Broadcomm 43xx on Karmic Koala

Thanks to Karmic which has made me come back and wrote somethings down here.
I found my first case, there was a netbook which run smoothly on JJ. But when i installed KK on it, the wireless did not do anything....hmmm

so....here we go:

1. Open terminal, make sure that your wireless is "Broadcomm 43xx" by typing sudo lspci
2. Insert Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD to CD-ROM drive.
3. Type these command below

sudo apt-cdrom add
sudo apt-get install dkms patch fakeroot bcmwl-kernel-source

4. Restart computer.
5. Go to System - Administration - Hardware Drivers; Broadcomm BCM43xx wireless chip had been detected
6. Now it's time to set the wireless connection

Joomla! - Liberate the Authors

To hack the Joomla! 1.5.x ( to open the gate for the authors ), is to change the following two files ( the hack has to be applied to any future upgrade of the core )

File 1 is ...components\com_content\controller.php
Go to Line 229 and comment out some lines to stop the wrong message coming up on save:

// if ($access->canPublish)
// {
// Publishers, admins, etc just get the stock msg
$msg = JText::_('Item successfully saved.');
// }
// else
// {
//  $msg = $isNew ? JText::_('THANK_SUB') : JText::_('Item successfully saved.');
// }

File 2 is ...components\com_content\models\article.php
Go to line 332 to change the zero value:

// For new items - author is not allowed to publish - prevent them from doing so
$article->state = 1;

The Authors are Liberated !

Nautilus Scripts

Started from here, talked about Send To feature ( this feature is famous in Ms. Windows -- i think ) , i just realized that i have missed another simple thing !!
I found something in wiki and something in unleashed.

If you need Copy-To script :

#! /bin/bash
location=`zenity --file-selection --directory --title="Select a directory"`
for arg
do
if [ -e "$location"/"$arg" ];then
   zenity --question --title="Conflict While Copying" --text="File ""$location"/"$arg"" already exists. Would you like to replace it?"
   case "$?" in
      1  )  exit 1 ;;
      0  )  cp "$arg" "$location" ;;
   esac
else
   cp "$arg" "$location"
fi
done

If you need Move-To script :

#! /bin/bash
location=`zenity --file-selection --directory --title="Select a directory"`
for arg
do
if [ -e "$location"/"$arg" ];then
   zenity --question --title="Conflict While Moving" --text="File ""$location"/"$arg"" already exists. Would you like to replace it?"
   case "$?" in
      1  )  exit 1 ;;
      0  )  mv "$arg" "$location" ;;
   esac
else
   mv "$arg" "$location"
fi
done

just copy the script to your text editor and save it to
~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/
But, don't forget one more thing;
your script must be executable by typing
sudo chmod a+x ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts in Terminal.

You can get Send-To script here
Open your Nautilus and the scripts will be there when you right-click on something ( press reload button if you didn't see any )

Done !!!

HP LaserJet 1020 on Hardy Heron

Frankly, i never know that this printer can't directly work if we installed it in HH by using direct connection. Otherwise, i always use this printer through network and it works totally well.

When i looked at this problem in google... i was shocked that this issue is there and it was an error from the bundled driver of HH ( i am totally late in figure this out )
So....the solution was I have to replace the bundled driver !!

open Terminal
type sudo bash
apt-get install build-essential { install build-essential }
wget -c http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz
{ to download the driver }
tar zxvf foo2zjs.tar.gz { extract the downloaded driver }
cd foo2zjs { change the working directory }
make { start to build the driver }
./getweb 1020 { get additional firmware }
make install { install the driver }
make install-hotplug { install hotplug }
make cups { restart cups }

done !! and Great Thanks to the resources
~E~
