E: The list of sources could not be read.
Re: E: Type how to fix it???????
The command should be ls /etc/apt/sources.list
You really should have a better understanding of linux before messing with BackTrack.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Re: E: Type how to fix it???????
To open and see the insides of sources.list:
Code:sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Re: E: Type how to fix it???????
Need to do this: nano /etc/apt/sources.listOriginally Posted by mahnitash
Check line 6, it should have a format like this:
deb http://xxxx.........
Get rid of some characters like ", ', etc in the line 6..It is just deb
Then just write the file (Ctl+O) and then (Ctl+X)..Menu is at the bottom.....
Update the list: aptitude update
Luck....
