sudo add-apt-repository error on connection (STARLINK)

[Black.Widow]

Hello

I have finally got a fast internet connection at my home in the Falkland Islands.

But I have a problem when I got to add this ppa (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:trebelnik-stefina/grub-customizer)

It times out and comes up with this error:

TimeoutError: [Errno 110] Connection timed out


I did so research and people suggested to disable IPV6 so I did and made no connection. The only way I got it to work was start up my VP and then enter in the command and then it works.

Any ideas please

Well, an idea would be to dump grub-customizer and to directly alter GRUB for your purposes: GNU GRUB Manual 2.12 .
