Loading Fedora On A Samsung Chromebook

Overview And Goals The goal is to describe how to boot and run Fedora Linux on a Samsung Chromebook. Lots of thanks go to Chris Hewitt for laying the foundation for this page. Equipment & Software Hardware: Samsung Chromebook XE303C12 (ARM Exynos 5 processor) Storage: Sandisk 32G card, which identifies as /dev/mmcblk0 (substitute your own drive's device in the instructions below) Fedora Image: The generic hardware floating point image from here (or click here to download the image now). Preparing The Disk The first thing to do is to prepare the SD card. What we want to do is create two partitions for the kernel images and a partition for holding the root filesystem for Fedora. You don't need a lot of space for the kernel images, so two 15MB partitions are find. You can either leave the remaining space for the root file system. Or, if you want to keep /home separate to protect it in case you have to redo the rootfs, you can create a fourth partition for

Fedora 15, Gnome 3 and closing your laptop's lid...

I upgraded my system today from Fedora 14 to 15 using the preupgrade tool. Everything went VERY smoothly. My nVidia card (Quadro FX 880M) is completely supported with full hardware acceleration, which is awesome! But the first thing I noticed once I booted into Gnome 3 was that, when I closed my laptop lid, the system went into suspend mode. Not what I want to have happen: unless I'm on battery, I want the system to just blank the screen when I close the lid. I went into power settings and could not find a setting for what to do when the lid is closed. Something that was very easy to find in past, but now is not obvious. So a quick google search turned up this solution: To set the action when the laptop lid is closed, simply enter the following commandline: gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-MODE-action “ACTION ” where you replace MODE with either ac or battery depending on which mode you're setting, and replace ACTION with blank ,

Grouping Channels In Weechat By Network

One of the things that's kept me from switching from Xchat to Weechat for IRC was that I couldn't keep my channels grouped together by network. Where I work we have internal IRC channels with the same name as public IRC channels, and it was confusing to look at the window and figure out which was internal or not. Fortunately, I found a way to change that in Weechat and so have switched over to it exclusively. Here's how: Install the buffers.pl plugin. The buffers plugin lets you configure how the various buffers are displayed. /script install buffers.pl Tell buffers.pl to show the IRC network name. By default buffers.pl only shows the channel name (#name). To group channels together, you need to enable showing the fullly qualified channel name (network#name): /set buffers.look.short_names off Sort channels by name and not numbers. This groups the channels together by their server name. Otherwise they're grouped by the order in which they were opene
