i have a recicled sun fire v240 that i need to use for central loging server, i got an ubuntu 7.10 cd that i got to install succefully in the server. So foar so good, the problem now is that i cant install any software, everytime i run apt-get update the error says:
[Code]...
I guess the old repositories configured in the old 7.10 iso are no longer valid, where can i find a valid one?
During 10.04 install I ran into an error every time I tried to install packages, so I just skipped the step figuring I'd do it later.Boot up, nothing but the cd in /etc/apt/sources.list. Does anyone know where I can find the default sources.list?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 ?
When I try to use sudo, I get this error message.
Code:
sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was trying to install Tor and deleted a couple lines out of the sources.list. I think I may have deleted something I wasn't supposed to. When I try to run the Update Manager I get "An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Malformed line 56 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist), E:The list of sources could not be read.'"

Here is the sources list (??) as well
don't know much, but when I tried to update I get this error:
E: Type 'sudo' is not known on line 52 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list E: The list of sources could not be read.
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.

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:

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 had installed ubuntu 10.04 and tried to update, got following problem code...
How to overcome this?
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:

I just installed natty, I really like it, but every time I try to install an Indicator Applet, I get "E: The list of sources could not be read."
Edit: I installed by running the upgrade from Maverick.
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.
I'm having some trouble with Synaptic and it led me to now know that there's an error in my sources list.
I did this:

I recently downloaded some browsers using the synaptic package manager and after taking a look at them I used synaptic to remove them.
However when I ran an update I found that these browsers were still on my sources list and I could not update correctly. So I need to remove them from my sources list.

Is there a way to add the iso's i have downloaded in the sources.list?
From what i have read at man sources you can only add .deb files in the list.
I just upgraded from Debian 8.1 stable to testing and finally to unstable, looking for latest software.However, I cannot find sources for security or software updates, the only repository that works from me is
Code: Select allhttp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main.
