[00:00] and ubuntu software center closes itself after seconds...not sure why [00:00] you need to first install the sources.list I gave you [00:00] because you don't have a working sources.list file [00:00] this is the first point to solve [00:00] Install the sources list? [00:00] ok i have the list copied [00:00] xubuntu10w: what ubuntu release do you use? [00:00] install to /etc/apt correct? [00:01] 14.04.03 @xangua [00:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12226373/plain/ [00:01] yes [00:01] xangua it's ok [00:01] xubuntu10w you install it as "sources.list" [00:01] don't mess with the syntax, write the word correctly [00:02] ok i will paste the new source list to a new folder in /etc/apt [00:02] you need to save it in your home, then from there "sudo cp sources.list /etc/apt" [00:02] you can't do it directly [00:02] because of rights and permissions [00:02] you don't paste it into a new folder in /etc/apt either: [00:03] ok sorry [00:03] you copy it directly under /etc/apt [00:03] else it would not work [00:03] don't appologize, just focus and do it carefully [00:05] xubuntu10w ping me when you are ready [00:06] ok one second [00:08] will not let me add to /etc/apt [00:08] should i delete old sources/list file? [00:09] well print it and hang it on your wall :D [00:09] lol please [00:09] haha [00:09] so you pay attention to your file system ;) [00:09] i am n00b ik [00:09] me sorry, i love ubuntu [00:09] srs how can i transport file to /etc/apt [00:10] if you have copied "sources.list" correctly to /etc/apt the other one no longer exists [00:10] or it may exist as "sources.list.bak" or so [00:10] which is of no importance [00:10] to do that you : [00:10] "sudo cp sources.list /etc/apt" [00:10] without the quotes [00:11] cp means copy (and the command is cp) [00:11] where have you saved it? in your home, or on the desktop ? [00:11] desktop [00:12] i entered that command [00:12] now how do i paste? [00:12] wait [00:12] if it's on the desktop you open the console on the desktop [00:13] where did you enter the command? [00:13] on terminal [00:13] in a console, right? [00:13] ok [00:13] did you open that terminal from within the desktop? [00:13] I mean on the desktop: did a right-click and opened the terminal? [00:14] i believe so..will redo that [00:14] understandable [00:14] did that. [00:14] Xfce does provide a launcher for the terminal on the desktop, unlike other desktop environments. [00:15] now check the content of /etc/apt/sources.list [00:15] just do: [00:15] as simple user in the console: [00:15] cat /etc/apt/sources.list [00:15] this will display the content in the console [00:15] console/terminal [00:15] ok [00:15] i recieved [00:15] do you have your 3 lines? [00:15] xubuntu@xubuntu:~/Desktop$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted universe multiverse deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main restricted universe multiverse [00:16] ok ok [00:16] sorry that looks sloppy..
