 7 May 2005)

A: Yes, you can install Fedora on ReiserFS, JFS, or XFS.

None of these file systems are officially supported by the Fedora Project. (That means that you can use them, but you won't find a lot of official help from the Fedora Project if things go wrong.)

At the installer prompt, type this for ReiserFS:

Subscribe to The Insider

linux selinux=0 reiserfs

or this for JFS:

linux selinux=0 jfs

or this for XFS:

linux xfs

NOTE: You cannot use SELinux on ReiserFS or JFS. XFS is OK. (If you don't know what SELinux is, you can ignore this warning.)

(Thanks to whiprush [quoting Jesse Keating] for this. Thanks to Kai Thomsen for catching an important typo. Thanks to Colin Charles for the XFS part and the SELinux warning.)

Q: Can Fedora run on a 64-bit (AMD-64 or Intel EM64T) computer?

A: Yes, it can! A 64-bit version of Fedora Core 4 is currently available to download. See the question about getting Fedora.

You can also run the normal 32-bit version of Fedora on your 64-bit computer.

(Thanks to David Faustini and John P. Kole for finding typos in this question.)

Q: Can I run Fedora on a Mac (PowerPC)?

A: Yes, you can! A PowerPC version of Fedora Core 4 is currently available to download. See the question about getting Fedora. You want the "ppc" version, when you go to the download page.

Q: Where is the floppy disk install image for Fedora Core 4? (Updated 29 November 2005)

A: Normally, you can't install Fedora from your floppy drive, because the new 2.6 kernel in Fedora is too big to fit on a floppy.

If you have no CD-ROM drive at all, there is a way to start the Fedora Core installer using several floppies.

If you have a CD-ROM drive, but you can't boot from it, you can use Smart Boot Manager to work around that.

(Thanks to Mohan Embar and many others for the info on the floppy install! Thanks to Charles Curley for reminding me about Smart Boot Manager.)

Using Fedora and Installing Software

Q: Where can I get software for Fedora? (Updated 25 July 2005)

A: There are a few "repositories" (sites that hold software). The primary sites are the highly unofficial rpm.livna.org (for packages with licensing or USA patent problems) and the official Fedora Extras. They hold different software.

For an alternate choice, look at RPMForge. There are some packages in RPMForge that aren't in Extras or livna.org. You can see the list of available packages on the "Mega-Merge" page.

To search for software in all the major repositories, use the FedoraTracker search engine or rpm.pbone.net.

Q: How do I install software for Fedora? (How to use yum or an RPM) (Updated 3 February 2006)

A: The easiest way to install software in Fedora is to use yum.

Linux Made Simple

Configuring Yum

Here's how to configure your yum:

Open a Terminal.
Become root:
su -
Run these commands to remove your yum.conf file and replace it with a fresh one (Updated 29 July 2005):
cd /etc
mv -f yum.conf yum.conf.bak
wget http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc4/samples/yum.conf
Now, install my yum configuration (Updated 3 February 2006), using this command:
rpm -Uvh http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc4/yum

NOTE: The yum configuration provided here is updated from time to time, for various reasons.

Using Yum

To use yum, open a terminal, become root, and then you can use the following commands:

To see a list of available software:
yum list available
To install some software, you type:
yum install packagename
To update some software, you type:
yum update packagename

If you leave out "packagename" yum will update all your software.
To see what updates are available, you can do:
yum check-update
To search for a package, you can do:
yum search word

For more info about yum, see the yum project page. (Thanks to Ron Kuris for this tip.)

To get yum through a proxy, see the FedoraForum thread about yum and proxies. (Thanks to Reinhard Herzfeld for that link.)

Installing Software Without Yum

To install an RPM file that you downloaded outside of yum, open up a terminal, and as root do:

rpm -Uvh filename.rpm

Q: Is there a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for yum?

A: Yes! It's called Yum Extender.

You can install it with yum:

Open a Terminal.
Become root:
su -
Install yumex:
yum install yumex

Now you can access Yum Extender in the Applications menu, under "System Tools."

