[TerraH]

I've been using Linux for a day now and I'm getting this error message from Adept:

I have no idea what this is, means, or why I'm getting it. It won't let me open Adept up and I only get this massage the first time I try to open the program after starting the computer up.

I'm using Kubuntu 8.10 x86-64 and have absolutely no experience with Linux of any kind. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Hi and Welcome !

Execute this

sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update

Does it throw any error message? Post exact error message here, if any.

[TerraH]

Yes, it does give me an error.

E: Type '%' is not known on line 56 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list

[devils casper]

Post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list file here.

[TerraH]

mmmm... Sorry, but where do I find that?

[devils casper]

Execute this

cat /etc/apt/sources.list > sources.txt

It will sources file in your home folder. Attach that file here.
Or
Open Kwrite or Kate and Navigate to / -- etc -- apt. Open sources.list file and post its contents here.

[TerraH]

It gave me this when I tried to execute...

terrah@Hikaru:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.lst > sources.txt
cat: /etc/apt/sources.lst: No such file or directory

[devils casper]

My mistake ! It was a typo.

Its sources.list instead of .lst.

[TerraH]

absolutely nothing happens:

terrah@Hikaru:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list > sources.txt
terrah@Hikaru:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list > sources.txt
terrah@Hikaru:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list > sources.txt
terrah@Hikaru:~$

[devils casper]

Did you check the contents of sources.txt file in your home folder?

cat sources.txt
