Hi

Can you clarify what you mean when you say you "can't access software sources"?

Do you mean that Synaptic or apt-get don't work or do you mean that you can't modify your /etc/apt/sources.list?

i can't modify your /etc/apt/sources.list it comes up with permission denied and i have tried it with root

Do this on the terminal.
1. type sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
2. enter your root password
