I made a file on the desktop to add to source list and can't get sudo to mv it. what is wrong with this

"carl@carl-desktop:~$ sudo mv~/desktop/linuxcnc-buildbot.list:/etc/apt/sources.list.d"? Using gedit. Thanks Carl

Don't really understand what you are doing and how you are using gedit

Either open the file using gedit as root and then save as to the location you want or

just open /etc/apt/sources.list in gedit and paste in deb-src buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ lucid v2.5_branch-rt

Don't forget to run apt-get update afterwards

Thanks for trying to help. My problem is I'm in my mid 60s and know nothen about linux. Also I no longer retain things in memory and am getting very frustrated. Learning linux just ain't working.

What I want to do is install 2.5 and trying to follow the instructions. However the instructions are for people that know how and what to type in the termanal, Not for linux idiots like me. The instructions assume I have some linux knowlage.

I don't have a need to spend lots of time to learn alot about linux, it just ain't sticking, BUT I do want to use Linuxcnc. Carl

Thank you Andy, That got it. I thought it was a typo of some sort. Don't know when to use a space either. Carl
