  • @santosamaru The output you just gave indicates that you didn't completely reset it. You still have PPAs installed. See the comments for someone with the exact same issue. (more specifically: see the files in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory) – gertvdijk Feb 04 '13 at 14:42
  • which i means .. i have following all the step from that link i will post my source list ss @gertvdijk – santosamaru Feb 04 '13 at 14:44

    @santosamaru Look at files inside the directory. You're opening a directory with your editor! Please provide the output of grep -r ppa /etc/apt run from a terminal (please copy/paste text, no need for screenshots!) – gertvdijk Feb 04 '13 at 15:05
  • Good grief... you've installed a huge amount of PPAs! To reset it all, you'll have to remove them all... see How can PPAs be removed? or the answer provided here using the GUI. Oh and please use the "code sample" formatting next time - the block quote just destroyed it all. – gertvdijk Feb 04 '13 at 15:17

Well you have several ways (Am pretty sure this question is a duplicate but I can't find it):

  1. Open the DASH and type software you will see one option that says software sources

    enter image description here

    You will see that it will have several tabs that each one adds up to the amount of repository lines in your sources.list, for example you have the

    enter image description here

    and the

    enter image description here

    and also the

    enter image description here

    from which you can change in any of this what appears on your source file.

  2. Another is to literally edit the file itself. So open a terminal and:

    sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

    and edit away what you do not need. Add a # before the line to comment it out. It is better than deleting it, just in case you make a mistake you can go back.

Every time you change this, always do an sudo apt-get update to verify that everything is OK. apt-get will notify you if there is a problem with one of the repositories (Misspelled, Wrong symbols, etc..)
