    After adding a repository I see this problem

    I want to upgrade to gnome 3.6 so I add a repository and try it but when I want to use
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    I receive this error

    Code:
    E: Type 'ain' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list
    E: The list of sources could not be read.
    How can I fix this problem ?

    sounds like the line is malformed, what does it say?

    Code:
    cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list
    "You can't expect to hold supreme executive power just because some watery tart lobbed a sword at you"

    "Don't let your mind wander -- it's too little to be let out alone."

    I fix it myself. I'm using for 2 year Ubuntu but always I feel amateur in ubuntu but I fix it. Maybe it's too easy.
    Sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list
    and then run

    sudo apt-get update
    thank you jerome1232. Is it possible to explain what "cat" do ?

    it's a command used to concatenate files, meaning join them together, however it's also frequently used to simply read a files contents to standard output (your terminal).

    That's all my command was doing, was reading the contents of the troublesome repository file and displaying them in your terminal.
