Have you ever faced a problem adding ppa (Personal Package Archive) in your computer. If you are getting error like Please check your internet connection then probably the reason is sudo is not able to find proxy setting. This may happen if proxy is only set to .profile or .bashrc file. So to overcome this problem I have already wrote one post before. Here I am showing another option which is bit easier option. Here you have to add -E while running sudo (note: E is in capital letter). So -E option actually preserve the environment option . See the Sudo Manual for more detail. So to add ppa run the following command sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:<paa_name> This should work now.

  If you are behind proxy then you may have noticed that adding repository is not easy in Ubuntu. Even though $sudo apt-get-update or $sudo apt-get-install kind of command work, $sudo add-apt-repository don't work. To get rid of this problem you have to add one line at the end of the sudoer's file. Use the following code in terminal. $sudo visudo And then add the following line at the end of the file Default env_keep="http_proxy" It should work now. Cheers A.Paul
