The following command which you mentioned doesn't install the software, it just adds the PPA repoository so that you can then install the software:

Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:...

You are 100% correct about download from Steam instead of ppa.

However, the reason I made that suggestion is that a couple of months after 15.10 had been released, it was impossible for me to...

Try Limbo & Bastion, both are available through Steam and both have a demo you can try for free to see if they run properly on your machine.

What version of Ubuntu are you running? Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 15.10, Ubuntu 16.04, etc.
Some versions may not support Steam out of the box and you may need to add the ppa.

I've been getting by with Musescore 1 until now and I'll stick with it for the time being. I had doubts about the upgrade due to some dependencies being uninstalled such as ubuntu-desktop so I...

Contact whomever ported the game over to Linux, who BTW is usually a different company than the developers. You'd be surprised at how many of these people I've contacted and I've usually been helped...

Hi,
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.1LTS and I've been having annoying problems with my sound. At random while listening to music or watching a video the volume will spike up to 100% briefly (for about a...

Thanks for you input. I had marked the thread as solved after a couple of months of no one discussing anything about it and just today while I was trying to install emusic manager again (I just...

Thanks,
That's what I figured. That explains everything.

I tried to add the ppa and it wouldn't let me.
I used to use faenza with Ubuntu 12.04 but now that I've updated to 14.04 I can't get faenza to work.

Thanks for your prompt response.
I kept looking around and I came to the conclusion that indeed, MyUnity is NOT available for Ubuntu14.04 and as you mentioned, the development stops at version 3...

Does anyone know if MyUnity is no longer available for Ubuntu14.04? I've looked everywhere and it seems like it's not available anymore but I could be wrong.

I get the same message when trying to use the youtube app, but when I actually click on any other video or when I'm using youtube through Firefox, everything works fine. I think that message is...

It's just a thought, but try running Lubuntu or Xubuntu instead. Those two distributions are compatible with more hardware than the regular Ubuntu. Not knowing which version you're running, but I'm...

Along the same lines, you can copy the exact error as suggested and paste it HERE on this thread you started, then we will be better able to help you out. No need to worry, I still consider myself a...
