Как подключить PPA-репозиторий в Linux Mint?
Всем привет! В этой заметке я покажу, как подключить PPA-репозиторий в дистрибутиве Linux Mint со средой Cinnamon. При этом будет рассмотрено два способа подключения PPA-репозитория: первый, используя удобный графический инструмент «Источники приложений», и второй, используя терминал Linux.
Для чего может потребоваться подключение PPA-репозитория?
В стандартных репозиториях практически каждого дистрибутива Linux хранится огромное количество пакетов приложений, однако бывает и такое, что в стандартных репозиториях конкретного дистрибутива Linux отсутствует какой-либо пакет интересующего Вас приложения. В таких случаях разработчики для распространения своих приложений используют так называемые PPA-репозитории. О том, что вообще такое репозиторий и, в частности, PPA-репозиторий, можете почитать в статье – Что такое репозитории в Linux – подробное описание для начинающих.
Поэтому, для того чтобы установить приложение, которое отсутствует в стандартных, официальных репозиториях, требуется подключить дополнительный, PPA-репозиторий.
Как подключается PPA-репозиторий?
В каждом дистрибутиве Linux, который позиционирует себя как дистрибутив для обычных пользователей домашних компьютеров, есть удобный графический компонент для работы с репозиториями, а Linux Mint именно такой дистрибутив, точнее, я даже больше скажу, это один из самых подходящих для начинающих дистрибутивов Linux. Подробней о том, какие дистрибутивы Linux лучше всего подходят начинающим, я рассказывал в статье – Обзор лучших дистрибутивов Linux для новичков – ТОП 5.
Таким образом, для того чтобы подключить PPA-репозитории в Linux Mint, необязательно использовать терминал или вручную править файл sources.list, достаточно использовать компонент «Источники приложений». Однако в то же время использование терминала для подключения PPA-репозитория в Linux является классическим способом подключения.
На заметку! Начинающим пользователям Linux рекомендую почитать мою книгу «Linux для обычных пользователей» – в ней я максимально подробно рассказываю про Linux и о том, как пользоваться этой операционной системой без командной строки
Пример подключения PPA-репозитория, используя графический инструмент
Компонент для работы с репозиториями в Linux Mint, как я уже отметил, называется «Источники приложений».
Для запуска компонента «Источники приложений» достаточно в меню в категории «Администрирование» найти ярлык этой программы.
Для работы с этим компонентом потребуется ввести свой пароль.
В итоге откроется приложение, используя которое, мы можем редактировать источники приложений, т.е. репозитории.
Для добавления PPA-репозитория необходимо перейти в соответствующий раздел, и нажать кнопку «Добавить».
Далее ввести адрес PPA-репозитория и нажать «ОК». В данном случае я подключаю репозиторий для программы UNetbootin (которая по умолчанию отсутствует в стандартных репозиториях).
Затем подтверждаем подключение репозитория, нажимаем «ОК».
После этого обновляем список пакетов (кэш APT), нажав для этого на кнопку «ОК» (она отобразится после добавления нового репозитория).
В результате, если мы зайдем в «Менеджер приложений», у нас появится программа UNetbootin, и мы можем ее установить.
Пример подключения PPA-репозитория, используя терминал
Подключить PPA-репозиторий можно и используя терминал Linux, именно так и делают продвинутые пользователи Linux (в этом, кстати, также нет ничего сложного).
Для запуска терминала можно использовать ярлык в меню или на панели задач.
Вот пример команд для подключения точно такого же репозитория, который мы подключали чуть выше, используя компонент «Источники приложений».
Обновление списка пакетов в системе
Заметка. Подробнее про установку UNetbootin можете посмотреть в статье – Как установить UNetbootin в Linux Mint?
Пример удаления PPA-репозитория в Linux Mint
Если Вам тот или иной репозиторий больше не нужен, то Вы его можете легко удалить. Для этого можно также использовать как графический компонент «Источники приложений», так и терминал Linux.
Для удаления PPA-репозитория в графическом интерфейсе необходимо открыть компонент «Источники приложений», перейти в раздел «PPA-репозитории», выбрать нужный репозиторий и нажать кнопку «Удалить».
Для того чтобы удалить PPA-репозиторий, используя терминал, необходимо выполнить следующую команду.
После этого также нужно обновить список пакетов в системе.

