Fedora 10 installation issues

[Miguel Angel Perez]

Hi,

Have you installed nvidia propietary binary drivers?
Without them you won't be able to get the full set of features of your card.

You need to enable an extra repository called rpmfusion and install the
nvidia drivers from there:

# yum install rpmfusion-free-release
# yum install rpmfusion-nonfree-release
# yum search nvidia

Look for the driver and then install it:

# yum install [driverName]

If you do so you should restart the X server getting out of the session and
log again.

For the sound problem i don't know what is happening, but you should go to
System -> Preferences ->Hardware ->Sound
 and push the test button. If it works maybe you are trying to play music in
a proprietary format (mp3, wmv) and then you need
to install non free audio plugins.

Then you should do this:
# yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly

After that you should be able to play mp3 files if the problem where the
codecs.

Hope this helps.
