Ubuntu 14.04 LTS sources.list contents

Question

This question is a followup for this [one].1

I've identified the problem as being related to different xorg driver versions. My /etc/apt/sources.list file on the upgraded system is as follows:

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release amd64 (20130213)]/ dists/precise/main/binary-i386/

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release amd64 (20130213)]/ dists/precise/restricted/binary-i386/
# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release amd64 (20130213)]/ precise main restricted

This is the same file used for 12.04. I've replaced it with:

deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security main restricted universe multiverse 
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main restricted universe multiverse

I am now unable to reinstall the xserver-xorg package(package xserver-xorg has no installation candidate). May someone please post the contents of the sources.list files on an Ubuntu 14.04.01 workstation with a functional xserver package?

Solution

Here's a standard one, but if your packages are somehow messed up, changing your sources.list might not be sufficient.

Comments

[Piotr Kula]

what is the difference between trusty and precise ?

[fkraiem]

Precise is 12.04 and Trusty is 14.04. If you are using Precise, replacing 'trusty' with 'precise' in the above will work.

[Piotr Kula]

Oops. used trusty on 12.04
