Change: How to add extra repositories?

[Mike]

Replace your /etc/apt/sources.list with the following lines:
(Please Note: as of 10/17/05, Breezy Backports were not active)


#deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)]/ breezy main
restricted


deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted

## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.

deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted

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

How do I know when a particular repository, let's say backports, is enabled? Do I have to dig into these forums, or are they declared at some other non-cluttered page like www.ubuntu.com? Please inform. Thanks!

I replaced my sources.list with that, but still doesn't work:

[seashell11]

What program are you using to change your sources.list file? and what happens? could you give a little more information?

[aysiu]

i have tried numerous times to update my repositories as instructed, changed the /etc/apt/sources.list file:confused: , still unsuccessful. Anybody can help? Thanks a lot At which point were you unsuccessful?

[muscaa]

I followed the instruction in http://www.psychocats.net/linux/sources.php, copy the sources.list, then when i sudo apt-get update, this msg came out:

[Connecting to my.archive.ubuntu.com (1.0.0.0)] [Connecting to security.ubuntu.com (1.0.0.0)]

If you are getting a response of '1.0.0.0' as your post suggests, take a look at your dns settings on your router/modem. Copy them, write them down, whatever, but they need to be copied into your resolv.conf file.

In a terminal window enter the following line: gedit /etc/resolv.conf (You can use whatever editor you like)

This should open the resolv.conf file which should look a little like the following:

nameserver 1.0.0.0

Change 1.0.0.0 to your ISP's primary/secondary DNS IP address and save this. Then try using apt get -update

Happy hunting ;)

Can I add Debian repositories?

[PaganHippie]

You can, but there's no guarantee that anything retrieved from them will work, and in some cases installing Debian stuff in Ubuntu can scrog up your system.
