[17:33] <swift110> how do I update to the latest kernel
[17:36] <xangua> Why you need to upgrade to "latest"kernel?
[18:19] <swift110> xangua, I am hoping it will solve suspend issues
[18:59] <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
[19:05] <xangua> ! Mainline | anyways
[19:05] <swift110> ok cool xangua thans
[19:05] <swift110> yes xangua
[22:48] <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.
[22:50] <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
[22:58] <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,,,
[22:59] <wxl> you could always filter them out by installed size
[23:11] <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
[23:12] <wxl> might want to ask in #ubuntu since there's a wider audience
[23:13] <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>
[23:17] <James1138> I can wait. <smile>
[23:19] <wxl> ah hah
[23:19] <wxl> i THINK this will do what i suggested
[23:20] <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
[23:21] <wxl> just set fill the quotes in searchterm with what you want to search for
[23:22] <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?
[23:23] <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
[23:24] <wxl> i assume you already saw https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Accessibility#Voice_Recognition
[23:24] <James1138> Oh.. sorry
[23:25] <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
[23:26] <wxl> note they have an irc channel
[23:27] <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
[23:28] <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
[23:29] <wxl> (actually i'd suggest you'd have MORE luck with SDR) :(
[23:31] <James1138> Thanks... will google that right now and start reading
[23:31] <wxl> good luck
