I'm trying to install steam on my new chrome book but every tutorial I've watched on trying to fix this or on how to install steam gives me this problem.  I've looked at the related question  and I've tried a lot of solutions but my terminal is saying   sudo: gedit: command not found   Then when I try to install gedit with sudo apt-get install gedit it says:  E: Malformed line 4 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (type) E: The list of sources could not be read. E: Malformed line 4 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (type) E: The list of sources could not be read.   What should I do?

I have unistalled and reinstalled the Ubuntu Software Center as per info I found in a similar thread and I got the same response about line 91 or something like that.  I just tried to upload a screen shot but since I'm new it won't allow me to.  I also can not figure out how to cut and paste anything so I have to hand type what the error screen says, both when I attempt to open the software center and nothing happens, when I try to enter commands into the terminal to uninstall, reinstall, whatever I get the same following:  COULD NOT INTITIALIZE THE PACKAGE INFORMATION An unresolvable problem occured while initializing the package information Please report t:his bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E: Malformed line 91 in source list/etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)  E: The list of sources could not be read.,  E: The package list of status file could not be parsed or opened.   How do I report bugs?  What can be done about this.  I have searched and everything everyone says to do leads me back to the same line error message.  So, I don't know how to get to line 91 in the source list; to tell you what it says. Sorry, I'm really new to this. That is what I need is to find out how to get there and fix what it says. I would really like to NOT have to re partition my hard drive and start from scratch, so I'm really looking forward to getting this problem solved. I need to be able to install new software.

I'm looking for a portable version of Chrome (not Chromium) that I can work with on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I can only find Chromium or really outdated versions. Due to limitation on the machine I'm using, I cannot install Wine or utilize any admin features as I am on a standard account. Ideally, I would rather have an official version or at least one that exists in a repository that I can apt-get from.   (I understand that apt-get requires sudo, I can use it for the initial vagrant setup, but that's all. Hence why I would need non-admin methods)

I have a bash script that has permission to execute, but when I double click it in nautilus it won't execute, instead it opens as text in gedit.   In properties it says open with: gedit, and that doesn't change when I click the reset button.  What do I have to do to make it execute? I'm running Ubuntu 13.04. I never had an issue like this one with 12.04 or with any other distribution in general.  EDIT If I go in terminal and type: ./bashscriptname it runs just fine.

I'm seeing people say things like sudo apt-get remove steam and sudo dpkg -r steam but neither are working.   I ran dpkg-query -l *steam* and I get the following:  Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description +++-==============-============-============-================================= un  steam          &lt;none&gt;       &lt;none&gt;       (no description available) rc  steam-launcher 1.0.0.47     all          Launcher for the Steam software d un  steam64        &lt;none&gt;       &lt;none&gt;       (no description available)   Not sure if this helps.  The steam FAQ doesn't seem to help either. I'm pretty sure I didn't do any apt-get install for Steam. I downloaded the steam_latest.deb from the website. Any ideas?   Update: I do have what I believe to be the folder in ~/.steam. What I'm wondering now is, if I remove this folder, what else do I need to remove?

I tried to install using following command for 32-bit system.  wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb   But I got an error:  Resolving dl.google.com (dl.google.com)... 216.58.199.174, 2404:6800:4009:807::200e Connecting to dl.google.com (dl.google.com)|216.58.199.174|:443... connected.

As it was instructed in another thread here in the forums, I opened the /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache file to check for correct references. And noticed this doesn't seem to be the problem, there even are 3 optional browsers to use.  x-scheme-handler/http=google-chrome.desktop;chromium-browser.desktop;firefox.desktop; x-scheme-handler/https=google-chrome.desktop;chromium-browser.desktop;firefox.desktop;   I already checked that the programs are correctly named, using the "which" command in the terminal, like this:  $ which google-chrome $ /usr/bin/google-chrome   So google-chrome should be the first option and yet the order to open a url doesn't seem to be arriving to the program, not even to the 2nd or 3rd option for that matter anyways.  Also, the 'Get help online...' command in the 'Help' menu doesn't work. So it is not a problem with the specific document file either.  I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. If you need to ask for more relevant details, please do. It would be nice to have various opinions on how to solve this, thank you :-)  UPDATE: I ran evince from the terminal as asked. This is what I'm getting when trying to open a link:  /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome: line 42: /opt/google/chrome/chrome: Permission denied /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome: line 42: /opt/google/chrome/chrome: Success   Should I try the fix you suggested even if my error log is different?  UPDATE: Tried @maggotbrain's solution and BINGO, now I can study pdf references faster thanks to you bro!

