I was wondering what I should do to enter a carriage return after each add-apt and I didn't want to ask so.... I did a search for the information. I discovered that to do it I just need to put a '\r'. Cool? I thought so.... until I ran the command. After running the command it spat out:
$ for rep in ppa:dhor/myway ppa:hugin/hugin-builds ppa:mc3man/trusty-media ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair; do sudo add-apt-repository $rep\r ; done [sudo] password for bmike1: 'This PPA does not support trusty' Cannot add PPA: ''This PPA does not support trusty''. I'm pretty sure the problem is the \r because it doesn't say that when I hit the return key. My websearch was fruitless so..... will I just have to press enter On Sat, Mar 26, 2016 at 9:23 PM, Michael <[email protected]> wrote: > DUH! I should have looked at it and figured it out.
