terminal command review

[zhaotianwu]

I am a beginner user of Ubuntu and absolutely not quite familiar with the terminal command. Could some experts help review the following command? This is what I just did according to a thread trying to fix my samsung wireless connectivity problem. However, it did not work at all, besides I am a bit confused as to what it actually did.


*******@***:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:voria/ppa

From what I can see you have added the voria repository to your sources list. After updating, if it worked, you should now be able to find the various samsung tools in synaptic package manager, or install them via terminal.

+1 yeah . actually in Ubuntu repo's your Samsung driver information not available so by adding a repo like you did , you can able to get it to download and install from your Ubuntu system . . after completion of update from software center or terminal you can install it . if you got any errors then post here.
