COME UTILIZZARE YUM PER AGGIORNARE LINUX NEW!


 

Chi usa Linux si sarà sicuramente trovato, ad un certo punto, ad aver bisogno di installare programmi e applicazioni mancanti sul prorpio sistema, oppure a dover aggiornare quelli che già possiede.

Nonostante per fare queste operazioni ci siano più modi, il più semplice ed immediato rimane l'uso di YUM tramite la shell, uno strumento che si trova in DISTRO quali Fedora e simili (per chi utilizza Debian, Ubuntu e simili non abbiate paura perchè per voi c'è un applicazione del tutto simile, di nome APT-GET che affronteremo a breve...)

Basterà indicare a YUM l'applicazione che vogliamo installare o aggiornare e lui lo cercherà in internet su tutti i REPOSITORY(i quali altro non sono che SITI-DEPOSITO che hanno quel file in formato "pacchettizato") per poi scaricarlo ed installarlo con tutte le relative DIPENDENZE di cui necessita in modo del tutto automatico.

Una volta provato, non vorrete installare più nulla su Linux con altri metodi...

Ma attenzione perchè non tutte le applicazioni sono presenti sui REPOSITORY, specialmente se sono una novità, in quanto la pacchettizzazione dei file viene effettuata da volontari che hanno la pazienza e competenza per farlo!

Ma vediamo velocemente come utilizzare questo meraviglioso strumento...

 BLUETOOTH ON LINUX WITH BLUEZ
 


   
Technology goes forward and we can not stay and watch without exploiting the potential that it offers.
For many years we have been submerged by electrical cables, one for each device that was attached to our computer.
Then someone thought to use radio waves to carry data from one device to another.
From that moment were born many ways to exploit this technology, among which we can remember:


  •      GSM / GPRS / UMTS / HDSPA FOR MOBILE PHONES;
  •      WI-FI FOR NETWORKS;
  •      BLUETOOTH FOR DATA TRANSPORT BETWEEN ELECTRONIC DEVICES.

Today we focus on the last one and we will see quickly how to exploit it on Linux for connection between computer and phone.
The software (free of course) that allows us to do this is called BLUEZ.

 HOW TO HAVE MOZILLA FIREFOX ALWAYS ONLINE NEW!




When we connect to the Internet with alternative methods to Network Manager, like Bluetooth, Firefox does not go "ONLINE" automatically at startup.
This is a bug already known for some time in the community of Firefox and that seems for the moment, still a bit undervalued.
The problem is due to the fact that Firefox start itself in "Online" mode or "Offline" mode, after checked the status of the connection through Network Manager.
Now, it's easy to understand that using an alternative connection, Firefox will find Network Manager disconnected and will start in "Offline" mode.
To solve this small but annoying problem, you have to avoid that Firefox check the connection in Network Manager.

INTERNET CONNECTION ON LINUX WITH MOBILE PHONE AND BLUETOOTH

This guide was created with the purpose to resolve one of most important issues for neophytes of the Linux community : Connecting to the internet trough mobile phone and bluetooth.
I also tried to explain the meaning of the various steps, because I have observed that most of the howtos that it's possible to find on the web, show the operations to be done but not their meaning and the consequential effects on the system.
The following operations have been tested on Fedora, but should work for most Linux distributions.

And now, Good Job!
