    Angry Update Manager NOT WORKING

    Hi guys, i am an absolute newbie in ubuntu and linux in general (just 2 days since i got my ubuntu setup ) and i already manage to screw something up .... .... and i don't know what.... My update manager refuses to operate no mater what i do I get this message :

    Could not initialize the package information

    A unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.

    Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:

    'E:Type '“deb' is not known on line 63 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.'

    and this one

    E: Type '“deb' is not known on line 63 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
    E: The list of sources could not be read.
    Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
    E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

    Something is obviously wrong but as a newbie i don't know what... everything started after i tried to install an emulator for neo geo ... at least i think so.. Can anyone help me with this issue ?? Because i liked the linux spirit Thank very much in advance

    Re: Update Manager NOT WORKING

    Try to post the content of your sources.list file. Open your terminal and issue the command below.

    Code:
    cat etc/apt/sources.list
    File has an error on line 63.

    Re: Update Manager NOT WORKING

    Go to [System->Administration->Software Sources] and see what repositories are listed there. You can disable repositories from that app.
    If that won't open post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list and I will try to help.

    Re: Update Manager NOT WORKING

    A typo error. That should be:

    Code:
    cat /etc/apt/sources.list

    Exclamation Re: Update Manager NOT WORKING

    I think you mis-typed - looks like you forgot the leading / on the path. Without it the path would be relative to the directory you were in when typing the command:
    Code:
    cat /etc/apt/sources.list

    Re: Update Manager NOT WORKING

    On your terminal, open your sources.list file for editing:

    Code:
    gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
    and delete the line of text below:

    “deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt feisty main”
    located at the last part of the file. Save and Close.
