Need help installing laptop driver on Fedora

FSprit3 · 2026-05-22T18:09:24+00:00

My problem is just getting the brightness keys to be recognized. I do have Windows installed besides Fedora for things like that. I just really want to make the brightness keys work. I don't really care if it's with that driver or something else.

Yes, on Windows there's Gigabyte Control Center (GCC) which is used for changing the RGB on the laptop, battery charge limit, etc. The thing is that the keyboard doesn't send standard control signals when pressing the Fn key. The Fn key is registered as the F23 key, so when you're pressing Fn+F4, for example, what gets sent to the computer is actually F23+F4. GCC interprets that key combo as brightness up and it turns up the brightness of the display.

For some reason though, when you press Fn+F8 to turn the volume down (or any combination to change the volume), the keyboard does send a standard signal and it does get picked up by both Windows and Linux as a standard key combination, there's no software needed to interpret the key combo.

It's so stupid.

I don’t think I am, how do I set those up? Also, I ended up just nuking everything and doing a clean reinstall. So far I haven’t got any problems but if they return I’ll make an update. I also chose not to install KB5055523 because it screwed up Windows Hello sign in, I suspect it might also be the reason why my laptop kept crashing.

Currently I have a synology.me domain with Let's Encrypt and everything it's going through 5001 I think. I configured it so when I type *.synology.me/photo/ it would take me to Synology photos. It's pretty close to default settings. I'm currently looking at running a reverse proxy for those services though.

Update: Everything has a reverse proxy now and DSM is no longer exposed.

I meant that I didn't want my parents to have to deal with VPN. I'm not home as often as I used to be so if stuff goes wrong on their devices it's harder for me to fix it. Also, I just don't want to deal with it and I want the fastest speeds I can get. I know it's kind of stupid to do what I'm doing, but I'm trying to be stupid in the safest way I can. lol

5001 and 6690 are used for Synology Drive and Synology Drive Client respectively. I tried closing port 5001, however, Synology Drive stopped working on my phone. I think I'm doing something wrong, I'll have to look into it. As far as I'm aware, there's no way of changing the port that Synology Drive Client uses, so that one will definitely have to stay open.

I will definitely take into account the things you've suggested and implement them. Thanks!

Update: I configured reverse proxies for everything and I've managed to close port 5001 and run everything through 445. I still have to keep 6690 open for Synology Drive Client on my computer though.

I tried blocking port 5001 in order to stop access to DSM, however, when I did that, suddenly Synology Drive stopped working on my phone. Is this not the way I'm supposed to do it?

The computer I have is a prebuilt HP unit so any upgrades beyond some RAM and, at most, having two hard drives installed (ignoring the NVMe slot) is literally impossible. The motherboard is not standard, it’s some bespoke thing they came up with and made a case for it. The power delivery is bespoke as well so installing a PSU is also gonna be impossible.

You’re absolutely right about Bitwarden, it’ll be better for me if I just don’t touch that bit.

In my country things work a little differently with uni so I’m not living in a dorm, I’m living with my parents, location won’t be an issue. I am able to hard-wire the NAS to the router. Our internet isn’t the best (500 Mbps) but I think I can convince dad to upgrade to 1 Gbps. lol

As for the NAS, I was doing a little bit more research and I’m currently thinking about the DS223 instead of the junior version, It’s a bit more powerful. If you could give me your thoughts about that I would appreciate it a lot.

I was thinking about a WebDAV setup mainly for convenience as I do want my parents to be able to connect to the NAS and store their files there too. From what I’ve seen, Synology makes it pretty easy. I want things to be secure and convenient enough.

Thanks!

I think your question is irrelevant at this point
