New to Ubuntu, Problem with Repositories

[jbrill101]

I followed the instructions to add the Canonical Repositories listed here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#head-b75a0c6c7e357640731529980d3f3ad3614b9a76
Unfortunately now I cannot access any repositories at all. Everytime it does it gives me the following error message:
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.

This is even after I have removed that address from my repository list,
I've tried sudo apt-get install -f and it still gives me the same message
I've also tried /etc/apt/sources.list (while in root)
With the following response:
bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Please open a terminal, and post the output to cat /etc/apt/sources.list.

Your last line should start with "deb".

In addition, some of your repositories are commented (the line starts with a #, meaning it's not taken into account).

So edit the file. Run in a terminal:
sudo nano -B /etc/apt/sources.list
nano is a small text editor.

Remove what is in red and add what is in green. The two "dapper" in green should replace two "breezy"

CTRL-O (like in ocean) to save the file, with the same name (hit <enter>) then CTRL-X to exit.

Do you still have errors to:
sudo aptitude update

If you are not sure, edit your source.list file, save it and post it back in here.

Everything works just fine now, thank you

Hi...

I seem to be running into the duplicate problem, which, I believe is related to this thread. My source.list output is as follows:

## Uncomment the following two lines to fetch updated software from the network
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted

## Uncomment the following two lines to fetch major bug fix updates produced
## after the final release of the distribution.
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-updates main restricted multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-updates main restricted

## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe'
## repository.

What am I missing?

Thanks
