Pipelight

Cannot add PPA to sources list

Asked by John Gardner

I have followed the instructions to install pipeline via terminal instructions but sudo apt-get update results in 404 errors and sudo apt-get install pipeline results in a package not found . I am using Linux Mint 13 64 bit, and perhaps this question should be directed to Linux Mint forums, but I thought I would ask yourselves first. My sources list shows the correct lines ,after terminal command to add repo's.

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is related to the error, but the package is called "pipelight", not "pipeline" ;-)

Besides that afaik there exist both Debian and Ubuntu based versions of linux mint, did you probably choose the wrong installation instructions?

The easiest way to find out what exactly is going wrong in your case would be to post the exact error messages - just copy&paste them here as an answer.

 Hi Sebastian
I run the following 4 terminal commands:-

1. sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio
2. sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mqchael/pipelight
3. sudo apt-get update
4. sudo apt-get install pipelight
After command 3 I get the following:-
W: Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ehoover/compholio/ubuntu/dists/maya/main/source/Sources
404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ehoover/compholio/ubuntu/dists/maya/main/binary-amd64/Packages
404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ehoover/compholio/ubuntu/dists/maya/main/binary-i386/Packages
404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/mqchael/pipelight/ubuntu/dists/maya/main/source/Sources
404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/mqchael/pipelight/ubuntu/dists/maya/main/binary-amd64/Packages
404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/mqchael/pipelight/ubuntu/dists/maya/main/binary-i386/Packages
404 Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.

If I run command 4 I get package not found, hardly surprising given the
response to command 3
As you will see from the above I am trying to install the correct
package for Linux Mint 13(Maya)
Thanks for your interest

Hi,

Linux Mint Maya is based on Ubuntu 12.04 (precise), so you should be able to solve your problem by editing the following files with a text editor and root rights:

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mqchael-pipelight-maya.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ehoover-compholio-maya.list

You simply need to replace "maya" in every line with "precise". After you have done this, save the files and you should be able to install Pipelight by executing:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pipelight

Hope this helps,
Michael
