: After I comment out lines 56 and 57 what would be the next step? I'm so new to Terminal and forgot all the Unix I once know that I'm reading frantically to re-learn the commands. so I'll make a copy of the list and comment out the lines. Then what? by the way, I appreciate the time you are taking to help me...

Do an update after, that one problem should now be cleared. Please ask questions, glad to explain
I believe lines 56 through 59 should have "ubuntu" after the "http://archive.canonical.com/" (with no space between) similar to line 50.
Jane, stop this crazy thing!
ibjsb4: OK, I'll make a copy of the list, comment out lines 56 and 57. Then do an "update" How do I do the update? (sorry for the stupid questions, I've only been running Linux for about 20 hours now so I'm pretty green.)

Code:sudo apt-get update
Jane, stop this crazy thing!
No problem
Here's a handy list:Code:sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

You also have manuals installed by default.
or try thisCode:man apt-get
Use your arrow keys.Code:man man
Put "man" then name of package
OK, now when I do an gedit I get a black screen with black text. is there a way to change the text or bg color so i can see what I'm trying to edit?
Thats another problem that needs to be resolved, but first lets get you updated. An update can solve problems. So lets just use another editor instead of "gedit" just use "nano" editor.OK, now when I do an gedit I get a black screen with black text. is there a way to change the text or bg color so i can see what I'm trying to edit?
