Hi John, A ppa can be removed simply through the Ubuntu Software Centre. Once you have the *Software Center* open *Software Sources* from the *edit* menu. Click on the edit tab. Now you can click on a software source and remove it by clicking *Remove* or simply *uncheck* it if you want to just disable it. No need to go editing config files.
I hope that helps. Josh. On Jun 5, 2012 5:16 PM, "[email protected]" < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have some ppa that are getting a 404 failed to get.
