Feodra 14 on Asus 1201N

This week I gave the new release of fedora a try on my netbook (Asus 1201N). The installation was, as it is always with a graphical installer, straight forward. But as fedora was installed i had a problem. Fedora doesn't include the proprietary drivers and thus was able to recognize the wireless chipset. To "fix" this you have to download the Linux driver provided by realtek. After downloading you can unpack and compile it. Then copy it to the wireless drivers. Use the following commands to do that

make
mkdir -p /lib/firmware
cp -rf firmware/RTL8192SE /lib/firmware
mkdir -p /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
cp -f HAL/rtl8192/r8192se_pci.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
depmod -a

After doing that i was able to use my Asus 1201N as it should be.

iFuse and playlist permissions on your iphone/ipod touch

iFuse worked fine for a long time for me. But it looks like i made something wrong the last days but after adding some new songs to my ipod touch it was not able to open the playlist. After a long search i found out that the permissions for the songs i copied to my ipod didn't allow the "iTunes" on it to read and play them so it always crashed while opening.

To solve this you can itunes do the work and connect your ipod/iphone with an itunes pc (it will check your device and automatically set the corret permissions) or you can set the permissions via iFues the same way you set permissions on your other filesystems (using chmod).
