Problems with launchpad.net and PPA repositories

8 April 2024 15:23

When executing the command sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:имя_репозитория the error "Failed to download the PPA: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='launchpad.net', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=10)" is displayed.

Trying to add a repository "add-apt-repository" today results in an error. What is the reason?

Checking the status of launchpad.net

Firstly: found the next one status page https://ubuntu.social/@launchpadstatus- in the last 15 minutes the Launchpad.net service is experiencing problems:

We are experiencing some issues in Launchpad. We are trying to get it back to health ASAP

As you can see, the owners of the server (owned by Canonical) acknowledge problems with access to Launhpad.net on April 8, 2024.

Second service: https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/launchpad.net.html shows the same problem - DOWN: Launchpad.net is DOWN for everyone.

Third way launchpad.net status check:

  • news feed https://twitter.com/launchpadstatus (social network X (formerly Twitter) belongs to the company Meta , recognized by the court as extremist and banned in Russia, Twitter website blocked roskomnadzor):
    twitter

    Conclusion: Lauchpad is lying down.

    Update: at 15:38 Moscow time server launchpad.net works again.
