install signal / update error - printemps - 03-18-2019
Hi,
I tried to install Signal's desktop version on Lite 3.8 with following commands:
curl -s https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt/keys.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install signal-desktop
Following error occurs:
E:Type 'sudo' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list
E:The list of sources could not be read.
Same error for Linux Lite updates when it tries to fetch the package cache information lists...
What can I do?
Thanks for help

Not sure how you typed this part into terminal but it should be one line
Code:
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.listTo check the sources list:
Code:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.listThe only line in the signal-xenial.list file should be
Code:
deb [arch=amd64] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial mainYou may need to edit the line, then control-x , y, and enter to save any edits.
Then try:
Code:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install signal-desktopRe: install signal / update error - printemps - 03-18-2019
Thanks a lot.
After editing the sources list and reducing to one line, update and installation worked without problem.
