There is a GUI. Its in the software center. Software Center > Edit > Software Sources > Other Software

I appreciate this, I’ve tried the same, with the x-updates ppa, because of the x-crashes… but when I reboot the pc, no x started (huge-humongous-crash )

Thank you very much!!

Arigatto this was very helpful! I am having graphics problem (radeon driver doesn't render gnomenu correctly) so this really helps!

CLI might be quicker if you know exactly what it is that you want to do, but what if you don't know which ppa it is that you want to move? A GUI would allow one to browse the ppa installed on the system. In fact a better way of doing all of this would be great. Current method is cumbersome. I have a sources.list with 20 extra ppas, and then there are the ppas installed via the new method, so it's all split up. WIsh there was a more holistic consolidation which gave us icons and other information for each ppa. Maybe Synaptic needs an overhaul?
