Repositorie Help For Newbie (Not Another!!)

[Javabean]

Hi All, Thanks in advance to all the good people who help in these forums for Newbies like myself.
I am on my third install of Ubuntu/Kubuntu. The first time just Ubuntu, but broke it while trying to get a Wifi
card & Compro DVB set up,Along with Wine and W32codecs. The Second was Kubuntu and same problems
but i found Kubuntu nice to look at, But sparse on Programs.This time im running Ubuntu with KDE desktop
Front End and it runs nice and has most of what i want(Cant wait for Breezy in October.) After reading some advice LNW & Linux Questions and in these forums i decided to add more Repositories. start by backing up my
sources.list and add a new list with extra Repositories, Saved this list as sources.list and Sudo apt-get updated
but Synaptic does not work and sudo apt-get no longer works. I include the parser line from sudo(including the last apt-get update try for anyone to pick the bones out of .) Hoping some one can help as i dont want to
have to do a full reinstall again to fix. Thanks in Advance for any advice & help..

My first reaction is you have a typo in /etc/apt/sources.list with something like htp:// instead of http://

Can you post what your /etc/apt/sources.list looks like?

Thanks for any help..

Update 3.25 pm Synaptic Now works after reinstall. Upgradeded all packages still a glitch in
the repositorie urls and synapticwith error mrssages that read...
E: Sub process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any thoughts/advice..

Thanks Evilghost, Ive mucked around with this install for two weeks and have had
a hell of a time getting things up and running. Ive decided to start fresh and back up
everything before I install any new progs or change any settings. At least I can smile
and say I learnt a little more.and with windows i would have to ring up and tell them
that it was a reinstall so i can run MY software on My puter. thanks..

Open the url in your browser and re-try. This worked for me.

Hi, I'm a newbie too. Synaptic keeps looking for my Hoary cd for updates in my cdrom drv whcih is faulty. I want it to look for the cd in my other cdrw drv.

Can anyone teach me how to add a repositry in this case?

I've tried to delete the original hoary cd repositry. Then, I've tried to use "sudo apt-cdrom -d /media/cdrom1 add", where "/media/cdrom1" is the mount point of my cdrw (I think)

The output is:

Using CD-ROM mount point /media/cdrom1/

But the original "faulty repositry" reappears and still tries to llok for hoary cd in my cdrom.

Can any1 help me out?

[Some_Bored_Dude]

Here is some information on adding reps;

http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#repositories

If your cd roms faulty, comment out "deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.04 _Hoary Hedgehog_ - Release i386 (20050407)]/ hoary main restricted" (by adding a # in front of the line) in the source.list, and then run 'sudo apt-get update'.

but the link above should helpout =)

[aysiu]

Here is some information on adding reps;

http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#repositories That guide's horribly out of date. For up-to-date repositories, look at the first link in my sig.

[marshcast]

thanks evilghost - typo got it ;)

[monarchheels]

My first reaction is you have a typo in /etc/apt/sources.list with something like htp:// instead of http://

Can you post what your /etc/apt/sources.list looks like?

Today I noticed that my 10.04 desktop has been getting a lot of updates but my netbook also running 10.04 hasn't. I had a similar error message and, thanks to this post, checked my Software Sources list and noticed a missing "h" on the start of an address (so it was ttp://...ect.)
Had it fixed within 2 minutes. Thanks evilghost!!!