The base for Mint 20.x
So the application you are trying to install has not been updated by the owner to work on Mint 20.x.

Reverting is possible as long as we remember the changes we’ve made.
The problem is that Grub-Customizer for Ubuntu 18.04 does not work, it has no effect on Mint 19.x (although it is equivalent to Ubuntu 18.04).
What changes he makes and where he writes the changes, and why they do not take effect, and if something messes up, I don’t know.
I used Grub-Customizer only to hide entries from the Grub menu without deleting them and to put a background picture on the grub.

You can touch the grub menu. In fact if you keep backing away from changing the look, or the way things work for grub, desktop or anything else for that matter you are not going to learn much. You can add a theme/s to grub to spruce it up and make it look decent, rather than the very plain, boring look that it is when Mint 20 is freshly installed. Mint Tricia actually came with its own grub theme unlike Mint Ulyana, which reverted back to the plain old, boring look.
You just need to know a few basic rules. If you are going to mess with a system file:- a) back it up first, b) If you can’t boot up after making a change to it then boot from your Live Mint USB and reverse that change. c) Learn how to mount your unbootable root partition in Live Mint, so that you can access it to reverse that unfortunate change you made. Lots of good advice out there on YouTube for mounting partitions and copying files.

Changing the grub background to the Mint Tricia theme is easy.
Just place the new desired figure (in «.png» format) in the «/boot/grub/themes/linuxmint/» folder and edit the line «desktop-image:» in the «theme.txt» file to point to the figure desired.

Thanks.
However, only for Ubuntu 20.x (Mint 20.x).
For Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) it does not work on Mint 19.x.

Fix “Cannot Add PPA” Error in Ubuntu & Linux Mint
Last updated October 29, 2020 By Abhishek Prakash 43 Comments
A regular reader of It’s FOSS, Chetan Jain contacted me today with this question: How can I fix “Cannot add PPA” error in Ubuntu. Chetan was trying to install TLP (power management tool to reduce overheting) and encountered this error:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linrunner/tlp
Cannot add PPA: ‘ppa:linrunner/tlp’.
Please check that the PPA name or format is correct.
If you encounter similar error while adding a PPA in Ubuntu or Linux Mint, don’t worry. It’s one of the (less) common issue with PPA and can be solved easily.
I highly recommend reading this detailed article on what is PPA, why is it used, how it works. This will give you a better understanding of PPA.
Fix Cannot add PPA error in Ubuntu and Linux Mint
There can be mainly two reasons behind this kind of error. Either the CA certificates on your system are broken or there is a proxy set up in your network.
Let’s first try to reinstall the CA certificates:
If the above command doesn’t work, perhaps there is proxy settings involved. To pass proxy settings to sudo, use it with E option in the following manner:
This will get the PPA working. Chetan’s issue was solved with the second solution. I hope this quick tip help you as well to get rid of the PPA error. Any questions or suggestions are always welcomed.
Like what you read? Please share it with others.

Fix Linux mint 20 – Cannot add PPA: ”This PPA does not support focal”.
If you are adding PPA repo in Linux mint 20.02 and getting an error Cannot add PPA: ”This PPA does not support focal”. Then follow the simple command given in the article that will solve this error.
PPA stands for “Personal Package Archive” offered by developers and package maintainers on a service called Launchpad. The developers can upload Debian source packages into a PPA that is used by Launchpad automatically to build binary packages for different architectures and Ubuntu versions that can be used on Linux Mint as well.
It helps beginners to installing various programs in an easy way without compiling them manually from the source code that is not included in the official package sources or only in an older version.
However, we should always keep in mind that a PPA is basically an external source and can endanger the system’s stability. Therefore, the packages available to install in the official repository should always be preferred over PPA. Moreover, even if you need to add PPA, you should check the launchpad page for the respective PPA in order to check what the PPA is for and how it is maintained.
A PPA can also have other PPAs as dependencies. However, this cannot (yet) be resolved by the package management and can only be found on the PPA site.
Fix Cannot add PPA: ”This PPA does not support focal”
Open command terminal
Run the command terminal app on your Linux Mint or Ubuntu and use the system update command to refresh the system repo cache.
Reinstall the CA certificates
After the above steps run the below command that will reinstall the “CA certificates” because it could be broken and creating this error and stopping us from adding “PPA” Repos on Ubuntu or Linux Mint.
Add PPA Repo on Linux Mint
Now, we can ad the PPA repo without error.
In case you are using a proxy server then use the E option after sudo to add the PPA repo. For example:
Let’s you want to add GIMP ppa, then the above command will be like this
sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gim

Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)
The base for Mint 20.x
So the application you are trying to install has not been updated by the owner to work on Mint 20.x.
However, as the application you are trying to install is Grub-Customizer then many experienced hands on this forum would probably say that you have had a lucky escape!!
If you want to alter Grub then do it the safe way….

Observation:
Grub-Customizer was designed for Ubuntu.
There is no, and never has been, a Linux Mint version.
Until Mint 18.x it worked satisfactorily.
In Mint 19.x, he doesn’t like “grub2-theme-mint”.
It shows entries for Ubuntu in the Grub menu and not for Mint.
The changes made by Grub-Customizer, in the Grub menu, have no effect.
If using the latest version for Ubuntu 18.04 on Mint 19.x or 20.x, do so at your own risk.

A very good synopsis, but it’s far worse than that, Ricardo. Its changes cannot be reversed but it lulls the user into a false sense of security by backing up the original GrUB configuration, which is the bit that can’t be reversed. It doesn’t work.

You can touch the grub menu. In fact if you keep backing away from changing the look, or the way things work for grub, desktop or anything else for that matter you are not going to learn much. You can add a theme/s to grub to spruce it up and make it look decent, rather than the very plain, boring look that it is when Mint 20 is freshly installed. Mint Tricia actually came with its own grub theme unlike Mint Ulyana, which reverted back to the plain old, boring look.
You just need to know a few basic rules. If you are going to mess with a system file:- a) back it up first, b) If you can’t boot up after making a change to it then boot from your Live Mint USB and reverse that change. c) Learn how to mount your unbootable root partition in Live Mint, so that you can access it to reverse that unfortunate change you made. Lots of good advice out there on YouTube for mounting partitions and copying files.

Changing the grub background to the Mint Tricia theme is easy.
Just place the new desired figure (in “.png” format) in the “/boot/grub/themes/linuxmint/” folder and edit the line “desktop-image:” in the “theme.txt” file to point to the figure desired.

Hi, grub-customiser is directly in repository:
apt search grub-customizer
…
p grub-customizer – GUI to configure GRUB2 and BURG
To install it, remove first the old ppa :
sudo add-apt-repository –remove ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt update
then :
sudo apt install grub-customizer

I got the same notification with noobslab. Anyone know of a work around for this? Maybe Linux Mint should check on this bug!
It’s not a bug and it’s not in Mint. It means that the PPA owner has not yet updated the software that the PPA offers to work with the Focal version of Ubuntu, or its derivatives.
If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!

Im trying to install anbox on Linuxmint 20 Cinnamon.
When I attempt to add repository for kernel modules I get the following error:
~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:morphis/anbox-support
Cannot add PPA: ''This PPA does not support focal''
What is the issue and is there a workaround? Thanks!
On Ubuntu 19.10, 20.04 and newer the modules are included with the kernel. Since Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon is based on Ubuntu 20.04, I would assume the modules are pre-installed, and the repository is not necessary. If Anbox has problems running, you can try using some of these steps to troubleshoot them: #1517 (comment)
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
it dont work for me, ashmem dont load Failed to start as either binder or ashmem kernel drivers are not loaded

Enjoy!
This changed nothing for me and I am still having the same issues. I have no idea what to do.
people please read the documentation as mentioned here you do not need the modules on current ubuntu or mint
When I try to modprobe ashmem and binder, ashmem says it exists but binder doesn’t and I can’t find it anywhere on my system, is this normal?
I’m running LM 20.3 w/ 5.16.15-051615-generic kernel. Some kernels have it, most don’t. Anbox hasn’t been updated to contend with this.–On 3/20/22, 12:03 AM Golden Boy 9000 ***@***.***> wrote:

@GoldenAJF @hs4842 you can check if binder “exists” by running grep binder /proc/filesystems
unless mint is doing it’s own special thing you should get the following output
it has been part of the debian and ubuntu kernel since 2019
