| swift110 | how do I update to the latest kernel | 17:33 |
|---|---|---|
| xangua | Why you need to upgrade to "latest"kernel? | 17:36 |
| swift110 | xangua, I am hoping it will solve suspend issues | 18:19 |
| xangua | swift110: you mean black screen after suspend? Don't know if installing a newer kernel would affect that but you could just remove light locker and install xscreensaver | 18:59 |
| xangua | That worked for me, 16.04 | 18:59 |
| xangua | ! Mainline | anyways | 19:05 |
| ubottu | anyways: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 19:05 |
| swift110 | ok cool xangua thans | 19:05 |
| swift110 | yes xangua | 19:05 |
| Guest88615 | Hello to all. Sorry about any issue caused by my absence. Was doing 2 upgrades - installing SSD drive and upgrade to 64 bit. Quick question for group... sorry if I already asked this earlier. Anyone have knowledge and/or experience in voice/speech recognition?? I read up on "Simon" - but it wants to install a lot of KDE stuff. I also read up about "Voice Control" - it wants to install a bunch a extra apps like Brasero and Audaciou | 22:48 |
| Guest88615 | s - which I neither want on need. | 22:48 |
| lynorian | Guest88615, there is the --no-install-recommends option in apt-get that might bring down some packages that are only recommended might end up installing less uneeded packages | 22:50 |
| Guest88615 | Humm... thanx Lynorin! I did not think about that command. Now to see which to consider... Simon, Julius, Sphinx/Pocketsphinx, Palaaver (maybe spelled wrong), Gnome-voice-contol, etc,,, etc,,, | 22:58 |
| wxl | you could always filter them out by installed size | 22:59 |
| === Guest88615 is now known as James1138 | ||
| James1138 | Has anyone heard anything (could be years ago) about speech/voice recognition apps? Maybe some webpage that lists them or compares them? | 23:11 |
| wxl | nope | 23:11 |
| wxl | might want to ask in #ubuntu since there's a wider audience | 23:12 |
| James1138 | Done that Wxl... but with almost 2000 people - it may take awhile for them to finally get to reading my question... even more time to replay. <frown> | 23:13 |
| James1138 | I can wait. <smile> | 23:17 |
| wxl | ah hah | 23:19 |
| wxl | i THINK this will do what i suggested | 23:19 |
| wxl | searchterm=""; for package in "$(apt-cache search $searchterm | awk '{print $1}')"; do apt-cache show $package | egrep '(Package|Installed)' | awk '{print $2}' | paste -d " " - -; done | sort -g | 23:20 |
| wxl | just set fill the quotes in searchterm with what you want to search for | 23:21 |
| wxl | oh let's refine that | 23:22 |
| James1138 | Oh Wxl! I think I have a good idea of the number of apps for voice/speech recognition. I was just asking if anyone had any suggestions for or against certain such apps? | 23:22 |
| wxl | use egrep '(Package:|Installed-Size:)' instead | 23:23 |
| wxl | James1138: if you use what i gave you, it will give you a list of such packages sorted by install size, which should give you at least a good indication of where to start looking | 23:23 |
| wxl | i assume you already saw https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Accessibility#Voice_Recognition | 23:24 |
| James1138 | Oh.. sorry | 23:24 |
| James1138 | Yes. I checked the link you posted before asking. Sorry | 23:25 |
| wxl | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Links might help | 23:25 |
| wxl | track down the accessibility folks https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Contacts | 23:25 |
| wxl | note they have an irc channel | 23:26 |
| wxl | that's about the best help i can give you, outside of searching for general contacts for accessibility in linux | 23:27 |
| wxl | there are some such things on that links page | 23:27 |
| wxl | you might as well be asking about software defined radio. i mean, sure, there's people that doing it, but the number is relatively small. i doubt that #lubuntu or even #ubuntu would be much help there, just as with voice recognition in general | 23:28 |
| wxl | (actually i'd suggest you'd have MORE luck with SDR) :( | 23:29 |
| James1138 | Thanks... will google that right now and start reading | 23:31 |
| wxl | good luck | 23:31 |
