[Trisquel-users] Re : Need to compare numbers - Help with script
I never used awk much, if at all, so I have little experience with it (unlike
grep which I have used in a few occasions), which is why I didn't think of
using it.
AWK is a very simple programming language. Very simple to learn too,
especially if you know the basics of the languages that inspired it: C
(Boolean operators, conditional statements, loops, numerical,
string-processing functions, etc.), sed (mostly for the program structure,
conditions followed by actions, but sed-like substitutions are possible too),
and the shell (pipes, redirections, etc.). If you often need to process
structured text files, it is really worth learning AWK's basics: it will take
you a day of work, and you will save much time in the long run.
I will need your help to, first, understand the code you wrote.
First of all, I wrote the program on one single line. For clarity, you
should break the line. Any good text editor can auto-indent the program and
highlight its syntax (as long as the language is recognized: the first line
should be "#!/usr/bin/awk -f").
The program I wrote consists of one single action, between braces (which more
generally delimit "blocks" of instructions, as in C). That action is
unconditional, because no condition precedes "{". That means the action is
executed on every record. By default every line is a record (the record
separator, RS, can be redefined). It is the case here.
The program uses two "for" loops, "for (i = 1; i
Re: [Trisquel-users] Losing power
> Yes, it can: the processor reads a sensor and shuts the computer off (bypassing the OS) Thanks, this looks exactly like what happened, though the first two or three occurrences triggered a restart. The last occurrence to this hour triggered something uglier. Then I guess it must have been the combination of a noticeably warmer weather today, increased cpu activity, sitting on a sort of fabric cover (both the laptop and I) and dust (only the laptop I hope). It did it again after some time of the same resource intensive stuff. I brought it in a cooler room (just a normal room, but cooler because it is not taking so much sun) on a standard table without any sort of fabric and it seems to be sitting happier there. I must confess I never checked the dust on this laptop, while it might have now become my longer lasting notebook. Thanks to Mate and Xfce, among others. And now thanks to Magic Banana too.

You should be able to add any launcher to the dock, including one executing 'caja'.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Losing power
Can some sort of overheating trigger a power off? Yes, it can: the processor reads a sensor and shuts the computer off (bypassing the OS) if a critical temperature is reached. The lm-sensors package provides a command to read that sensor (and more). In normal consitions, the critical temperature should never be reached, even when all cores are 100% busy. But a layer of dust may cover your processor (under its fan).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Need to compare numbers - Help with script
First, thanks for the reply. Second, I never used awk much, if at all, so I have little experience with it (unlike grep which I have used in a few occasions), which is why I didn't think of using it. Third, I will need your help to, first, understand the code you wrote. It seems to me, it is comparing each number to the entire document, am I correct? I ask this because the intention was to only compare each number to the next line. Basically find common numbers between first and second lines, then second and third, then third and fourth, etc etc.

[Trisquel-users] Losing power
Three times in a row, my laptop just powered off while I was manipulating it, with both battery and power cord plugged in. Never experienced this situation before. The battery was around one third up or higher when it happened. Can some sort of overheating trigger a power off? I noticed that it had been heating a bit more than usual since I was using some relatively resource intensive stuff (intensive for a 6+ yo supermarket laptop). Or could it be that some inner contacts did not like being manipulated? I cannot reproduce the problem after it has cooled down. What evil power spirit has been playing with that laptop?

