In this article I will show you how to install Caffeine on Fedora 16 and Fedora 17.
Caffeine is a life saver software. It blocks the PC from suspending, or get the screen locked, when some applications are running.
I use it to disable any kind of suspend or screen saver action when I watch movies (have VLC or Mplayer opened).
Installing Caffeine on Fedora 16 and Fedora 17:
1. Download the caffeine*.rpm
- for i686 architecture:
$ download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/zhonghuaren/Fedora_17/src/caffeine-1.0.1-13.2.src.rpm
- for x86_64 architecture:
$ wget download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/zhonghuaren/Fedora_17/src/caffeine-1.0.1-13.2.src.rpm
2. Install caffeine:
$ sudo rpm -i caffeine*
That address for the i686 package is invalid.
@thisguy: I have fixed the download links. both links work now.
