i have that problem E: Type 'n' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bjfs-ppa-lucid.list

can anybody help me please

Please copy and paste here the result of this terminal command

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bjfs-ppa-lucid.list

could you run this in the terminal(without the quotes?): "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and look at line 2. See whether there is a "n" before the line, something like this(without the quotes): "n##"

# deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bjfs/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
n
that's the cope and the paste in the terminal
thanx

i make gksudo geedit /etc/apt.source.list
but apear windows with out nothing wrote at him

looks like there is a "n" on the second line. take that "n" out by "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list".

"sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list".
when i put that in tirminal command apear
bash: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.: No such file or directory
thanx ye to care for me

Ahraf, did you type the command without the "quotes" ? i think you didn't. could you, please, try "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" without the "quotes". and if you can execute that command, you will see software sources list. on the second line [as from your output of the terminal] there is an extra "n", so, take that "n" out and save it. do "note" that correct spelling of command is also essential. try it out and see if it works.
