PPA Issues – Cannot Add PPA, Check PPA Name or Format

ppa

Internet connection is working.

apt-get is working.

Trying to add ppa:cooperjona/lightread but an error has raised:

Cannot add PPA 'ppa:cooperjona/lightread' . Please check that the PPA name or format is correct.

I supposed there is an error in writing or in the PPA.

I tried also the 'ppa:tombeckmann/ppa' but with same error.

Open Terminal and run the command

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ca-certificates

It may work, but if doesn't then run

sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:ppaname/ppa

instead of sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ppaname/ppa
