how can I add repository in deepin?

drpeppercan · 10-03-2019, 07:11 PM

Ok, just to summarize the steps:

1. sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
2. sudo add-apt-repository <what ever repository to add>
3. sudo apt update

That's it, right?

Thanks

@TB0ne the way you reacted to the question was nasty and aggressive and the answer you gave isn't correct now nor was it correct the some years ago this question was asked you got many things wrong first of all that deepin is an operating system completely independent of ubuntu meaning that straight away the answer you provided was talking about a completely different operating system where they had simply added the deepin styled terminal to a generic ubuntu install and the command that they specify is what they used to add said deepin styled terminal to ubuntu even tho the question clearly stated that they would like to know how to add repository to deepin not how to install a deepin styled terminal onto ubuntu so please don't turn around with an incorrect answer in an abusive manner with what makes it even worse a completely unrelated and unhelpful answer which is completely incorrect you asked them to do some base research before asking their questions and i'm guessing they must have therefore come across that site and known that is not what they wanted at all so i say back to you how about YOU do some base research before answering a question completely incorrectly and in an abusive manner as ubuntu and deepin are two very different operating systems.

Hi All,
I do so completely agree with this post. What is it with many so-called Linux "guru's" that they so easily jump on their high horses by blaming newbies for wasting their precious time? If one is completely new to Linux, as I am, it is extremely frustrating to find answers on how to do simple tasks. The last thing people like us need is for some wise-guy to try and preach gospel. In my opinion Linux as desktop operating system will only make inroads when new users feel welcome in the community. Rude responses like some of those in this thread does not help. Cudos to those Gurus who have compassion with newbies and have a real interest in promoting the wonderful world of Linux in all its many forms.

^^Total snowflake who wants his hand held.

Aw, someone wasn't nice enough. Can we be adults here and realize life's not fair?

What packages was he looking for?? Because his ENTIRE QUESTION was "can i add repository in deepin from terminal?" He mentioned zero packages, functionality, or anything specific.

That is done by actually LEARNING, isn't it?? And please explain why forum members should look things up for others, please. Forums like this exist to solve PROBLEMS. For example:

"I read xxx and it said to add a repository I should run yyy. When I do, I get this message, and the repo doesn't get added. Anyone seen this before?" ...is a good use of a forum. The poster has done research, and has encountered a problem that's not solvable, but SOMEONE may have a clue.
"Tell me the command to do zzz" is NOT, when just putting the exact question into pretty much any search engine would TELL YOU the command.

If you feel like it is too hard to do that, or read the documentation and learn on your own...not sure what to tell you.

Again, good for you.

Hello, I had this same problem for a while but today I decided to solve it once and for all.

These steps actually almost worked:

However they yielded the following error:

Code:

~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inkscape.dev/stable
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 95, in <module>
    sp = SoftwareProperties(options=options)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 109, in __init__
    self.reload_sourceslist()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 599, in reload_sourceslist
    self.distro.get_sources(self.sourceslist)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptsources/distro.py", line 93, in get_sources
    (self.id, self.codename))
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Deepin/stable

The solution was given in another site:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/quest...-deepin-stable

and is simply to edit the following file:

Code:

sudo nano /usr/share/python-apt/templates/Deepin.info

and replace

Code:

Suite: unstable

with

Code:

Suite: stable

I hope this will help somebody else, if not, at least I can add PPA's to Deepin now
