[21:38] <Zolotkey{iPad}> When I try to install the ppa repo I get the error to check to make sure I am using the correct name or format. however I am copy/pasting from the FAQs
[21:40] <Zolotkey{iPad}> anyone have any suggestions?
[21:42] <veebers> Zolotkey{iPad}: which ppa string are you using?
[21:42] <Zolotkey{iPad}> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:autopilot/ppa && sudo apt-get update
[21:43] <balloons> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:autopilot/1.5 && sudo apt-get update
[21:43] <balloons> http://people.canonical.com/~nskaggs/autopilot/guides/installation.html
[21:43] <veebers> Zolotkey{iPad}: it appears that the faq is out of date
[21:43]  * veebers files a bug
[21:44] <Zolotkey{iPad}> Thank you, I knew IRC would be the best place to do this
[21:46] <balloons> sorry for the troubles Zolotkey{iPad} !
[21:46] <Zolotkey{iPad}> no problem :)
[22:29] <Zolotkey{iPad}> one more quick question, does Autopilot work on 12.04?
[22:44] <balloons> you are limited to an older version.. so, not really
[22:45] <Zolotkey{iPad}> What version do you know?
[22:45] <Zolotkey{iPad}> Would it be better to install it from source on a 12.04 system?
[22:47] <balloons> it requires some newer stuff.. you would get 1.2 perhaps? it's in the repos
[22:48] <Zolotkey{iPad}> okay

[22:53] <balloons> Zolotkey{iPad}, I lie, heh.. It's not in 12.04 at all: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=precise&keywords=autopilot
[22:54] <Zolotkey{iPad}> if I added the ppa would it work?
[22:54] <balloons> there's no packages built for it
[22:55] <balloons> you might be able to find an old 1.2 version.. but you are probably right on grabbing the source and installing it
[22:55] <Zolotkey{iPad}> okay
[22:56] <balloons> would be interesting to see what happens. I suspect 1.5 won't work, but maybe 1.4  will?
[22:59] <Zolotkey{iPad}> Okay well I will give that a try
[23:26] <veebers> Zolotkey{iPad}, balloons: I doubt that it will work (needs some much newer things) but I'm very interested to see if it does :-)
