Installing Fedora 26 Beta on a MacBook Air
|
||
======================
|
||
|
||
|
||
Since Fedora 26 Beta came out a few days ago, I decided it was a great time to throw it on my 13" MacBook Air.
|
||
|
||
This MacBook Air is a model number A1466 EMC 2925 which looks like a 2015ish model, 8gb mem, 2.2GHz i7, 512gb ssd.
|
||
|
||
First thing I did was download the beta. You can grab it from the [GetFedora][1] website. Once you have it downloaded, install it to a usb flash drive. From Linux, you can do this easily with the dd command.
|
||
|
||
Plug your USB drive into your computer and tail /var/log/syslog (or /var/log/messages) to see what flies by. You can also do a 'df -h' to show the storage devices to find the correct /dev/sdX.
|
||
|
||
In this example, we'll assume the USB flash drive is /dev/sdc
|
||
|
||
Code:
|
||
```
|
||
dd if=/home/rob/Downloads/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-26_Beta-1.4.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=8M status=progress oflag=direct
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
That may take a bit.. let it finish out.
|
||
|
||
Next, I shut down the macbook, counted to 5 and powered it back on. After hitting the power on button I held down the 'option' button to give me boot options. The image below shows what my choices were:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Click the arrow under 'fedora' and proceed with the install.
|
||
|
||
After going through the installation I noticed that I had no wifi. Luckily I had a thunderbolt-to-ethernet dongle since this laptop doesn't actually have an ethernet port. I hopped on google and found some great instructions from [this page][2].
|
||
|
||
To set up wifi,
|
||
Update your kernel
|
||
|
||
Code:
|
||
```
|
||
sudo dnf update kernel
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
(then reboot)
|
||
|
||
Install rpmfusion repo
|
||
|
||
Code:
|
||
```
|
||
su -c 'dnf install -y http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Install akmods and kernel-devel packages
|
||
|
||
Code:
|
||
```
|
||
sudo dnf install -y akmods "kernel-devel-uname-r == $(uname -r)"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Install the broadcom-wl package from rpmfusion
|
||
|
||
Code:
|
||
```
|
||
sudo dnf install -y broadcom-wl
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Rebuild kernel extensions
|
||
|
||
Code:
|
||
```
|
||
sudo akmods
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then, reboot and hop on your wifi!
|
||
|
||
Messing around a little bit with it so far, I'm very impressed! All of the function keys work that I care about (screen brightness, keyboard backlight, volume).
|
||
|
||
Then, in July when the non-beta is released, I'll just dnf my way to it!
|
||
|
||
Thanks Fedora!
