I haven't started yet. I shall in January.

Yes, I know, but usually January isn't studying time. That's why I wondered if it was private.

No. Community College.

I don't know what is a community college... I feel so ignorant today. ?

merry christmas

Thanks! Merry Christmas to you too!

Community colleges are more common in the US. I'm not sure if they exist elsewhere, but they're lower cost, local colleges.

Oh, now I understand why I never heard of them. Thanks for the explanation!

It's December the twenty fourth, all I'm doing is installing Fedora 25 on other's laptops. Yay!

The notebook's WiFi I'm working on doesn't seem to be recognised by default. How can I narrow down its components in order to install the missing packages on Fedora?

I already have it connected to Internet by ethernet. All I want to do is a) Get to know what WiFi card it has and b) Install the missing packages to make it work.

I'm taking some efforts to erase all traces of Google from my digital life and I'm writing blog posts about it.

dnf install akmod-wl _after_ adding rpmfusion

Apparently the package is installed successfully, although there's no feasible wireless connection as it doesn't come up opening the Edit connections button...

Not a problem. Not yet.

Interesting article.

Yes, it is...

@Kohane, @Tobias4X, @xvitaly - This tutorial solved the problem, for the record. http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43/#other_distros

We have a new problem, though. The resolution is stuck at 800x600 and there's no feasible way to change it, at least, using the UI alternative. Is there any terminal code to adjust the resolution of the screen at my will?

xrandr tells me 800 x 600 is the minimum, current and maximum value. TL;DR get wrecked.

Was it working before?

No. It's been 800x600 since I first installed Fedora 25 on this very old netbook.

It seems like a problem with the graphic driver...

ita actually a problem with the Edid (or something) that your monitor sends on connection

the most viable ways are trying another cable or connector

Cable or connector? It's a netbook, not a PC.

there is no real fix as the monitor isnt easily fooled intonacvepting an fhd signal

Crap...

connector part on the cable. if it has another video out try that instraf

800x600 is too big for his eyes. He's complaining about the resolution.

like if it has display port and vga try dp over vga or other way round

beautiful

Hmm. Attach the netbook to a separate monitor?

I thought perhaps I might force the system to change the resolution values.

try anything but the same connectors/cables

I like how it was wrapped with Fedora stickers.

I thought perhaps I might force the system to change the resolution values.

if your gpu doesnt get actual values from the display it cant tell it to go into fhd mode

ERROR: S client not available

@Tobias4X - RIP resolution.

What about Chrome? I've tried a few installation tutorials around but no dice so far. He doesn't want to try Chromium and Firefox is 'too slow'.

does he need flash?

else chromium and dont tell

does he need flash?

Most likely.

He's the same person I was talking about the other day...

Needs and relies on proprietary software so much...

You can download the RPM package from Google.com/chrome and install by sudo dnf install ./google-chrome.xxxxxxx.rpm

Neither dnf install nor YUM installer seem to make it work. Apparently there's some dependencies missing or something like that. There must be a wiki or anything similar which can provide us with the neccessary files to install Chrome successfully on Fedora 25.

weird, works fine here . are you trying to install i386 pkg on x64 ?

weird, works fine here . are you trying to install i386 pkg on x64 ?

Correct. The chipset is x32 and as far as I know, there's no x32 Chrome package anywhere.

You are correct, chrome i386 has been killed off

Whoop whoop!

;)

You are correct, chrome i386 has been killed off

Does this mean there's no feasible way to make Chrome work on that netbook?

It's either he uses Firefox or Chromium. (?)
