Not in regards to the wiki, help pages or when solving issues by the mailing list. Command line allows to copy and paste and it allows assuming that the defaults were not that likely edited as by a GUI front-end. And if the Ubuntu defaults should be very important, or if changing defaults should be very important, it could be done temporarily by command line options, too. >One really good plus for apt's scoreboard is the progress bar at the >bottom of the terminal screen.

It's just not an apt-get default, but also available for apt-get, run it with -o Dpkg::Progress-Fancy="1" for example sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Progress-Fancy="1" install alpine-pico or disable it for apt by running apt with -o Dpkg::Progress-Fancy="0" for example sudo apt -o Dpkg::Progress-Fancy="0" install alpine-pico To make it permanent, edit the default settings as described by http://askubuntu.com/questions/445245/how-do-i-enable-fancy-apt-colours-and-progress-bars Regards, Ralf -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
