How Do I Update /etc/apt/sources.list To 8.04 ??

Asked by taurus

I recently upgraded to 8.04 from 7.10. How can I update my etc/apt/sources.list to reflect future updates of 8.04? So far, I have the following in my list. I want to make sure I have the most updated info for my 8.04:

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)]/ gutsy main restricted
# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.

Firstly, why has it not update your sources.list when it upgraded?

You will find a default version of the 8.04 list here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=783577 just replace the contents of your sources.list file with it. Remember to update the sources once the list is changed.

Hey, Steven, thanks a million for the tip. One more question for you related to this is, how can I add a line to my sources.list in order to update Deluge and Opera? And, how do I obtain the public key for them?

Do you have a specific repository/repositories in mind?

If this is the case find the deb line for it which will look something like the following:

deb http://repo.something hardy main

Then under System > Administration > Software Sources, and under the tab for third party repositories click add and paste that line in.

As for the keys, if one is available for the repository somewhere on the site it will tell you how to install it.

The problem is too easy to solve :-). You must do some things:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Replace gutsy with hardy in .every sentence.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

Then you will upgrade your gutsy yo hardy.

If you want more information, visit this url, is a better explanation.
