The apt-add-repository line for installing on linux doesn't work?

[dflock]

From here, this line:

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://typora.io linux/'

works, but when you do sudo apt-get update, you get an error:

W: Conflicting distribution: https://typora.io linux/ InRelease (expected linux but got )

The add-apt-repository line creates this in the /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb https://typora.io linux/
# deb-src https://typora.io linux/

This is on Ubuntu 14.04.

This is probably simple to fix - where is the .deb file? What's the direct download link?

[dflock]

OK, so the .deb is here: http://typora.io/linux/typora_0.9.19_amd64.deb

Not sure this is a debian repo? Can't browse that folder.

@dflock I have tested on Ubuntu 16.04, that should work.

So, what is your Linux distribution?

And if you use sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://typora.io linux/' ? (http not https)

Besides, if only "warnings", no "errors", you still should be able to add the repo and install typora.

This is on Ubuntu 14.04

You're correct about the warning vs error thing - I can actually install from the repo, but I get warnings every time apt updates/talks to that repo - either on the command line:

W: Conflicting distribution: http://typora.io linux/ InRelease (expected linux but got )

or in the GUI (synaptic in this case):

I noticed this behavior also. I was reminded of it when I saw Typora on the HN homepage today. I ended up commenting on it there.

In order to suppress the warning I changed the line to:

deb https://typora.io/linux ./

I tried #331, and seems no warning on my Ubuntu, so I will change that way.

It is still on the website: https://typora.io/#linux

Bump, I just ran into this too. (Ping @abnerlee ?)

[abnerlee]

@hans Hi, how about

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://typora.io ./linux/'

or

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://typora.io/linux ./'

W: Conflicting distribution: https://typora.io ./linux/ InRelease (expected ./linux/ but got )
on ubuntu 18.04.

[ghost]

Tried both of them none of them works..

[sebastianmacias]

I'm also having the same issue on ubuntu 18.04

W: Conflicting distribution: https://typora.io ./linux/ InRelease (expected ./linux/ but got )

[abnerlee]

@sebastianmacias Could following work?

deb https://typora.io/linux ./

[abnerlee]

see #706

Having an issue on Kali Linux. Executed following command:
# echo "deb https://typora.io/linux ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/typora.list ; apt update ; apt install typora
and apt just threw me an 404 error... However if I changed the string into:
"deb https://typora.io ./linux/"
everything works well except a warning arguing conflicting distribution. Anyone knows why? orz

[abnerlee]

@leo-wsy could you manually download https://typora.io/linux/linux/typora_0.9.51_amd64.deb and https://typora.io/linux/./linux/typora_0.9.51_amd64.deb without 404?

Try install software-properties-common to get add-apt-repository command work.
sudo apt install software-properties-common -y
