probook #! changes
as per this
* add debian backports and set pin priorities
* add signing key for deb multimedia
* upgrade aptitude
* comment out Jessie source
* tried updating iceweasel as per the instructions but got:
Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "flashplugin-mozilla"
I reactivated the Jessie source and tried again, but the same thing happened. Ignoring that for now since I'm not too bothered about iceweasel, but I guess I might have problems since I've purged the old flashplugin!
Moving away from that guide for a moment because I want to get my wireless working. Having added the backports this method should work.
aptitude -t wheezy-backports install linux-image-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') firmware-ralink
I need to reboot to see if this has worked, but it's giving me this in the meantime:

So, I'll do that now and see if it worked. I also need to to do this, for ease of use in this blog.
[edit] kernel update and drivers worked a treat - wireless is up and running. The code block thing didn't work how I wanted so I've removed that again.
