Cannot access PPA... please check your internet connection

Question

i've tried to add a repository with:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:gottcode/gcppaCannot access PPA

but the system echoed:

Cannot access PPA (https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~gottcode/+archive/gcppa) to get PPA information, please check your internet connection.

even though my internet connection is working fine.

What version is your Ubuntu? Does the ppa has package for your Ubuntu version? — llt, May 20 '13 at 07:32

To install Kapow, you need to download the 32bit version, or the 64bit version.

Once downloaded ( probably the Downloads folder), just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, navigate to the download location, and run the command(s) below:

sudo dpkg -i <package_name>

Once the installation is done, search for Kapow in Dash, and click on it.
