Unable to add ppa on Ubuntu 15.10

I just installed ubuntu 15.10 and tried to install some applications. But I can not add repository-ppa. Every time he says that "the user or team does not exist."

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/nemo Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~noobslab/ubuntu/nemo'. ERROR: '~noobslab' user or team does not exist.

Please suggest fixing this problem.

Edit: I am not talking about this particular ppa, every time for any ppa it says the same ...

 sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~teejee2008/ubuntu/ppa'. ERROR: '~teejee2008' user or team does not exist

or

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/themes Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~noobslab/ubuntu/themes'. ERROR: '~noobslab' user or team does not exist.

There was a problem for my installation: a proxy server with authentication, see here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/724224/cant-add-ppa-on-ubuntu-15-10

This results in an error message with an error. But it can also be associated with every error while retrieving data. For debugging, I changed the file:

 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py

And added print (e) in case of catch function def _get_https_content_py3 (lp_url)

Which shows me the real reason.

I had the same problem. It turns out that the date on my system was set incorrectly. This shows if I try manually wget ppa:

 $ wget https://launchpad.net/~ubilinux/+archive/ubuntu/up --2016-02-11 17:41:18-- https://launchpad.net/~ubilinux/+archive/ubuntu/up Resolving launchpad.net (launchpad.net)... 91.189.89.223, 91.189.89.222 Connecting to launchpad.net (launchpad.net)|91.189.89.223|:443... connected. ERROR: cannot verify launchpad.net certificate, issued by 'CN=DigiCert SHA2 Extended Validation Server CA,OU=www.digicert.com,O=DigiCert Inc,C=US': Issued certificate not yet valid. To connect to launchpad.net insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.

The date on my system was one year lower. Correcting the date solves the problem. https://askubuntu.com/questions/679988/how-to-change-ubuntus-server-date-and-time-via-command-line

I think ppa only works for Ubuntu 14.04, 14.10 and 15.04. If you want to download the nemo file manager for Ubuntu (do not use this PPA if you use Linux Mint or use Cinnamon in Ubuntu), try the following commands:

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/nemo sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nemo nemo-fileroller
