update manger

It seems you have left a check mark on the Cdrom with Ubuntu 9.10 'Karmic Koala' on your Software Sources. Please confirm and reload your sources.list.

OK thanks

I un-checked the box in my Software Sources and the following is the message I get.

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:

'E:Type 'deb:[Ubuntu 9.10 _Karmic Koala_ - Release i386 (20091028.5)]/' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.'

This is what my source list file looks like.

HASmith,

There is a problem with the first line in your /etc/apt/sources.list!

   deb:[Ubuntu 9.10 _Karmic Koala_ - Release i386 (20091028.5)]/ karmic main restricted

Does NOT match the standard format as all the other lines.

You need to put a # at the start of that line like:

  # deb:[Ubuntu 9.10 _Karmic Koala_ - Release i386 (20091028.5)]/ karmic main restricted

Which will "comment" the line out so apt will ignore it.

To edit the file in the graphical program gedit you could use the following command:

   sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Good luck,
George

HASmith,

I have made a mistake! DO NOT USE "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" instead use "gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"

You should never use the regular sudo command with graphical apps!

Sorry for my error,

George

Thank you guy's very much. Everthing looks good the Uupdate Manger is doing it's thing.
