Error in the terminal trying to fix an error with synaptic Manager

[ashley benton]

Hi, again, I think I found the /etc/apt/sources.list.


meg at meg-desktop:~$ locate /etc/apt/sources.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/edgy-universe.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/edgy-commercial.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/edgy-multiverse.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/edgy-universe.list.save
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/edgy-commercial.list.save
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/edgy-multiverse.list.save
/etc/apt/sources.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.save

I hope it is what you needed, also while I was looking I found messages in /var/log/messages(monitored) - system log Viewer. The trouble is I have not idea how to open them and read them. I am thinking that I should open them with the shell but didn't find the command yet.

Thank you

Megan

Sorry I have been out of internet, and thank you for your answer. I will leave the no key like it is because you told me that it wasn't advisable to install packages from Debian to Ubunto.You asked me to post the contents of the file /etc/apt/sources.list but I don't know how to ask the terminal to show me that, could you help me with that? Sorry really beginning. 

Thank you

The public key usually is somewhere on the site where you got the name
of the repository from, "http://debian-multimedia.org etch". By the way,
usually it is not advisable to install packages for Debian in Ubuntu.

This is weird, the main security server was certainly not down. I think
the problem is at your end, which is supported by what you wrote next:

Please post the contents of the file /etc/apt/sources.list. Something
seems wrong there.
