Hi,

I had installed ubuntu 10.04 and tried to update, got following problem

sam@sam-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install update
E: Type 'n' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bisigi-ppa-lucid.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.

How to overcome this?

How to overcome this?

From a terminal post output of

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bisigi-ppa-lucid.list

There is something in line 2 that it doesn't like.

To edit the file use

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bisigi-ppa-lucid.list

and remove whatever looks out of place.

If no luck,post the output of the "cat" command so we can take a look.

Good Luck
