1. The bullets correspond to the bullets of your questions.
- transliteration of file names: I'm not aware of any utilities written
specifically for renaming files, but there are various modules/libraries
that you could use. Two possibilities are the unidecode module for Python
(available as package python-unidecode on Ubuntu) or PHP functions from
MediaWiki available at <
https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-core/tree/master/includes/normal>.
The unidecode Python module, in particular, looks very straightforward to
use.
- filling in corrupted tags from CDDB: I saw some ideas involving combining
all of the .flac files from each album into a disc image and then passing
that through another program to get the CDDB information. I would hope
that there are better ways to do it, but I don't know them. I think
EasyTAG can easily autotag from CDDB, but it GUI-only.
- tagging files with no tags: There are various 'audio fingerprint'
services, such as Last.fm and AcoustID, which can submit 'fingerprints' of
your audio files to an online database to fetch tag information. For
example, there is an extension for Banshee that can use the Last.fm
service. I have not found any command line tools that do this, but it
appears that there are some APIs available if you'd like to write your
own. Another option may be to look into flactag. I'm not sure if it will
do what you're looking for, but it's worth a try. IMHO, the easiest way to
solve this and the above problem is to send your files to a friend that can
use GUI applications (such as EasyTAG and Banshee) that have the necessary
functionality built-in.
2. Here's one idea: It looks like fdupes can list duplicate files and
exclude the first file in each set of duplicates with the -f option.
Therefore, you can do what you're looking for in two passes with fdupes:
- Use fdupes with the -f option to list all the duplicate files except for
the first file in each set, and redirect this list into a file. Let's call
this list1.
- Use sed to remove all lines in list1 referencing files in your "sorted"
directory.
- Use bash to delete the files from disk that are still in list1.
- Use fdupes without the -f option to list all the remaining duplicate
files, and redirect this list into a file. Let's call this list2.
- Use sed to remove all lines in list2 referencing files in your "sorted"
directory.
- Use bash to delete the files from disk that are still in list2.
The first three steps remove most of the duplicates. They preserve at
least one copy somewhere (in the "sorted" or "unsorted" directory) and do
not delete any files in the "sorted" directory. The last three steps
delete any remaining duplicates that are in the "unsorted" directory
(preserving those in the "sorted" directory). If fdupes is too slow for
two passes to be practical, you could write a script in
Perl/Python/Ruby/etc. to process list1 and then delete the appropriate
files.
3. You can use the script below to compress all the bottom level
directories (except those with nothing in them). The first argument to the
script is the directory containing all the others. Please backup before
trying this script.
#!/bin/bash
find "$1" -type d | while read -r path
do
if [[ `ls "$path" | wc -m` -ne 0 && `ls -l "$path" | grep '^d' | wc -l`
-eq 0 ]]
then
echo "Compressing: $path"
tar -czf "$path.tgz" -C "$path" `ls "$path"`
fi
done
Compressing folders filled with .jpgs probably won't gain you much, though,
unless you have several very similar .jpgs.
4. List the available devices with:
wodim --devices
Then burn the .iso with:
wodim -v dev=/dev/xxx speed=4 -eject file.iso
where /dev/xxx is the device listed by wodim --devices. By the way, you
can save the man page or info page for a program into a file with:
man program > file
or
info program > file
5. I'm not sure I entirely understand your question. If you're trying to
merge directories, rsync may be your best bet. There is a StackOverflow
explanation at <
http://superuser.com/questions/214275/linux-merge-folders-rsync>.

Hopefully you all enjoyed the Holiday season! Just sending out a quick
reminder about the January TriLUG meeting.
No one, I repeat, no one should miss this particular meeting. This talk is
about the Raspberry Pi, which is a credit card sized computer that costs
$35 and runs Linux. We have several awesome folks from Splatspace
presenting on this groundbreaking and highly enabling device known as the
Raspberry Pi.
Be sure to review the details at this link:
http://trilug.org/2013-01-10/Raspberry_Pi
Also mark your calendars for the Raspberry Pi workshop, the following
Saturday, 12 January 2013, at Splatspace Durham NC.
2013 Happy New Year!!

Hai Lugz!
I hope you all had a great vacation! As it turns out, school starts
back on Monday, January 7. I have a few announcements about LUG
Meetings this semester.
This semester we're changing our meeting schedule: we will be getting
together on **Monday** nights at 19:00 instead of Tuesdays. This holds
for both technical meetings and social dinners. Our meeting room is
still TBA.
I figure that the first day of school might be a bit too soon for a
serious planning meeting, so Monday, January 7 will be a social dinner
at Bada Wings in Mission Valley (19:00). Our planning meeting will be
held on January 14, tentatively in the new Hunt Library on Centennial
Campus.
Here's to a great new year of hackery!
Most sincerely,
Barry Peddycord III

Jan, 2013
Message-ID: <CACSroP2mLVz0gkmfrUWg77MPsk6T3oqeWVDMORz4+JFvtq-SDg@mail.gmail.[redacted]>
For our January 10th TriLUG meet, we already have THE awesome topic
"Raspberry Pi" and the AWESOME folks from Splatspace to give us the
down and dirty details on how we can utilize this extremely cool
device. Now, just to top it all off...we will be giving away free
Raspberry Pi stuff!!!
Andy Hunt, author of the best-selling book "The Pragmatic Programmer",
has offered us several copies of the eBook "Raspberry Pi: A
Quick-Start Guide" by Maik Schmidt. Andy may even be there, in person,
to help us raffle them off! Continue reading for more details...
Raspberry Pi: A Quick-Start Guide gives you everything you need to get
the Raspberry Pi up and running and doing cool stuff. You�ll get
started by learning what additional hardware you need and how to
connect it, install Debian Linux and configure it to your needs, and
customize the Pi�s firmware to get the most out of your hardware.
Then the fun begins. You�ll connect the Pi to your home network and
try surfing the web and tweeting messages. You�ll learn how to get the
most out of Midori, the Pi�s standard browser. Then in a few simple
steps you�ll turn the Pi into a kiosk system that displays Twitter
live search information. You�ll also learn how you can control the
desktops of other PCs in your house with the Pi.
Once you have the basics down, you�ll explore the Pi�s versatility
with a series of home projects. Turn it into a web server in your home
network. Convert the Pi into a powerful multimedia center so you can
watch high-definition video and listen to your favorite music. Play
classic video games. Then use the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi to
build electronics projects such as an �out of memory� alarm, and learn
how to access the project using a web browser. Power to the Pi!

The Pragmatic Bookshelf features books written by developers for
developers. The titles continue the well-known Pragmatic Programmer
style, and continue to garner awards and rave reviews. As development
gets more and more difficult, the Pragmatic Programmers will be there
with more titles and products to help programmers stay on top of their
game.
------
Andy Hunt is a programmer turned consultant, author and publisher.
He authored the best-selling book "The Pragmatic Programmer" and six
others, was one of the 17 founders of the Agile Alliance, and
co-founded the Pragmatic Bookshelf, publishing award-winning and critically
acclaimed books for software developers.

Hey,
Tomorrow nights talk on the Rasberry Pi will be streamed live using
"Google Hangouts Live" for those who can't make it physically to the
meeting. The video recording will be available on YouTube the next
day. Please refer to the meeting webpage for details and links.
http://trilug.org/2013-01-10/Raspberry_Pi
The main feedback that we got from the last meeting was about poor
audio quality on the recordings. Tomorrow night we will try placing
the USB microphone on the podium closer to the speaker. The other
option is to hook into the audio system at the back of the room, but
my laptop does not have a mic or line in port, so I am open to
suggestions.
Bill
