Fedora by default only supports free software, which is awsome.. but if you have some music in a non-free or non-OSS codec, you still want to play it.. if your using Amarok then just:
sudo yum install xine-lib-extras-freeworld
NOTE: The above package isn’t available in the default Fedora repositories, it requires the RPMFusion repos!
This is a simple post, I’ve been benchmarking some MySQL storage engines at work, and sometimes from the command line I want to make sure I know what storage engine I’m using. Its actually very easy, but for some reason I keep forgetting the command. This post is for memory sake.
mysql> show table status;
or
mysql> show create table <table name>;
I know, I know, most Fedora users probably are giving me the evil eye as they read this, but I find this tip useful when something on my desktop machine isn’t behaving properly and I want to see if it’s SELinux causing the behaviour, or if I want to stop the security for I one time only test.
For example, when migrating some of our unit tests, some virus scanning unit tests were failing, as this was a test I don’t run on my Desktop except on this occasion, it was simply easier to disable SELinux while I run the test.. it ran fine, so I could turn it back on, and tick it off my list.
By disable I actually mean put SELinux into passive mode, which allows everything, but still logs problems.
Anyway, to temporarily disable SELinux as root run one of these:
echo 0 > /selinux/enforce
setenforce 0
To re-enable it simply echo 1:
echo 1 > /selinux/enforce
setenforce 1
