Terminator is a powerful tool for developers, allowing you to manage multiple terminal sessions in a single window. Features like splitting panes, tabs, and simultaneous input can significantly boost your productivity. Step 1: Install Terminator First, install Terminator using the apt package manager. sudo apt update sudo apt install terminator -y The -y option automatically answers 'yes' to any prompts during the installation process, streamlining the setup. Step 2: Set as the System Default Ubuntu uses a utility called update-alternatives to manage default applications. We'll use this tool to change the default terminal emulator ( x-terminal-emulator ) to Terminator. Run the Configuration Command Enter the following command in your terminal. A list of available terminals will appear. sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator Select Terminator From the resulting list, enter the selection number corresponding to terminator and press Enter. ...

In this post, I walk through how to use Wav2Vec2 for speech-to-text (STT) and pyannote.audio 3.1 for speaker diarization on Ubuntu 24.04. I'll use a Python virtual environment with Python 3.10, CUDA GPU acceleration, and Hugging Face models. Step 1: Python 3.10 Installation Ubuntu 24.04 comes with Python 3.12 by default, but since pyannote.audio 3.1.1 was trained with torch==1.13.1 and CUDA 11.7, which support Python 3.10, I need to install Python 3.10: How To Install Python 3.10 on Ubuntu 24.04 Step 2: Create Virtual Environment stt@GU502DU:~$ python3.10 -m venv wav2vec2_env stt@GU502DU:~$ source wav2vec2_env/bin/activate Step 3: Install torch 2.5.1 and cuda 12.1 My laptop is equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, so I chose to install and use CUDA. Since the GPU driver reports CUDA Version 12.8, I installed the cu121 build of PyTorch, which is compatible with it. (wav2vec2_env) stt@GU502DU:~$ pip install torch==2.5.1+cu121 torchaudio==2.2.1+cu121 \ --extr...
