just upgraded to fedora 25

Δευτέρα 12 Δεκεμβρίου 2017

Η έκδοση που χρησιμοποιούσα, η 23, δε θα ενημερώνεται πλέον μετά την 20/12/2016.

Χρειάζεται οπωσδήποτε το dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
Οπότε, αν δεν το εχουμε, το εγκαθιστούμε με την εντολή

$ sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade


Η αναβάθμιση από το 23 στο 25 [δεν είχα κάνει αναβάθμιση στο 24]
Έγινε με μόνο τρεις εντολές στο τερματικό
Ήτοι:

1] ενημέρωση
$ sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

2] Κατέβασμα των αρχείων της νεας έκδοσης Fedora 25
$ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --allowerasing --releasever=25

3] Επανεκίνηση και αυτόματη εγκατάσταση, καθάρισμα άχρηστων πακέτων λογισμικού κλπ.
$ sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

[σε κάποια στιγμή με ρώτησε απλώς αν θέλω τα “κλειδιά” και απάντησα y [=yes]]

Ολόκληρη η διαδικασία πήρε τρεις ώρες.

The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
(Long-Term Support) for its Desktop, Server, Cloud, and Core products,
as well as other flavours of Ubuntu with long-term support.

We have expanded our hardware enablement offering since 12.04, and with
14.04.5, this point release contains an updated kernel and X stack for
new installations to support new hardware across all our supported
architectures, not just x86.

As usual, this point release includes many updates, and updated
installation media has been provided so that fewer updates will need to
be downloaded after installation.  These include security updates and
corrections for other high-impact bugs, with a focus on maintaining
stability and compatibility with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Kubuntu 14.04.5 LTS, Edubuntu 14.04.5 LTS, Xubuntu 14.04.5 LTS,
Mythbuntu 14.04.5 LTS, Ubuntu GNOME 14.04.5 LTS, Lubuntu 14.04.5 LTS,
Ubuntu Kylin 14.04.5 LTS, and Ubuntu Studio 14.04.5 LTS are also now
available. More details can be found in their individual release notes:

    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes#Official_flavours

Maintenance updates will be provided for 5 years for Ubuntu Desktop,
Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Cloud, Ubuntu Core, Ubuntu Kylin, Edubuntu, and
Kubuntu.  All the remaining flavours will be supported for 3 years.

To get Ubuntu 14.04.5
---------------------

In order to download Ubuntu 14.04.5, visit:

Users of Ubuntu 12.04 will be offered an automatic upgrade to

see:

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TrustyUpgrades

As always, upgrades to the latest version of Ubuntu are entirely free of
charge.

in-depth notes on the release itself.  They are available at:

The service can be used only in Google Chromium.
You open a Google Document and you click

then you choose the language ( I prefer US English)
and you click the microphone icon.
It works pretty well if you have a good microphone,
I personally used an external one.

The short text I dictated was from GEORGE ORWELL's book,
"Animal Farm".

WORD COUNT 404

The words in red contain a spelling error, or are completely wrong.
The words in blue are the ones that the service SHOULD HAVE TYPED INSTEAD.
As I'm a non-native speaker of English, I suppose I've mispronounced a few.


The service isn't flawless, but it looked like a miracle to me!
I sort of felt like, Scotty, on the spaceship Enterprise, dictating to my computer!
Watch him trying to dictate to a pre-voice typing one
on youtube!


There are a lot of extra things  you can do with the text (e.g edit your text), apart from dictating
that you can see here:
