This come from "johnraff" over on #!.  I use cbs (the original) and ubs (UBU, sit Ubu, sit) as well.

And while this forum is very young it does work.

It will get better as Google's bots roam around.  ( See, I use Google   :lol: )

Now this was a great find.  A terminal based Spanish - English Dictionary using text files.

Smittypaddler - Spanish/English Dictionary for Linux

And I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Tom Smith for this gem!  Thanks Tom!

I installed it in my ~/ (~/spanish) and created a bash function to run it, took a while with Google to learn how to do that.  I'm a noob what can I say.

# Spanish - English dictionary #################################################
function se()
{
  cd $HOME/spanish; ./se "$@" | fold -s ; cd ..

the function allows for parameters and words:
se -h

         $ se -h
Description:  English/Spanish dictionary.

Syntax: se [-a] [-b] [-c] [-e] [-f] [-g[n]] [-h] [-l] [-v] [word or phrase]

Where -

-a    Causes an accent (`) to be inserted before succeeding characters
    in the word or phrase until a hit is found, or the end of the
    word or phrase is encountered.

-b    Builds the (*.i) files used to detect irregular verb forms.  Use this
    switch anytime you add or change and irregular verb form in the
    dictionary.  See the README file.

-c    Builds the (*.e) files used to find the Spanish words for a given
    English word.  This process takes a long time.    As it's
    creating these files, it prints a pound sign (#) on stdout
    for every 100 words processed, so you can have some indication
    it's actually doing something.

-e    List the Spanish words with the equivalent meaning to the word or
    phrase given in english.

-f    Give all of 57 simple conjugate forms of the specified verb, with
    addition description, plus the complex verb forms (see also -k).

-g[n]    The n that follows -g is optional, and takes a default of 1 if
    -g is specified, and 0 otherwise. For various values of n, here's
    the action:

    2    Try to identify all of the actions(verbs) and objects
        that might be either doing or receiving the action,
        but don't attempt to combine prepositional phrases, or
        to combine objects and actions.
    1    Look for translations to individual words and phrases, but
        don't attempt to combine words based on context. 
    0    Try as hard as possible to combine all of the words in
        the Spanish phrase into a single, equivalent English phrase.   

-h    Prints this help text.

-k    Give all of 57 conjugate forms of the specified verb, in a form
    acceptable for a dictionary entry between the lines "conjugate"
    and "end conjugate" (see also -f).

-l    Lists the "like verb" table.  This is a table of some seventy-odd
    numbered entries each listing the infinitive of an irregular
    verb.  If the dictionary entry for another verb lists an
    index into this table using the like() keyword, it's also an
    irregular verb, conjugated in the same fashion as the verb
    indexed in the "like verb" table.

-n    Prevents translation of the output to Unicode characters, e.g. á
    becomes the single lower case a with an acute mark on top.

-p 'category'
    Lists stastics, plus all the spanish words in the given
    category:
        adjective, adverb, article, conjunction, interjection, noun,
        phrase, preposition, pronoun, verb, other, -ar verb, -er verb,
        -ir verb, reflexive verb, regular verb, irregular verb

-s    Lists statistics about the dictionary such as how many verbs,
    pronouns, etc., it contains.

-u    Replace existing old entries in the dictionary files or add new
    entries using the dictionary entries specified on STDIN.

-v    Indicates verbose mode, listing additional information in addition
    to the normal listing of the english meanings for a given Spanish
    word or phrase.

-V    Print the version number, and exit.

-w <regular expression>
    prints all the words in the dictionary that match the given
    regular expression (see the man page perlre, describing perl
    regular expressions). For example, se -w '^lech' would print
    out all the Spanish words beginning with the prefix lech-.

I hope you enjoy it.

Very nice HowTo Sector11.  I'll be using the ssc.sh script myself!  Great idea.  Thanks for this.

[jst_joe]

I hope you enjoy it.

Yes I do!
Thank You

I've been using it ever since johnraff posted it:

pman

Code Select Expand

#!/bin/bash
# oneliner from commandlinefu.com
# man -t $1 | ps2pdf - - | epdfview -
# bash script from johnraff
# pman filename
# convert man page to pdf & show on epdfview/evince

file=$(mktemp)
man -t $1 | ps2pdf - $file
epdfview $file
rm $file
exit

Usage: pman wget


One thing to note, closing the terminal closes the pdf and it's gone, it's is a temproary file.

[VastOne]

^ Very cool...

A couple of questions...

Name the file pman and save it in a path location? And then does it need to be made executable?

[Sector11]

Oops, yes, it needs to be executable and in the path.

I keep all my bash files in ~/bin that is in my path, that way I own them and never have a problem with them.

[Sector11]

The bash script 'sfetch' wraps the kernel line in my default terminal, grrrrrr:



so while the 'machine' did the laundry, I played with 'sf'.

First I went to Text to ASCII Art Generator (TAAG) where I loaded and went through all 304 samples:

  *   )           )                   (    (  (   
` )  /(  (     ( /((        (  (      )\   )\ )\ 
( )(_))))\(   )\())\  (    )\))(  ((((_)(((_)(_)
(_(_())/((_)\ (_))((_) )\ )((_))\   )\ _ )\)_()_)
|_   _(_))((_)| |_ (_)_(_/( (()(_)  (_)_\(_) || |
  | | / -_|_-<|  _|| | ' \)) _` |    / _ \ | || |
  |_| \___/__/ \__||_|_||_|\__, |   /_/ \_\|_||_|
                           |___/                 

Loaded: 304 of 304

and made a selection, there are a lot that would work, this is what I chose.



