Project Details

Purpose

I recently completed a sudo dnf update -y && sudo reboot on my development laptop which resulted in a broken grub2 installation. After successfully recovering my encrypted data, I began hunting for my installation notes. I didn't find them.

The purpose of this article is to document and preserve my installation notes of Fedora 26 Workstation. Hopefully, others will find it useful, too!

Prerequisites

Supported Intel or AMD Laptop or desktop computer.

Time

You will need 60 to 120 minutes to complete installation.

Assumptions

I am using Fedora 26 Workstation with the Gnome Desktop (default) and Developer Tools installation groups. I will, also, be using RPMFusion repositories.

Install Fedora

Complete the installation of Fedora using CD/DVD or USB drive with the NetInstall or Live media. Select additional software as desired. I, generally, install developer tools which can be installed later using sudo dnf groupinstall 'Development Tools'. If using a laptop, it is advisable to select "Encryption" during the installation in the "Installation Destination" dialogue. If using the Live media, sudo dnf update -y && sudo reboot before continuing.

Touchpad

Enable tap to click.

Select 'Super' key also known as the 'Windows' key
Type "Settings" and select Settings
Open "Mouse & Touchpad"
Enable "Tap to Click"
Close the window
Done

Automatic Brightness

Disable Automatic brightness feature for its broken; flickering.

Select 'Super' key
Type "Settings" and select Settings
Open "Power"
Disable "Automatic brightness"
Close the window
Done

Gnome Arc Theme & Moka Icon Theme

Select 'Super' key
Type "Terminal" and select Terminal
Enter `sudo dnf install -y arc-theme moka-icon-theme
Complete the installation
Done

Arc Icon Theme

In addition, set up arc-icon-theme. Alternatively, you could just use the Moka icons which is less work. Moka icons are a dependency for the Arc icons.

Install the build dependencies using sudo dnf install autoconf automake libtool then clone and build as follows:

$ mkdir gitcode
$ cd gitcode
$ git clone https://github.com/horst3180/arc-icon-theme --depth 1

Install icons using sudo make install into /usr/share/icons/Arc then reboot.

Gnome Tweak Tool

Select 'Super' key
Type "tweak" and select "Gnome Tweak Tool"
Select "Install"
Complete the installation and launch

Alternatively,

Open "Terminal"
sudo dnf install gnome-tweak-tool
gnome-tweak-tool& to launch

After launching, I set these items:

Appearance --> GTK+ = Arc-Dark
Appearance --> Icons = Arc (alternatively, Moka)
Extensions --> Application menu
Fonts --> Scaling Factor = 1.20
Keyboard and Mouse --> Show All Input Sources = enabled; I use multiple input devices
Top Bar --> Clock = enable date

Adobe Flash

Flash is evil but I still use sites using it, so setup Adobe's 64-bit x86_64 repository then install flash-plugin.

$ sudo rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
$ sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
$ sudo dnf install flash-plugin alsa-plugins-pulseaudio libcurl

RPMFusion Repositories

Red Hat, thus Fedora does not ship with any software that is not Open Source. As a consequence, many audio and video codecs are not included. A nuisance but RPMFusion's Non-free repository provides the missing biniaries and libraries. RPMFusions's Free repository is a dependency so setup both.

$ sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

Reference: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration/

Video Playback

I install the following common codecs from Fedora and RPMFusion repositories:

$ sudo dnf install -y gstreamer1-libav gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-extras gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld gstreamer1-plugins-good-extras gstreamer1-plugins-ugly ffmpeg libmpg123 lame-libs

CMUS

For music playing, I use cmus. However, there is no package available from Fedora nor RPMFusion, so install dependencies and build it. Optional and required dependencies are found here:

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/cmus/

Packages

cmus uses ncurses and ./configure will exit abruptly citing ncurses if missing. In my experience, ncurses-devel is not installed even with selecting the Developer Tools installation group.

$ sudo dnf install ncurses ncurses-base ncurses-libs ncurses-devel

Install the remaining packages.

