  Англо-русский словарь Мюллера
Posted by: NN - 05-22-2018, 03:09 AM - Forum: Russian [Russian] - No Replies

Данная тема относится к русскоговорящим пользователям. Как известно, так называемый словарный клиент (для его установки используйте команду в терминале sudo apt install xfce4-dict , если он ещё не установлен) в дистрибутивах полностью на английском и поэтому ничем особенным не отличается от похожего словаря Artha (для установки используется команда sudo apt install artha). Как сделать словарный клиент англо-русским, а также превратить его в известный словарь Мюллера, где не просто даётся перевод, но и приведены примеры? Очень просто!

Установите в терминале необходимые для этого пакеты (одной строкой):

sudo apt-get install dictd xfce4-dict mueller7accent-dict mueller7-dict -y

По завершении установки откройте словарь, найдя его в меню, или запустите командой в терминале xfce4-dict

Далее пройдите по следующему маршруту: Файл - Параметры - вкладка "Сервер словаря".

Замените самую верхнюю запись ("Сервер") следующим образом: 127.0.0.1

Всё остальное оставьте без изменений.

Вот и всё! У вас на компьютере теперь есть словарь Мюллера! И, что немаловажно, с транскрипцией, правильным ударением и распространёнными примерами. Наслаждайтесь!  Smile

  Experienced Apple/iPhone Users
Posted by: Scott(0) - 05-19-2018, 09:00 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (8)


I use an Android phone and have very little Apple knowledge. I'm hoping some of you experienced iPhone users can help.

My mother is a member of a retirement group (70+ age range), they all have iPhones. One of the members, Rozzie, has a text messaging problem:


Situation #1
------------
If Rozzie sends a text message from her iPhone to another iPhone the text message will intermittently display only on the recipient's iPad (in the messaging application) but not in the recipient's iPhone.


Situation #2
------------
If I attempt to send Rozzie a text message from my Android phone it *always* fails. If I send Rozzie an email from my Android phone it is successful.


Is anyone familiar with these issues? Please keep in mind many of the ladies are in the 75-80 age range so any suggestions will need to be very simple.

Thanks
Scott

  Viking 1.6.2 for Garmin etrex20
Posted by: CSNLinux - 05-18-2018, 03:09 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

A couple of days I'm looking for some software to run on LL for managing my Garmin etrex20.

Today I stumbled on Viking. Specs and screenshots look good.
After downloading the package and running the install commands as provided, my system tells me that

Code:
checking for intltool >= 0.35.0...  found
configure: error: Your intltool is too old.  You need intltool 0.35.0 or later.
But HOW to update this tool, it doesn't tell me

any suggestions ?

  Project - UK Thunderball killa / Open Source donation Builder
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 05-18-2018, 02:49 PM - Forum: Coding - Replies (1)

Hello,

adjusted Lotto killas so it works for the UK Thunderball draw.

[Image: thunder.png]

Screenshot of Thunderball number maker running on Linux Lite in terminal and its code in Gedit.
This will pick your 5 number choices from the 39, and then pick your 1 Thunderball number from the 14 numbers.
It will also give you real life choices to make (interactive)

Here is the code -

Code:
from random import *

thunderchoices = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39]

thunderball = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]

# Picks 5 numbers from the choices
x = sample(thunderchoices, 5)

# Picks your thunderball
y = sample(thunderball, 1)   

print x
print y

print ("You have Options - " "\nDonate a percentage of any wins to your favorite project" "\nDonate the stake instead to your favorite project")

Copy/paste in to Leafpad document in Home folder and save as thunder.py


Hold down Ctrl and Alt then press t (Ctrl+Alt+t)
Copy/paste or type into terminal -

Code:
python thunder.py

Hope you enjoy reading this.

  Linux Lite 4.0
Posted by: barnaby - 05-17-2018, 07:52 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (37)

The new version of Linux Lite is due out soon. It is based on Ubuntu 18.04 and uses the Xfce desktop manager. I regularly read posts from https://www.dedoimedo.com/, which I find very informative. Recently he has been looking at Ubuntu 18.04 and various distros which are using it. The most recent is about the latest version of Xubuntu, which uses Xfce as the desktop manager. I think that people on this list would find his comments interesting. Especially the developers.

Just a suggestion.

Posted by: tomg54 - 05-17-2018, 03:42 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

I may be posting in the wrong thread, but, Lite got me away from windows.  I tried Ubuntu 10.04 years ago, it worked, but, as a 50 something, why bother?  My next was Lite 2.0.  Dell desktop from 2004, Not 1 problem. Currently a dell laptop from 2.0 till 3.8. Amazing work by these folks. Dell 1545, I have tried over 20 distros and all have nagging issues from 1st install.  Lie, Never. Thanks for your efforts.  BTW, I have 4.0 beta on a seperate HDD, no issues as of yet. Not real fond of the themeing, but I have already adapted it to my own with, again, no issues.  3 years on linux, in spite of my experimenting, it has NEVER crashed or failed to boot on a laptop from 2009.  64 year old guy here.  Electronics tech since the tube days. Again, Thanks.  Dell 1545, 4gbs ram, t9600 CPU. It had 3 Gbs and a t4200 CPU.
