The command software-center apt:packagename will take you into the GUI, and up to the point where it is ready to install the new package.
Why doesn't the command software-center ppa:archivename take you into the GUI and up to the point where it is ready to add the new PPA? This would, with appropriate warnings about trust-worthy-ness, mean that you could get ppa: URIs to work the same way apt: URIs work now. With the result that web pages with newbie-scary command line "install the ppa then install the package" instructions can be hugely simplified... to two simple links. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/722122 Title: Adding PPAs should be made easier.
