Extra drivers on Fedora Atomic install
Extra drivers on Fedora Atomic install
Hi folks,
I downloaded Aurora (https://getaurora.dev/) the other day with the intention of installing it on my 2013 MacBook Pro.
It wasn't until I got to the install screen when I realized that I have no networking.
I currently have Manjaro installed on this laptop, and I remember having to connect via Bluetooth to my phone to download and the Broadcom BCM4360 drivers.
Is there a good way to bake that into the image prior to installing?
Either that or I can try downloading the driver over Bluetooth again, but then I'll need to use a command to somehow layer it on top of the existing image? (rpm-ostree?)
Sorry if I'm missing some command or documentation, but it is a little more confusing trying out these immutable distros.
Has anyone else out there run into this issue and worked around it?
You're viewing a single thread.
This documentation is for bazzite, but they have a lot of the same stack under the hood. “Broadcom’s WL driver can be installed since it is needed by some hardware. Disabled by default. Enter “just use-broadcom-wl” to use it.”. You could try to see if aurura has the same “just” options, that’s where I would first research. If not, then yeah, “rpm-ostree” would be how you install the package, just like you said, just not sure of the commands for local files. Also there is a tool to “roll your own” distro built on top of any of the ublue work, it’s basically how bazzite and aurora exist. So you can layer the packages like the other option you said. https://github.com/ublue-os/image-template
I think the command you're looking for is ujust, which I believe all ublue images have
Correct, and if you just type
ujust, you'll get a list of all the "recipes" you can apply with that command (that's what they're called).Alternatively, OP can contact the maintainers and see if they can add the necessary recipe. They're really nice and responsive—even offered to add a semi-common print driver to the image for another user.
