The GIMP tutorial at the last meeting was fun. I've had a request for a followup tutorial on GIMP's layer masks, or on a completely different note, on web scraping. Selenium was mentioned; I've never used Selenium myself, but if anybody else can do a Selenium tutorial I'd be interested in attending. I do a lot of web scraping with Python and BeautifulSoup, and could give some demos of that. Unfortunately I have to miss this Thursday's meeting (and in any case, my internet's been out for a week and I have no confidence CenturyLink is going to have it fixed by Thursday), but I could present either GIMP layer masks or BeautifulSoup scraping at the Sep 30 meeting, if people are interested. ...Akkana
I'm having difficulty installing a printer. If I go to the Brother website it gives instruction to download a Driver Install tool which leads to a download page. Typing in the model number in the search box gives this error: /An unexpected error occurred. // //We are now investigating the problem. // //Please wait for a while. / Waiting for a while does not help. I have another printer installed on socket://192.168.0.28, so I think I should try to install it via AppSocket If I go into CUPS and select Select Device > Network Printer > Find Network Printer > AppSocket/HP Jetdirect, then I don't what to enter for the host. /$ lpinfo --include-schemes dnssd -v/ returns nothing My linux version: /~$ lsb_release -a/ No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS Release: 20.04 Codename: focal Can anyone suggest what to try? Thanks!
Oh hold on, TN227BK/C/M/Y is the cartridge product #, the model is HL-L3230CDW In my defense, I am an idiot. On 9/15/21 12:15 PM, Kaypo Keepr wrote:

Hi NMGLUG folks, Both topics would be good for me, GIMP's layer masks, and web scraping (with BeautifulSoup) In addition, i'm interested in a Selenium tutorial.

NMGLugers, I am okay with the topics - GIMP/masks and web-scraping - for future meetings. For tonight I may be able to report for a bit on Debian 11/BullsEye from a user perspective. I am happy with the status of Debian stable release and I have noticed a few changes that make it more comfortable for the general user. I continue my efforts to expand the GnuLinux users numbers among low income seniors. Many are capable users, but not interested in the inner workings of their systems. I act as navigator and tutor with mostly good results. See you, virtually, tonight. Thank you, Ted P On Thu, Sep 16, 2021 at 6:38 AM LeRoy Diener <leroy@choosetherightside.com> wrote:

Sounds good by me. If there is time/interest I can go over the basics of Latex/Overleaf which I’ve been meaning to do for a while

I got more votes for GIMP layer masks than for scraping, so at the NMGLUG meeting tonight I'll give a tutorial on GIMP layer masks, how and why to use them, including the quickmask, which is like a special layer mask for making selections. If there's time, I can show some other fun uses for masks, like bump, displacement and focus maps. Or any other topics people want. There were several people interested in scraping, so I could still talk about that at a future meeting. Maybe I'll even have something to say about selenium by then. See you tonight! ...Akkana
Akkana, OK. Sounds good. I don't collect internet data so this is more something I might use. But if there are web scrapers out there you can do the other, too. I can always learn something. Who knows, I might need to ferret out the obscure origami of life, which I am sure is explained somewhere on the Internet.
