I'm trying to install Nitroshare app, but always get the same issue

Here is what Terminal says:

alex@satellite:~$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:george-edison55/nitroshare Cannot add PPA: ''This PPA does not support focal''.

I've tried to do next steps, according to this

And I got this result:

alex@satellite:~$ sudo apt update Ign:1 http://mint.ipacct.com/packages una InRelease Hit:2 http://mint.ipacct.com/packages una Release Hit:3 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal InRelease Hit:4 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates InRelease Hit:5 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security InRelease Hit:6 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-backports InRelease Hit:8 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu focal InRelease Reading package lists...

I've tried to do it as being said on the site

Here is my system:

    The repo you want to add do not support your version of OS Commented Jan 13, 2022 at 10:31
  • Thanks for response! How can I find it by myself? Do I have another option to install this app? Commented Jan 13, 2022 at 10:52
  • You can try to install/add the repo by hand. And then try to install the packages you need. Commented Jan 13, 2022 at 10:53

The PPA is discontinued, but nitroshare is available in Bionic archives. First remove the PPA.

sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:george-edison55/nitroshare

Then download and install nitroshare.

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/nitroshare/nitroshare_0.3.3-1_amd64.deb sudo apt install ./nitroshare_0.3.3-1_amd64.deb

You don't need to use a third party repository to install cmake-3. cmake-3 is available from Ubuntu Focal repositories (and Debian).

sudo apt install cmake sudo apt install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libappindicator-dev libnotify-dev git clone https://github.com/nitroshare/nitroshare-desktop.git cd nitroshare* mkdir build && cd build cmake .. make ./out/bin/nitroshare-ui

that was what I was gonna say, nitroshares dependancies are still in the default repos but I don't know how long this will last, I know I can't install it on debian for instance
