The error is:

Quote:

Type 'sudo' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list

No need for the command sudo in the file. The enrty should look something like this:

Code:

deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free

Quote:

W:Ignoring file 'spotify.listsudo' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension

The above is a warning. To get rid of it, delete the file '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.listsudo'

One way would be to type the following in a terminal:

Code:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.listsudo

So it got rid of the sportify file but now it wont update anymore when I go sudo apt-get update

Code:

shawn@shawn-Aspire-T690:~$ sudo apt-get update

[sudo] password for shawn: 

E: Type 'sudo' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list

E: The list of sources could not be read.

shawn@shawn-Aspire-T690:~$

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list

And in when I open the synaptic package manager i get this

Code:

E: Type 'sudo' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list

E: The list of sources could not be read.

Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.

E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

In a terminal, type the command:

Code:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list

You must have sudo at the beginning of line #2 in that file. You need to remove it. The contents of the file should look like the following (as stated in post #2):

Code:

deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free

Ok so I typed in cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list and it said "sudo apt-get update"

What was on line #1?

All you need in that file is "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free". Edit it and remove the "sudo apt-get update"

I got this to be exact so now what?:

Code:

shawn@shawn-Aspire-T690:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list



sudo apt-get update

shawn@shawn-Aspire-T690:~$

You can use a simple text editor (nano) to edit the file, but you have to have root user privileges. So in a terminal type:

Code:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list

Remove the line "sudo apt-get update" and add "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free"
Save and exit.

So I deleted all the spotify stuff using that awesome sudo rm thing u told me and i did the nano thing too and now its working and my computers updating again. And I really appreciate your help bro. Pss I dont think you would have a link to a proper spotify install guide for 32bit lxle?
