What's the name of PPA? (for ppa-purge)

Question

I am trying to find some working examples to learn the wonders on Dataset with XML. Im using this example of the xml data. I want to search through all the CD nodes for the TITLE value.

DataSet dsXml = new DataSet();
dsXml.ReadXml(msXml);

Solution 1

This command will list all the PPA repositories you have configured

grep ppa /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

Alternatively, you can check the repository of a given package

apt-cache policy [package-name]

Solution 2

I recommend using "Y PPA Manager" which has (among others) one nifty feature: it can list all packages from a ppa enabled on your computer.

Thanks for answer, but I still don't get the "string" I need. Line :deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/zeitgeist/ppa/ubuntu lucid main #Zeitgeist PPA helps me nothing in my case...

In this case the full repository name can be shortened to ppa:zeitgeist/ppa. Hope you see the pattern.

He probably also meant "without using a GUI" since he mentioned xorg-edgers PPA.

@AdamByrtek how did you know that?

Sorry to warm up this 10 years old topic. However, I am stuck at the exactly same situation, I am unable to identify the necessary "PPA name" for ppa-purge. In my case, I want to purge the official winehq stable PPA for Ubuntu 18.04? The original PPA install link was sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main' Any help is welcome. ;-)
