i accidently copied a line 35 in my source.list and i want to remove it but it says that i do not have rights to do save the change. this change that was made makes it to the point where i can not install anything onto my flippin computer cuz it says theres an unknown write error or sumthing on line 35...which it was sumthing i copied from automatrix's website.

any suggestions?

thanks,

patrick

Maybe this helps:

Editing Files that Belong to Root
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/permissions

Or

make new sources.list

Sources.list generator
http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic

Here you can generate an ubuntu sources.list for your preferred set of repositories. Just tick all repositories you want. The default set is selected automatically.

Re: cant edit source.list

sounds like you need to use sudo.

example

sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list