Q: Is there anything like apt for Fedora? (Updated 28 November 2005)

A: APT is a program for Debian Linux that installs not only the software you specify, but also all of that software's dependencies. It makes installing software much easier.

There is a piece of software like this for Fedora, that comes in the standard Fedora Core installation. It's called yum. It can automatically download and install a program and all of its dependencies, with just one command. I even provide a special configuration that I use for yum on my computer, in the question where I explain how to use yum.

There used to be a version of apt specifically for Fedora. However, there was very little interest in it, so it is no longer provided. Just use yum instead.

Q: Does up2date still work?

A: Yes, but it no longer uses the Red Hat Network (RHN). (It still downloads from the Red Hat servers, you just can't use the features of the Red Hat Network.)

However, with Fedora, it's better to use yum to get updates, instead of up2date.

Q: How do I install Java? (Updated 3 February 2006)

A: For Java programmers, Fedora Core 4 actually comes with a Java compiler called gcj.

However, if you want to do things like use Java programs in your web browser, you'll need to build your own RPM using the JPackage.org Java Package:

Linux Made Simple

Make sure that you're using my yum configuration from the installing software question.
Download Sun's Java Software Development Kit Version 5.0 Update 6 (also called the "JDK 5.0 Update 6"). Choose the "Linux self-extracting file" version (not the RPM version).
Open a Terminal.
You should have the Java Software Development Kit in your home directory. It is a file whose name looks like:
jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin

To see the exact name of the file, you can do:

ls jdk-*
Become root:
su -
Change back to your home directory (instead of root's home directory):
cd ~username

Where "username" is your normal username.
Make sure the "rpm-build" package is installed:
yum install rpm-build
Move the JDK to the RPM Building Source directory:
mv jdk-* /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
Download the JPackage Java 1.5.0.06 Source RPM. Click on the link that looks something like "java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.06-1jpp.nosrc.rpm." Then, on the next page, pick where you want to download the file from. This should download the package to your home directory.
Go back to the same root terminal you were in before. Build the Java RPM (using the file that you just downloaded):
rpmbuild --rebuild java-1.5.0-sun*src.rpm
This will create a bunch of RPMs in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i586/. You can install them by doing:
yum -y localinstall /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i586/java-1.5.0-sun-*
Now you want to enable the Java plugin for your web browser:
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
And make sure that the old X11 libraries are installed, or Java will crash your web browser:
yum install xorg-x11-deprecated-libs

Java should now be installed and working properly! You may need to log out and then log in again for some things to work properly.

(Thanks to Kai Thomsen for noting that you only have to login-logout, not reboot. Thanks to many, many people for reminding me about the final step, and the correct link for the jpackage.org SRPM. Thakns to Paul D. Brown for getting me the direct link to the correct JDK version!)

Q: How can I install Flash in my web browser?

Make sure that you're using my yum configuration from the installing software question.
Open a Terminal.
Become root:
su -
Type:
yum --enablerepo=flash install flash-plugin

If you have any questions, see the Flash Plugin FAQ! (Thanks to Warren Togami for that link.)

(Thanks to various IRC folks and vegan_linuxguy for troubleshooting this. Thanks to "m d," David Ball, and others for pointing out an important typo in this question! Thanks to David Jansen for letting me know that you no longer need libstdc++-compat for the new Flash plugin.)

Q: How can I see PDF files inside my browser?

The Adobe Acrobat Reader for Linux now works inside of your web browser:

Download Adobe Acrobat Reader for Linux.
Choose to save it to your disk, instead of opening it.
Open a Terminal.
Become root:
su -
Change to the directory where you downloaded the file:
cd ~username/Desktop/

Where "username" is your normal username.
Install the package and any other packages it requires:
yum localinstall AdobeReader*
And remove the package you downloaded, because you no longer need it:
rm AdobeReader*
Install the plugin into the web browser:
ln -s /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

Now close your web browser, and the next time you start it, you will be able to see PDF files inside your web browser!

