Installing software from software center

Asked by davidzaq1

Hello,

I am having problems installing programs from the software center on Ubuntu 16.04.

When I go to the software center and click on a program , I click on install, the program acts like it wants to install but then it stops. This happens with several programs.

Please let me know if there is a way to fix this or what might be wrong.

Thank you.

Reboot and log back in. Then open a terminal and run:

sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a

What is the output please?

You seem to have misconfigured your package management system.

What is the output of the command

cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openrct2-ubuntu-nightly-xenial.list

There are two identical lines in that file. You have to delete the third line, such that here is only one starting with "deb" and one starting with "deb-src".
