Well, you posted in Debian. Your browser logo says Ubuntu. Now what does

Code:

cat os-release

from terminal spit out so people know what you are running so they can answer intelligently.

Hmmmm My bad. I went too fast because I am doing some testing.

Code:

harry@biker:~
$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="7"
VERSION="7 (wheezy)"
ID=debian
ANSI_COLOR="1;31"
HOME_URL="http://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.debian.org/support/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.debian.org/"
$ inxi -r
Repos:     Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/antix.list
           deb http://antix.daveserver.info/stable stable main
           Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list
           deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
           deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
           Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/various.list
           deb http://www.duinsoft.nl/pkg debs all

Edit: if running wheezy. ignore my duinsoft and daveserver entries and just use the 2 wheezy which are usa mirrors or go with Debain sources list generator. Google search will tell you where that is at.

Debian Sid. I've deleted the lines that were "remarked out":

Code:

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing-proposed-updates contrib non-free main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing-proposed-updates contrib non-free main

That is not a sources.list for Sid. Sid is "unstable". Yours reads "testing". This is Jessie, the next Debian release; Debian 8.

If you look at the Debian Questions index here on LQ the very first thread listed, on of the stickies, is "Post your sources.list. Been there a long time, since Etch I think.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...13/page18.html

Will take you to the last page and you can go back from there if needed.

That said;

Code:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
## deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main non-free contrib
## deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main

I have never felt the need to use the "proposed" repo. The packages are not as stable as the ones in the testing repo as they have not really migrated from the Sid repos yet.

But then I run Sid on another install.
