Sorry, Linux Mint 14 is based on ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal). Looking at the package lists at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntugis-testing, it appears that they don't have packages built for that version of ubuntu, which is why you are getting the not found errors. It looks like you'll have to compile grass7 manually for Linux Mint 14.
Since that ppa is unsupported on your version, you should install ppa-purge and remove it: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge sudo ppa-purge ubuntugis-testing You can compile grass by adding the ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable repository (which will work for Linux Mint 14) to install dependencies and then compile grass7. I compile several other packages as well so the following list of dependencies may be overkill for just grass but it should get the job done: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential gdal libgeos-dev libspatialite3 libspatialite-dev libcurl4-nss-dev byacc ncurses-dev bison gsl-bin libgsl0-dev libexpat1-dev libexpat1 libproj0 libproj-dev libgeotiff2 libgeotiff-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev swig python-psycopg2 python-numpy python-sip python-sip-dev python-wxgtk2.8 curl unixodbc unixodbc-dev libkml0 libkml-dev proj-bin flex libpng12-0 libpng12-dev mesa-common-dev freeglut3-dev tcl-dev tk8.5-dev libfftw3-3 libfftw3-dev libxmu-dev libqwt-dev libspatialindex-dev libopenjpeg-dev git subversion libcairo2-dev libpoppler-dev libboost1.50-all-dev #Download the grass7 source to /home/<username>/source: mkdir ~/source cd ~/source svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/trunk grass7_trunk cd grass_trunk #Configure grass7 for compile. This command varies based on what options you need but this should work: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/grass70 --enable-largefile --with-sqlite --with-freetype=yes --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 --with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj --with-python --with-cxx --with-wxwidgets --with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.5 --with-odbc=yes --enable-64bit --with-geos=yes --with-cairo=yes #if configure runs without reporting any errors you're ready to compile: make #Make will take awhile to complete, but if no errors are returned you're ready to install. sudo make install You should now have grass7 installed to /usr/local/grass7. The final step is to link the grass7 executable to your /usr/local/bin/ folder so that you can run grass from the command line by just typing 'grass70': sudo ln -s /usr/local/grass70/bin/grass70 /usr/local/bin/grass70 Eric On Tue, Mar 26, 2013 at 4:47 AM, דור פרידמן <dof1...@gmail.com> wrote: > After running the commands I've received the following: > > Fetched 1,639 kB in 11s (145 kB/s) > W: Failed to fetch > http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-testing/ubuntu/dists/nadia/main/source/Sources > 404 Not Found > > W: Failed to fetch > http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-testing/ubuntu/dists/nadia/main/binary-amd64/Packages > 404 Not Found > > W: Failed to fetch > http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-testing/ubuntu/dists/nadia/main/binary-i386/Packages > 404 Not Found > > W: Failed to fetch > http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-testing/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/source/Sources > 404 Not Found > > W: Failed to fetch > http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-testing/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-amd64/Packages > 404 Not Found > > W: Failed to fetch > http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-testing/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-i386/Packages > 404 Not Found > > E: Some index files failed to download.
