Ubuntu Tweak came to Fedora!

Hello everyone!

I have a good news to tell you, especially to the people who are using Fedora: Now Ubuntu Tweak can work under Fedora now(Of course, without some features).

But it is a good start, isn’t it?

—–

Thanks of Yuan Yijun, by his help, I’ve made a rpm package for Fedora successfully.

I haven’t changed any code of Ubuntu Tweak, Ubuntu Tweak works fine under Fedora. Except the features under “Application” section(Add/Remove, Third-Party Souces and so on), everything works.

Ubuntu Tweak will have a better distribution compatible, this is the first step.

I only tested it under my Fedora 10, so I don’t know whether Fedora 9 or other rpm based distributions can use it.

So, if you are a Fedora people, I hope you can spend a little time to install Ubuntu Tweak and give the news to me. Maybe just a response: It works!

How to install Ubuntu Tweak under Fedora

Install the GPG public key(without this, you will see a warning dialog):

Open your terminal, and run the following commands:

wget http://code.google.com/p/ubuntu-tweak/source/browse/trunk/pubkey/tualatrix.key

(sudo) rpm –import tualatrix.key

Download the RPM package

Click the link and save file to anywhere you want: ubuntu-tweak-0.4.3-3.noarch.rpm

Then just double-click on the file, choose install:

If everything goes well, you can start use Ubuntu Tweak now!

Enjoy!

    Hey
    I’m a ubuntutweak user ever.
    I like this tool very much .
    It’s really a brilliant idea to put it to FC system.But anyway I think you should change its name.for ubuntu tweak is named after ubuntu.So I suggest you change its name as LinuxTweak or GnomeTweak or sth like this.
    Hope you make more progress!

    I second the above.

  5. Paul says:

    I tried you’re program on Fedora 64 no luck. Any advice?

  6. TualatriX says:

    @DanNiel
    Yeah, It will be that. Depend on the time.

    @Paul
    Have you installed it successfully?
    Or put the output here of running from terminal.

  7. bronofski says:

    ubuntu-tweak-0.4.3-3.noarch.rpm won’t install in Fedora 9 due to the following dependancy problem: “gnome-python2-gnome is needed by package ubuntu-tweak-0.4.3-3.noarch”.

    Have tried the usual F9 software sources but can’t find the missing module for download.

    Hope you can solve the problem as tweak would be useful on F9.

    wish to install fedora .Which one is the best of fedora release?

  20. Jake says:

    @Caesar
    If you wish to install Fedora, you’d be better off with the latest version, the Fedora 15. Of course, there are some users who dislike the new Gnome 3 user interface, so, if you are one of them, take a look at LXDE and XFCE Fedora spins.

    Hope this helps,
    Jake
