[03:42] <breed> Hey, can someone gimme a hand?
[03:45] <breed> Anyone around?
[03:50] <wgrant> breed: Hi
[04:01] <breed> Oh, wgrant
[04:01] <breed> Sorry, didn't hear it ping me
[04:01] <breed> Still around?
[04:02] <wgrant> breed: Yes, what's up?
[04:03] <breed> Okay, so I followed all the steps to install this PPA, but I have no clue how I access it now.  I can't find it when I search or anything
[04:03] <breed> No clue where it is or how I get to it
[04:03] <wgrant> You'd install a package that the PPA contains.
[04:03] <wgrant> Which PPA?
[04:04] <breed> Bitcoin-qt
[04:04] <wgrant> That's not a full PPA URL
[04:04] <breed> Oh, you want the IRL
[04:04] <breed> URL
[04:05] <wgrant> Well, there could be a thousand PPAs named bitcoin-qt owned by different users.
[04:05] <breed> http://ppa.launchpad.net/bitcoin/bitcoin/ubuntu
[04:05] <breed> Sorry, I'm new to Linux
[04:06] <breed> If that's not the right thing, lemme know
[04:06] <wgrant> How did you add the PPA?
[04:07] <breed> Through command line.  I followed the instructions here: https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin
[04:07] <wgrant> Ah
[04:07] <wgrant> Open Ubuntu Software Center and search for bitcoin. Hopefully it'll find the package
[04:08] <wgrant> Otherwise, run 'sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt'
[04:08] <breed> Yeah, I looked for it in the Center before, but nothing came up
[04:08] <breed> I'm trying that line now
[04:08] <breed> Looks like it's working, thank you
[04:09] <breed> Worked!  Thanks a bunch.  I had one more issue, if you don't mind
[04:09] <wgrant> Sure
[04:10] <breed> How do I edit my repositories list?  I'm trying to install Spotify from here: https://www.spotify.com/int/download/previews/
[04:11] <breed> Not sure if it's the same as a PPA though
[04:12] <wgrant> breed: That's a bit more awkward than adding a PPA. Open up Software Center, Edit->Software Sources, Other Software, Add, enter the "deb http://..." line from that page, then run the "sudo apt-..." commands in a terminal
[04:16] <breed> wgrant: I got an error when I tried 'sudo apt-get update'
[04:16] <breed> W: GPG error: http://repository.spotify.com stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 082CCEDF94558F59
[04:17] <StevenK> breed: You need to run the apt-key line too
[04:19] <breed> I dunno how to do that...sorry
[04:19] <breed> It says some stuff on the site
[04:19] <breed> But idk how to input ot
[04:19] <breed> # 2. If you want to verify the downloaded packages,
[04:19] <breed> #    you will need to add our public key
[04:19] <breed> sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59
[04:20] <StevenK> breed: Copy the 'sudo apt-key ...' line into your terminal and run it
[04:21] <breed> THe whole thing?
[04:21] <StevenK> Just like you did with sudo apt-get update
[04:21] <StevenK> Yes, the whole line.
[04:22] <breed> Ah, that didn't work the first time.  Must've had a typo.  Thank you, StevenK
[04:28] <breed> Thanks for the help, guys
[14:55] <ojii> is there a convenient way to test a branch of a ppa on launchpad? (as in "upgrade" my local installation of that package using that branch)
[15:10] <dobey> ojii: i don't quite understand the question. PPAs don't have branches.
[15:13] <ojii> dobey, maybe I don't understand how launchpad works at all. there's a package in a ppa which fixed a bug i reported in a branch, now I wanna test it
[15:14] <ojii> so I hoped there was an easy trick to do so, something like apt-get install this-branch-on-launchpad
[15:14] <dobey> you add the PPA to your apt sources, and then install/upgrade the package
[15:15] <ojii> dobey, I did that, but doesn't that just get the main branch/package?
[15:15] <dobey> apt-add-repository is the command line tool to add a PPA, it takes the ppa:owner/name uri as an argument
[15:16] <dobey> apt-cache policy $package will show you where the package is installed from, and where other versions are available, given your apt sources (and an updated cace after apt-get update)
[15:17] <dobey> ojii: i think you're using the term 'branch' wrong here. PPAs are not branches of things. and binary packages do not have branches. source packages /may/ be stored in a branch, but it is not a requirement
[15:18] <ojii> dobey, I mean the source package then.
[15:18] <ojii> I thought launchpad did some magical auto-building of packages
[15:19] <dobey> no
