[chirp_users] Can't add repository
Hi, I have done this many times before, I don't know if the error is coming from the site or if it means something is amiss with my system. I just today installed Ubuntu Mate 16.4.3 onto USB and ran an update. Than in a terminal, I ran: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots and I get the error: input output error
and the PPA isn't added. Any thoughts?

That is not the correct command. You have "add" and "apt" swapped. The correct command is...
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots
You should copy and paste the commands from the download page or the the "Running CHIRP Under Linux" page into terminal.

Sorry, my bad, I did write in the terminal: apt-add but here I think I turned it around. So I still get input output error. In fact, I purposely wrote add-apt-... in the wrong order, with the rest of the correct command, and I should have gotten something like not found or something, but I got input output error with add actually first. So, what causes it to come back with that error? Thanks.

I noticed that my settings aren't being saved to Ubuntu, even though I have a persistence file, so I'll reinstall Ubuntu. That may be a part of this problem. Glenn

No worries. Been there, done that. LOL

Don't know. I'm using Linux Mint 18.3 MATE which is based on Ubuntu 16.04. The command works for me (see attached screen capture).
I would try adding the PPA using the Ubuntu GUI. Attached is what it looks like in my Mint.
Thanks.