(Thanks to Richard Lloyd and many others for letting me know about this! Thanks to John Boyd for pointing out a really important typo.)

Q: How can I watch movies in my web browser? (Updated 7 May 2005)

A: Just install the mplayer plug-in:

Make sure that you're using my yum configuration from the installing software question.
Open a Terminal.
Become root:
su -
Install the plug-in:
yum install mplayerplug-in
Close all the windows of your web browser and then open it again.

Now, you can see movies on web sites!

NOTE: If you install a new version of your web browser you may have to run this process again.

You might also want to install the various Windows movie decoders. Note that there may be some legal issues with these decoders. You can install them by:

Make sure that you're using my yum configuration from the installing software question.
Open a Terminal.
Become root:
su -
Install the package of decoders:
yum --enablerepo=atrpms install w32codec

(Thanks to Sindre for writing the original text for this question, and suggesting the w32codec part.)

Q: Can I use MSN Messenger/AIM/ICQ/Yahoo instant messaging in Fedora?

A: Yes, Fedora comes with an instant messaging program called Gaim. When you use gaim, you can use MSN Messenger, ICQ, AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, and Jabber, all at the same time.

To start Gaim, click on the "Red Hat" menu, go to "Internet," and choose "IM." (Instead of "IM," sometimes it is called "Internet Messenger.")

See the Gaim documentation for information about how to set up gaim with you IM accounts.

(Thanks to Peter Lawler for letting me know that "Gaim" isn't all caps. And Thomas Winwood for letting me know that the first letter is capitalized.)

Q: How do I install fonts? Can I use Windows (.ttf) fonts? (Updated 5 February 2006)

A: Yes, you can. Here's how you install fonts:

Under the "Desktop" menu in the tray (the "Desktop" menu may also be under your "red hat" menu), choose "Preferences" and then "Font."
Click on the "Details..." button.
Click on "Go to font folder."

Now simply drag & drop your fonts into the "Fonts" window to add them. You may have to log out and log in again to see them actually show up in that folder.

If you have any programs open, you will need to close then and then open them again, to have the new fonts show up in those programs.

If your fonts still don't show up immediately in your programs, you may have to reload the X Font Server:

Open a Terminal.
Become root:
su -
Type:
service xfs reload

By the way, there's also a very easy way to install all of the common Windows fonts on Linux. This can sometimes make web pages display more nicely:

Open a Terminal.
Become root.
Install the Microsoft Core Fonts:
rpm -Uvh http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/files/msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.rpm

(Thanks to David A. Wheeler and others for convincing me to add the MS Core Fonts instructions.)

Q: Where can I get drivers for my hardware for Fedora?

A: Dag Wieers provides an awesome set of drivers for Fedora, for all sorts of hardware. All the packages whose names start with "kernel-module" are drivers. Just download the appropriate version of the driver you need, for your kernel. If you want to find out what kernel you're running, you can open a terminal and type:

uname -r

NOTE: You must download and install a new version of your driver every time you install a new kernel.

If you don't find what you need at Dag's site, try Googling for:

Fedora NameOfHardware

or:

Linux NameOfHardware

Where NameOfHardware is the normal name of your hardware. If it has more than one name, keep trying different ones until you get a result.

Q: How do I play MP3s in Fedora?

A: Before I talk about this, you should know: In the United States and some other countries, you may have to pay patent royalties to use MP3 players or encoders. However, for home users, there is no legal problem with MP3 players. (Thanks to Doug McClean for clearing that up for me!)

With that said, the plugins for these things are usually in the rpm.livna.org repository. You install a different package depending on which Fedora MP3 player you want to use. If you're not sure which one to pick, Rhythmbox is the standard. It's in the "Applications" menu, under "Sound & Video" -- it's called "Music Player."

Here's how to install the correct MP3 plugin:

Make sure that you're using my yum configuration from the installing software question.
Open a Terminal.
Become root:
su -
Now, install the correct plugin depending on which MP3 player you want to use:
- For Rhythmbox or Totem:
  yum install gstreamer-plugins-mp3
- For XMMS:
  yum install xmms-mp3
- For KDE MP3 players, like Noatun or Juk:
  yum install kdemultimedia-extras

Now you should be able to play MP3s your favorite Fedora MP3 player!

