Fedora 8 and installation from CD/DVD

As it becomes a routine, I have replaced Moonshine (Fedora 7) by Loup Garou (Wereworf in French) that is Fedora 8 after backing up all the essential data such as email, specs and artwork for echo-icon-theme and the incoming Fedora 9. All system was succesfully detected.

One particular feature I have noticed on Fedora 8 is the long awaited ability to install package from either CD and DVD. That is a major welcome addition for people who still have a narrowband connection. See the image showing InstallMedia as access point from optical drive or possibly USB.

Un point particulier de Fedora 8 est l'habileté d'installer un paquetage à partir d'un disque compact or un DVD. Ceci est une excellente addition bien attendu des utilisateurs n'ayant pas de connexion à large bande. Voyez l'image ci-dessous ou InstallMedia est coche indiquant l'accès des lecteurs optiques ou possiblement USB.

Glad to see people appreciating it. Unfortunately, it took way too long to land the code just due to not enough round 'tuits :(

Using AMD RX Vega driver OpenCL on Fedora 29

The Raven Ridge APU is very capable processor to handle OpenCL inside some applications like Blender, Darktable and Gimp. Unfortunately, the current implementation from Mesa, clover, stuck to 1.3, is not supported. AMD released their driver 18.40 with OpenCL2.0+ targeting only Red Hat Enterprise Linux/Cent OS 6.10 and 7.5 in addition of Ubuntu LTS. The good new is the former rpm format can be used on Fedora. The graphical part of Raven Ridge is Vega 8, basically a cut-down of Vega56 or Vega64 meaning choosing either driver for RX Vega . The instruction is provided for extracting the rpm files but here is  some requirements for OpenCL: kernel-devel (provided by Fedora repository) amdgpu-dkms dkms libopencl-amdgpu-pro opencl-amdgpu-pro-icd Once done, applications needing OpenCL will automatically detect the driver located on /opt/amdgpu/lib64 . Blender will list as unknown AMD GPU and Darktable will enable it. OpenCL from official AMD driver enabled on Darktable ...

Detailing the installation of AMD OpenCL rpm for Fedora

Revisiting the previous blog and freshly reinstalling Fedora Design Suite due to a busted boot, I look at the official guideline from AMD Driver for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 and write a way to improve the process of installing on Fedora 29 in this example. Extracting the tarball contains the following: amdgpu-install amdgpu-pro-install symlink to amdgpu doc folder repodata folder RPMS folder containing rpm package Executing the command ./amdgpu-install -opencl=pal --headless sadly failed on Fedora on that line: ./amdgpu-install -y --opencl=pal --headless Last metadata expiration check: 0:30:51 ago on Mon 19 Nov 2018 07:13:43 PM PST. No match for argument: amdgpu Upon closer look, the script failed to created a temporary repository on /var/opt/amdgpu-pro-local probably explaining why amdgpu metapackage name failed to display. Someone should investigate and provide a fix. At least, we find out Fedora support is available but unofficial. Due to its design, Gnome ...