$ sudo dnf install faad2-devel ffmpeg-devel pulseaudio-libs-devel libcue-devel libdiscid-devel alsa-lib-devel flac-devel libao-devel libcdio-paranoia-devel libmad-devel libmodplug-devel libmpcdec-devel libvorbis-devel opusfile-devel wavpack-devel libcddb-devel systemd-devel libmp4v2-devel libsamplerate-devel alsa-lib-devel libao-devel jack-audio-connection-kit-devel

Note that I have not found sndio nor roar development packages. They appear to be unneeded for Fedora.

A Very Brief C*MUS Tutorial

C*MUS views are changed by selecting 1 through 7. The available views are:

'1': Library
'2': Sorted Library
'3': Playlist
'4': Play Queue
'5': Browser (file system)
'6': Filters
'7': Settings

To add music, enter file system browser by selecting '5' then browse and highlight folders with music to add by selecting 'a'. Note at the bottom left sum of hours:minutes:seconds will grow until complete.

Return to music browser by selecting '1' then use the following keys:

'y' & 'e': add artist, album, or song to playlist or queue
'm': change play mode
'r': repeat
's': shuffle
'ctrl+c': continuous
'/[$]': search
'c': pause
'v': stop

Also, cmus like vi can drop to a command mod using ":" for actions like:

add
delete
clear

For example you can :add /path/to/folder_file to add music or :clear the current playlist.

VirtualBox

If using RPMFusion repositories:

$ sudo dnf install VirtualBox

Is this ok [y/N]:

If not use RPMFusion repositories, add the VirtualBox repository then install.

$ sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/virtualbox.repo
$ sudo dnf install VirtualBox

For VirtualBox virtual machines, install the following prior to installing VirtualBox Additions (drivers):

$ sudo dnf install dkms kernel-devel

Also, if using VirtualBox's Shared Folders feature, add the users to the vboxsf group and create a symbolic link for ease of use.

$ sudo usermod -a -G vboxsf [username]
$ sudo ln -s /media/sf_Share /home/[userhome]/Share

Jekyll

Jekyll is a static page generator that I use for rharmonson.github.io. It is pretty darn nifty.

Documentation Theme

I use "documentation-theme-jekyll" by Tom Johnson. If you like to use it to explore jekyll or as the basis of building your own static website, download and unzip the them from:

https://github.com/tomjohnson1492/documentation-theme-jekyll

Unzip the file to a working directory. My convention is to use a directory called gitcode for code from github.com.

The Documentation theme has the following additional package dependencies:

$ sudo dnf install libxml2-devel libxslt-devel nodejs

Predictable Network Names

I use this for virtual machines for VirtualBox and oVirt (RHEV) to have a consistent naming, eth0, convention for scripting and cloud-init.

During installation, select [tab] and append kernel parameters net.ifnames and biosdevname. This can be done after installation of Fedora, but the procedure is much more complex and can be found at http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/81834/how-can-i-change-the-default-ens33-network-device-to-old-eth0-on-fedora-19.

vmlinuz .. net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0

Gnome Sceensaver Settings

If using a home office, the default limit of 15 minutes idle lockout may be undesirable and cannot be set higher than 15 minutes using the GUI. Instead use gsettings.

Timeout for blanking the screen (seconds; 0 = never):

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 3600

Timeout for locking the screen after blanking (seconds; 0 = instant):

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-delay 10

Remote Desktop

Fedora defaults to Wayland and it does not support remote desktop at this time. However, xorg does. Edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf and remove the # to result with WaylandEnable=false. Reboot and on logon, xorg is in use. To enable remote desktop or "Screen Sharing" open Gnome "Settings" application, select Sharing, and enable Screen Sharing.

Additional Packages

Additional packages I install are:

gnucash is a double-entry accounting program
tmux which provides similiar functionality to screen
virt-viewer which is a remote desktop viewer that supports vnc and spice protocols
shutter is a screenshot tool like Windows Snipping tool
vlc to check video files prior to adding to Kodi
youtube-dl - video snatch and grab
rtmpdump to support youtube-dl

$ sudo dnf install gnucash tmux virt-viewer shutter vlc youtube-dl rtmpdump

"To do" for author: verify dnf-plugin-versionlock and dnf-plugin-priorities is installed by default, otherwise, update above.

Done?!

If installing VirtualBox from RPM from Oracl's website, you will need the following packages (and maybe others):

SDL
qt5-qtx11extras

Hate the Gnome initial setup wizard? I do!

# dnf remove gnome-initial-setup
