update-manager line not know into source list

You have an error in your source list.

Issue the command: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Look at line 2. It says b-src

Change it to deb-src.

Save. Close gedit.

Try again.

Unless you are a computer whizz you do not need source code - any line that begins deb-src. You can make them inactive by putting at the start of each relevant line: #

after changing all "deb-scr" to "## deb-scr" and reboot I still get --->

Could not initialise the package information

An unresolvable problem occurred while initialising the package information.

Please report this bug for the 'update-manager' package and try to include the following error message:

'E:Type ‘b-src’ is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jonoomph-openshot-edge-precise.list, E:The list of sources could not be read., E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'

sorry seemed not to be solution ...
¿what more could I do?

Try:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jonoomph-openshot-edge*

sudo apt-get update

Also, please close the other THREE questions you have posted about the same issue....

actually the 3 questions are related at least to 2 different machines an AMD 2 core and an amd 4 core .... if not my third wich is a 6 core
actually I am on the 4 core machine, and I cannot access the 2 core for the moment I will try later the same
 I will close # 199942 and repeat here what I just postet there --->

after doing what you proposed I get: -->

ed@ed-AMD4cores:~$

did not try the suggestion as the erroroutput was the result of the proposed comand.

I also tried to update. I got 2 updates which I agreed.
tyhis run me into the following error message: --->

details was a very large output (you may have it if you need to (I saved it).
I'll post begin and end: ---->

Ok what is the output of:

Thanks

hi again andrew-woodhead666

here update works, but I have problems to install openshot and you said is the same problem I expose now here:

trying to install ppa this way: --->

Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) and above

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install openshot openshot-doc

I copy paste output of terminal: ---->

ed@ed-AMD4cores:~$

I hope you do net get mixed up with my problems ... but due to kdenlive and openshot I updated to 12.04 which I now think was too early ....

thanks again

¿do you need same greep of 6 cores?

sorry I had'nt read your response.... we are now cruzing 2 problems and answers/information of 2 mashines the 4 core and the 6 core mashine ...

both and the 2 core present as you already remarked verry similar problems around updating and installing (openshot)

sorry for the complexity of my problems ....

anyway thanks ... for your efforts

Lets do this the easy way:

cd $HOME; wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/precisesources.list

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo mv ~/precisesources.list /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt-get update

answer for the 4 cores (will do the same for the 6 cores, if you do not tell me diffrent. but I will wait for an answer of your's)

done what you said.

no error report ...

so far so fine ...

trying to install openshot (with the ppa)

I get this error report:

I apreciate your opinion
thanks

ok run:

sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/sources.list

And it will be ok

sorry, I still have to bother: ---->

ed@ed-AMD4cores:~$ sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list

¿does anyone have an idea how to solve ?

¿does anyone have an idea how this can occur?

¿should I reinstall (this definitely reminds me windose)?

thanks for any intent to help

cd $HOME

wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/precisesources.list

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo mv ~/precisesources.list /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/sources.list

Will download my default sources.list file and copy it to where it should go.
