"echo" problem/Spotify

[Satchel88]

So I tried to install Spotify for Linux (http://www.spotify.com/us/download/previews/) using instructions from around the web and this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...=spotify+linux


I noticed most everything worked but system got hung up on the "aptitude" command. And then,
Attempting to install Spotify from the Terminal now gets:

E: Type 'echo' is not known on line 61 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
E: Unable to locate package spotify-client

Also there are random error messages, now, since I edited in that "echo" thing. I think I edited my etc/sources.list to include an echo and I don't know how to get it out. I tried sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list but that brings up a blank text document. I know this is all really basic stuff...but


Thanks

p.s.
Perhaps this was what did it? I tried:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install spotify-client

First of all you should just follow the instructions that are on the Spotify website, those will work fine.

Can you post your /etc/apt/sources.list here? (e.g. the output of 'sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list') Because it seems you just put something in there that shouldn't be.

It seems, you somehow managed to put 'echo' into /etc/apt/sources.list. To see the problem, try

grep echo /etc/apt/sources.list

Yea, I really messed up I think...keep getting weird error messages.

Tried what you said, got this:

me@mypc:~$ grep echo /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

???

Try to edit /etc/apt/sources.list manually

sudo sensible-editor /etc/apt/sources.list

and change the two lines starting with echo to one line below

deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free

Okay so one of the error messages when I check for updates says this:

An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:

'E:Type 'cancel' is not known on line 68 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list'

I did edit out the two echo lines as you instructed, and nothing shows, now, when I tried your initial "grep echo" suggestion.

Delete those two lines from sources.list and replace it with this one:

deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free

Then run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install spotify-client

Worked like a charm, thanks!
