When I type in this command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
The system echos something along the lines of "Can't access lanchpad.net PPA, please check your internet connection"
My Internet connection is working fine, and just to see if it would help I reset my modem and router. Still, no luck.
I have also tried to add this PPA via Ubuntu Software Center but that has not changed anything.
How do I get past this error? At this point I'm considering totally re-installing Ubuntu 13.04
