I stumbled into some errors with some of the PPAs I have added (most notably Chrome, which I replaced with Chromium).
Few days ago was released Y PPA Manager 0.5, this great tool comes with some important new features: A GUI for settings, a repositories backup/restore feature, and an option to scan and remove duplicate PPAs, this last one only works for PPAs which are in separate .list files; it doesn't work if you add the PPAs to the sources.list file.
While Chromium team ppas won’t release new versions of Chromium browser, Alex Shkop will try to maintain more-or-less fresh releases of Chromium. Two PPAs were built for Chromium stable and Chromium development version.
Install Latest Version of Chromium:
For now, two PPAs only provide packages for Ubuntu 12.04. Launch a terminal from the dash home or press Ctrl+Alt+T.
Hello dear Ubuntu users,
If I update to Ubuntu 12.10, do I have to (manually) update external PPAs as well?
For instance, I have some PPAs from webupd8 in my repositories. But they were meant for 12.04, right? So I assume I have to update the repos as well.
I'm going to set up a couple of general use computers on one of my lab's work benches.
There's a whole bunch of PPA repositories and applications from the Ubuntu repositories that I'd like to install after an initial Ubuntu installation.
Is it possible to write up a script that will install all those apps and PPAs in one go, requiring me only to double click the executable script and type in the
I have set up apt-cacher-ng on a headless server on my LAN and it is working fine out of the box.
I want to add the Stellarium and WINE PPAs.
I have created an additional url list in the appropriate place, but not sure I have truncated at the correct place
file contains the following two URLs
http://ppa.launchpad.net/stellarium/...eleases/ubuntu precise main http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/p
After installing several PPAs (Wine, PoL) and opening several files with other apps (Like changing from Totem to VLC) I discovered that the Open With option had 2 problems:
Many items on the list are duplicated (As seen on the image for "A Wine Program")
Sometimes the app I want to use to open is not shown there (For example, Virtualbox or VLC)
So how can I edit this list to clean the duplicat
When trying to add the Webupd8 Rhythmbox PPA to my system through
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8/rhythmbox
the command seems to work fine. Then i apt-get update and upgrade, and it shows no upgrade to be found. When i run
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:webupd8/rhythmbox
right afterward, it tells me it does not exist in any sources.list files.
Does anybody know what is going on?
P.S.
I am frustrated with the poor default apps or software which are included in Ubuntu, for exemple brazero, gwibber and rhythmbox. Brasero is a piece of s*** and rhythmbox, I would say its like a beta. Everything does not work at all, for exempel ripping CDs brings awful quality and it cannot been configurated (in default version, in newer it's possible).
