ubuntu 12.04 won't update, I get this message:E:Type 'ain' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jonoomph-openshot-edge-precise.list

Hi

Please try this:

* Open the Terminal (open the Dash and search for "terminal")
* Then run these commands (enter your password when prompted):
sudo echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonoomph/openshot-edge/ubuntu precise main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jonoomph-openshot-edge-precise.list
sudo echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonoomph/openshot-edge/ubuntu precise main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jonoomph-openshot-edge-precise.list
sudo apt-get update

* Now you can try to open the Software Center again

sudo echo xx > file

Doesn't work. The sudo does not traverse the redirect. The only part of the command with sudo access is the echo command and the user will get an access denied message. If you use:

echo "text" | sudo tee file

The tee command has sudo access and it will work. Use "tee -a" to add to a file like >> does and just "tee" like > works.

What is the output of :

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jonoomph-openshot-edge-precise.list

Thanks

I get the same message. Thanks for the help though.

Apparently you have created a wrong entry in one of your source.list files (the configuration files that tell package management where to look for packages for installation and updates).

Please open a terminal (e.g. by simultaneously pressing ctrl-alt-t) and issue the command

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jonoomph-openshot-edge-precise.list

Then select all output (using the terminal menu entry "edit - select all"), copy it ("edit - copy") and paste into the message box of this current question document.

Based in the information that you provide, it should then be easy for us to tell you how you can correct that error.

Ok let's make this easy. Copy the below command:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jonoomph-openshot-edge-precise.list

Now on the keyboard press CTRL + ALT + T and paste the command into the terminal and hit ENTER.

Copy the output and paste here as an update.

Thanks
