I Have Not /etc/apt/sources.list

Hello everyone,
I had a trouble with my sources list. The trouble was line 56 malformed in sources list, so I couldn't update my prograns or download new ones. I tried one solution I heard of, which consisted in adding to ## at the beginning of the line. As I didn't know which line was 56 I added the ## at various lines to make sure that line 56 was changed. Unfortunately, it didn't work and the message repeated itself again. I accessed the sources list again, but this time I probably forgot to save the changes I made and now the sources list is empty, which it is a much graver problem. Could anyone tell me how to fix it? Will it suffice to send me a copy of the current sources list in Lubuntu/Ubuntu so that I could paste it in the terminal? Thank you so much for any help you could give me.

When I search in google about update not working, I always see the answers about " /etc/apt/sources.list ".
Where is this " /etc/apt/sources.list " in my windows?
How can I find it???

Hi all,
This is my /etc/apt/sources.list of jessie, what's wrong as I am getting the following error output .

error :-

Now I am guessing one or more of the entries above are wrong, as probably all of testing-updates would probably come into play once jessie is released, right ?

This was generated via http://debgen.simplylinux.ch/ for lack of better places to generate sources.list from.

I just installed on my Sony Vaio "Jessie" and my wifi doesn't work.
When I was using "wheezy" after installation I did the following:

add line to Sources.list:
deb http://http/debian.net/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free

do followwing commands:
# apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
# modprobe -r iwl4965
# modprobe iwl4965
# aptitude update
# aptitude install plasma-widget-networkmanagement

I tried to do the same in "Jessie"

add line to Sources.list:
deb http://http/debian.net/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

but it didn't work. Any ideas?

Hello,

I am getting the follwoing error for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6

sudo su -
sudo: >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 118 <<<
sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 118
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

Could you help me to figure it out. As a root user am able to access but as normal user it is not allowing to sudo su - command.

Please let me know if any additional formation required.

i decided to post this as a new thread seeing how it's a recurring problem for me, and i still haven't found good recursive software to download dependancies from a website when some of the packages aren't in the repos or my linux doesn't have the correct repos in the sources file.

i used dpkg -i and it did not work. i know i can install this with recursion software, however the trend is heading toward arch with linux, so distro agnostic linuxes and parent distros which install tarballs and compile without many bugs automatically are what all linux developers should be supporting first and foremost.

this brings me to my question, there are a lot of applications and dependancies not included in repositories, and not included in your current aptitude (or whatever automated dependancy program you prefer to use to download packages) unless you modify the repo source file, so sources.list or whatever for debian. why do forum answers simply refer newbies and half newbies to using commands with bugs, instead of considering the repository doesn't have the neccessary packages, or that the user needs to add the websites to the sources in their distro before using automated package grabber commands/software? it's quite possible the person who posted the package did not submit it to the linux repo, or has not submitted it yet. some devs are too lazy to put any of their software in any repo.

there are websites like github which seem to be attempting to correct this problem, but it still begs the question, what is good recursion software or a recursive command which works and downloads the dependancies when not in the repositories with the least amount of bugs? theroetically it would be easier to use gui software which has innate recursion and copy and paste the web address of the binary, rather than modify the source file every time you want to download a package with missing dependances.

here was an example of my output downloading a current wheezy kernel in order to make a custom debian image

I ran into an interesting problem (on reddit) that I figured I could solve, but I have not been able to. Its simple,.. I added 'exit 0' to /root/.bashrc, and now I am trying to log in via ssh.

Everytime I do, it immediately exits when it runs the .bash_profile, which sources .bashrc, (which is immediate upon 'logging in')

I've tried:

Code:

ssh root@192.168.1.50 -t vim
vim scp://192.168.1.50/.bashrc
vim scp://192.168.1.50/root/.bashrc
ssh root@192.168.1.50 bash --norc
ssh root@192.168.1.50 /bin/bash --norc --noprofile
ssh -T root@192.168.1.50 "mv /root/.bashrc /root/.bashRC"
scp .bashrc root@192.168.1.50:/root/
ssh root@192.168.1.50 /bin/bash --norc --noprofile -vvvvvvvvvv
ssh -vvvvvv root@192.168.1.50 /bin/bash --norc --noprofile
ssh -vvvvvv root@192.168.1.50 /bin/mv /root/.bashrc /root/.bashRC
ssh -t -t root@192.168.1.50 << EOF
mv /root/.bashrc /root/.bashRC
EOF
ssh -t -t root@192.168.1.50 --norc << EOF
echo HELLO > /root/.bashrc
EOF
ssh -tv root@192.168.1.50 rm .bashrc

So,.. I am unable to get back into the system (as root, no other users exist) after adding 'exit 0' to .bashrc

Anyone feel like explaining why all of these failed (aside from saying SSH interactive logins run the .bash_profile/.bashrc files) or, offering a suggestion that works? Seems like if you have the root password, you should be allowed to modify the login process... since... you know... you are root.

Hi,
I am working with Debian and gcc.

I have a single C file main.c, with some code in it.
For this trivial build, I am using the following Makefile:

Code:

SOURCES=main.c
CFLAGS=-c -w -gdwarf-4 -g3 -O0

LDFLAGS=
CC=

OBJECTS=$(SOURCES:.c=.o)
EXECUTABLE=myprogram

all: clean $(SOURCES) $(EXECUTABLE)

$(EXECUTABLE): $(OBJECTS)
	$(CC)gcc $(LDFLAGS) $(OBJECTS) -o $@

clean:
	rm -f $(EXECUTABLE) $(OBJECTS) $(MAKE)

.c.o:
	$(CC)gcc $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $< -o $@

Now, in main.c, I want to use an assembly function, say myFunction which is implemented in the file function.asm.

My question is now: how do I build this? How do I modify the Makefile above to do this ?

Many thanks for your help!!!

PD.
