update error notice

Asked by always lost

When I was updating some audio video codecs the following error notice came up:
ian@ian-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get update
E: Type '“deb' is not known on line 38 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
ian@ian-desktop:~$
I don't know which sources list it was , nor how to get back to remove it and start again. Any clues??

Edit your sources.list, copy this to terminal:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
(If you're using kubuntu replace gedit with kate, and if you're using xubuntu replace it with mousepad.)

Probably the 38th line is bad, you can try to repair it, comment it out (put a # at the beginning) or remove it.
If you copy here this file, i'll tell what's going on.