[Trisquel-users] Re : Can a path statement be too long or the file too big?
Grep worries me because it selects a lot of names that aren't in the pattern file No, it does not. You do not understand what it does and/or do not use it properly. Beside option -F missing (as I explained in my previous post), a tab should certainly end every pattern. For instance, line 297123 of SS.HN-GLU-MB-January2020-PTRs-Rndm.txt is "union". As a consequence, 'grep -f SS.HN-GLU-MB-January2020-PTRs-Rndm.txt' outputs every line including "union", i.e.: $ grep union SS.IPv4-NLU-Joined-HN-GLU-January2020-slash24.PTRs_.Tally_.txt unallocated.unioncom.net.ua 249 r-r-resale-dba-once-upon-a-child-9148-union.static.fuse.net 4 chaco-credit-union-10m-fuse.static.fuse.net 4 mail.unionbankph.com3 gw.interunion.ru2 Including line 297123, 128 lines in SS.HN-GLU-MB-January2020-PTRs-Rndm.txt include "union": $ zgrep -c union SS.HN-GLU-MB-January2020-PTRs-Rndm.txt_0.gz 128 The presence of the 127 other lines makes no difference whatsoever in the output of 'grep -f SS.HN-GLU-MB-January2020-PTRs-Rndm.txt'. The join, sort, and comm-based scripts all were executed orders of magnitude faster than the grep script. The overall run times of is dominated by sort's, which is linearithmic in the number of lines in the largest of the two files. Because grep must output the lines in the order of the (potentially infinite) file, its run time grows with the product of the number of lines in that file and the number of patterns (for each processed line, all patterns are enumerated): that is much worse if both files are larges. Also, without -F, grep interprets the patterns as regular expressions: it is obviously more expensive to match a regular expression than a fixed string. Finally, grep searches the pattern in the whole line and not only in one specific field, as join does.
Re: [Trisquel-users] USB mouse problem
Damnit that was short lived. Return of the scroll issue already. THe cursor really hates being scrolled over RSS, or scrolled too quickly. But only with USB mouse. If it is a 945GM display as suggested I don't know how to fix that. uninstall then reinstall display drivers ?

Re: [Trisquel-users] USB mouse problem
Turning off smooth scrolling in Pale Moon preferences/advanced/scrolling has calmed the scrolling glitch some. Hasn't eliminated it but the scroll is less prone to closing the browser when rolling over rss. It only me took six months to try it without smooth scroll. 20 goto 10.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Touchbar Macbook Pro and Trisquel 9
The boot firmware on Mac is neither BIOS nor UEFI. However, it is certain kind of "UEFI" (Undefined Extensible Firmware Interface) which doesn't observe the UEFI standard. If you can replace its boot firmware, flash coreboot on it. You can still use Tianocore as payload so it works like UEFI, but it's standardized.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can a path statement be too long or the file too big?
Grep worries me because it selects a lot of names that aren't in the pattern file, even while the operation remains orderly and manages to select just a fraction of the target file's entries. I had thought that grep has the advantage of allowing me to identify long PTR records based on permutations of their IPv6 addresses, but such comparisons did not occur in the present set of patterns based on IPv4 addresses, where there weren't any examples of permutated IPv4 addresses in the target file's PTR's. Join selected just 141 matches, which were easy to recognize because those matches alone included the data in the pattern file's second column. Comm also selects those 141 matches; and I used join to restore their counts column. The join, sort, and comm-based scripts all were executed orders of magnitude faster than the grep script. The original pattern file and a randomized (sort -R) as well as reduced-length (one million+ to 300,000 rows) target file are attached, for which join as well as comm find 35 matches in short order.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Touchbar Macbook Pro and Trisquel 9
Basically, you need to do the following things on a Mac with T2. First enter the maintenance mode, then enable booting from other devices, and disable secure boot. Even if you can do these, there are still more problems. We tried to install GNU/Linux on a 2017 Mac Book, but the keyboard, touchpad, and the internal NVMe SSD were unusable. To overcome this, you need a 4-port type-C dock and attach a keyboard, a mouse, a Live USB, and an external disk for system installation.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Touchbar Macbook Pro and Trisquel 9
"Touchbar MBP", what model would that be? If it's a pre-T2 chip model, so Trisquel 9 should boot. With the T2 chip, one should disable the secure boot first in order to be able to boot other operating systems. I have no problem booting Trisquel 9 on my Macbook Air 2015. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208330

[Trisquel-users] Touchbar Macbook Pro and Trisquel 9
I recently tried to install Trisquel 9 on my touchbar Macbook Pro and the installer will not boot. Also, aftwer installing Ubuntu and "Trisquelizing" (Trisquelize script) the system will not boot. How can I install Trisquel on this laptop and have it boot? Is it because of some BIOS incompatibility?
