Deleting repositries - help needed please.

[ashenrose]

I mis-copy-pasted the repositry addition for wine (missed the deb and h from the beginning) and now I can't find it to delete it. Can anyone help me please?

[ubernoob]

you mean this one? /etc/apt/sources.list

[raldz]

if you are looking for the list of the repositories, it is located here:

/etc/apt/sources.list

if you want a copy of working repositories, I got mine with Automatix:

/etc/apt/sources.list: command not found

I don't need the sourxes list, I need to know how to delete a mis-spelled repositry from the synaptic package manager.

/etc/apt/sources.list is not a command, its a configuration text file. You dont clarify the program that you want to open that file with. So the terminal things that /etc/apt/sources.list is a command.

GNOME : sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
KDE: sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list

Terminal editor: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Ok, thank you. It seems to work now i've deleted it in gedit.
