trouble installing packages ppa
There are lot of softwares to install which I have to type something like: -
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:smathot/cogscinl
Actually this is what I have to write when I am installing Zotero on Ubuntu 14.04.
The problem is that once I hit the Enter key, no progress takes place and the terminal does not show any activity for a long time and then it shows an error such as
upendra@upendra-Aspire-4738Z:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:smathot/cogscinl
Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:smathot/cogscinl'.
Please check that the PPA name or format is correct.
The same kind of error pops up every time I try to install a software where this 'ppa' comes. Is there something wrong with the configuration?
Currently I access Internet via a proxy server of our college.
