Description Gordon Messmer 2022-11-18 07:01:47 CET

https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia#Play_a_DVD

The DVD installation guide directs users to run: sudo dnf install "*-firmware"

However, Fedora 37 now includes a package meant for Apple ARM systems which seems to be causing problems for users.  Its name was update-vendor-firmware (and now a related package provides that capability by name).

In order to avoid directing users to install dracut-asahi (aka update-vendor-firmware), perhaps the documentation could be updated to:

sudo dnf --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree-release-tainted install "*-firmware

Thanks for the suggestion, adopted.

Comment 2 Gordon Messmer 2022-11-18 17:43:46 CET

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I see now that due to a copy/paste error on my part, there is now an unclosed double-quote.  Sorry about that.

I was also told by an observer that a shorter and equivalent version of that command is:

sudo dnf --repo=rpmfusion-nonfree-release-tainted install "*-firmware"

OK fixed
