      @renario910 No, you open the file @BuZz indicated (/etc/apt/sources.list) with a text editor and replace the contents of the file with the text indicated.

        @mitu yes, but after that he aslo said "or use this one", which got me confused. I also didn't understood a single word under the black box with text.

          @BuZz it gives me an error while trying to save:
          "Could not save the file "/etc/apt/sources.list"."
          You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again.

          (the file is read only)

              from a terminal, type sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

              but i think it's also important to familiarize yourself with some basic unix/linux concepts, since this is turning into more of an Ubuntu support thread.
