Hi @Thornybastard,
Please, check if any solution from this topic will help you.
No. None of them worked. And after I tried purging the ca-certificates, autoremove, and then reinstalling the ca-certificates, ALL of the connections failed and no ca-certificates were installed.
So then I tried reinstalling software-properties common first and then reinstall the ca-certificates, but that also failed. Could not even install software-properties common.
I've also tried installing keys before trying to get the ppa, but it never fetches the keys either. It seems like this is some new issue. Since I'm a totla noob I cannot troubleshoot it. I don't know what to look for and I don't know how to access directories.
I think using Cloud 9 is the solution instead of trying to figure out Ubuntu.
I'm closing this as the issue itself (cannot add PPAs) is not specially related to this package. Feel free to re-open if you think it's related or to share a solution.
OK, I'm a total noob to Ubuntu/linux. I've been through all the other related issues here and though most of it is Greek to me, I managed to try some of the fixes. None worked and I'm not behind a proxy, I'm using my home connection.
Every time I try: sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:rael-gc/rvm
I get: Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~rael-gc/ubuntu/rvm'. ERROR: '~rael-gc' user or team does not exist.
Looks the same as the guy back in June, only I know I'm not behind a proxy, unless there's something I don't know.
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 on Windows 10, and I ran the update and the upgrade before trying. This is literally my first day as a linux user. Learned Ruby no problem and now wanna get into Rails.
