Wondering how to make skype work with your fresh installation of fedora 64bit? Here's how:
First, you must install rpmfusion.org's repository. You can find the howto here:
Next, you need to run the following commands:
sudo yum install libXv.i686 \
libXScrnSaver.i686 \
qt-4.6.3-8.fc13.i686 \
qt-x11-4.6.3-8.fc13.i686
Afterwhich, you can now go to and download Skype.
After downloading, install it:
rpm -ivh skype-2.1.0.81-fc10.i586.rpm
And then run skype from your menu.
Moved from Ubuntu 10.04 to Fedora Core 13. Reason: all my LPI Manuals uses CentOS as main distribution, as I can't use that on my laptop, I used Fedora instead.
So far, everything had been working fine. I edited
/etc/usb_modeswitch.conf
and placed the following lines to the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/15-huawei.conf
to enable my Globe Tattoo:
# My Tattoo!!!
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1",
SYSFS{idProduct}=="1446",
RUN+="/usr/bin/usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf"
Nothing could have been simpler. Also, my sister brought the PS2 from home to my place so I could play the whole time it's here.
