I am trying to use Sony Sixaxis controllers with Ubuntu 24.04, I tried the instructions in the below threads, but no success. I had this running previously in 22.04 (as of July 2024)--don't know why it's a problem in 24.04.

My machine responds with the following when trying to add the repository:
ERROR: ppa 'falk-t-j/qtsixa' not found (use --login if private)
I next tried
