    I cannot launch Software Center or Software Updater...please help!!!

    I tried to install Spotify on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS via terminal with instructions form Spotify's website, https://www.spotify.com/us/download/linux/, and at some point in Step 2:
    Code:
    # 2. Add the Spotify repository
    echo deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list
    My terminal then shut down. Then the red "do not pass" sign showed up in the top, which said:
    Code:
    "E:Type 'Updating' is not known on the line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies."
    Then I went across a couple forums that I tried to get help from, i.e. removing the list via system settings and uninstalling then reinstalling the software center, etc. After trying these methods, the Software updater and Center still don't launch, and the same error shows up. What can I do to fix this? Thank you!

    Can you show the output of terminal command
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    between code-tags, please.
    See my signature for a code-tags "how-to" if you're unsure how to do that.

    This was the result:
    Code:
    E: Type '�D�' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list
    E: The list of sources could not be read.

    Re: I cannot launch Software Center or Software Updater...please help!!!

    Seems like something went terribly wrong.
    I'd suggest removing the file and try again.
    Code:
    sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list
    Some how it looks like it might have been the key instead of the deb line.

    Perhaps try starting from the beginning.
    (With adding the key; the first step)
    Maybe post back what happens with each step.

    Re: I cannot launch Software Center or Software Updater...please help!!!

    So now the only problem is launching the Software Center, since I am able to run Software Updater (it says everything is up to date, btw.) Also, Thank you guys for having quick responses and helping me out.

    You might try launching the software center from the terminal
    Code:
    software-center
    it usually gives a clue or two as to what is bonkers.

    Don't mind me, I'm only passing through.
    Once in a blue moon, I'm actually helpful
