Cannot open Update Manager

Question

I am trying to install Intel drivers on Steam and when I try to open the Update Manager I get this message 'E:Malformed line 6 in source list/etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)'

I'm also very new to Linux considering I got Ubuntu yesterday. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

you have a malformed line in /etc/apt/sources.list, could you please post the content of /etc/apt/sources.list — Sukupa91, Nov 28 '13 at 19:15
What does cat /etc/apt/sources.list | head -8 produce? (This will just output the first 8 lines of the file). If unreadable as a normal user (Permission Error), you may need to run sudo cat /etc/apt/sources.list | head -8 — Wilf, Nov 28 '13 at 19:17

You have a malformed line in /etc/apt/sources.list to solve this issue use the following -

wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/sources.list

sudo mv ./sources.list /etc/apt

sudo apt-get update

hope it will work.

Wonderful! It's all good now, thank you very much. – Dcolligan7 Nov 28 '13 at 19:37
instead of mentioning thanks you can accept it as answer and up vote. avoid mentioning it for making intersection simple and straight to the point. – Sukupa91 Nov 29 '13 at 02:03
