However, what actually writes to the file is bash (from this <I><B>>> /etc/apt/sources.list</B></I>), which is run under your username, and you don't have permission. So, what should be done here is:<BR/><BR/><I><B>echo "deb http://ubuntu.org.ua/ getdeb/" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list</B></I><BR/><BR/>tee is a program which will write to your sources.list file, and is run through sudo so it'll have the permissions required.<BR/><BR/>Another way is to use this:<BR/><I><B>sudo -s</B></I> (which will give you a root terminal)<BR/>Then: <I><B>echo "deb http://ubuntu.org.ua/ getdeb/ >> /etc/apt/sources.list</B></I><BR/><BR/>You might also consider separating your sources.list file into manageable portions, for example creating a new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory, like this:<BR/><BR/><I><B>echo "deb http://ubuntu.org.ua/ getdeb/" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list</B></I>hyperairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00882976227077161416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202095606494672181.post-4575212086269449592007-10-11T11:03:00.000-07:002007-10-11T11:03:00.000-07:00just use gedit to open the /etc/apt/sources.list f...just use gedit to open the /etc/apt/sources.list file and append the deb http* line at the end of it then apt-get updatedefconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09599163021880670254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202095606494672181.post-28144643736756589152007-10-11T05:23:00.000-07:002007-10-11T05:23:00.000-07:00I did sudo echo "deb http://ubuntu.org.ua/ getdeb/...I did sudo echo "deb http://ubuntu.org.ua/ getdeb/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list and got this error bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied.<BR/><BR/>I did deb http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/ getdeb/ and got this error bash: deb: command not found.<BR/><BR/>Is there any other way to add these or what do I need to do to fix these errors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202095606494672181.post-3345436436153977982007-09-28T14:46:00.000-07:002007-09-28T14:46:00.000-07:00i never had a problem with getdeb packages messing...i never had a problem with getdeb packages messing with my ubuntu packages, the only thing I can think of is that getdeb packages may be more unstable than ubuntu packagesdefconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09599163021880670254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202095606494672181.post-30630735383634309032007-09-25T15:11:00.000-07:002007-09-25T15:11:00.000-07:00Dread,could you be more precise ?which package fro...Dread,<BR/>could you be more precise ?<BR/>which package from getdeb have caused you a problem ?<BR/>Have you reported it already ?<BR/><BR/>ThanksJoão Pintohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16629311413154341175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202095606494672181.post-55746013611127219462007-09-12T10:46:00.000-07:002007-09-12T10:46:00.000-07:00Using packages from getdeb can cause you big probl...Using packages from getdeb can cause you big problems and broke lots of packages... :(<BR/>You should not upgrade from getdeb the packages that you already have in the ubuntu repository just because they upgrade it to the latest version a few days later.Dread Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08142529873301282454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202095606494672181.post-56183958022765114242007-09-02T17:43:00.000-07:002007-09-02T17:43:00.000-07:00Wow, this is totally fantastic!
