I am trying to install handbreak and I go to add the PPA and get this.

Cannot access PPA (https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~stebbins/+archive/handbreak-snapshots) to get PPA information, please check your internet connection.

I am using

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbreak-snapshots

Sudo Apt-get update gives an error about it now as well, but clearly that's because of this not working.

E: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad precise Release: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2

I get on sudo apt-get update.

And yes, I noticed my spelling mistake. That error still shows up on update, and I still can't install handbrake

**So now it's installed but because of my mistake, that error on sudo apt-get update still shows there, how do I remove that?

The handbrake-snapshots PPA doesn't exist anymore, it's now handbrake-releases
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases

I suppose that was the cause of the main problem.

I am now asking how to remove a PPA that I added, that obviously was old/spelled wrong. It's giving errors on sudo apt-get update.

I am now asking how to remove a PPAIn a terminal copy and paste:

man add-apt-repositorygives info on removing.

So it gives me this.

"Cannot access PPA (https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~stebbins/+archive/handbreak-snapshots) to get PPA information, please check your internet connection."

Same as when trying to add it, obviously it's not a real PPA.

And on sudo apt-get update I still get this.

E: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad precise Release: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2


So how do I remove something that isn't a real PPA, or how do I find out what exactly is causing that error message.

go to your "Software Sources" click on the "other" tab and remove the checkmarks on the PPA in question, then add the correct PPA. refresh your repositories or close out and run update again in terminal.
