Dear Allessandro,

The IrDA upload has been working flawlessly on by Ubuntu box since I 
started using Subsurface. I cannot see that this can be a fundamental 
stumbling block, even on Fedora. But I have never done this on Fedora 
myself. The basic procedure I followed is the one I documented in the 
Subsurface user manual: download (from Linux-IrDA project) and install 
the driver, then execute an irattach instruction AS ROOT (i.e. using 
sudo) before starting Subsurface. Only snag with the Galileo is it 
downloads the full memory of the dive computer every time, even if only 
the last dive is needed. Fortunately Subsurface knows which dives have 
been downloaded previously and only shows the new dives for download.

Salvador is working hard on the AppImage for smtk2ssrf that can execute 
on a wider range of Linux flavours.

Kind regards,
willem
