Re: add-apt-repository

2016-03-26 Thread Brien Dieterle 
Oh is it asking you to confirm adding the ppa and hitting enter is like
yes?  If so try adding a -y
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/wily/man1/add-apt-repository.1.html

You could add -r to remove them and try again.

Re: add-apt-repository

2016-03-26 Thread Michael 
no they all returned the same error. I just didn't include the full
print out because it was redundant. When I run the command without the \r
they will all run without error after I press the enter. however, because
the ppa is already installed it says that nothing has changed.

The "do" will execute the command without a /r, but it didn't break the
command either.  It looks like one of your ppa does not support the version
of your Ubuntu.  I bet the rest of them added OK though.  You should see
them when you run

Re: add-apt-repository

2016-03-26 Thread Michael 
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

 There.  A command that will take a list of repos.  And if you did that
 a lot, make it an alias or a function:



 function addrepos() { for rep in $* ; do add-apt-repository $rep ; done
 ; }



 Put in bashrc or whatever and there you go, a single command.
