update manager saying error on line 59 in sources list

Question

Can't figure out where my problem is.

I tried to post my sources list but apparently Ubuntu won't let a new user post more then two hyperlinks so yea any suggestions on how to post that.

Answer 1

you will need to edit your sources.list

open a terminal and make a copy of the sources.list

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup

now edit the file

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

move to line 59 and compare that line with the others. SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE a basic line will appear as this example: deb-src http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/ubuntu/ natty-security main restricted

If you are unsure of the correction that needs to be performed then you may comment that line out using "#" it would then appear as this:

#deb-src http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/ubuntu/ natty-security main restricted

once the line is edited you can save and resume the update

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

please post back any errors or use pastebin and report
