Repository Error

[mattfender]

In effort to get movies and such working I tried to add some repositories now I get this error

E: Type 'http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu' is not known on line 38 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


If anyone could help (if I need to give more info let me know) that would be great

[scxtt]

does the entire entry in /etc/apt/sources.list look like this:

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu dapper-commercial main

???

[mattfender]

No, it just reads

http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu

[scxtt]

well my 1st bit of advice would be to edit it to look like what i posted ... i've installed opera using that repo ...

[mattfender]

How do I get permission to edit it in terminal?

How do I get permission to edit it in terminal?sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

[mattfender]

thanks it worked, but now I have another error

E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 39 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list

There shouldn't be any wgets in your sources.list.

Every line should start with either deb, deb-src, or #

[scxtt]

post your /etc/apt/sources.list for us to look @ ...
