Ubuntu Installation :: Change The Sources That Aren't In Sources.list?

Apr 21, 2010

I am running Jolicloud on my netbook (which I believe is an Ubuntu derivative) and I am tried to enter the getdeb.net sources in so I can install apps from the website through APT but

1) When I entered the sources into sources.list and then the key into Terminal and then went to the site and tried to install an app it didn't work.

2) I deleted the line of code in the sources.list file and when I opened terminal and entered "sudo apt-get update" it showed the list of sources, but on the list were Getdeb.net sources.

My question is how do I delete sources that aren't in /etc/apt/sources.list ?

Ubuntu :: Malformed Line 59 In Source List Etc/apt/sources.list?

Sep 1, 2011

There is a problem with my source list (apparently) I'm running 11.04 if that helps.When I try to use apt-get install update for example, I get: "Malformed line 59 in source list etc/apt/sources.list"The same error occurs when trying to access synaptic package manager, it tells me there is a malformed line and the list of sources cannot be read.This error prevents me from apt-getting anything, updating and i suspect it is affecting the software center too.

Ubuntu :: Software Center - Not Authenticated Sources

Sep 8, 2010

Whenever I attempt to install a new application is sends me a message saying: The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. I uninstalled the alarm clock app and tried to reinstall to try and download a program I knew worked and received the same message. Update Manager works, but gave me a similar message but I was still able to download. My more tech savvy friend had used this box previously while we tried to set up a server back in the States so I am unsure what if any changes had been made to my connection, and he has been unavailable for me to ask.

Ubuntu :: Original Sources.list For 10.04 X64?

May 19, 2010

I think I may have accidentally screwed up my sources.list for Ubuntu 10.04 x64. Does anyone know where I can find the original?

For example, when I try to 'sudo aptitude install zsnes' the package is there (it let's me auto complete it), it gives me the following:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Reading extended state information

General :: Sources.list: What Is A Deb-src

Apr 8, 2011

In a typical sources.list in a Debian-based distro, I see a line that begins with "deb," and right below it, the same repo preceded by "deb-src." I can figure out that that means "Debian source," but what's the difference between a "deb" and a "deb-src"?

My current sources.list has almost all the deb-src lines removed; I believe I did that at some point because Synaptic was giving me error messages over there being too many entries in my sources.list, and I must have thought the deb-src lines were redundant. I assume I was wrong, eh? The deb-src lines must be there for a reason. I might not have been certain the error messages were due to having too many sources, either; maybe that was only my guess.
