For the sake of curiosity, and for all the newies out there, how does a person find a ppa of any specific application?

easy way out....GoOgLe search

http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas..enter ppa in search field

http://www.webupd8.org/p/ubuntu-ppas-by-webupd8.html

On your system to see the packages(available ones,not the latest), if available in repos...

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Code: Select all

sudo apt-cache search <your-package-name>

There is also "ppa Manager" a little program that does all work for you :

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/ppa-manager



Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update



Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install ppa-manager


with it you do a simple search or a deep search and will also list the packages for your specific distro. Oh S*** I posted something.

Google is your friend ! Most can be found at luanchpad ! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q ... 0616,d.eWU
