Properly add, then hopefully remove ppa…

Note that the problems I’m having with this ppa are more likely something I’ve done wrong. I’m hoping properly add, then remove the ppa with ppa-purge. That should, in theory downgrade me back to the original versions of qemu. Otherwise, I may just remove them, and force reinstall the parts I think I need to get back to the old Windows VM working. Then I might try the PPA again.

Proper way to add:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jacob/virtualisation
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
ppa-purge ppa:jacob/virtualisation

apt-get remove –purge qemu*
apt-get remove –purge virt-manager virt-viewer sudo apt-get install libvirt-bin
apt-get remove –purge spice-vdagent virt-viewer libspice-client-gtk-3.0-4 virt-manager qemu-system spice-client spice-client-gtk python-spice-client-gtk
apt-get autoremove
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jacob/virtualisation
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install spice-vdagent virt-viewer libspice-client-gtk-3.0-4 virt-manager qemu-system spice-client spice-client-gtk python-spice-client-gtk libvirt-bin qemu
ppa-purge ppa:jacob/virtualisation

AT THIS POINT THINGS WORKED — I was apparently back the state I was in before adding the ppa. Now, glutton for punishment that I am, I’m trying again:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jacob/virtualisation
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
No joy…

so…
sudo ppa-purge ppa:jacob/virtualisation
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

And back to working… Still no usb 3… Maybe if I syspreped the windows image or installed fresh from this version of qemu????