Q: How do I read my NTFS (Windows NT/2000/XP/2003) drive in Fedora? (Updated 25 July 2005)

A: Well, now, that's an easy one! You just have to install the NTFS kernel module for your kernel:

Make sure that you're using my yum configuration from the installing software question.
Open a Terminal.
Become root:
su -
Type:
yum install kernel-module-ntfs-$(uname -r)

Now you can read your NTFS drives! Unfortunately, you cannot write to them, though.

NOTE: You will have to re-run the above steps every time you install a new kernel, after you reboot with the new kernel.

For information on how to use your NTFS drive, you can read the NTFS FAQ.

Q: How do I edit the menus in the panel? (Updated 28 November 2005)

A: You can use a program called Alacarte Menu Editor.

Open a Terminal.
Become root:
su -
Install alacarte:
yum install alacarte

Now, under "Accessories" in the "red hat" menu, there will be an entry called "Alacarte Menu Editor!"

For KDE users, there is a program called kmenuedit that you can run to edit the menu.

(Thanks to Conor O'Neill for telling me about SMEG/Alacarte! Thanks to Dawid Gajownik for letting me know that it is now in Extras.)

Q: How do I get Wine to work? (Updated 5 February 2006)

A: Wine is a way of running some Windows programs on Linux. It's available from Fedora Extras:

Open a Terminal.
Become root:
su -
Install wine:
yum install wine

(Thanks to Stewart Adam for letting me know Wine was in Extras.

Problems and Their Solutions

Q: The update servers hosted by Red Hat are slow! What can I do?

A: First, you should use yum. Second, use my yum configuration from this FAQ -- it uses mirrors to speed things up a lot. (See the question about installing software if you need some help with yum.)

If you really want to use up2date, you can see Alexander Dalloz's great article. It will show you how to configure your up2date to use mirrors.

Q: I get a NOKEY warning from RPM, or I get a gpg signature error when using Apt / Yum / up2date! (Updated 27 July 2005)

A: The NOKEY warning is not really a problem. It won't prevent you from doing anything. (The Apt / yum / up2date error, though, will usually prevent you from installing software.)

If you'd like to resolve it, do the following command to get the correct key for the site you're downloading from:

You must be root to do any of this.

Q: How do I enable 3D support for my ATI Radeon card in Fedora Core 4? (Updated 7 May 2005)

A: There are now ATI driver RPMs provided by livna.org that are designed especially for Fedora.

NOTE: If you have nVidia drivers installed, you must un-install them before installing these ATI drivers. (Thanks to Ajay for telling me this!)

If you're using yum with our configuration, you can install the drivers just by typing:

yum install ati-fglrx kernel-module-fglrx-$(uname -r)

That installs the ATI driver for your current kernel, and it should become active the next time you reboot your machine.

If you update your kernel, make sure that you install the newest ATI driver before you start the new kernel. To install the driver in your new kernel before you restart, you have to do:

yum install kernel-module-fglrx-$(rpm -q --queryformat="%{version}-%{release}\n" kernel | tail -n 1)

(That's actually just a fancy way of getting the version number of your latest kernel.)

If you have an Intel motherboard, you will have to modify your xorg.conf file after installing the drivers:

Open a Terminal.
Become root:
su -
Open the xorg.conf file in a text editor:
gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Find the line that looks like:
Driver "fglrx"
Add the following line right below it:
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
Save the file, and reboot your computer.

(Thanks to Anton Andreev for telling me about that Intel thing.)

If you have any trouble with the livna.org RPMs, please report a bug to the Livna.org Bugzilla.

If you encounter a bug in the ATI driver, please report it using the ATI Feedback Form!

(Thanks to everybody who reminded me and encouraged me to update the FAQ with this information! Thanks to Peter Lawler for a lot of help with this question. Thanks to Sindre for writing the original instructions.)

