how to install wifi driver in Mer

July 27th, 2009

To get wireless networking to work (from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Marvell8686Firmware):

1. Grab the firmware package from Marvell here: http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?driverId=203 and copy it to your computer.

2. Extract the downloaded zip file, then extract SD-8686-FEDORA26FC6-SYSKT-GPL-9.70.3.p24-26409.P45.tar within it. Extract the FwImage folder.

3. Inside there are two files, helper_sd.bin and sd8686.bin. Rename helper_sd.bin to sd8686_helper.bin and copy to your SD card

4. In Mer on SmartQ, open X-Terminal and:

$ sudo mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media
(password is the one you used when installing)
$ sudo cp /media/sd8686.bin /lib/firmware/sd8686.bin
$ sudo cp /media/sd8686_helper.bin /lib/firmware/sd8686_helper.bin
$ sudo umount /media

5. Reboot.

If people want to be able to connect to WPA/WPA2 networks, they can use this fix:

Download

patch for Q5

patch for Q7

copy to a SD card

Mount SD like you did with the WiFi firmware (sd8686.bin and so on)

sudo mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media

sudo dpkg -i kernel-smartq5-modules_2.6.24.7-smartq5-050509_all.deb

Reboot

how to install watermark plugin for wordpress 2.71

1. download watermark plugin

2.uncompress the current watermark Zip-file into the plugins-directory of your blog. It should look like this: /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/watermark

3.Open the file /wordpress/wp-admin/includes/media.php in your favorite editor and look for the following part (about Line 221-222). Please be sure you edit the right file. Look for the media.php file in /wordpress/wp-admin/includes not in /wordpress/wp-includes.This file exist thrice, but only the /wordpress/wp-admin/includes/media.php is correct!

File: media.php

… and insert this code:// INSERT HERE!!!MM_Execute_WM($file,”);Be careful here not to miss out a single-quote, as there are two single-quotes in this line(see the diagram)!If you can execute all these steps successfully, then the watermark-plugin is installed.

7. (Optional step)Create your own logo with a transparent background. you can use for example GIMP to do this. Then rename your file to stempel.png and save this in to the watermark directory. For the first test, you can use the stempel.png-file that is already included in the archive.

8.(Optional step)If you need other fonts, please upload them via ftp, as your favorite font in the fonts-directory of your wordpress installation./wordpress/wp-content/plugins/watermark/fonts
