New installation - /etc/apt/sources.list is empty

michaelk · 2017-03-16 15:03

Hi,
I just installed Q4OS, runs smooth. Synaptic works - but I checked /etc/apt and found there is no content in the sources.list. Is this „normal“, did I make any mistake?

Q4OS uses the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for this.

Thanks a lot! Good to know! If one is only a bit experienced with Debian it is kind of surprising.
# Q4OS essential repository
# **** !!! NEVER touch this CRITICAL system file **** !!!

And nice that this is written within the file! ;-)

You can still use the sources.list file if you have to add a repository that is not within Q4OS lists, and if you really wanted you could add the entries from the sources.list.d directory into the sources.list file manually and remove them from sources.list.d, although it would definitely NOT be a recommended way to do things, just another option.

you can just follow the instructions on the page you linked to. It adds a file to the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder which in turn populates the apt database, from there you can install it in the usual manner.

I try this, but don't work...

aldrik@q4os-desktop:~$ echo 'deb http://apt.jurisic.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nextcloud.list
bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nextcloud.list: Permission non accordée
aldrik@q4os-desktop:~$ sudo echo 'deb http://apt.jurisic.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nextcloud.list
bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nextcloud.list: Permission non accordée
aldrik@q4os-desktop:~$

I'm a noob

Easiest way is to become root first with

sudo su

You will have to enter your password here.
Then run your command

echo 'deb http://apt.jurisic.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nextcloud.list

now exit from root

exit

And simply continue with update and then installation.
