Today I install Elementary 6.1. And I decided to add some PPA to it to install some apps. But after I use the add PPA line to terminal and press enter. Nothing happened and after I press ctrl + c I got and error. Theis is the PPA that I want to add:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:philip.scott/pantheon-tweaks

And after I press ctrl + c I get this error:

I installed software-properties-common either but nothing changed.

  • This error just indicates that software-properties-common runs on Python 3, and that the user interrupted it while it was performing an SSL Handshake (connecting to a secure website).

I think, and I may be wrong here, that eOS 6.1 comes with Python version 2.7 so maybe try to switch your current python version to the default one.
