This looks like a reasonable setup, I wouldn't expect problems with
the fedora build, although I have not tried it.

It looks like the firmware is not being correctly written to the
flash.  Could you try using dfu-util to write the
hackrf_one_usb_ram.dfu firmware image file?

dfu-util --device 1fc9:000c --alt 0 --download hackrf_one_usb_ram.dfu

As it loads in to RAM, it will be lost when you remove power from the
device, so make sure to try it as soon as you have written it.

Thanks,
