@Marc. Thanks for clearing up my question on the security issue. I found a temporary work around. Since the link in the Gnome menu was broken and also in synaptic, I found a terminal command, which opens the source file in a Gedit window. the command is: "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.lst" It's just a command that opens the sources list file like a text file, and you can manually erase any broken links. I knew a specific source was broken because I was getting an error on the system tray which was an exclamation mark icon. Trying to run an update resulted with the exact broken souce, I just copied and searched in the sources.lst file for that address and removed it, then saved the file and closed the window. Now an update can be run without any broken link errors.

Clicking "software sources" from administration menu doesn't do anything, and also Repositories from the Synaptic menu doesn't do anything either. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580792 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
