Hi,
I'm trying to install Pipelight in Zorin 8 but get the following message after running "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:pipelight/stable"

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

How do I fix this?

Hi,

did you include the quotation marks in the name?, use the following terminal (Ctrl + alt + t) commands:

Code:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:pipelight/stable


Code:
sudo apt-get update


Code:
sudo apt-get install pipelight-multi


Code:
sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight

Hi,

you are trying to install this using Firefox aren't you?.

Also,

are you logged in as "Guest"?, if you are, you cannot add anything to the system, regardless what it is, you can only do this by logging in as your normal user, see the link below about login:
