FC5, first issues

I know it’s a bit childish from my side, but i’ll post about this anyway.

Since the installation of FC5 i’ve been tweaking it, basically following the Stanton Finley’s Installation Notes {usually in the past i’ve used MJMwired one’s} after having seen that many contibution on Fedora Project wikis are made by him.

I’ve come at the first half of the guide (after TWO days, but i am doing this in my spare time) and have encountered 3 main problems:

JAVA
I had somewhat installed a java machine PRIOR reading your guide. In fact I had Azureus up and running (I’ve downloaded the new CentOS 4.3 with it). Then I’ve religiously followed the guide, installed everything but now Azureus works no more for me
I’ve done “/usr/sbin/alternatives --config java” to revert back to option 1 but the problem remains, i’ll copy the shell output at the end of the post [1].

ACROBAT
It’s installed but I cannot see it in the browser, all I’ve got is a big shiny white pages. The about:plugins page give me correctly the acrobat plugin installed:

Adobe Reader 7.0
Filename: nppdf.so
The Adobe Reader plugin is used to enable viewing of PDF and FDF files from within the browser.

Format pdf yes
Format fdf yes
Format xfdf yes
Format xdp yes
Format xfd yes

REAL PLAYER
OK I can listen to smil streams, but if I go to one italian radio broadcasting in Windows Media Player format or in Real when I choose Real I get a page with a hole in it. On SUSE 10.0 I correctly had a “command bar” series of buttons to play, pause, adjust the volume. The before mentioned about:plugins page of mozille does NOT show any sign of a specific real plugin but lists the filetypes in mozplugger plugin.

All these problems were unseen in SUSE Eval, which was like an Apple OS “just worked” !

fedora, annoiances
