Is secure boot turned off in the bios ?
How do I check?
Please post a screenshot or type out the exact Error.
This error must be resolved before you can install anything.
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.
Now the Dino icon is in my apps, but when I click to open, the Software app opens and just spins
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:
sudo apt remove --purge dino
)
Once that is complete;
Download this Self-Installing .deb package:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/messaging:/xmpp:/dino/xUbuntu_20.04/amd64/dino_0.2.0~git187.20211223.f591335e-1_amd64.deb
Double click the package to run the installer.
This should get you all fixed up and have Dino installed.
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
You may need to Scroll Down to see it.
The screen shot shows everything, is it the unsupported updates?
Are you certain that you cannot scroll down, any?
In the meantime, you may need to use the File manager to do it. You must elevate to ROOT to do so.
sudo -i
nautilus
navigate to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
Look for xmpp:dino.list
Right click the file and delete or send to trash.
No, that is not related to this issue.
That is up to the O.P. I do not believe that is the DINO repository...

Okay, I found the file and deleted it. I then ran the commands you gave me and they both worked.
I think downloaded the deb package you gave me and when I go to run it, my Software opens up and spins and spins
Hey Michel, it should be, I run a full node for Qortal on my computer
You probably need to update the sources list first, since you deleted that file:
sudo apt update
Then,
sudo apt install gdebi
It will take a bit of time... use Gdebi to install the .deb package you downloaded.

Is a deb package like a zip, now that I've installed it, can I delete it?
Yes, you can if you want to. Or you can keep it to use to remove the package in the future.
Thank you for EVERYTHING
