    before i mess it up and ruin everything, could you copy what i pasted from my source list and just edit it out the way it's supposed to be and then post it here so i can just put it in, most people just think i have the same exact source list as the one posted on the ubuntuguide site, strangly mine is written differently

    If you wanted to keep a backup of your old sources.list list you can just do:

    Code:
    sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup

    Just to be able to replace the new sources.list if there was a mistake or something. I'd say just copy and paste the "revised" souces.list from the ubuntuguide site to your souces.list. I don't really see any harm by doing so (anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). But if you're not feeling that brave, you can try out what alain said by uncommenting all the deb entries by removing the "#" and also remove the first line.
