/etc/apt/sources.list

[James Collier]

Hi Catalina,
You need to be the "super-user" or "root" to access files in directories
such as /etc/.
If you are trying to add a repository I'd recommend you use:
- System > Administration > Software Sources
- type in your password
- Go to the Third-Party Software tab and select from the list or (if the
repo you're after isn't there then click the "Add..." button and type it
in manually.
I'd recommend you consult
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu too.
