help! I followed the instructions but not my software manager won't update. I'm running Linux Mint. The message says "E: Type '‘deb' is not known on line 10 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
ReplyDeleteE: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report."
how can I fix this?
1.you just type this in terminal:
ReplyDeletesudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
2.there (in gedit) edit line #10 to say:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn/ubuntu lucid main
Instead of: "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn/ubuntu lucid main'
3. save and close, now do the update by typing:
sudo apt-get update
4. then type:
sudo apt-get install gimp
and there you are ;)
Luis : Wow nice thread, thanks :)
