I just installed Kali alongside Ubuntu 22.04 with no problem and can boot into both fine although I’ve not yet run an update in Kali (will do that soon).

When I tried to update Ubuntu I get this error

Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00trustcdrom:1: Extra junk at end of file

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried to cat the file but it’s unreadable - I think encrypted as it’s just a few symbols.

I have tried looking online with little success and can’t seem to find any corresponding information.

Please format your post properly, so that everyone can read and understand it. One sentence one line will be a good choice. – Thomas Aichinger Mar 12 '23 at 17:52
@nobody thank you this worked, but why was it created or why did it need moved? – Amish Charmander Mar 12 '23 at 18:02
The file doesn't contain a lot on Ubuntu systems.APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true"; – popey Mar 12 '23 at 18:04
@nobody - I know it’s very brief, but your comment solved it - worth posting as an answer? – Will Mar 12 '23 at 18:09
Strange I do not have this file. @Will I'm sure it is a dupplicate from something. But I'm too tired to search. – nobody Mar 12 '23 at 18:13