I've just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 18.10 on my system. I updated the OS via sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade commands. After that I installed Google Chrome.  These are the only things I've done prior to installing the Sublime Text 3 text editor .  I obtained the install commands from Sublime Text's download web page. Then I proceeded to install the editor using them.  wget -qO - https://download.sublimetext.com/sublimehq-pub.gpg | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https echo "deb https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/stable/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sublime-text   The installation completed without any hiccups, but when I try to launch the application, it fails to do so.    You can see on the taskbar that the application is starting up, and the mouse pointer shows the loading animation (that doesn't show up on the screenshot though), but Sublime Text 3 doesn't start.  I don't get any errors or anything. I've even rechecked if I was missing any dependencies via terminal, and checked for updates and upgrades one more time, but nothing was missing. I've tried googling the issue, but haven't found anything.  EDIT: The solution to this issue, which I've tested on multiple PCs (that worked on all of them), is executing this command:  sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0

gedit is set by default to open about any source file. I've gone through the file properties and changed default application to VIM for C and C++ files.  I'd need to do this for any source file I open now, for python files, for text files, for ruby, any, since gedit is set to open all of them.  How can I change this to open with VIM without going the hassle of setting "open with" one by one?

I've been trying to install .deb chrome file (google-chrome-stable_current_amd.64.deb). It is saved in my Downloads, so I tried this command   sudo apt-get install ~/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd.64.deb    After reading the package list it responds:  E: Unsupported file /home/stockton/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd.64.deb given on command line   I don't know why it says E: file, I though Linux drives and files are not named after letters like Windows drives, for example 'C:' but idk I can still be wrong. I did have Windows 10 before I booted Ubuntu.  Any help will be great.

After upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04, Steam doesn't start.

When I type man bash it shows the info in the terminal itself.  How do I tell "man" to open up the info in gedit instead? Is this possible?

I've just updated to 11.10 and now my embedded terminal in gedit does not match my default terminal. I hate looking at a white and black terminal. Does anyone know how to make the embedded terminal match the default terminal?  This is a screenshot:    I want my embedded terminal in gedit to match my default terminal.

I have been on quite the odyssey trying to get steam to work.   I am using Ubuntu 15.04 and the linux 4.0.5 kernel. System specs:  Intel haswell quad core CPU AMD Radeon 7870 Graphics Samsung 850 EVO SSD 16GB Memory  I was able to get steam to work in 14.04LTS, but I had other problems with that version; namely flash issues in chrome. So I updated to 15.04 and my system is more stable (except for steam, there is always something...)  I have tried removing various lib files to no effect. I have removed and installed steam a few times and it doesn't appear to be working.   I tried switching to the proprietary drivers, but that causes my system to hang when it boots. In order to fix it I completely removed and purged fglrx from my system. I attempted to reinstall the proprietary drivers via command line according the ubuntu page instructions, and ran into the same error, so I am stuck with the open source drivers.  I can only assume that my card is no longer supported by the proprietary drivers, which is frustrating.   Before I removed the proprietary drivers I got the same error as these guys:   Now that I have removed the proprietary drivers I am getting missing lib errors, which I guess is not surprising:  libGL error: unable to load driver: radeonsi_dri.so libGL error: driver pointer missing libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast  I am about ready to give up and am seriously considering buying an Nvidia card. If anybody has any suggestions on what else I can do, I would really appreciate it.