Q: How do I enable 3D support for my nVidia graphics card in Fedora Core 4?

Save Hours On Questions Not In the FAQ!
Subscribe to The Insider

There are now nVidia driver RPMs provided by livna.org that are designed especially for Fedora. If you're using yum, and you're using my yum configuration, you should be able to install the drivers easily:

Open a Terminal.
Become root:
su -
Type:
yum install nvidia-glx kernel-module-nvidia-$(uname -r)

That installs the nVidia driver for your current kernel.

If you update your kernel, make sure that you install the newest nVidia driver before you start the new kernel. Here's a shortcut command that you can type in the terminal as root that makes installing the new driver easy:

yum install kernel-module-nvidia-$(rpm -q --queryformat="%{version}-%{release}\n" kernel | tail -n 1)

(That's actually just a fancy way of getting the version number of your latest kernel.)

If you need support for the nVidia drivers, check out the nV News "Linux and nVidia Graphics" forum. (Thanks to Exile in Paradise for this tip.)

If you have any trouble with the livna.org RPMs, see the alternate instructions.

(Thanks to Jeff Spaleta for letting me know that the RPMs had been released.)

Q: The installer's media check says all my CDs are bad!

A: There is a bug in the kernel which causes the media check to say some CDs are bad when they are not, on some systems. To do a successful media check, do the following:

At the installer prompt, type:
linux mediacheck ide=nodma
Run the media check on your CDs/DVD.
Reboot, and run the installer normally.

Note that sometimes mediacheck will report that only some CDs are bad, but this will still fix that problem. (Thanks to Tony Nelson for reminding me of that!)

Q: I have strange installation problems. (Updated 5 February 2006)

A: If your installation doesn't work, or you have problems during or after installation, first read the latest Release Notes.

Also, the Fedora Project provides a detailed installation guide if you'd like any other help while installing.

If the Release Notes and Installation Guide don't have a solution for your problem, try booting the installer with one of the following commands:

linux ide=nodma

linux acpi=off

linux i8042.nomux

linux acpi=off apm=off

linux nofb

The "i8042.nomux" is especially helpful if you have keyboard or mouse problems, and the "nofb" is helpful if you have video problems.

If any of those commands fixes your problem, please file a bug in Red Hat's Bugzilla.

(Thanks to Alan Cox for most of this information, and to Nilanjan Lahiri for the nofb one.)

Q: How do I make all my folders open in the same window, in Nautilus?

A: If you want to set the file manager so that it doesn't open a new window for each folder, you can follow these steps:

Double-click on the "Computer" icon on your desktop.
Go to the "Edit" menu and choose "Preferences."
Click on the "Behavior" tab.
Put a check in the box marked "Always open in browser windows."

(Thanks to Eugéne Roux for this method of doing it! And thanks to Raivis Dejus for a better phrasing of the question.)

Q: I can't access my Windows network shares anymore! People tell me to use the smbmount command, but it doesn't work!

A: Fedora Core 4 uses a cool new type of Windows file sharing called "The Common Internet File System" (CIFS). Instead of using "smbmount", try:

mount -t cifs //computername/share /mnt/somedirectory

For more information about this, in a terminal you can do:

man mount.cifs

Q: How to I make numlock be on by default when I start my computer?

A: If you want numlock to be on whenever you start X (the graphical mode of Fedora):

Open a Terminal.
Become root:
su -
Install the "numlockx" program:
yum install numlockx

Now numlock will be on every time you start X.

If you want numlock on by default you're in text mode:

Open a Terminal.
Become root:
su -
Install the "kbd" package:
yum install kbd
Edit the /etc/rc.local file:
nano /etc/rc.local
Find the line that looks like:
touch /var/lock/subsys/local

Right below that line, put these lines:

LEDTTY=/dev/tty[1-8]
for tty in $LEDTTY; do
setleds -D +num < $tty
done
Save the file, and the next time you restart your computer, numlock will be on in text mode!
