its looking fine , are you seeing anything odd

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

[breithorn]

first thank you for your support, it's great!
gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list delivered 3 messages,
got 2 times this message:
Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Then this message too:
GLib-GIO-WARNING **: Missing callback called fullpath = /root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel

[raja.genupula]

actually your terminal output of source.list seems to clear but apt saying there is a error in line number .

ok do one thing ..
open terminal and type as
sudo nautilus then go to the sources.list by starting the navigation from the file system with the path as mentioned above . then open that file with gedit and look for any odd things

deb http://archive.canonical.com/precise partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/precise partner

Those two lines are incorrect.

Mine looks like


deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner

The /ubuntu are missing in your version.

Good Luck

Wow, the error doesn't occur any more. I edited sources.list by modifying the two lines as mentioned above. So far I'm happy now, thank you for your support):P
