[Bug 99090] Re: apt-get unable to read /etc/apt/sources.list
Another thing I forgot to add, one time the Software sources thing crashed yesterday & the launchpad integration sent a bug report with the Stacktrace & everything but there was no transaction no. or anything I could see or note down. It was a 1 MB file which it uploaded & then just closed. I don't know where it sent the file. -- apt-get unable to read /etc/apt/sources.list https://launchpad.net/bugs/99090 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 99090] Re: apt-get unable to read /etc/apt/sources.list
I deleted the extra chinese characters/japanese characters but they seemed to crop up again & again. I want to use hindi letters but tht comes l8ter. I used the alternate CD to set up & there is/was no way to set up the encodings so I guess the default setup includes all the encodings. Anyways, I tried to re-install the OS from the CD again & now I'm stuck at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian- installer/+bug/99303 which seems to tell me tht something is bad with the alternate CD. This bug is re-producible each time. -- apt-get unable to read /etc/apt/sources.list https://launchpad.net/bugs/99090 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 99090] Re: apt-get unable to read /etc/apt/sources.list
Well, I'm not too familiar with UTF-16 and I could be totally wrong, but its worth a try. When you saved the file, the file was saved with the UTF-16 encoding (I guess this is the standard encoding for India, as you want to be able to use your Indian alphabetical characters). It is possible (its just a wild guess) that apt-get will not recognise this encoding and get confused. Can you try saving the file with an UTF-8 or western (ISO-8859-15) encoding? You will find the option at the botton of the dialog when you click the "Save as ..." entry from the File menu. I would also delete the extra chinese/japanese characters at the end of the file. -- apt-get unable to read /etc/apt/sources.list https://launchpad.net/bugs/99090 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 99090] Re: apt-get unable to read /etc/apt/sources.list
nope, I didn't do anything outside of using sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list to see the files. I copied verbatim the contents as they show. I'm also surpised at the chinese/japanese characters tht it showed. -- apt-get unable to read /etc/apt/sources.list https://launchpad.net/bugs/99090 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The file you have attached seems to be corrupted. When you edited the file did you save it in an UTF-8 format? -- apt-get unable to read /etc/apt/sources.list https://launchpad.net/bugs/99090 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
