Error?

[Luka_Power]

why isn't this working? I enter the sudo apt-add-repository for my system and nothing happens except for a new command line opening up. Am I doing something wrong? Did I miss a step?

That's what Linux commands do when they succeed--return to the command prompt. Go on to the next step.

[Luka_Power]

I did and ran into several permission errors.

Post the terminal output, including the command exactly as you entered it.

apt-get update

That has to be run with sudo.

What version of Ubuntu do you have?

[Luka_Power]

16.04

[dimesio]

16.04

You shouldn't be trying to install 18.04 packages on 16.04, and doing so is not supported here. Plus, 16.04 is EOL. You really should upgrade your system.

[Luka_Power]

updated ubuntu to 18, still got this error:

[Luka_Power]

Fixed it.

I'm trying to run something called brstm converter and I keep getting an error that basically tells me the converter was denied access to the directory the mp3 was in, meaning I can't convert the file to a brstm. could I get some help on this?
