CHAPTER 9: ECLIPSE
Do not install the native Eclipse from CentOs – Helios 3.6.1. is way too old. Get Indigo 3.7 from the Eclipse’s web site. Chose the Enterprise version (EE). Put the ‘eclipse‘ directory in a suitable place like ‘/opt‘.
There is no desktop file or icon; you add Eclipse to your menu using Gnome’s menu editor. You can get an icon from the original RPMs or google for ‘eclipse.png’, then resize to 32×32 and put in /usr/share/icons as eclipse.png
CHAPTER 10: COMPIZ
To enable (beautiful) desktop effects:
- Install the two RPMFusion repositories and the EPEL repository: http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/6/i386/rpmfusion-free-release-6-1.noarch.rpm
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/updates/6/i386/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-6-1.noarch.rpm
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repoview/ - Install compiz and CCSM: as super-user, ‘yum install compiz ccsm desktop-effects‘
- Install gconf-editor: as super-user, ‘yum install gconf-editor‘
- Open System -> Configuration Editor, press Ctrl+F and go to apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options, edit the key active_plugins and add new named ‘ccp‘.
- Enable desktop effects from System -> Preferences
You can use CCSM to configure the plugins to your liking; you can also install Compiz Extra and/or Emerald for more compiz eye candies.
CHAPTER 11: ACCESSING BITLOCKER WINDOWS PARTITION
- Get Disloker: ‘wget http://www.hsc.fr/ressources/outils/dislocker/download/dislocker.tar.gz‘
- as super-user, ‘yum install fuse-devel’
- Compile: ./configure && make
- Install: as super-user, ‘make install‘
- Run: see ‘man dislocker‘ for detail; you’ll need the recovery key.
CHAPTER 12: FIXING USB HEADPHONES
Your USB headphone will work out-of-the-box, but being a second sound card it will not become preferred one when plugged in. To cure this:
- Get this nice script, then save as ‘/usr/local/bin/usb-headset.sh’ and chmod it to 755: https://gist.github.com/ef4/2075048
- Change the INPUT and OUTPUT line on the beginning of it to match your headset, e.g.:
OUTPUT=”alsa_output.usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Headset-00-Headset.analog-stereo”
INPUT=”alsa_input.usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Headset-00-Headset.analog-mono” - Create a file ‘/etc/udev/rules.d/85-usb-headset.rules‘ with the following line inside:
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, ATTR{idProduct}==”0a0b”, ACTION==”add”, RUN+=”/usr/local/bin/usb-headset.sh –fork”
