Bug sources list

Asked by Javier Antonio Nisa Avila

After upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04, are disabled ppa of 12.10, but in 13.04 I can not turn them back. As much as enter the root password and press on them to activate them, it does nothing.

This same error occurred in the upgrade of 12.04 to 12.10

As I can re-enable the ppa.

A Salute.

In Ubuntu there is no root password, your first user is only a user, it is not root. Your user is in a group called 'sudo' which gives i the ability to run commands as root, but it is not root.

What is the output of:

ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Thanks

Please note, not all PPAs support all releases so you may get 404 error when you re-enable the PPAs.

You can edit the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d to re-enable the PPAs. You will need to run:

gksudo gedit

Then edit the files. Or if you know some fancy bash command to edit them all then go ahead :)
