Fedora 11 64-bit Final on Macbook Pro 4,1

Installation Process

1. Touchpad

Touchpad doesn't work as usual during installation. Connect a USB mouse and things should be ok.

2. Install

Burn the DVD from http://fedoraproject.org and install OS as usual. If you need some help regarding the partitioning refer to this post

Post Install Process

1. BootDisk error

If you re-format all your partitions using Fedora-11 DVD during the installation, you might see this error "Invalid Boot Disk -- Insert boot disk and press any key to continue" error.

In order to fix this error, you need follow these steps

1. Reboot your system
   
2. Go to the 'refit' menu
   
3. Choose the second icon from the left (Partitioning tool)
   
4. If you see the 'refresh mbr', then do as requested
   
5. Thats all! Now you should be able to boot correctly into Fedora
   

Shutdown your macbook and reboot. Now everything should work as usual

2. Wireless

You no longer need to install the ndiswrapper manually. Configure the 'livna' repository and install the ndiswrapper.

bash$ sudo yum install ndiswrapper

Download the drivers from here, and add them to the ndiswrapper

bash$ cd /tmp/drivers
bash$ sudo ndiswrapper -i *.inf
bash$ sudo ndiswrapper -m
bash$ sudo ndiswrapper -mi
bash$ sudo ndiswrapper -ml

3. Touchpad/Tapping

Fedora 11 Automatically configures the touchpad driver using the bcm5974 driver present in the 2.6.29 kernel.

But, not all the tapping/right-click,scrolling features are available. You need to create a new .fdi file with all the options to "synaptics" driver

nareshv@localhost $ cd /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty
nareshv@localhost $ cp 10-synaptics.fdi 100-synaptics-custom.fdi

(Now edit 100-synaptics-custom.fdi, with the following contents)

nareshv@localhost $ cat 100-synaptics-custom.fdi 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!-- DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE IN PLACE.
     This file will be overwritten with the next update. If you need to add
     custom options, copy the file into /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ first. 
     
     See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Input_device_configuration -->

<deviceinfo version="0.2">

    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
        <!-- To add custom options for the touchpad, modify the examples below

4. Audio

Somehow the audio doesn't work out of the box, you need to set the model option

bash$ echo "options snd_hda_intel model=mbp3" >> /etc/modprobe.d/sound

5. Bluetooth

Works out of the box

6. Firewire

Haven't tested (Don't have a device to check)

14. Suspend , Resume

Fedora 11 still has this suspend resume bug. Upon resume we will get this error from dmesg and the mouse will be stuck

nareshv@ localhost $ | dmesg | tail -1
bcm5974: bad trackpad package, length: 8

Fix is as described in my earlier post.

Fedora 11 Alpha 64-bit on Macbook Pro 4,1

Yesterday Fedora has Released 'Alpha' version of its upcoming Operating System code named 'Leonidas' (Version 11).

Though i already have Fedora 11 from rawhide, i had installed the Alpha version from the DVD.

NOTE: Pre-Final releases are not recommended for daily usage, be warned.

Installation Process

Touchpad

During installation you notice that the 'touchpad' doesn't work. You need to plug in a USB Mouse and proceed with the installation

The whole installation process worked seamlessly

Post Installation

Audio

This still isn't being detected correctly, i had to follow my earlier hack to get this working

create the following file.

 nareshv@nareshv:~ $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/audio
options snd_hda_intel model=mbp3

2. Ndiswrapper 1.54 version

There seem to be some problem with the 'rpmfusion' repository, so i had to compile ndiswrapper 1.54 myself. During the compilation you might see errors like this

 nareshv@nareshv:/tmp/ndiswrapper-1.54 $ gmake
make -C driver
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/ndiswrapper-1.54/driver'

gmake: *** [all] Error 2
 nareshv@nareshv:/tmp/ndiswrapper-1.54 $

In order to get rid of that error, i had done a minor hack.

 nareshv@nareshv:/tmp/ndiswrapper-1.54 $ vim driver/wrapndis.c

1744 >___.ndo_set_mac_address = ndis_set_mac_address,
1745 >___.ndo_get_stats = ndis_get_stats,
1746 /*#ifdef CONFIG_NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
1747 >___.poll_controller = ndis_poll_controller;
1748 #endif*/
1749 };
1750 #endif

Just comment the lines from 1746 to 1748. The compilation will work just fine.

3. KDE-4.2

Kde-4.2 is included in the latest release, which is very good in terms of rendering, when compared to the earlier versions.

You might still see some screen corruption in the system tray, which the kde team has yet to fix.

4. Pommed-1.25 for apple keyboard special keys

You need to install pommed-1.25 version, in order to run with 2.6.29 kernel

Nvidia Drivers

You no longer need to do any hacks like -IgnoreABI in order to work with xorg-1.6, Nvidia driver 180.25 has support to work with latest xorg.

Few Gotchas

sudo commands

You notice a big delay till the command is executed, when you run any sudo commands, not sure whats the problem here is.

