What did you add?
Did you backup your souces.list first?
Are you getting any errors?
Can you remove the new repo and update?
Are you using synaptic reload or apt-get update?

I'm using apt-get. I even tried the recommended ones on top of this page and apt-get just stalls. P.S I believe it could something with Actiontec DSL Modem.


I meant the repositories on the top page of this forum.

So this is a connection problem and not a repo or OS problem. If the connection is bad you should get a message stating that it could not connect to the repos.
Process of elimination I guess.

If you have the correct GPG key and are still having problems this fix should help.

There's some weird glitch where residual info hangs out and gives you a GPG signature error. If that's the case, do this:
Back up the sources.list with this command: sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup Then edit the sources.list by typing sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and delete everything.
sudo apt-get update with your empty repositories list.
Finally, sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list_backup /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update Source (http://www.psychocats.net/linux/sources.php)

Thank you AgenT! I've been ripping my hair out over this for the last couple of days. This worked!
