Chetan was trying to install [TLP (power management tool to reduce overheting)][1] and encountered this error: + + chetan@Inspiron-3521:~$ 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 Mint, don’t worry. It’s one of the (less) common issue with PPA and can be solved easily. + +### 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: + + sudo apt-get install --reinstall 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: + + sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:linrunner/tlp + +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. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: http://itsfoss.com/fix-add-ppa-error-ubuntu-1404-linux-mint/ + +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) 校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创翻译，[Linux中国](http://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[1]:http://itsfoss.com/solve-overheating-issue-battery-life-ubuntu-1304/ \ No newline at end of file
