Backup in Time install-Help

[Bumpalot]

I am trying to install Backup in Time from a web site via the repository,
following their instructions as listed below:
Terminal commands:
gksu gedit /etc/sources.list
Add the following line to the end of the file. Save and close.
deb http://backintime.le-web.org/repository stable main

(Note: this as far I got! the sources.list file
is blank & locked! Howcome?)

and then add the GPG key information:
wget http://backintime.le-web.org/repository/le-web.key
For KDE 4.1 and above
sudo apt-key add le-web.key
sudo apt-get install backintime-common backintime-kde4

As a non expert user, I sure would appreciate help on solving this.

you do not even half to add there repo it is in your package manager (muon ) already just open muon and type backintime in the search bar by the time you type backi it will show up install the kde ver.

also gksu is a gnome tool you should be using "kdesudo kate" to do that unless your running ubuntu instead of kubuntu!!

In their instructions you posted they say to open the sources.list with gksu gedit.
gksu is the Ubuntu means of opening a graphical application with root privileges , in this case gedit, kdesudo is the way you do it in Kubuntu .

gedit is the gnome/Ubuntu text editor , kate is the KDE/Kubuntu text editor ,,,,,SO if you REEEEEALY wanted to add that repo to your sources.list in Kubuntu you would do it with kdesudo and kate like so

kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list

I guess thay forgot the /apt part of the path to the file in question.

but as I sead you do not half to do that as it is in your package manager already.
