PPA's and unsupported packages and sources are just that.. unsupported. if you trust the creator/maintainer of these packages and/or sources, then you can trust them. i use PPA's to add packages routinely, but i do read and understand the risks involved. no one here can tell you if the sources you have added are trustworthy... if you are having "issues", consider purging the ppa's you have added and get the system stable and go from there.. cheers! > > -- > ubuntu-studio-users mailing list > [email protected] > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users > > -- MH mikeholstein.info <http://www.mikeholstein.info/>
