Automate Install?

[jmadero]

Hi All,

I am wondering if there is a way to automate the following things with a single bash file.

//edit
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

//restricted drivers
nvidia

//apt get
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras skype avant-window-navigator startupmanager amarok vlc conky emerald compizconfig-settings-manager thunderbird gparted libdvdcss2 kmymoney2 bittornado-gui wine seamonkey galeon acidrip curl xautomation


//ndis
$ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
password:

then add:

blacklist b43 (you can put it under blacklist bcm43xx

save and quit gedit.

The second step is to install ndiswrapper
From Applications - Add/Remove
search for ndiswrapper

It will automatically install ndiswrapper with its dependency

Third: copy the bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl5.sys to your home folder and fire up terminal/konsole

change to the directory where you put the two files:
$ cd bcm43
$ sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf

check if the driver is installed by giving command:
$ sudo ndiswrapper -l
bcmwl5 : driver installed
device (14E4:4311) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)

Fourth: Edit rc.local

$ sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
add the following lines:

modprobe -r b44
modprobe -r ssb
modprobe -r ndiswrapper
modprobe ndiswrapper
modprobe ssb
modprobe b44

Fifth : Reboot your computer and setup your wireless network


I reinstall Ubuntu frequently (I like testing things out often and sometimes it leads downhill). I currently just have the above in a text file and than manually copy paste that stuff to get it set up but would love for an auto process. Thanks!

Copy the bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl5.sys to your home folder before executing this script.

#!/bin/bash

echo " Editing up sources.list file "
echo
sudo echo "deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable" non-free >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d
sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

echo

sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf

echo "Checking if driver installed correctly :: "
echo
sudo ndiswrapper -l

echo "modprobe ndiswrapper" >> /etc/rc.local
echo "modprobe ssb" >> /etc/rc.local
echo "modprobe b44" >> /etc/rc.local

echo "Its done, Reboot machine now ::"

This is a rough script. You can modify it, add echo commands, a few checks/contorls to abort execution if anything goes wrong.
