Can't add repositories for Ubuntu 18.04

Hello. Trying to install Zoneminder with either Ubuntu 18.04 or 16.04, and failing to add repositories

add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder
add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.32

Both fail.

Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~iconnor/ubuntu/zoneminder'.
ERROR: '~iconnor' user or team does not exist.
root@ubuntu:~# add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.32
Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~iconnor/ubuntu/zoneminder-1.32'.
ERROR: '~iconnor' user or team does not exist.


Any advice?

Thanks,
Brian

Please disregard. It's working now. Not sure why.

Hi,

Glad to hear that you have it working. This may not be an issue for you, but to share an experience that I had. I noticed, that when I was trying to get the PPA installed, checking the ppa policy command, that I had zoneminer-132 and one called zoneminder-master. As a result, I ended up with the Beta version of 1.33. You can check with zmc -v to see what version that you are running. Reverting back from 1.33 to 1.32 was easy as uninstalling zoneminder, remove the master then install again with the script

Thanks

JC
