Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: NEWBIE with first question

Good evening
Do Dez 27 17:53:47 2012 Thank you for help.

The sources list edit is a editing a text file, but you will need to use
sudo to open the editor.
*
Question:
Can I open a restricted file like this.
sudo
passwort
mc
Then using mc using there the editor.


That is complicated for a newbie. The easier
method is to use Synaptic.
*
Is that the package manager?

You may have to install it if it is not
installed.
*
I am using Xubuntu.
There is a Synaptic manager.


Then open Synaptic. It will ask for the password. This is
basically the same as using sudo above, but you do not have to navigate to
the sources file or use a text editor.
*
Ok

In Synaptic go to Settings, Repositories in the menu. There click on the
Updates tab.
*
OK
Then at the bottom change it from long term support versions
to For any new version.

Now I dont understand:

You can do the same thing from other application
that accesses the software sources, such as Update Manager, Settings or
Muon Updater. Or you can install a utility like Ubuntu Tweak. There are
many GUI ways to do what can be done from the commandline. It is up to you
to choose the way that works best for you.
*
???
I did open
Synaptic.
I wrote password.
Finished.
Sorry.
