Apple Macbook pro retina 2015 Fedora status

[Jeandet Alexis]

Hi,

I bought a Macbook pro retina(A1502 EMC 2835) few days ago(For work
reasons...), first I have to say that F22 install works very well! The
biggest issue was to resize the disk from OSX, the tool did crash after
each operation.

Let's make a list of what works:
	-F22 Installer
	-Grub to boot Fedora
	-Thunderbolt ethernet(Only cold plug)
	-Gnome in HiDPI
	-Wi-Fi
	-Sound
	-SD-CARD

What doesn't(at least today):
	-Boot OSX from grub(Some workaround on google but not tested
and useless)
	-Thunderbolt ethernet hot-pluging
	-Some apps in HiDPI such as QtCreator are really hard to
use(May be fixed when built with Qt 5.5)
	-Keyboard layout not perfect and no multimedia keys
	-Trackpad detected as simple mouse(No Synaptic device found)
	-Bluetooth not detected

I hope it may be useful for some peoples.

In the non working parts I don't understand why there is no Thunderbolt
ethernet hot-pluging since it seems to be supported by the kernel since
3.17?

Best regards,
Alexis.

Hello Alexis.

I'm on a similar situation like you.

Have you tested Thunderbolt VGA Adapter? Because mine always crash when
connected the any projector.

Best regards!

Hello Abdel,
In my case nothing append, I've just tried on one old dell screen. So
both cold and hot-plug doesn't work with it(but no crash).
I'll try on other displays this week.
Best regards,
Alexis.

Thank you for your quick response.

I also tried on a old Dell screen and worked but the crash happens on
projectors.

Best regards!

Hi jeandet,
In my case with MacBookPro11,2 the thunderbolt just works fine, both Ethernet and VGA
adapter, with kernel-4.1.0;But WiFi doesn't stably work with WPA2 Enterprise, with
corporate environment PEAP CHAPv2 Authentication. the laptop just hangs once or twice a
week, and sometimes shows console with Oops msgs in wl.ko (the proprietary Broadcom STA
bcmwl driver), the open sourced b43 driver just doesn't support 14e4:43a0 on Mac at
all, I am curious which wifi driver are you
using?https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/b43

[    0.000000] efi: EFI v1.10 by Apple[    0.000000] efi:  ACPI=0x7ad8e000  ACPI
2.0=0x7ad8e014  SMBIOS=0x7ad15000 [    0.000000] SMBIOS 2.4 present.[    0.000000] DMI:
