I want to install deepin music player in my ubuntu. When I run

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:noobslab/deepin-sc

in terminal it says:

Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:noobslab/deepin-sc'.
Please check that the PPA name or format is correct.

Why is this happening? And how do I install it?

  • What Ubuntu version are you using? You need to find a newer version of deepin music player. We dropped ffmpeg a few releases ago and that one you are using is too old. By the way: Tim and me could add the repository myself with no problems and that should indicate your problem is NOT related to the PPA. – Rinzwind Nov 16 '14 at 17:50

Well how to install it is these commands:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:noobslab/deepin-sc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install deepin-music-player

I ran them all and got no errors.

Something else is wrong. Run this command:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ca-certificates
sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/deepin-sc

If that doesn't work - do you have a proxy? If so - solution is here.

  • No, I am. That explains why it works for you and not for me. I do not have ffmpeg but that newer thingy installed (probably avconv?) – Rinzwind Nov 16 '14 at 17:52
  • One of the things installed was gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg – Tim Nov 16 '14 at 18:09
  • thank you Tim i didn't knew that proxy server would make that difference. Now it worked. And if i'm connected to another network without proxy do i need to make any change to sudo -E ?? – Bantawa Pawan Nov 16 '14 at 19:03
  • @Bantawa I don't know about having to make changes to it... It should work without the -E if it is a proxy error? – Tim Nov 16 '14 at 22:16
  • i installed it succesfully, but i can't seem to launch it, i checked the dash in installed applications, i even tried to run it from the terminal but i'm getting an exception error in python? – danidee Jul 17 '15 at 00:38
