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?
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.
