So I wanted to use googlecalendar within thunderbird.
The version of thunderbird that is installed in UE3.0 is to old and no support for this extention.
So I wanted to install latest stable release.
The normal way to do this is run in terminal
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable
result:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 60, in <module>
sp = SoftwareProperties()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 90, in __init__
self.reload_sourceslist()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 538, in reload_sourceslist
self.distro.get_sources(self.sourceslist)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptsources/distro.py", line 91, in get_sources
raise NoDistroTemplateException("Error: could not find a "
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template
no source is added in the sources.list.
So you can not install it with synaptic package manager.
