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 ...

No network on Fedora 9 x86_64 follow up

Following my post related to NetworkManager . I have found out about the workaround. If you have x86_64 system with 4GB support enabled, you should disable it in order to make NetworkManager work. I am not sure if that bug affects other distributions so, possibly the bug may be related to the x86_64 kernel. Let see if my theory can be verified.
