[11:48] <swoody> crap... I just tested it again and it failed :(

[11:48] <swoody> head_victim: ok, try it now
[11:48] <head_victim> It must have only been altered recently as the cache is stating it was from the 16/02
[12:05] <E3D3> I installed Lubuntu & see it autostart 4 prog's for passwords but I don' t want my only password being handled by so many progr's. Will it give troubles when I deactivate: Policykit, Certification, GPG-passw, Secret Storage & SHH-keyagent ?

[14:32] <Dangr_> Hello everyone! I like to use Aptitude over apt-get but how do I add a repository using aptitude? In apt-get you just do add-apt-repository - is there a like command in aptitude? Would there be a difference? Should I even care and just use add-apt-repository?
[14:34] <geirha> add-apt-repository != apt-get
[14:35] <Dangr_> gotcha my mistake
[14:35] <Dangr_> geirha: thanks

[18:57] <boxODER> hi..i just want to gp through the entire source of ubunutu
[18:57] <boxODER> hw do i get it?
[18:58] <boxODER> ?
[19:02] <stlsaint> boxODER: what do you mean source?
[19:03] <oCean> boxODER: you can get the sources of a package by running sudo apt-get source <packagename>
[19:03] <oCean> more importantly, what do you mean with "entire"
[19:04] <geirha> without sudo
[19:05] <oCean> geirha: right. force of habit with apt-get :)
[19:09] <boxODER> like 'kernel' ?
[19:10] <boxODER> just wanted to go through the 'process scheduler' part
[19:15] <geirha> well, it works with sudo too, but when it's not necessary, migh as well do without :)
[19:16] <geirha> boxODER: apt-get source "linux-image-$(uname -r)"

[23:37] <TracyLogan> I've accidentally turned on screen magnification; no idea what keystrokes did it, so I can't toggle it
[23:38] <TracyLogan> Google's finding little of help; I don't have Compiz (that I know of), so those tips are no good
[23:38] <TracyLogan> And the Orca-related help doesn't have any suggestions other than Super+R (which doesn't do anything here)
[23:47] <TracyLogan> Looks like I do have Compiz (installed by default, perhaps?), so I'm trying adding the Simple CompizConfig Settings Manager . . . yup, that worked; turned off Enhanced Zoom and we're back to normal.
[23:47] <TracyLogan> Not a great experience; if I'd been a newbie, I'd have had to reboot (*if* that even worked)
[23:48] <TracyLogan> Even a popup on first use saying "Hit #magic-key-combo# to stop magnifying" would have been *much* better.
