Ironed out a few bugs.  Tested my F12 post-install setup scripts.  They work lovely.

Bug one: Nvidia driver causes pc to lock (hard lock) on X starting.

Fix -- add 'iommu=soft' to the grub kernel parameters line

Bug two: Bar key dont work at all

Fix -- somehow execute (I do it in GNOME's System->Preferences->Startup Applications) 'xmodmap -e "keycode 94 = backslash bar"

I will post my scripts later today or tonight when I clean them up.  Mostly, I have garnished alot of tips from the FedoraForum.org community and some stuff that I noticed myself needed odd work.  The Crossover and Cedega stuff is mine, most of the rest is cobbled from others.  

Happy Computing!

1) Create the plugins directory:

sudo mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins

2) Download the 64 Bit Adobe Flash File. I can give you a direct link to TODAYS available file.

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html

wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

3) Extract that tarball into the said directory we just created

sudo tar zxf libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz /opt/google/chrome/plugins/

4) Launch chrome with the plugins enabled flag

google-chrome --enable-plugins

5) Enjoy.  Validate the plugin is loaded by going to about:plugins in the url bar and hitting enter/return.  You should see a section near the top (mine has it as the top section) titled "Shockwave Flash" and containing the following text

File name: libflashplayer.so

Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45

If you have that, you are golden and flash should play fine.  Visit youtube or another flash heavy site for a quick validation to verify that it works.

All the linux information will remain in the "Linux Resources" section, and once I decide whats going on with my OBSD usage and information, I will either redo the howto (bigger, badder, and with photos & movies) or just ignore it and leave it for those that want it still.

Aside from the scripts that i am working on and in a few cases collecting, those will go up by latest next weekend in the entirety.  These are for Fedora, although should work mostly for CentOS/RHEL as well in most cases.  Those that find an issue first, please contact me so I can fix it.  Eventually this will be encompassed in an aid tool that will implement or unimplement features via a wxPython GUI.

Any requests please email me (andrew AT schotty DOT com). 

Yes, I am still alive.  I have been having a blast (sarcasm tag in full bore mode) dealing with some of the quirks of Ubuntu and MacOS X 10.6.  Needless to say, my comfort level says "Screw it, back to Red Hat products".  And thats how it is going.  Redid my MacBook and Asus G51.  The MacBook is where I want it, the gamers' rig is nearly there.  I have some scripts I have made that when cleaned up and validated in a VM, I will post.  The scripts are for 64 Bit Fedora 12 only at this time, but if there is enough of a demand I can do more revsions and architectures.  Although, for the bulk of it, its a 64vs32 bit thing, and the scripts are to make certain things work that are a pain on 64 but not an issue on 32 bit.

I will post back over the next few days my scripts.

I will eventually get a theme that suits me better, but this is what I could dig up in a few moments of searching.

Thanks for your patience.
