Hi, I am new in using Ubuntu system and encountered my first problem.
The problem is when I try to update or install something using "sudo apt-get" with terminal
i get this error mesage:
E: Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list (dist parse)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
and this is what I have when i print out sources.list in terminal:
1 # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 13.10 _Saucy Salamander_ - Release amd64 (20131016.1)]/ saucy main restricted

Hi robertasbalt. Welcome to the forum

From the error message, it looks like the problem may lay on another file inside the sources.list.d directory. It would be very useful to take a look at all your sources files.

Could you open a terminal, run this command, and post back its results?

find /etc/apt  -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;

Regards.

[Dave_L]

The error message is referring to this file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list

If you can't identify the problem with the file, post it here. Please enclose it in [ code ] ... [ /code ] tags (without the spaces).

This is the list I have got after entering this code:
find /etc/apt -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;

Thanks.

You missed the word stable on the opera file:

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list

     1    deb http://deb.opera.com/stable non-free

Open an editor like this:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list

and edit the file so it looks like this:

deb http://deb.opera.com/stable stable non-free

Save the file, and try again updating your sources with apt-get.

Hope it helps. Let us know how it goes.
Regards.

EDIT1: take a look at this tutorial: Opera Browser. You may need to add a GPG key before you can actually update your sources.

Everything work and fixed the problem, thank's man for the help
