I am trying to get Video working on my Ubuntu 9.04. I followed HOW-TO instructions but came to a block.
Problem
When Ubuntu tried to download the latest software, it failed - Failed to find file. Here's what I did:
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Instruction: Add the following two lines to the bottom of the list, remembering to change the Ubuntu version accordingly:
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ jaunty free non-free
deb-src http://packages.medibuntu.org/ jaunty free non-free
As I close the panel, it did a reload of the latest software. Here's what I got as error:
Could not download all repository indexes
Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/jaunty/Release Unable to find expected entry deb-src/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
The words "malformed release file" on the error msg caught my eyes. The instruction did specify "...to change the Ubuntu version accordingly" on the 2 links above.
What does that mean? And, what would be my two correct deb lines to add?
Please help.
Many Thanks...Mimi
