Ubuntu :: Software Sources Got Currupted / Get That Back?
Feb 17, 2010
I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I have added new PPA using a command, but this command got frozen. So I have closed terminal and reopen it.
Now I see "software sources" got corrupted. Please see attachments of System | Administration | Software Sources where all of the check-boxes are empty and and Other Software list is empty.
I have checked file /etc/apt/sources.list and there is the following text in it code...
Is there any way I can get this source list back?

19:25 into this video has a question about back-ups:[URL].. it is basically asking how to save files from different sources (mac harddrive, windows harddrive, sd-card, cd's) and they want to ensure pictures from a digital camera dont get overwritten (there are multiple 001.jpg, 002.jpg, ... files -- maybe md5sum will help here).
i assume rsync would be good in this case but i am not sure what the syntax would be. i also assume that the rsync command is available for mac (i am more of an scp guy) but i have been proven wrong on assuming bash compatability between linux/ os-x before.

I've got the following problem: I just noticed that there were just very few notifications about updating the system (usually there are damn many of them in a week) So I opened the update manager and clicked on "refresh list". The following result popped up: p,li{white-space:pre-wrap;}E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main/Sources Sources 404 Not Found First I thought, it would be just some kind of server problem, but it didn't stop. The next thing was to research the thread and I even found something. However, the solution suggested didn't work at all. (Things, which might have caused this: I installed the default software center |I'm using Kubuntu, but in this case that fact doesn't matter| and used it. To sum up:
- not able to update the system referring to the launchpad main sources for 11.04
- following error: E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main/Sources Sources 404 Not Found It would be great if this was a common issue and I've been simply too stupid to find a proper solution. So you could just post the link.

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 ?

10.04
I managed to delete the Volume Applet that appears by default on the task bar. I'm sure it used to be listed in 'Add to Panel' in other version of Ubuntu however I can't see it there in 10.04.
Can someone explain to me how I get it back?

i have noticed that if vista is not the active partition, hybernate does not work. it just goes black and then back to the user icon screen to log back in. another "slight" problem was that i was not able to apply a service pack. after restoring vistas dominance i was able to install the pack. is there any other work arounds for hybernate? even though you might not be interested in cleaning up after microsoft.

I want to make a program (or script for now that I can use in one) that will backup the sources, but not the ubuntu ones. What I mean say I have ubuntu 9.04 and I want to update to 10.10, I can copy all the extra sources and add them to the sources list, but not the ones for ubuntu 9.04 (since I will have the 10.10 ones). I want to do this with a script, so it can be for backing up and automated.
I would also like it to work in debian (or any spin off of including ubuntu spin offs), that way if someone is switching from one debian based distro to another it can be made easier. The only problem I am having is in knowing if the source is part of the core of the distro or not. I would combine this with one that will backup installed programs, so you could easily move them with you for an upgrade or to try a new distro .I could sware I created this thread already (today actually) but I guess my browser did not submit it before I closed it .

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
[Code]....

I only started using it about two weeks ago now though I've had fun this morning I tried to update with update manager but I got this message:
Could not initialize the package information
An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:

I have installed and uninstalled Ubuntu four times now due to various errors. Right now I am getting error messages anytime I try to use the update or package manager and I get the same message from both:
E: Malformed line 54 in source list/etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
E:_cache->open () failed, please report.

I upgraded MM to NN and noticed all PPA software sources are disabled. This is AFAIK normal behaviour. But now what? How do I enable PPA software sources again but not for MM but for NN.

I have recently started using Ubuntu again(used it before) and I have an ATI card, and as many of you probably know, it's impossible to play minecraft with ATI's proprietary driver, so I need the X.org ATI driver.The problem is, it's from the restricted souce, I have gone into the software sources manager and enabled the restricted sources and stuff, but when I go to install it, it just gives me the same"Available from the "restricted" source" message, and has an update button, I click the update button, and it does nothing

I just attempted to upgraded to KDE 4.4 via backports but it seems a number of updates were blocked and now Plasma workspace crashes upon login. I can only get around viashift+alt+F2. And though I can access KPackageKit via shift+alt+F2 I can't seem to get software sources to load up from KPackage. I want to try enabling the pre-proposed and untested or whatever the other option was in software sources... Unless someone has a better idea

I have recently just installed UBR 9.10 on my acer aspire one. ran into some issues connecting to the internet but have all been fixed now (hadn't disabled ivp6, kicking myself in the head for not figuring it out earlier)
anyway, as soon as that problem had been fixed (can access the internet now fine through firefox) another had arisen. i found that i couldnt download anything through the ubuntu software center, update the system through update manager, or even download anything through terminal.
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install amarok
