sources,list not equal to what shows on terminal apt-get update

#1 Post by rtoledo2002 »

Please bear with me , my memory is failing me, yesterday I was trying to install a few packages and I remember seeing a reference to ppa.launchpad,net. I went into my sources.list file and I unenabled one line , but the references to ppa are not in there . so where is the system getting this from so I can edit it out ? below are 2 screen shots of the terminal and the sources list

Check in /etc/apt/sources.list.d for additional source files.

Thank you I am not that good in the terminal , I did look , but did not realize it was a dir . anyways I used double commander to that dir and double clicked the sources list , and the edit windows showed tabs and I found how to uncomment them out. finally figured out how to install nordvpn . what a hassle . I hate how companies do so little for the Linux community even when you are paying them for their services. the Windows app for nordvpn is a simple install . if it was not for KDE , that I was able to run their script that is terminal only.

thank you mm3100 for your help as it got me to the right destination

Best regards

Just out of interest, what do you think Nordvpn is doing for you?

Don't use ppa.launchpad,net. .ppa's are incompatible with Debian.

@Bulkley I think I added that while trying to install bacula , it never did install properly so I gave up and started looking on the web for a commercial alternative to do back ups to my Synology NAS , I liked the way rsync works on local harddrives , but I guess it's so old it does not do over network backups.

thanks for the help I left the ppa un-commented and will just delete them permanently

so far I am VERY impressed with Bullseye . I ended up installing it on a cheap HP laptop too, but on it i had already installed Buster , so I followed a couple of youtube guys(Stephen's tech talk, The Linux Experience xyz, and Daniel McFeeters on "proxmox ve install on debian) , that have excellent help videos and did the upgrade to bullseye . I only had to upgrade the generic video card drivers and all is good now.

really impressed by Debian , I have always had a love/hate affair with it since it's inception in the 80's . I just saw a youtube interview with Linus Torvalds and was laughing my ass with him as we both felt the same way , and he said stuff I was saying and STILL say about some things in Linux , it made me feel like I was not just the only one saying it.

anyways bottom line HAPPY with Bullseye . and impressed with Proxmox even though I have no need for that and I love bare metal installs and separate hard drives for my OS's I put this install on a 8TB drive so there's room to install every thing I can find

I will probably end up here again asking help with new and interesting packages IF I run into trouble..

As a new again / old user , I feel like I should write a how to for Windows users on useful utilities to make Linux friendlier . just need the time and more experience

thanks to mm3100 and sunrat as well as you bulkey
