Well, i messed around and managed to break both. I tried to install Waterfox web browser and i used terminal to add a repository(i think) and it failed. Then after,when i tried to run Software manager ,after clicking on the icon nothing happened. When i try to run Synaptic i get to type in the password and i get this error msg;
"E: Type 'curl' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/waterfox-release-hawkeye116477.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."
How to fix it?
