#NOOBSLAB ICONS PPA HOW TO#

I've been over this before when talking about how to backup installed PPAs. I can understand why, but it's a call for a mess waiting to happen. (1) I never noticed before but in my system exists even apt-add-repository, which is a symlink to add-apt-repository. For example, I have this to add environment variables to programs that otherwise will misbehave, and that are called by other programs that I can't or won't modify. So why I wrote it here? Because this is really a useful technique sometime to "fix" programs that otherwise will not run. You will then regret it when someone will drop a file called "ls" in it with content exe rm $*(2), but hey.

profile (like export PATH=$HOME/override:$PATH), and save the script there - obviously with the full path, original /usr/bin/add-apt-repository in it to avoid an infinite loop. Or if you are really fond of the original name, you can create a directory in your home folder like ~/override, prepend it to your PATH in. It is in effect much better to avoid touching the system program and simply put the script in your ~/bin with another name, like my_aptadd.

Like having your script overwritten or (worst) not having the package updated.

#NOOBSLAB ICONS PPA UPDATE#

Why you should not do it? Because next time there will be an update to the package that contains the original apt-add-repository, problems will arise.

A rose is a rose under another name?)ĭon't do this, but. for i in ppa:noobslab/malys-themes ppa:alecive/antigone ppa:nitrux/nitrux-artwork ppa:upubuntu-com/themes do sudo add-apt-repository $i done You could probably easily modify the script if you want it, or repeating the command on the command line.

You should check the signature for example - and double check you really want it. The rationale may be that adding a repository is a thing that is better done slowly. It doesn't work because who wrote the original script (you can look at it, it's a python script) didn't think that could be useful. Is there any workaround where sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/malys-themes ppa:alecive/antigone ppa:nitrux/nitrux-artwork ppa:upubuntu-com/themes

Is there a way to add multiple ppa's at once without using a script?Īm just curious, why doesn't sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/malys-themes ppa:alecive/antigone ppa:nitrux/nitrux-artwork ppa:upubuntu-com/themes I searched around and saw this question How to install multiple PPAs and applications at once? but it proposes a bash script as a solution. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/malys-themes ppa:alecive/antigone ppa:nitrux/nitrux-artwork ppa:upubuntu-com/themesīut it returned an error: Error: need a repository as argument Instead of adding them one-at-a-time, I thought I would list them one after another - like we do when installing apps. Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/themes Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nitrux/nitrux-artwork Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alecive/antigone sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/malys-themes

I want to add these four ppa's to my machine.
