Hi all, I'm trying to Dino XMPP. I tried to use the sudo apt command and it gave me an error. Then I downloaded the deb package and when I ran it, my software app kept spinning and spinning. Then I followed another topic's advice to use sudo apt update, and it gave me an error. I also tried using the sudo apt to reinstall gnome, error.
I then I read that I could use gdebi to help make downloading deb packages easier, so searched for it in my software app and it's not there. So I ran the command suggested sudo apt install gdebi, and I get an error.
Also, I have a red exclamation mark at the top right of my computer after restarting and it says an error occurred and to run Package Manager or terminal apt-get - but no further instructions.
Any help, sorry, been new to Linux for a month and it is a massive learning curve. I feel like I can spend 4 hours granting access to a new USB or installing a new file sometimes.
One example when I tried to install the Dino:
E: Type 'gpg' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/network:messaging:xmpp:dino.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
E: Type 'gpg' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/network:messaging:xmpp:dino.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Please open Software & Updates and move to the "Other Software" tab.
Scroll through the list and select any DINO repositories by clicking on the line it is on, then clicking the Remove button on the bottom toolbar.
Once you are sure that there are no DINO repositories remaining, close out Software & Updates
In terminal, run
sudo apt --fix-broken install
(If Dino is showing in your apps, you may need to remove it, first:
I don't see anything that has Dino in the Other Software tab in Software & Updates, I opened my terminal and ran the sudo apt --fix-broken install and this is what I got:
E: Type 'gpg' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/network:messaging:xmpp:dino.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
E: Type 'gpg' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/network:messaging:xmpp:dino.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Open Software & Updates and move to the "Other Software" tab.
Look for network:messaging:xmpp:dino.list I Promise it is there because it is showing up as /etc/apt/sources.list.d/network:messaging:xmpp:dino.list
