Ubuntu
codeblocks package

I have a problem in installing codeblocks20.03 on my ubuntu 20.04LTS

Asked by Lin Guanhua

I input this code on the terminal to get codeblocks:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:codeblocks-devs/release

but have a error:

error:16 http://ppa.launchpad.net/codeblocks-devs/release/ubuntu focal Release
  404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.95.83 80]
error:17 http://ppa.launchpad.net/damien-moore/codeblocks-stable/ubuntu focal Release

E: Warehouse "http://ppa.launchpad.net/codeblocks-devs/release/ubuntu focal Release" does not have a Release file.
N: It is not safe to update with the source, so the source is disabled by default.

I try to use synaptic and "sudo apt update" to solve it, but both come out the same error.

I can`t find a solution that can work out on the Internet, and this problem has bothered me for 3 days....I hope someone can work it out!!!

Hello Lin Guanhua

The PPA "http://ppa.launchpad.net/damien-moore/codeblocks-stable/ubuntu" does not support focal.
See: http://ppa.launchpad.net/damien-moore/codeblocks-stable/ubuntu/dists/ that the last supported release is xenial.

Will have to await the PPA maintainer(s) to "work it out".

-hope this helps-

Sinerely thanks for replying me! It really inspires me!
But since I am a new man of ubuntu..( just installed it also a few days ago)
I still wondering that do I have to await thePPA maintainer(s) to solve it? Or I can try to install the old version of codeblocks?

I try to install the simple version of codeblocks before, but it can`t bulid the code,
when I try the update that error come out.

So what can I do next to get the codeblocks??
-Hoping for reply-

You could find an alternative PPA or contact the PPA maintainer(s) to see if they are interested in supporting the newer release

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=codeblocks

Remember to filter the PPA for Focal to see which PPAs support your release of Ubuntu.

It'd in the default repositories
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=codeblocks&searchon=names&suite=focal&section=all

Why do you need a PPA at all?

Cause I see that PPA is the officially recommended way to install it....
Now if I don`t use the PPA, is there any other way for me to get the codeblocks?

I have downloaded all the package on the website:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=codeblocks&searchon=names&suite=focal&section=all
But it still can`t build the code, alarming "it seems that this file has not been built yet".
I suppose that I have a mistaken codeblocks?

And my codeblocks also mention that

It's in the official repository of Ubuntu so no additional PPA is required.

This should fix your missing files issue
