There is a running joke in the Magento 1.x community where we wished we had jQuery instead of Prototype as the main JavaScript framework. Magento went with Prototype as at the time Magento 1.x was first being built, Prototype was more mature than jQuery. So with the Magento 2 overhaul we now have jQuery but it’s not the only Javascript library in Magento 2. But fear not as Magento uses it in tandem with other Libraries for good reasons.

So my new Lenovo ultrabook is very nice, but trying to transfer a database dump over SCP was failing, every, time. In my trade, transferring large files around is pretty much a requirement so I had to find a solution. A lot of Googling later and I did the following that seemed to fix it: sudo bash -c ' echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf ' In order to test if the above fix works, I wrote this little script and placed in my ~/bin directory (called fixwifi) #!/usr/bin/env bash echo "f******g linux wifi..." sudo bash -c "modprobe -r iwlmvm; modprobe -r iwlwifi; modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1; modprobe iwlmvm" echo "sorted" Something else I did which I’m not sure if it has helped is to symlink the firmware specified in modinfo iwlwifi to what seems to be a more up to date verion.

Bash Script to Change Desktop on Gnome Shell Previously on this blog I had a script that will change your desktop background and can be used on cron This is an updated version of that script, mainly the pgrep no longer works as the gdm login is matching as well so we need to be more specific when pulling out the process ID. Here is the script, copy paste into a bash script, edit the path for images and then add to your crontab and enjoy nice backgrounds of your choosing.
