[RESOLVED] default sources.list?

[tbenst]

Hiya! My first time on these forums. I uh made an unfortunate mistake on Kubuntu 22.04... added a line to /etc/apt/sources.list in vim, forgot sudo, "remembered" the write with sudo trick, but did it wrong and clobbered the file. I typed `!sudo tee %` which i now realize overwrites an empty file. big oops. instead of the correct `w !sudo tee %`.

I'm wondering if anyone would be so kind as to post the default /etc/apt/sources.list file? Would save me the hassle of installing Kubuntu 22.04 in a virtual machine to find standard content of this file.

Many thanks!

You can edit, or even replace a missing sources.list using the Software Sources tool, which can be found in Discover's settings area as well as in Muon's menus. or run from krunner ot the terminal via pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY software-properties-qt.

Then, just check the options like so:

If you had actually deleted the file, the Software Sources tool may not show up in Discover, if there are also no PPA or other sources present.
The tool is still accessible from Muon or calling manually.

But in any case here is the full default text from the file:

This was such a lifesaver. Thank you! Checking options did not fix, but copying the default text did.
