Bug Description

After installing the new version, I find that as such, it works like a charm. Preferences window still hangs on 'apply', but works well if I just 'save'. However, there is a typo(?) in the two files that end up in /etc/apt/sources.list.d (realtime_sunlight_wallpaper-rsw-natty.list and realtime_sunlight_wallpaper-rsw-natty.list.save) They both end in the letters 'ain' on the last, separate line. It looks like this:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/realtime.sunlight.wallpaper/rsw/ubuntu natty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/realtime.sunlight.wallpaper/rsw/ubuntu natty main
ain

This little 'ain' causes my software centre to hang, rendering it incapable of reading the sources list and of listing both the available and installed programmes. The centre therefore no longer provides any updates to my installed programmes. The files cannot be edited, and I can't seem to replace or remove them either. What to do?

Thank you for an otherwise beautiful wallpaper, and hope the bugs can be ironed out (and my updates start working again) ;D

Did you tried:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/<name_of_file>

and removing the exra "ain"

Erhm,

sorry, didn't think as far as that... -Guess I got carried away when the
software centre bombed... Now it works great again, and I'm off to check
the rest of the programme.

Many thanks; I often need someone to point out to me the bleedingly
obvious..!

This must be a typo created by Ubuntu installing the ppa.
