How to make all the nessesary installatioNs without trouble

FIRST Deselecting updates in Live Update
Acer is still updating the system via Live Update, which is good. Not so good is that updates are mandatory and cannot be deselected. If you removed some applications they will be re-downloaded and re-installed whenever a patch is available for them. It is actually possible to untick updates, but only if they are marked as optional, and those are rare. Almost all of them are marked as critical. Fortunately the line below makes all updates optional. Alternatively you can also use a hex editor and edit offset 0xa950 instead.

Code:

sudo sed 's/Critical/00000AA1/;s/Optional/00000AA1/' -i.bak /usr/bin/onlineupdate 

AFTER THIS YOU CAN DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL VLC,VNC,PPTP,SKYPE AND ALL THA APPS WITHOUT ANY CONFLICTS...
Installing other packages with yum

If you want to install other packages with yum, a repository I can recommend is http://rpm.livna.org. You can add this repository by following these instructions. First, become root. You should be able to either do sudo su - and then entering the password for user, or just do su -, and entering the root-password (which I think is the same as for user):

Code:

$ sudo su -
# yum -y install yum-priorities

Open and edit the file /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf. Change vim to whatever editor you prefer (nano is one of the easier ones):

Code:

# vim /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf

Make the contents of the file look like so:

Code:

[main]
enabled = 1
check_obsoletes = 1

Save and close the file. Now finally, install this package and you should be set:

Code:

# rpm -Uvh [url]http://www.fedorafaq.org/f8/yum[/url]  [url]http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm[/url]

Removing the search-bar

Removing the search-bar is very simple as well. Open the file /usr/share/search-bar/start-search_bar.sh and comment out each line to make the content look like so:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#resolution=`xrandr |grep \*|awk '{print $1}'`
#resolution=`xrandr |grep current|awk -F"current" '{print $2}'|awk -F"," '{print $1}'|sed 's/\ //g'`
#
#if [ $resolution = "1280x800" ];then
#   acer-search-desktop --x=650 --y=90 --width=490 --height=31
#elif [ $resolution = "1024x600" ];then
#   acer-search-desktop --x=510 --y=65 --width=490 --height=31
#else
#   acer-search-desktop
#fi

WHEN INSTALLING VLC YOU LL HAVE TO DO 3 THINKS NOT TO HAVE DEPEDENCIES PROBLEM AND MISSING LIBRARIES

1.

Code:

sudo rpm -ivh [url]http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm[/url]

to install livina repos

2.

Code:

sudo yum install fedora-release

to fresh and fix all the mess!!!

3.You can then also remove the pre-installed media master and mplayer.

Code:

sudo yum remove pdvdlinux mplayer\*
sed /pcmmvp/d -i $HOME/.config/xfce4/desktop/group-app.xml
