LXLE 12.04.4 sources list issue
-
Hi
Having trouble with adding ppa's to the sources list.
The problem:
Error message: http://pastebin.com/ENuvN6Fn
Description:
The error was when I was adding the ppa in terminal.
At some point I was trying to add caffeine ppa and it gave a weird python error and did not complete the repo adding correctly or at all.
After this occurred, I was not able to add any PPAs what so ever.
*Tried repairing with PPA manager.
So I also did use "Y PPA managers" tools like:
Try to import all missing GPG keys.
Try to fix all GPG BADSIG errors.
Re-enable working PPAs after Ubuntu upgrade.
This did not resolve anything. It rather introduced the problem I have now, which I gave a pastebin link to.
Any suggestions?

An in-between other way to add PPA in LXLE 12.04.4 32bit:
1) Open Y PPA Manager under Start > System Tools > Y PPA Manager
2) Click "add a PPA" > Typer your password > copy paste "add-apt-repositiry ppa:linrunner/tlp" without the exclamation marks > Click "OK" > Wait for the Notice that says "Successful"
3) In Terminal do : sudo apt-get -y update
NO!
Still no results.
It has a fundamental issue with getting the GPG key!

Status update on this issue.
Re-downloaded the iso file.
This time made the usb stick with KDE Partition Manager + Startup Disk Creator (KDE).
The USB booted fine this time.
The PPA issue still presist. Even though I didn't even tick the two boxes for the updates at the beginning.
Going to investigate if setting the language to Estonian at the beginning for the DE environment has something to do with python going nuts.
Howdy, Stranger!