GDM and Preferred Desktop

No matter which desktop you choose, GDM tries to reset your preferred desktop to "GNOME". For me i was choosing KDE all the time, but whenever i reboot, the default desktop is getting reset to "GNOME"

There are many other features which you can find at the release notes

Fedora 11 (Leonidas) 64-bit - Rawhide - on Macbook Pro 4,1

Fedora 11 is not out yet, its just in the rawhide repository. In order to upgrade from Fedora 10 to Fedora 11, you need to do it via yum.

Pre Upgrade Steps

1. Enable the rawhide repository

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/rawhide.repo

[rawhide]
name=Fedora - Rawhide - Developmental packages for the next Fedora release
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=rawhide&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-test-$basearch file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch

2. Remove the python-2.5 packages as it will conflict with the python-2.6 on rawhide

/bin/rpm -e fusion-icon-gtk compiz-gnome ccsm ekiga setroubleshoot setroubleshoot-server compizconfig-python fusion-desktop-effects fusion-icon fusion-icon setroubleshoot-plugins

(Skip the missing ones, i had installed extra packages, so above command worked for me)

3. Now do a yum update

sudo yum update -y

Post upgrade steps

After the installation is complete, you need to edit the following configuration files

1. Update /boot/grub/grub.conf to allow the nvidia driver to be loaded on 2.6.29 kernel

title Fedora (2.6.29-0.28.rc1.fc11.x86_64)
 root (hd0,2)
 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.29-0.28.rc1.fc11.x86_64 ro root=UUID=25d9d23a-5a17-4ffe-831f-556213caaa16 rhgb quiet nopat
 initrd /initrd-2.6.29-0.28.rc1.fc11.x86_64.img

nopat is the option which you should add.

2. Current nvidia driver 180.22, doesn't work with the latest xorg that is being shipped with the Fedora 11.

You will see an error in /var/log/Xorg.0.log if you fail to do this step

112 ================ WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING ================
113 This server has a video driver ABI version of 5.0 that this
114 driver does not officially support.  Please check
115 http://www.nvidia.com/ for driver updates or downgrade to an X
116 server with a supported driver ABI.
117 =================================================================

124 (EE) No drivers available.
125 
126 Fatal server error:
127 no screens found

The fix is simple (which i had mentioned earlier for the older nvidia driver)

a. Rename your current Xorg binary

mv /usr/bin/Xorg /usr/bin/Xorg.0

b. Create a blank Xorg file, make it executable

touch /usr/bin/Xorg
chmod +x /usr/bin/Xorg 

c. Add the following lines

vi /usr/bin/Xorg

#!/bin/bash
exec /usr/bin/Xorg.0 -ignoreABI "$@"

3. Thats it, now restart your macbook, and boot into the newly installed Fedora 11 Rawhide (9.10)

2.6.29 is not yet in the stable branch. Be warned

Koji has the latest 2.6.29 kernel release. In order to try that, just download the latest kernel and install them

nareshv@@ /home/nareshv/Download $ ls -l kernel*

First time if you boot the kernel, you will see error something like this in the xorg.log

Enjoy your 2.6.29 kernel running latest nvidia driver on Fedora 10.

Fedora 10 64-bit on 2.6.28 kernel with Nvidia 180.16

Fedora 10 64-bit on 2.6.28 kernel with Nvidia 180.16

Linux kernel 2.6.28 will be out during christmas. I Wanted to try it on my Fedora 10 Desktop. Just download the kernel,kernel-devel,kernel-firmware rpms from koji.

Also, Trying out the Latest Nvidia Drivers on 2.6.28 is easy too. You can download the Nvidia drivers from here

You need 180.16 or higher version of nvidia driver which works seamlessly with 2.6.28 kernel. Or you might have to do some hacks ;-)

64-bit Flash 10 on Fedora 10

Since Adobe has released 'alpha' version of their 64-bit version of the flash player, thought i'd give it a try in Fedora 10. It just works !

Installation process is simple. Uninstall your existing flash packages.

nareshv@ >] rpm -qa \*flash\*
nareshv@ >] sudo rpm -e `rpm -qa \*flash\*`

Get the Flash Plugin from here

[nareshv@ >]$ tar zxf libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
[nareshv@ >]$ ls libflashplayer.so
libflashplayer.so
[nareshv@ >]$ cp libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

Thats it. Restart your browser, you should see the flash plugin present in firefox (check it by typing about:plugins in the address bar.)

Attached are the two screenshots on my Fedora10 Macbook.

1. Yahoo! Music playing videos with the new 64-bit flash-player.




2. Firefox 'about:plugins' window showing the new 64-bit Flash Player

Fedora 10 Final on Macbook Pro

I've been using Fedora-10 Since its Beta on my Macbook Pro. As always the F-10 Is available to the rawhide users, before its available to the outside world.

[nareshv@nareshv ~]$ uname -r
2.6.27.5-94.fc10.x86_64

All other users need to wait for the Final ISOs to come out. So far experience with Fedora 10 is really fantastic compared with the previous releases.

AFAIK, all the devices are working out of the box. Even i can Hibernate My Notebook With Fedora 10, Atleast KDE4 is doing that when my battery runs out (which was not possible in earlier releases).

Here is the Link to the Installation on Macbook

Notes: NetworkManager now connects to the wireless networks flawlessly. Previously i had to try connecting few times to the wireless networks (atleast with the airtel wifi modem in india)
