We can't really help you at the granularity of "didn't work": What did you
try?  How did it fail? What were the errors?

Maybe read some of the HOWTOs on the web about 'how to ask a good question'
as eg this classic variant: http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Yes that is a different repository from the CRAN repository. They are related though.

I honestly do not know what your question is.  Thousands of people _use_ the
CRAN Ubuntu repo happily.  Maybe you just need to re-read the README...

Good luck,  Dirk
