The Update Manager does not work at all even after a fresh install --'E:Type '“deb' is not known on line 59 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list'

Can you give the output of:

head -n 59 /etc/apt/sources.list | tail -n 1

Thanks

HI
Here is the output from the terminal

anirudh@anirudh-compaq:~$ head -n 59 /etc/apt/sources.list | tail -n 1
“deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free main”
anirudh@anirudh-compaq:~$ sudo head -n 59 /etc/apt/sources.list | tail -n 1
“deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free main”
anirudh@anirudh-compaq:~$

'E:Type '“deb' is not known on line 59 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list'

Synaptic Package Manager and Ubuntu Software Center are not working either .

Synaptic gives the error >> E: Type '“deb' is not known on line 59 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report

And Ubuntu Software Center is taking forever to show me any installation , while I have installed Ubuntu 11.04yesterday Could install a Jedit yesterday but that was the last thing .

Ok can you run:

gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

and paste the file, much easier

Thanks

ok can you see the line which looks a LOT different. If you run:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

find this line:
“deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free main”

and change it to:
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free main

Someone has added quotes which is why it doesn't work, save the new file, close gedit and run:

sudo apt-get update

Is it better/

I am finally able to get Update Manager Work Great Thanks

Just a little more when running the update
W: GPG error: http://dl.google.com stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A040830F7FAC5991

Try in Terminal :

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key A040830F7FAC5991
gpg -a --export A040830F7FAC5991 | sudo apt-key add -

Or if that doesn't work:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com A040830F7FAC5991

This Problem has been Solved thanks a lot !
