Description | E: Malformed line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (type) | ||||
Could you paste the contents of the file? It might have accidentally been modified. |
|
Can you please explain a little more I'm new to this. |
|
Well, you need to provide more information about what you were doing when the error occurred. The error is quite clear: there is an error on line 2 of "/etc/apt/sources.list". Hence, a copy of that file's content would be helpful. deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2016.1 Kali-rolling - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20160830-11:29]/ kali-rolling contrib main non-free#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2016.1 Kali-rolling - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20160830-11:29]/ kali-rolling contrib main non-free deb https://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib#deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security wheezy/updates main The lines that start with "#", are comments, so they are ignored. |

root@kali:~# cat /etc/os-release |
|
i was trying to add mana toolkit |
|
i cannot run apt update as it just comes up with that error message. |
|
/etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied |
|
Could you try pasting this as root (all 3 lines)? cat <<EOF>/etc/apt/sources.list It's from https://www.kali.org/releases/kali-linux-2019-3-release/ (the section titled "Ensuring your Installation is Updated") and it should reset your /etc/apt/sources.list to sane defaults. If you have modified it, you could back it up first. |
|
Obsolete major version 11 |
|
running the install update and it says this? |
