malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:stevenpusser.listn(type)  E:The list of sources could not be read. Now I can't issue any sudo commands. This message is greek to me. I can't find /etc/apt/sources.list.d  How can I fix this problem?  I was trying to add the palemoon browser.
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.
Is it valid to have more than one question mark in a URL? Studying the equation $\ln(x)- 1+ x^2=0$ Do I need a Japanese transit visa when arriving at Narita and departing from Haneda? I'm arriving from New Delhi, India (Indian passport) with JAL at Narita on 11th July at 07:30 and departing for San Francisco with JAL at 00:05 on 12th July from Haneda. Do I need a transit visa as I'll be switching airports and spending a few hours at JAL City Haneda Airport Hotel?  Previously I had connecting flights from Narita to San Francisco and obtained shore passes to relax at Narita Nikko Hotel. Now I'm travelling with my elderly Mom and do not want complications at Narita immigration or later in the day while going from Narita Airport to Haneda airport. Please advise. I have an accompanied visa with my grandparents but because of some reason they cannot travel with me. I am above 17 years. Can I travel alone and will I be allowed to enter UK as my real aunt puts up there? Allow new users to comment for X times in a day While reviewing "First Posts" on Stack Overflow, I often come across new users posting comments as answers. It seems (at least to me) they are not doing this because they are unaware of how Stack Overflow works but because they can't comment on any question they are forced to put it as answer.  I have found duplicate questions for my request like:   ,  and    but the best explanation I have found is an  to .     I think the main reason this isn't supported is there's no way to   downvote comments, which would make them attractive to spammers. If   somebody comments on the top answer in a question the only way to get   rid of it is for six people to flag it. Comment flags don't show up on   10k tools, so it needs to be six people that happen to stumble across   the spam comment, or a moderator that checks the list manually. People   can comment every 15 seconds, so that can get out of hand pretty   quickly. Comments also aren't listed on the user's profile page, so   it's hard to see at a glance if a user has been spamming   So I am suggesting allowing new users (with less than 50 reputation points) to comment only 5 times every day or only 25 times times until they reach 50 reputation points or any other variation of it. I am trying to prove the existence of the square root of $2$.  I have some steps with a very vague explanation and I would like to clarify.  The proof: Let  $$S=\{x\in\mathbb R\mid x\geqslant 0 \text{ and } x^2&lt;2\}.$$  I understand the proof of LUB, ∝   and so I am at the step where $\alpha^2=2$.  I know that we are to prove by contradiction so we state let $\alpha^2 &lt;2$ and $\alpha^2 &gt;2$.  Now my instructor wants us to use the Archimedean Axiom $1/n = \varepsilon$.    $(\alpha^2 + 1/n)^2$  then what..... How can I find unused functions in a PHP project I found the following question about compactness:     A set $S\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ has the following property:   if a sequence of $S$ has exactly one accumulation point in $S$, then it converges in $S$. Prove that $S$ is compact.    We know that in $\mathbb{R}^n$ compact sets correspond to closed and bounded sets.   (1) I am trying to prove that $S$ is closed. The condition in the question says if a sequence of $S$ has an accumulation point in $S$ then it converges in $S$. I think instead the condition should be if a sequence of $S$ has an accumulation point( in $\mathbb{R}^n$, not necessarily in $S$ )then it converges in $S$.  Am I correct?  (2) How to prove that $S$ is bounded?  P.S. I have made an edit (there is exactly one accumulation point).  Source of the question:  of this problem set. Is it possible to smooth or generalize a polygon in QGIS, perhaps by using a plugin like the generalizer-plugin for lines?  I could convert my polygons to lines, smooth them and convert them back to polygons but this is not working for my polygons because of several reasons. I would like to use Class.newInstance() but the class I am instantiating does not have a nullary constructor. Therefore I need to be able to pass in constructor arguments. Is there a way to do this? Solve the functional equation $f(xy) = f(x)f(y) - f(x + y) + 1$ and $f(1) = 2$ I'm working on this problem already, the domain and co-domain are the set of Rational Numbers. we see that setting $x = 1$ and $y = n$, we obtain $f(n + 1) = f(n) + 1$  But I'm trying to prove that $f(n) = n + 1$ for all $n$, the case when $n = 1, 2$ is obviously true, how do I approach this via induction? Why do objects sometimes fall on their own? Let $f(x)$ a irreducible polynomial of degree $n$ over a field $F$. Let $g(x)$ be a polynomial in $F[x]$. Prove that every irreducible factor of the composition $f(g(x))$ has a degree which is divisible by $n$.  I don't know even how to begin. I really need help. Thanks Get latest Flash player on Ubuntu I know, it's been asked before but I couldn't really get a satisfying answer for some details/backgrounds and I guess it's an important question for many.    Some application seem only to be running with Adobe Flash 15 (or at least I know it does, because I have that version on my Windows Partition).  The official Adobe website says:     NOTE: Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be the last version to target Linux as a supported platform. Adobe will continue to provide security backports to Flash Player 11.2 for Linux.   Some search on the web like "Ubuntu Adobe Flash 15" or similar does not return any good websites.  I found something that says   (using a "pepper-based version"), and  .   Is it impossible to use this for Firefox too? Would it be a privacy risk?  Are there no alternative projects (I know it's closed source but there are so many so very bright people out there using something similar to wine but just for the plugin....)?  How about the Mac-Version? Shouldn't someone be able to port that one to Linux? Space of probability measures "complete"? (In the other sense) How to place a float at the top of a floats-only page? I am quite proficient with the keyboard and try to only use the mouse when necessary. Given that context I was very familiar with the shortcut keys in MS Outlook 2003 and never needed to use the mouse to use that product. Now my company has recently upgraded to MS Outlook 2010 and I am finding it impossible to operate it without having to use the mouse. In particular replying to meeting requests with the old shortcut keys no longer seems possible.   I have held down the ALT key and sometimes it shows some shortcuts on the ribbon but this seems to be limited to ALT+H which tends to alternate between designating "Accept" and "Tentative" without any keys for the other options. Also as this appears to switch between "Accept" and "Tentative" one can't even use this consistently without first having to check what it means for each particular instance.  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
