Hi,
I was looking at how to get Fedora on an Rpi 2, but then I realised the latest Pidora version is an F20 based RC from 2014. Is this all we have? Maybe someone knows a way to install from the latest ARM images. The official ARM installer does not seem to support Rpi. This is the list:
- A10-OLinuXino-Lime - A20-OLinuXino-Lime - A20-OLinuXino-Lime2 - A20-OLinuXino_MICRO - am335x_boneblack - Bananapi - Bananapro - cm_fx6 - Cubieboard - Cubieboard2 - Cubietruck - jetson-tk1 - Linksprite_pcDuino - Linksprite_pcDuino3 - Linksprite_pcDuino3_Nano - Mele_A1000 - Mini-X - mx6cuboxi - none - novena - omap4_panda - omap5_uevm - riotboard - trimslice - wandboard
I tried none, it doesn't install U-boot and then the Pi doesn't boot. Thanks for any other ideas.
Cheers,
I have both of these bookmarked. I've used one of the procedures recently and it went smooth. I just can't remember which (or if there was even a difference) https://chisight.wordpress.com/2015/10/19/fedora-22-or-23-on-raspberry-pi-2/ http://jonarcher.info/2015/02/getting-fedora-21-raspberry-pi-2/

I followed this, and worked nicely. I have a booting F23 system now!
Thanks a lot.

You "have a booting F23 system," do you have a usable desktop display? I have followed the jonarcher procedure several times but always wind up with a nice XFCE desktop display but no keyboard or mouse control, it just does nothing at that point. I have been trying each time I see something encouraging written about it but without success and have pretty much given up hope for the RPI2b and Fedora ...
Perhaps the chisight.wordpress.comprocedure works better? I would be interested in anything you can offer to make a working system.

I am using the minimal image, so no, I do not have a desktop. But I do have a working keyboard and ethernet. Did firstboot run for you? If not, that would explain the issue for you.
I'm having trouble getting wireless to work though. I know my adapter works with the RPi since I have another RPi running OSMC using the same adapter without issues. I tested the adapter with my laptop running F22, that worked nicely. So I know it also works with Fedora x86_64. However it fails to work on the RPi with Fedora ARM. I checked the respective module is loaded 8192cu, although I do not see any rtlwifi. Trying to load it with modprobe gives me a module not found error.
It seems to me, the fedora kernel is not running. Any ideas how I can get it to run?
Cheers,

The minimal image was the first thing I tried and that worked well enough so then I a "more complete" install and that's where my problems began ...

Not sure about "first boot," it's been a few months since I did anything with it, a birthday gift last April. I even forget if I lat put F22 or 23 on it but it works fine until I enter startxfce or whatever it wants, then as I said I get a nice presentation but can't input anything.

Doesn't that install procedure substitute another kernel, from Pidora perhaps?
I only used the ethernet connection to my LAN. Don't usually use wireless.
There is an ARM list and it is quite active, mostly the developer/testers.

As far as I am aware you can't use a Fedora kernel on a Raspberry Pi 2, as it needs some modifications that the Fedora Kernel doesn't have (unless it has changed recently). One thing to check is that you have the NetworkManager-wifi package, probably the wpa_supplicant package as well as I don't think they are in the minimal image.

Thanks for the information. I'll try to find more information. Perhaps it's simpler to try a distribution that is better supported on the Pi.

Or going to the fedora-arm list to ask about arm support?

Or start with going through the archive there looking for raspberry.

I tried looking at the archives. I eventually went with Arch Linux. It was very easy to install, and runs rather nicely. The Fedora version I had by following the instructions in the blogpost mentioned earlier in the thread felt very sluggish compared to the snappiness of the Arch install so I think I'll stick with this. Given that this is an RPi, it's not surprising.