Next I copied /usr/local/bin/sfetch to ~/bin/sf. Now that's mine to bend, fold and mutilate as I choose.

Then I went to where VSIDO was getting it's LOGO and personalized it:

Code Select Expand

"VSIDO")
c1="\e[1;37m" # White
c2="\e[1;31m" # Light Red
if [ -n "${my_lcolor}" ]; then c1="${my_lcolor}"; c2="${my_lcolor}"; fi
startline="0"
fulloutput=("  $c1  __  _,  %s"
"  $c1 (-\  /  %s"
"  $c1   _\/   %s"
"  $c1  (___,  %s"
"  $c1 (-(__   %s"
"  $c1  ____)  %s"
"  $c1 ( __,   %s"
"  $c1  (-|    %s"
"  $c1   _|_,  %s"
"  $c1  (___,  %s"
"  $c1 (-|  \  %s"
"  $c1  _|__/  %s"
"  $c1 (____,  %s"
"  $c1 (-/  \  %s"
"  $c1  _\__/, %s"
"  $c1 (       %s"
"  $c1         ")
;;

"CrunchBang")

Just because I could.

Another interesting thing I have noticed is that /usr/local/bin/sfetch says:
OS: Unknown 1_2 VSIDO

while ~/bin/sf says:
OS: VSIDO 1_2 VSIDO
which simply does not make sense.  sf is a copy of sfetch with only the logo changed.

Oh well, my next move is to install the latest VSIDO over this one (keeping home), that should fix it.

[VastOne]

It is possible you are not in sync with what is the latest

There are 4 things that are needed for both sfetch and archey to display properly

/usr/local/bin/sfetch  - Is a modified screenfetch that I tweaked to add VSIDO, which I had to do the same for /usr/bin/archey

The correct sfetch and archey are attached to this message

The additional files needed are these:

/etc/lsb-release

Code Select Expand

DISTRIB_ID=VSIDO
DISTRIB_RELEASE=1_2
DISTRIB_CODENAME=VSIDO
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="VSIDO 1_2"

/etc/os-release

Code Select Expand

PRETTY_NAME="VSIDO"
NAME="VSIDO"
VERSION_ID="1.2"
VERSION="1.2"
ID=debian
ANSI_COLOR="1;31"

/etc/vsido-release

Code Select Expand

DISTRIB_ID=VSIDO
DISTRIB_RELEASE=1_2
DISTRIB_CODENAME=VSIDO
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="VSIDO 1_2"

[Sector11]

Now this is even more confusing.  I knew my "sfetch" was not the latest.  So I loaded

Code Select Expand

sudo spacefm and copied  '/media/sda1/usr/local/bin/sfetch', which is root for the latest ISO I installed yesterday.

The results are what you see above.  Funny, the version saved as 'sf', from the copied  '/media/sda1/usr/local/bin/sfetch' saved to my '/usr/local/bin/sfetch' worked but sfetched didn't.

The other three files are already here ... exactly as shown.

The two files downloaded work just fine.

Take a look, is Rod Serling standing behind me?  _{I hear the music...}

I still like the little "sf" version though 

[VastOne]

Sounds like a path issue...

I would make sure you are running the correct sfetch with it's absolute path

/usr/local/bin/sfetch

If all files are correctly in place, there is no way that will fail...

[Sector11]

I've been using screenfetch and archey for years now, but always had them in ~/bin.

When you mentioned that VSIDO had them I dropped the ~/bin versions and ran then from /usr/local/bin/ even though that seems strange to me.   Those are owned by root, where in ~/bin I one them and I can edit them.  BUT, I want to get used to how VSIDO works.  I still have plenty of other scripts in ~/bin.

Including inxi as I don't need root with it there, still can't figure that out.  Some of us need root others don't.

[VastOne]

That is a very cool ascii rendition of VSIDO...

I wanted to keep it as a debian swirl in both sfetch and archey, I think VSIDO is more debian than anything and want to make sure everyone knows that

As far as /usr/local/bin, it is the one place that I can put scripts and know they will be in the path.  There have been issues with /sbin and /usr/sbin being seen in the path in the past and I believe /usr/local/bin resolves it

Of course you can edit those files in /usr/local/bin as root at anytime with the same results.  One of the things I really like about SpaceFM is the ability to edit as root with a simple right click on the file

[Sector11]

Yes, I know you want to keep the Debian swirl.  I only did this because the line is so long in sfetch it ruins the symmetric balance.  Just some thing do do and to try an learn something.

Sfetch says "kernel" but has non-kernel info on that line:

Code Select Expand

Kernel: x86_64 Linux 3.7.0-6.dmz.2-liquorix-amd64
x86_64 & Linux are not the kernel

Archie on the other hand has it as only the kernel:

Code Select Expand

Kernel: 3.7.0-6.dmz.2-liquorix-amd64

And just so you know, this is not based on archey nor sfetch - another I'm "playing" with.

No idea where that

is coming from though.

I'll find it.
