When I run the command



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linrunner/tlp


It hangs after it asks for my password for a long time then shows this



Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:linrunner/tlp'.
Please check that the PPA name or format is correct.


I know the format is correct, I don't know what is wrong. I am not behind a proxy or any other internet blocking firewalls.

I've tried both:




sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linrunner/tlp
sudo apt-get update



and




sudo apt-add-repository ppa:linrunner/tlp
sudo apt-get update



and I too get the error:




Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:linrunner/tlp'.
Please check that the PPA name or format is correct.



I believe this is because the server is having connectivity issues as when I try to visit the launchpad page https://launchpad.net/~linrunner/+archive/tlp in Firefox I get an error too:





Please try again

Sorry, there was a problem connecting to the Launchpad server.

Try reloading this page in a minute or two. If the problem persists, let us know in the #launchpad IRC channel on freenode.

Thanks for your patience.



My suggestion would be to try again later, or tomorrow.
