Ok, but before i do the sudo nano thing, for future ref, can you show me how I go from the open root terminal to launching my preferred file manger please?

22

In the open terminal, elevate to Root:

sudo -i

Then in that same open terminal (Which should now show its home path as root)
Type your file manager name to launch it.
Zorin OS Core:

nautilus

Zorin OS Lite:

thunar

I use Nemo FM so:

nemo

Bingo, PPA is working- hopefully it should run smooth from here on it. Thx very much, as always, your sheer brilliance amazes me.
Just a thought though, when I do next use my proxy- - - have I beggared everything up there now?

EDIT UPDATE_ Unitootin is installed and working - ta very much

Wish I had known sooner that you needed that...:stuck_out_tongue:
Add

export HTTP_PROXY="[username]:[password]@[proxy-web-or-IP-address]:[port-number]"
export HTTPS_PROXY="[username]:[password]@[proxy-web-or-IP-address]:[port-number]"
export FTP_PROXY="[username]:[password]@ [proxy-web-or-IP-address]:[port-number]"
...
export NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1,::1"

To your home ~/.profile file...

Wish I had thought of it sooner~

Zorin did not like the change we made to profile, threw up a generic error. Reversed the changes, started fine. Will come back that later when I need Lantern next

29

Did you replace [username]:[password] and [proxy-web-or-IP-address] as well as :[port-number] with the actual values rather than the generic stand ins used above?

No, that's why i took it out rather than fiddle with it.
I need to go back on line fire up Lantern and check their details and right now, I am short of time~
It was low priority.
I had this guy breathing down my neck to set up his machine.
But, we achieved my aim, so again, job well done.
Thanks
