Fixing Wifi (Debian Linux Jessie) on Acer Aspire E15 E5-575G-52H9

Do the following :

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_1.158_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-firmware_1.158_all.deb

and reboot.

Then, install the backported modules and needed firmware :

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) git
echo "options ath10k_core skip_otp=y" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath10k_core.conf
wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v4.4.2/backports-4.4.2-1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf backports-4.4.2-1.tar.gz
cd backport-4.4.2-1
make defconfig-wifi
make
sudo make install
git clone https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware.git
sudo cp -r ath10k-firmware/QCA9377 /lib/firmware/ath10k/
sudo cp /lib/firmware/ath10k/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin_WLAN.TF.1.0-00267-1 /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin

and reboot. That's it.

However, when a new kernel is installed through updates, the Wifi might fail.

Do the following :

cd backports-4.4.2-1
make clean
make defconfig-wifi
make
sudo make install

and reboot.

Apt-get through proxy

First, try with this :

sudo http_proxy='http://user:pass@proxy.example.com:8080/' apt-get install package-name

If that doesn't work, open the following file sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf

Edit the content to be as below :

Acquire::http::proxy "http://:@:/";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://:@:/";
Acquire::https::proxy "https://:@:/";

GNU/Linux

Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux.

 It is GNU plus Linux.

Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run.

The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux.

All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Buying first house

Found some good writing. Thought I share it here.

Already bought a house though. Didn't use these similar methods.

Dapatkan cashback RM35,000 + extra positif cashflow RM100 sebulan dengan pembelian rumah :

Beli rumah RM185,000 je.. Market value untuk rumah RM220,000
Cashback RM35,000 adalah dari lebihan pembiayaan yang anda buat sekiranya anda markup loan..

Jom kita kira kat abwah

loan 100% dari RM220,000.. So bank bagi RM220,000.. Owner nak RM185,000 je.. Balance ada RM35,000 kat tangan

Macam mana boleh dapat cashflow RM200 sebulan?

Market rental RM1,000 sebulan.. Dimana installment untuk rumah ni kalau loan 100% adalah RM1,000.. Skim ini menawarkan bantuan kewangan dari kerajaan sebanyak RM200 sebulan..

.
Installment RM1,000 - RM200 (bantuan kewangan dari kerajaan) = RM800.. Sewa RM1,000 sebulan.. Maka ada lah baki RM200 sebulan sekiranya rumah ini dibeli dan di SEWAKAN..also with RM35,000 cash.
