| foxtrack | What's this error? | 10:38 |
| guiverc | foxtrack, PPA's are 3rd party software sources, checks to see they are maintained, trustworthy & suitable for your machine are all on you, that PPA was abandoned long ago (10.04) so why did you add it? a decade of non-support should have been a clue not to add it | 10:40 |
| guiverc | https://launchpad.net/~aheck/+archive/ubuntu/ppa (note last upload was 2010-Jan-23) | 10:41 |
| foxtrack | cant add. | 10:43 |
| guiverc | the PPA should be removed ; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Removing_.26_Disabling_Repositories | 10:44 |
| foxtrack | so should i go into /etc/apt/sources and delete the entry? | 10:47 |
| guiverc | I would... it'll do you no good as it doesn't support focal/20.04, and anything in it will be so old it'll be of no use (and potential security-nightmare) so yep. I'd delete the entry | 10:48 |
| foxtrack | the gui removal of ppa is telling me "failed to download repository information" | 10:49 |
| foxtrack | could this perhaps be related to backports? | 10:56 |
| guiverc | foxtrack, sorry I do checks before adding PPAs, so can't recall if there are pitfalls post-addition of bad ppa. I'd likely remove manually via editor (or use "#" at start of line to comment it out in case of mistake) | 11:01 |
| foxtrack | is there anyway I can go back through with the .iso and repair? | 11:09 |
| guiverc | the error is only a single line in a text file that needs repair. As I stated last comment, I'd just manually remove/comment-it-out myself with editor, but I'd hope the link I provided would allow you to uncheck ppa to de-activate it. | 11:16 |
| guiverc | PPAs are usually stored (esp. if added via command/gui tool) in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ where it should be easy to locate & correct/edit | 11:17 |
| foxtrack | fresh install. | 12:13 |
| foxtrack | though now ive got several partitions that arent being used and have little information of value inside them. | 12:13 |
| foxtrack | thanks for the help though, @guiverc | 12:14 |
