[10:36] "E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/aheck/ppa/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file. [10:36] " [10:38] What's this error? [10:40] 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 [10:41] https://launchpad.net/~aheck/+archive/ubuntu/ppa (note last upload was 2010-Jan-23) [10:43] cant add. [10:44] the PPA should be removed ; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Removing_.26_Disabling_Repositories [10:47] so should i go into /etc/apt/sources and delete the entry? [10:48] 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 [10:49] the gui removal of ppa is telling me "failed to download repository information" [10:56] could this perhaps be related to backports? [11:01] 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) [11:09] is there anyway I can go back through with the .iso and repair? [11:16] 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. [11:17] 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 [12:13] fresh install. [12:13] though now ive got several partitions that arent being used and have little information of value inside them. [12:14] thanks for the help though, @guiverc === bastien1 is now known as bastien
