I'm Not Sure What That Means Or How To Do It. I'm Still Very Much A Newbie.

I Will Need To Go Soon So Any Advice Would Be Appreciated.

Thanks. Ken

I Am Now Able To Provide Sources List (/etc/apt)

[Kensoi]

There Are Three Lines On The Source List That Need To Be Changed (OUT OF DATE)

I Have Tried Changing The Settings On The Sources List. New entries should look like this:

deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports hardy main restricted
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports hardy-security main restricted


It Will Not Allow Me. Can Anyone Tell Me The Easiest Way To Do This ?

I Am Being Told I'm Not The Owner & Can't Change The Permissions.

As I Said Before I Am New To Ubuntu & Find It Difficult The Way Some Of The Instructions Are Written & Would Welcome Someone To Point Me On How I Can Change These Permissions.

I'm Finding Editing Sudoers File A Bit Confusing.


Thanks Ken.

Kensoi, do not edit your sudoers file. You do not need to do that to solve this problem, and if you do it the wrong way, you will have to go through a somewhat arcane process to fix your system.

To edit /etc/apt/sources.list, open a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and type

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Make your changes. Save and exit gedit.

Then in the terminal, type

sudo apt-get update

Thank You. Much Appreciated & It Worked Fine.

It's All Very New To Me. Ken
