Synaptic

[Andrew Mathenge]

Hi Laurie,

I guess if you can't open synaptic then perhaps you should follow Duda's
post

>> Duda's post <<

You can try creating a source file here:
http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/

and then copy the content to /etc/apt/sources.list by editing the file:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and copying the generated content of source-o-matic there

>> --------------- <<

Let us know how that works for  you.

Andrew.
